He was the Program Co-chair for the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) 2008, and is currently a member of the boards of the International Machine Learning Society and the editorial board of the Journal of Machine Learning Research. He has given tutorials or invited talks at NIPS, KDD, ACL, EMNLP, and elsewhere. He is the General Chair of ICML 2012. For the past fifteen years, McCallum has been active in research on statistical machine learning applied to text, especially information extraction, entity disambiguation, information integration, document classification, clustering, finite state models, semi-supervised learning, and social network analysis. Recent work on search and bibliometric analysis of open-access research literature can be found at http://rexa.info.
