Biography

My childhood had began in Bangkok, Thailand, in 1964. Nothing was interesting from there until I started my educational life in the faculty of Engineering, King Mongkut Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, in 1982. I left KMITL by the end of 1986, with a Electronic Engineering Diplome and earned by myself, the first year after my university education, at Telephone Organization of Thailand. In 1987, I had changed my job, due to my eagerness to reach the sky, to Thai Airways Ltd. My educational life began again in the mid 1990 when I had won a National Scientific Foundation's test. As the result, from there until now, I am the first year doctoral student at Telecom-Paris, under the direction of Mr. Alain GRUMBACH and Mr. Martin RAJMAN in AI research group of Computer Science Department. My current research is focussing on Knowledge Representation and Information Extraction Techniques for large scale of Natural Language Text, applied particularly in Information Retrieval domain.

Distributional Semantics : Application to Information Retrieval from Large Textual Databases

My research concerns the development of semantic models for textual document retrieval systems. The models we are focussing on take place in framework based on a "distributional semantics" where semantic proximities are derived from co-frequency matrices computed on large textual corpora.

The queries and documents are represented in an unified way as projections in a vector space of pertinent terms. Different similarity measures will be tested to characterize the proximity between queries and documents.
