Comments I Read: Jeremy Pickens

Jeremy Pickens doesn’t have a blog–as far as the blogosphere goes, he is homeless.

He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst at the Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval (CIIR). Jeremy did his post-doctoral work at King’s College in London from 2004-2005.

They are certainly worth reading. and I hope he keeps contributing once he does have a blog of its own–which is inevitable.
