Short Biography

Dr. Argamon received his B.Sc. (1988) in Applied Mathematics from Carnegie-Mellon University, and his M.Phil. (1991) and Ph.D. (1994) in Computer Science from Yale University, where he was a Hertz Foundation Fellow. He was a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellow (1994-96) at Bar-Ilan University in Israel and a faculty member at the Jerusalem College of Technology, before joining IIT in 2002.

Dr. Argamon's current research interests are in the application of machine learning to functional analysis of natural language, with applications in national security, biomedical informatics, and humanities scholarship. During his career, he has published numerous research papers in empirical machine learning, intelligent robotics, theory revision, and natural language processing. Dr. Argamon is the editor of Computational Methods for Counterterrorism (2009, Springer) and The Structure of Style: Algorithmic Approaches to Manner and Meaning (2010, Springer) as well as cofounder of the Chicago Colloquium on Digital Humanities and Computer Science.
