My Journey into Artificial Intelligence

THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD

In 2011 I received my PhD in AI on the topic of Natural Language Interfaces for Querying Ontologies from the University of Sheffield. It was here that I developed the FREyA system which scored as the best question answering system against the DBpedia knowledge base (structured Wikipedia) in the QALD-1 Challenge 2011.

I recently returned to give a talk on my journey into Artificial Intelligence, and then becoming an entrepreneur soon after I left the University. I shared some of the challenges I faced, as well as lessons learned.
