Jack G. Conrad

Author: Jack G. Conrad

Senior Research Scientist with Thomon Reuters Research & Development

Jack\'s research areas fall under a broad spectrum of Information Retrieval topics. Some of these include document clustering and deduplication for knowledge management systems, resource selection in massive data
environments, and document structure analysis for legal texts. Jack has researched and implemented resource
discovery techniques for applications in an operational environment consisting of tens of thousands of databases
and has developed and evaluated algorithms for real-time fuzzy duplicate detection in large document repositories.
He has authored numerous technical papers and has several patents pending. Jack completed his graduate studies in English (Linguistics) at the University of British Columbia-Vancouver and in Computer Science (Information Retrieval) at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. His undergraduate fields of study were Electrical Engineering and English at Marquette University in Milwaukee.
