Current Projects
The research group excels at knowledge exchange activities and have recently established two Knowledge Transfer Projects (KTPs) with Innovate UK. Our KTP with Filisia Interfaces Ltd. aims to provide thousands of people with SEND with data-driven assessment tools to improve treatment, while our KTP with Mobilise Care Ltd. aims to deliver an innovative, artificial intelligence-based tool that provides personalised, anticipatory support to unpaid carers. You can read more about our current research projects and KTPs at the bottom of this page.
Community-based Projects
The research group is keen to participate in projects originating from our neighbouring communities in North London. Examples of recent projects include:
- Identifying the quantitative scale of employment gap among different groups of BAME residents of London Borough of Haringey, 2023.
- Differentiating uptake of employability services in the London Borough of Islington by identifying sub-categories of ethnicity through data analysis, 2022.
- Digitisation of patients’ records in the Injury and Rehabilitation Clinic, part of the London Met Lab: Empowering London Health strand, supporting the use of the patients’ data to which AI can be applied to improve clinic services. 2022-2024.
- London house price prediction using machine learning, ongoing.
Completed Projects
The research group was involved with several European partners on the EU SPIRIT project. The project developed a sense-making computational framework for resolving identity using extracted web entities and existing policing data. The London Met team led by Emeritus Professor Hassan Kazemian contributed to work on research methodologies for identity resolution on policing datasets and extracted data from web crawlers and natural linguistic programming (NLP). The SPIRIT project involved 17 research organisations and police force from nine countries across Europe including Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Serbia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Grants
In recent years the group has attracted approximately £11 million in research grants from Horizon 2020, Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) under the Science Research Investment Fund (SRIF), the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), The Royal Society, Emerald Funds, Development Fund, LDA, Knowledge Connect and 16 Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP). Some recent grants include:
- British Council Going Global Partnership: TNE Exploratory Grant.
- EU Horizon 2020 Scalable Privacy Preserving Intelligence Analysis for Resolving Identities (SPIRIT).
- An Emerald standard grant to develop an intelligent graphical user interface software suite that will predict and analyse membrane protein classifying into Alpha helix and Beta barrel for commercialisation purposes.
- EPSRC grant: A Fuzzy Approach to Video Transmission over Bluetooth. The overall aim of the project is concerned with transmission of digital video signal over Bluetooth wireless.
- Innovate UK Project – SYCAMORE: Vulnerability Analysis and Risk Assessment of Cyber Security Policies.
- Several KTPs with companies such as eConnect Cars, LifelineIT, Underscore Ltd., Ask Electronics Ltd., and Rankhour Ltd.
