Hi, I’m Nicholas Mamo, and I am a doctoral student in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Malta.
I started this blog because research is rarely accessible. On this blog, I want to share my research and work in a way that everyone can understand it.
My research area is Artificial Intelligence and, more specifically, Topic Detection and Tracking. In other words, I create algorithms that create event timelines.
I have been studying about Artificial Intelligence since 2014, and Topic Detection and Tracking since 2016—from my undergraduate degree to my postgraduate degree and now, my doctoral degree. This blog is where I write about my research in this area and other projects. You can read more about why I started this blog in this post.
