My research develops machine learning and data mining techniques to discover knowledge for intelligent, decision support and product design software systems. Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is a major focus of my research. Recent CBR research learns retrieval and adaptation knowledge from the database of case knowledge. A novel complexity-based competence model is applied within maintenance algorithms to remove redundant or noisy cases, and to discover new cases for the case base. Knowledge discovery is also addressing textual CBR where knowledge sources are text or Web documents.
Application domains include pharmaceutical product design, electronic patient records, SmartHouse devices, intelligent Web agents, space satellites. Collaborators include IPI Bradford, AstraZeneca, ESA, LogicaCMG, IntelliCorp, ISoft (France).
Externally, I am a member of the programme committees of ECCBR, ICCBR, ECML/PKDD; EPSRC Peer College; and the Selection Panel for Frank Knox scholarships to Harvard.
