Biography
Dr Dalton completed his PhD in 2014 from the University of Massachusetts Amherst at the Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval (CIIR), a leading international research group in search. After completing his PhD, he joined Google Research studying information extraction with the Knowledge Discovery team (led by Kevin Murphy and Evgeniy Gabrilovich). His experience at Google also includes contributing to the launch of Sympton Search and as a developer in the Google Assistant NLU team.
Research interests
My research interests focus on the intersection of natural language understanding and information seeking systems. I study methods for effectively creating and leveraging knowledge resources (such as Knowledge Graphs) for complex tasks. Application areas of interest include: health and biomedical, travel and food, science and engineering, and history.
I lead the Glasgow Representation and Information Learning Lab (GRILL).
