Encyclopedia
Nello Cristianini is a Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bristol
and a current holder of the Royal Society-Wolfson Research Merit Award.
His research contributions encompass the fields of machine learning
, artificial intelligence
and bioinformatics
. Particularly, his work has focused on statistical analysis of learning algorithms, to its application to support vector machines, kernel methods
and other algorithms. Cristianini is the co-author of two widely known books in machine learning, An Introduction to Support Vector Machines and Kernel Methods for Pattern Analysis and a book
in bioinformatics "Introduction to Computational Genomics".
Recent research has focused on the evolution on gene families in mammals, the automatic detection of reporting bias in media content, and the development of a unified framework for pattern analysis algorithms.
University of Bristol
The University of Bristol is a public research university located in Bristol, United Kingdom. One of the so-called "red brick" universities, it received its Royal Charter in 1909, although its predecessor institution, University College, Bristol, had been in existence since 1876.The University is...
