Anna Jordanous
I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Computing, at the Medway campus of the University of Kent. I am a member of the Computational Intelligence and Data Science research groups. My research areas include computational creativity and its evaluation, music informatics, natural language processing, digital humanities, knowledge modelling, information retrieval, machine learning, cognitive modelling and the Semantic Web/Linked Data. Primarily I work with computational creativity - the modelling, simulation or replication of creative activities and behaviour using computational means - with a focus on the question of how to evaluate claims of computer software being creative. As well as writing creative software to improvise music, I have contributed a highly-cited standardised procedure for evaluating creative systems. I also use natural language processing and music information retrieval in my work.
