Daniel Tunkelang is co-founder and Chief Scientist at Endeca, a leading
provider of enterprise information access solutions. He heads up
Endeca's efforts to develop features and capabilities that emphasize
interactive information retrieval.
Daniel is recognized as a leading advocate of Human Computer Information
Retrieval, a multidisciplinary effort to bridge the gap between the more
systems-oriented work in information retrieval and the more cognitively
focused approach in library and information science. He has organized
annual workshops on the subject, the first being held at MIT and the
second at Microsoft Research. He publishes The Noisy Channel, a widely
read and cited blog on the information seeking process.
Daniel holds undergraduate degrees in mathematics and computer science
from the MIT and a PhD in computer science from CMU. Before co-founding
Endeca, he worked at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center and AT&T Labs
(formerly Bell Labs).
