Profile
Rosie Jones is a Senior Research Scientist in Information Retrieval. She is an active participant in the IR community, serving as Senior PC member for SIGIR in 2007 and 2008.
Her research interests include web search, geographic information retrieval and natural language processing.
She is also interesting in Asian language processing and multi-lingual approaches to language tasks, as well as in privacy issues surrounding query log analysis.
In 2005 she co-organized the SIGIR workshop on lexical cohesion and information retrieval, and in 2003 she co-organized the ICML workshop on the Continuum from Labeled to Unlabeled Data in Machine Learning and Data Mining.
Dr. Jones obtained her PhD from the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University under the supervision of Professor Tom Mitchell.
