A multi-objective study using lexicon-based machine learning methods. Different forms of data normalization and representation were investigated, and TweetNLP features, which had not been used in this domain before, were evaluated to be highly useful. Our best models outperform 11 out of 15 state-of-the-art models in recent literature. Currently working with research group towards publication.

Research on methods to semantically group user intent in search engine queries, using the semantic web. For instance, the search "hotels in Hawaii" would map the intent (finding out about) "hotels in" to the class <place>. We can then find out what users most often want to do when searching for places, for example. This work was awarded [http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/computer_science_news/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D{{=}}1144&cHash{{=}}4617ee2bfc0eb070cd6a367203945ace best undergraduate research project] in our year.

A 2-week experiment in music synthesis and representation using HTML5-based technologies and an exercise in UI design. The original intention was to let people synthesize music quickly with little to no musical knowledge required - and then transform their creation into a personalized rhythm game. Progress is currently halted due to UI scaling performance issues.
