Michael Wick
Michael Wick joined Oracle Labs Burlington in 2014. He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science under adviser Andrew McCallum at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. His interest in developing new machine learning and inference algorithms is driven by applications such as information extraction, data integration, and knowledge base construction. In 2009 he received the Yahoo! Award for Excellence in Search and Mining and in 2010 he received the Yahoo! Key Scientific Challenges award. He is also an organizer of the 2012 and 2013 ICML workshops Inferning: Interactions Between Inference and Learning. He is a former TA for Graphical Models (CMPSCI 691), and a former organizer for the Machine Learning and Friends lunch.
