Summary
My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), particularly in the areas of data-to-text and natural language generation (NLG), interactive systems, assistive technologies, and domain transfer and adaptability for data analytics in a wider AI context. I have spent the last few years working with neural networks as a primary algorithm family but have previously worked with graphical models, clustering and reinforcement learning. Most recently I have become interested in applying AI and NLP in "useful" contexts such as mental health, operations and maintenance in an engineering context, and in a natural world context such as prediction of water flow and quality.
