Biography

Richard McCreadie is a Lecturer in Information Retrieval and Data Systems at the University of Glasgow, UK. His core research topics include in real-time information retrieval, machine learning, big data stream processing and evaluation methodologies over streaming data. In particular, he specializes in real-time IR technologies to enable users to efficiently and effectively find information in big data streams; the research and development of automatic (assistive) agents to detect events, extract knowledge and summarize information within big data streams; as well as methodologies to evaluate systems that process such streams

Richard received his Ph.D on the topic of News Vertical Search using User Generated Content in 2012 and is currently a senior researcher within the Information, Data and Analytics section in Glasgow. Furthermore, he works with researchers and industry partners around the world to advance the IR field as co-chair of the streaming summarization evaluation initiatives (2014-Present) and 2018 Incident Streams emergency informatics initiative (2018) at the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC).
