About
Turing AI Fellow and Professor in Data Science and AI at the Department of Engineering Mathematics, University of Bristol. My research interests lie around the study of the foundations of machine learning and the way machine learning systems and humans interact and collaborate in diverse domains including healthcare, vision, climate science, music information retrieval and more.
Short bio. After working as lead data scientist developing large-scale recommender systems in industry, in 2014 I moved to IPL, Universitat de Valencia, where I was a Research Fellow working with Prof Gustau Camps-Valls. Before, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Intelligent Systems Laboratory, University of Bristol, working with Prof Tijl de Bie. I completed my PhD in Machine Learning in 2011, under the supervision of Prof Jesus Cid-Sueiro.

Turing AI Fellowship: Interactive Annotations in AI
My Turing AI fellowship focuses on human-centric machine learning. In the team, we explore new extended forms of supervision and interaction between AI systems and humans to build trust and accountability while making the learning process more efficient. In particular, we develop methods for humans to provide informative and actionable feedback in order to shape the behaviour of AI systems, allowing humans in return to fully understand and measure the effect of their contribution. The fellowship caters for data and AI practitioners, domain experts and end-users across multiple fields, including health, IT, engineering and social media. For example, novel tools for adapting decision support systems through rich annotations that accurately reflect their needs and constraints are co-created with clinicians in intensive care units across the UK, changing the mindset from the current practice of clinicians being the ones that adjust to the way that AI systems work.
