Opportunities for Projects: PhD, MSc and Undergraduate
I would welcome additional MSc and PhD students (from January 2010 in
the MSc case). I can offer numerous types
of project, mainly in various areas of Artificial Intelligence.
I will not be available for undergraduate projects until the 2010/11
academic year.
Research
My research is within Artificial Intelligence and has the following main aspects:
- understanding metaphorical utterances
- representing and reasoning about mental states of agents
The work mainly uses symbolic AI techniques.
See the separate ATT-Meta project page for a description.
I have been building a databank of
examples of metaphors of mind in real text and speech.
This databank is a product of the ATT-Meta project.
I am currently advertising a three-year post, with application deadline
16th June 2010. It is funded by a grant from the Leverhulme Trust.
