About

Overview

I am a Reader in the Department of Computer Science, head of the Machine Intelligence and Media Informatics Research Group and a member of the Machine Learning Group, and Senior Tutor for Research.
I work on machine learning and signal processing methods for data analysis with applications in finance, audio, NLP, music, health, security and education. My latest research focuses on creating inductive biases in neural networks for rule-learning, extrapolation, generalisation, and interpretability.

Before I joined City I was a researcher and coordinator of the MUSITECH project at the Research Department of Music and Media Technology at the University of Osnabrück. I hold degrees in Computer Science, Music, and Mathematics and obtained my PhD in Music Technology on the topic of on combining knowledge and machine learning with neuro-fuzzy methods in the automatic analysis of rhythms.

I am an associated member of the Institute of Cognitive Science and the Research Department of Music and Media Technology of the University of Osnabrück, as well as the Intelligent Systems Research Laboratory at the University of Reading.
I am co-author of the educational software Computer Courses in
Music Ear Training
Published by Schott Music, which received the Comenius Medal for
Exemplary Educational Media in 2000 and co-editor of the Osnabrück Series on Music and Computation.
I was a consultant to the
NEUMES project at Harvard University
and I am a member of the
MPEG Ad-Hoc-Group on
Symbolic Music Representation (SMR), working on the integration of SMR into MPEG-4. I was the
principal investigator at City in the music e-learning project
i-Maestro which was supported by the
European Commission (FP6).

I have received funding from the AHRC for the Digital Transformations Project
Digital Music Lab - Analysing Big Music Data (DML),
a joint project with the British Library, Queen Mary University of London,
University College London, and I Like Music.
More recently we started the AHRC Amplification Project on
An Integrated Audio-Symbolic Model of Music Similarity
where we apply the results from the DML. I was also engaged as a co-investigator
in a project funded by Innovate UK (formerly Technology Strategy Board) and EPSRC
on

Advancing Consumer Protection Through Machine Learning: Reducing Harm in Gambling

and the Innovate UK project Raven led by Tom Chen.
