Mark Stevenson

I am a Senior Lecturer in Sheffield University's Department of Computer Science where I am a member of the Natural Language Processing group.

The aim of my research is the development of systems to extract knowledge from text and assist users in accessing this information.

I have previously worked in various commercial and academic organisations including Reuters Ltd. (where I was involved in the production and dissemination of RCV1), Stanford University's Center for the Study of Language and Information and Adastal Park (British Telecom's research lab).
