Overview
Keisuke Inoue is in his forth year in the PhD program at iSchool of
Syracuse University. His academic background includes MA in
Linguistics (2005), MS in Computer Science (2002), and BA in Law
(1996). Prior to pursuing the master degrees, he worked in a
computer software industry, where he grew his interest in information
technologies and information behaviors.
Research Interests
Keisuke's current research focus is modeling the discourse of
online information-seeking dialogues. He believes doing so will contribute to the information retrieval research in two ways:
- to find out how to utilize online conversation archives as an information resource for information retrieval systems; and
- to provide implications for designing interactive processes for information retrieval systems.
