He leads the Information and Language Processing group[2] at the University of Amsterdam, the Intelligent Systems Lab Amsterdam[3] and the Center for Creation, Content and Technology.[4]
He is the director of the newly established Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence and a former director of Amsterdam Data Science.
De Rijke was elected a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2017.[5][6]
He was awarded the Tony Kent Strix award in 2017.[7]
Work
During the first ten years of his scientific career Maarten de Rijke worked on formal and applied aspects of modal logic. At the start of the 21st century, De Rijke switched to information retrieval. He has since worked on XML retrieval, question answering, expert finding and social media analysis.
Publications
Maarten de Rijke has published more than 700 papers and books.[8]
