Aditi Muralidharan

I'm a fifth-year Ph.D student with Professor Marti Hearst in the Department of Computer Science at UC Berkeley.

I build user interfaces for search, browsing, and analysis on text collections and linked data.

My background is in human-computer interaction and text mining, and my projects usually involve natural language processing, machine learning, information retrieval, UI design and visualization.
