Peace and the mercy of God, and His blessings be upon you.

My interests are in the foundations of computational linguistics, mathematics, and algorithm design. I'm currently working on text mining software at Metrica as a KTP Associate with the University of Hertfordshire.

I few years ago I completed my DPhil at the University of Sussex in the NLCL group under the supervision of David Weir. My thesis, Context-theoretic Semantics for Natural Language is about finding a general framework for representing meaning and syntax in terms of vector spaces, based on the idea that the meaning of a string can be determined by the contexts it occurs in. Formalising this idea mathematically leads us to a model in which the meaning of a string is represented as an element of a lattice-ordered algebra.

I'm also interested in Scrabble.
