Vision: My research is driven by the vision to assemble the cognitive output of very large user populations on the World Wide Web. My main research objective is to understand the fundamental mechanisms that govern social processes and the collective cognitive output produced by such social-computational systems. My work aims at advancing a Science of the Web, i.e. a new avenue for research focused on the World Wide Web as an engineered artifact that fundamentally transforms the way humans work, live and interact with each other.

Focus: In my research, I focus on two kinds of crowd-based knowledge production systems on the World Wide Web in particular: My research on supervised crowd-based knowledge production systems studies the collective output that emerges as a direct product of cognitive user activity, such as collaboratively constructed ontologies or Wikipedia articles. My research on unsupervised crowd-based knowledge production systems studies properties that emerge as a byproduct of cognitive user activity, such as folksonomy structures in social tagging systems. Overall, my research contributes to a number of directly related fields including web science, social media, the semantic web, knowledge management, library and information management and knowledge discovery and data mining.

Past research: Together with students and collaborators, I have developed methods and tools to assemble the cognitive output produced by users in different domains. In the domain of search, I have developed algorithms to extract and aggregate a large number of search goals (more than 100.000) from search query logs, which can be analyzed and used for different purposes. In the domain of social tagging systems, I have developed and studied methods to model user behavior, to aggregate tags for the construction of folksonomies (i.e. ``folk'' generated taxonomies) and to influence the quality of emerging properties. In the domain of social awareness streams, I have developed scalable tools to aggregate and explore the content of conversations on Twitter by studying hashtags and their semantics. In the domain of open source software development, I have studied qualities of software production (i.e. bugs) and their relation with social processes.

Approach: My research is mostly driven by empirical studies and ``living lab'' experiments, utilizing datasets and research prototypes to study phenomena and evaluate algorithms in different domains. In work on social tagging systems, I have also recently adopted simulations as a way to model user behavior.

Applications: This work has applications to domains where a large number (potentially millions) of users directly or indirectly interact with each other, and where their collective cognitive output needs to be analyzed, measured, organized, facilitated, influenced or improved. This includes domains such as libraries, health policy, open source software development, multimedia content management and open government where the aggregation of user generated content, the analysis of user behavior and the integration of crowdsourcing approaches promises to broaden participation, to facilitate engagement, and to find scalable solutions to large scale problems.

Future Directions: Recent technological as well as societal developments make such technology-mediated, participatory approaches to large-scale problem solving appear feasible and within our reach. However, achieving this vision involves significant technological, engineering and other challenges which require effective collaboration among an interdisciplinary array of researchers providing expertise in cognitive psychology, social dynamics and social networks, software engineering, algorithms, large-scale computational methods, data mining and knowledge representation. With my background in computer science and knowledge management, I tackle interdisciplinary challenges through specific collaborations with colleagues from related disciplines.
