Personal profile

Dr David Croft is currently working on approximate co-reference identification systems for digital humanities collections. Specifically he is looking at identifying record links between photohistory collections held in seperate institutions. This is involving a lot of work with Fuzzy Logic, Record Linkage, Short Text Semantic Similarity, Clustering, Term comparision.

David currently involved in some side projects involving Computer Vision, Robot Navigation and Control Systems.
