In collaboration with colleagues:

Deep Learning for finding security vulnerabilities in software, a major new GitHub feature. See Code Scanning finds vulnerabilities using machine learning and Leveraging machine learning to find security vulnerabilities.

ML to produce software quality metrics in Semmle's LGTM (acquired by GitHub).

LiveMove motion recognition software for Nintendo and Sony (used in dozens of hit games, including Just Dance).

Real-time pitch recognition technology (with Charu Desodt) for Sony's SingStar franchise.

Most of my work is private. But I've shared some work on my public GitHub page.

I'm developing "∂B nets", which are a new type of neural network, trainable by backpropagation, that "harden" to discrete, boolean-valued functions without loss of accuracy (unlike existing binarisation approaches). The hardened net is compact (1-bit weights) and interpretable. See the GitHub repo db-nets. Draft paper.

As a fun exercise, and when I get the time, I'm developing a C++ implementation of a generic Datalog system. My goal is to maximise the amount of computation that is performed at compile-time. See the GitHub repo datalog-cpp.
