Biography

I, Shameem Ahamed Puthiya Parambath (Sham), am a member of the Essence Research Lab under the research group Information, Data and Analysis (IDA) in the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow working with Dr. Christos Anagnostopoulos and Prof. Roderick Murray-Smith ​

Before joining the University of Glasgow, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Qatar Computing Research Institute, Doha, Qatar. I completed my Bachelors in Computer Science & Engineering, MS in Computing Science, and Ph.D. in Machine Learning from Kerala University (India), Umea University (Sweden), and University of Technology Compiegne (France), respectively.​ I also worked as a software engineer in firms like Directi and Narus Networks, before pursuing my master's degree.


At QCRI, I worked in the areas of recommender systems, Knowledge Graphs and Anomaly Detection. My work on group recommendation and cold-start recommendation were published in AAAI and ECML conferences. My work on quantifying bias in the knowledge graphs was published in UAI. During my Ph.D. thesis, I worked on multi-objective learning algorithms for multi-class/multi-label classification and personalized recommendations, which was published at venues such as NeurIPS and RecSys
