Teaching 2020-2021:
- CA377 Programming Fundamentals Project (Semester 1)
- CA278 Programming Fundamentals III (Semester 2)
- CA4023 Natural Language Technologies (Semester 2)
Final Year Project and M.Sc. Dissertation Supervision 2020-2021:
I am interested in supervising projects in the area of Natural Language Processing. Here are some ideas:
- Story Generation: can neural nets generate believable stories?
- Web app development: building an interactive website to showcase the research on Irish Language Technologies done by researchers in DCU's School of Computing (suitable for CA students who like front-end development)
- Aspect-based sentiment analysis of product reviews
- Explainable AI: how to explain and visualise the decisions of a deep neural net?
- Machine Reading Comprehension: can a neural net understand and answer questions about a text?
