M. Levent Koc

News: I've completed my Masters in the Department of Computer Sciences in 2011 and joined to Google.

I am a masters student and alumni scholar in the Department of Computer Sciences at University of Wisconsin-Madison. I obtained my B.S. degree in computer engineering from Bilkent University, Turkey.

My research interests include, but are not limited to, area of data management and database systems. I am also interested in information retrieval, machine learning and natural language processing applications.

As a member of the Wisconsin DB group, I work with Prof. Chris Ré on large-scale text classification and deduplication by leveraging database management systems. More information is on our project website Hazy-Classify.
