Research
Dr. Sarker's research interests and expertise lie at the intersection of natural language processing (NLP), applied machine learning, social media mining and the application of innovations in these fields to solve problems in the broader health domain. His research primarily focuses on developing data-centric solutions that utilize biomedical natural language data from various domains such as social media, clinical notes and medical literature. He is particularly interested in designing, developing and deploying end-to-end NLP and machine learning systems that can extract useful knowledge that is encapsulated within large free text data.
Publications
Dr. Sarker has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications in journals, conferences and workshops. He currently serves as an associate editor for BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making and is an editorial board member for Digital Health: Frontiers in Public Health.
