Projects

I have been involved in a number of research projects.

NIS/DAIS-ITA project

2014-2017. The ITA program is a research project undertaken by a coalition between the UK MoD and US Army Research Labs, led by IBM. Whilst on this project I worked closely wth IBM Emerging Technology on Controlled English and machine task assignment - particularly the CENode library and engine.

PhD: Inferring interestingness in online social networks

2010-2014. My PhD research (looking into the 'unfiltered feed' problem in online social networks) resulted in a number of key academic outputs and my thesis.
