Research Interests
I work mainly in theoretical areas related to the foundations of neural
computing, error-correcting codes and cryptography using statistical
and statistical mechanics techniques. Current projects include:
- on-line learning from restricted training sets
- support vector machines
- parity-check error-correcting codes
- public-key cryptography
Brief Biography
I obtained a BA in Physics and a BSc in Electrical Engineering at the
Technion, Haifa, Israel and later on an MSc in Physics (relativistic
field theory) and a PhD in Electrical Engineering (neural networks) at
the Tel-Aviv University. In 1992 I joined the neural networks
group in the physics department at Edinburgh University first as a
postdoc and later on as a lecturer, working mainly on theoretical
issues. In 1995 I joined the Neural Computing Research Group at
Aston as a lecturer and was promoted later on to a reader (1997)
and subsequently to a professor (1999).
