Welcome to Brian Harrington's Personal and Academic Homepage. I am an Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream in the Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, University of Toronto Scarborough. Prior to coming to the University of Toronto, I was a research scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee working with Professor Hong Yu on the application of semantic computing and large scale information extraction to medical informatics. Until 2011, I held a Research and Tutorial Fellowship in Computer Science at Keble College, Oxford and lecture in the Oxford University Department of Computer Science. In 2009, I completed my Doctorate in Computer Science at the Oxford University Department of Computer Science (then named the Computing Laboratory) under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Clark. I am also a member of St. Cross College, and a member of the Oxford Computational Linguistics Group. My research interests are in Knowledge Extraction and Representation in Semantic Networks. In particular my research focuses on the development of the ASKNet system.
