ABOUT BRETT DRURY
I am a British / Portuguese national who is currently working on cutting edge NLP and ML techniques to extract value from unstructured data. I have the right to work in the UK, EU and Brazil.I have worked in both the Private Sector and Academia in Portugal, Ireland, Brazil, and the UK. I specialize in Probabilistic Reasoning and NLP. I have however worked with other ML techniques such as variants of Deep Learning in areas such as image classification.The topic of my Ph.D. thesis was text mining applied to stock market prediction, and my Post-Doctoral work was building Bayes Nets from text for the sugar-cane domain. The Bayes Nets were evaluated on the Sao Paulo commodities market. I was also a research fellow on the ROCSAFE H2020 Project (http://rocsafe.eu) at the National University of Ireland Galway. My research work was applied, and therefore has been cited by organizations such as the Bank of England (http://eprints.lse.ac.uk/62548/1/Schonhardt-Bailey_text%20mining%20handbook.pdf) I am also a former holder of a PIPE Grant from FAPESP (https://bv.fapesp.br/en/pesquisador/668348/brett-mylo-drury/), as well as an Innovation Fellow at the Royal Society of Engineering And I am an academic referee for a number of academic journals and a PC member for a number of academic conferences.My Google Scholar Profile can be found here: & hl=en
