Adjunct Professor
School of Engineering and Computer Science

Overview

Peter has been connected to Artificial Intelligence since the 1960s when his father started researching Machine Learning systems. His first degree was in Electrical Engineering from the University of Canterbury (New Zealand); he then went to M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and did a Masters (on a topic in complexity) and a PhD, in Machine Learning (finished in 1984). Since then he has been in Computer Science here at Victoria University of Wellington, first in the Department of Computer Science, then in the merged School of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, and now in the School of Engineering and Computer Science.

He retired in April 2023 but still holds an adjunct position in the School of Engineering and Computer Science

Research Interests

My research interests lie in machine learning, particularly learning from complex structured information.

  • My longstanding interest is in intelligent agents that learn within richly structured worlds, generalise from past experience, and have novel exploratory behaviours.
  • I have done various projects in the area of clustering algorithms, including applications in bioinformatics, web search, and clustering logs of internet attacks.
