• Research

  • My research focus is in Natural Language Processing. I fancy myself an expert in Natural Language Parsing
  • I am particularly interested in how people process language. With this in mind, I have another interest in Hebbian Connectionist systems. I think that this mechanism gives a reasonable (though of course incomplete)explanation on how people think.
  • Natural Language Processing is a sub-field of Artificial Intelligence, and I take a wide interest in other areas of AI, particularly where they apply to Natural Language.
  • I'm currently managing the EIS School Research Seminars .
  • I was the convener for the AI research group ( old page). Here is a link for my current AI group stuff.
  • I'm a member of the AI reading group, and, aside from 2009-2010, have run it since 1998.
  • You can see some of my papers.

• Recreational Activities and other

  • I've got some pictures of my son Jody, of my daughter Harmony, and of my daughter Eden.
  • My brother George Anthony has a site at G.A. George.
  • I play Ultimate Frisbee.
  • I play a little sloppy rhythm guitar.
  • Links to things not closesly related to teaching or research.
