• Research

  • My main research area is neural processing. I'm particularly interested in cell assemblies, and here is a gentle introduction to cell assemblies. We had some grants on Neuromorphic Embodied Agents that Learn as part of the Human Brain Project.
  • My second research focus is in Natural Language Processing. I am 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.
  • We ran a working group on Neuromorphic Natural Language Processing at the Neuromorphic Workshop in Telluride in the summer of 2015.
  • I used to manage the EIS School Research Seminars , a version on this server, and a draft of the 2012-2013 Science and Technology seminar series.
  • I used to run the AI research group ( old page). Here is a link for my current AI group stuff. I'm managing the seminar series this year.
  • 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.
  • I'm helping with Middlesex's Annual Research Student Summer Conference.

• 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.
