Goksu Yamac Goksu works under the supervision of Carol O’Sullivan and his research focuses on improving AR/VR experiences through the perceptual evaluation of human motion. He explores human motion and interactions with the virtual world to understand how more realistic and more efficient experiences can be developed for AR/VR platforms. This entails many sub-problems from developing task-specific action detection models to developing full-body motion synthesis models, and consequently evaluating these models perceptually through user studies.
Carol O'Toole Dr Carol O’Toole works in the Research Services team, working as the Research Integration Co-ordinator. This role involves working with researchers and academics from and across all Strands and from all of the ADAPT member institutions.
Ali Karaali I have been working in Trinity College Dublin (TCD) as a research fellow for 3+ years, and conducting research on machine learning, mostly focusing on deep learning. I hold a PhD degree in computer science and have experience in various collaborative machine learning research projects as a researcher and/or co-advisor. I have had a deep enthusiasm for machine learning, whereby we train computer models using representative data to perform human-level evaluation instead of programming them explicitly for a given task. I have pursued this enthusiasm for over a decade, most often for the development of visual-related technologies, but also in other applications such as audio an/or multi model audio-visual technologies.
Lauren Cassidy Lauren is doing a research masters in Natural Language Processing with a focus on developing technology and resources for for user generated content in Irish.
Alberto Poncelas Alberto is a postdoctoral researcher at ADAPT Centre. His research interests include Machine Translation and NLP. Currently he investigates the indirect translation in NMT. He hold a PhD in Machine Translation from Dublin City University and a M.Sc. in Machine Learning from the University of the Basque Country. He has also worked as a Software and Big Data Engineer.
Albert Navarro Gallinad Albert Navarro Gallinad is a PhD student based at the ADAPT centre (TCD) and a Early Stage Researcher in the HELICAL project (MSCA-ITN). His principal research interests lie in the data aspects (suitability, access and retrieval) to support research in the environmental effects on human health. He is designing a series of steps to help health data researchers explore environmental data to understand and support rare chronic disease research..
David Woods David is a PhD student with ADAPT at Trinity College Dublin under Dr Tim Fernando and Dr Carl Vogel. His current research revolves around developing methods for classifying and reasoning about events, in the context of intelligent systems. His interests are in using NLP and Computational Linguistics to improve AI-human interactions.
