Data-Intensive Text Processing with MapReduce

Jimmy Lin is an Associate Professor in the iSchool (College of Information Studies) at the University of Maryland, College Park. He directs the recently-formed Cloud Computing Center, an interdisciplinary group that explores the many aspects of cloud computing as it impacts technology, people, and society. Lin's research lies at the intersection of natural language processing and information retrieval, with a recent emphasis on scalable algorithms and large-data processing. He received his Ph.D. from MIT in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 2004.
