My primary research focus is on issues related to information extraction from
documents especially documents retrieved from the World-Wide-Web. Apart
from extracting information from the web, we have started looking into
extracting information from tables and images in digital documents
automatically. Of special interest to me is automated geo-spatial
information extraction and visualization.
