Allow me to introduce myself

Welcome, traveller, to my page. Enjoy your brief stay while you get to know me!

My name is Vlad, I’m a scientific Python developer and a student researcher in computational linguistics at the University of Bucharest. You might know me from twitter as @vnfrombucharest or from github as @vene. I’m also on facebook and g+. I am a contributor to the scikit-learn machine learning library for the scientific Python ecosystem. You can transmit your thoughts to me at vladhunter2@vene.ro.

Areas of interest

Corpus pattern analysis in the context of metaphors, similes and other unconventional uses of language, unsupervised word/pattern representations, web corpus building. On the more applied side I have a cool project in mind regarding extracting data from rendered plots. Feel free to e-mail me.

What’s on this site?

You should take a look at the list of my publications. It’s not much, but I try. For now I only have conference posters. The materials for talks that I’ve had the honour of giving are also available.

If you can spare a minute, please go over to my blog.

If you’re (or were) in one of my classes, you can find links and stuff I collected for you in the teaching section.

You can read about the fonts I’m using on this page and I’m sure you’ll find it interesting, especially if you’re mathematically inclined. Then again, people don’t usually get my math jokes, so I won’t get my hopes up.
