I also maintain a page on concept drift and hidden changes in context. My PhD has just been accepted - woo hoo. It was submitted in November 1999, and was completed in my time at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory within the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of New South Wales . I'm now a researcher for Pacific Knowledge Systems . I'm also winding back my software and AI consulting business.
Life is too short to do things by halves.
I'm generally interested in the problems of artificial intelligence. A particularly important part of this puzzle is the ability to learn. My thesis is about the application of Machine Learning to time ordered problems. In particular, I focused on dealing with hidden context and concept drift . The resulting algorithm, Splice, is designed for classification problems susceptible to changes over time.
