Matthew Rowe (Alumni) 
Research Associate
I joined KMi in Sept 2010 after studying for a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Sheffield. My research interest is largely concerned with the Semantic Web and how information across the Web can be represented in a common, machine-readable format. My other research interests include disambiguation, the Social Web, machine learning and identity.
Keys: Semantic Web, Social Web, Machine Learning
