Suzanne Little (Alumni) 
Research Associate
I started at KMi in July of 2008 as a postdoctoral research fellow on the PHAROS project. My research was in developing tools and approaches to improve the process of analysing, annotating and storing both images and video to improve the end-user's search experience.
Keys: multimedia semantics (definition and discovery), (semi-)automatic image annotation, semantic web applications, human-computer interaction and eScience applications
