Brief Resume: |
|
I am currently a Lecturer
in the School of Informatics at the University of Wales at Bangor. My work involves research into Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Agents. Ongoing research also has specifically focused on applying text compression-based language models
to Information Retrieval (IR), text mining (i.e. Information Extraction) and Question Answering. Before I came
to Bangor, I was a research fellow with the Information Retrieval Group under
Prof. David Harper at The Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland from 1999-2000;
an invited researcher in the Information Theory Dept. at Lund University
in Sweden in 1999; and a Research Assistant in the Machine Learning and Digital Libraries Labs at
the University of Waikato in New Zealand in 1998. At Waikato, I completed my Ph.D. in 1998 on applying
text compression models to the problem of modelling English text.

Research Interests: |
|
I have a long standing interest in the area of text compression and
information theory. My research over the last few years has concentrated on the
application of compression-based language models to various problems in natural
language processing, computational linguistics, information retrieval and text mining
(information extraction).
