Dr. John D. King, Dip.I.T., B.I.T. (Q.U.T.), M.I.T. (Q.U.T.) Ph.D. (Q.U.T.)

John recently completed a Doctorate of Philosophy from Q.U.T. where he held the Blueprint Scholarship /Stipend for three years. He also has a Master of Information Technology and a Bachelor of Information Technology.

The following is an abstract of his research "Search engine content analysis (PDF) ":
Little is known about the content of the major search engines. We present an automatic ontology learning method which trains an ontology with world knowledge of hundreds of different subjects in a three-level taxonomy covering all the documents offered in our training set. We then mine this ontology to find important classification rules, and then use these rules to perform an extensive analysis of the content of the largest general purpose Internet search engines in use today. Also, instead of representing documents and collections as a set of terms, we represent them as a set of subjects, leading to a more robust representation of information and a decrease of synonymy.

His supervisors were Associate Professor Yuefeng Li, Professor Peter Bruza, and Dr. Richi Nayak.

John is currently working in the CWiMI Centre at the University of Queensland as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow.

His resume can be downloaded in MS Word format.
