A few more things:

I have co-organized:

the AAAI-2004 workshop on Adaptive Text Extraction and Mining.
the IJCAI-2001 workshop on Adaptive Text Extraction and Mining.
the AAAI-1999 workshop on Machine Learning for Information Extraction

I am the librarian of the RISE repository of online information sources used in information extraction tasks (i.e., RISE is a collection of test domains for learning extraction rules / extraction patterns). RISE also provides information about:

Domains of interest: machine learning (eg, active, semi-supervised , and meta- learning), information extraction and wrapper induction, and intelligent agents that integrate data from heterogeneous sources. In my previous lives I was quite interested in AI planning, distributed, object-oriented systems and the theory of computer science.
