PhD Thesis

I was awarded a Ph.D. (computer science) from the National University of Ireland in 2015. My thesis was entitled "Investigating the Use of Distributional Semantic Models for Co-Hyponym Identification in Special Corpora". This research was financially supported by a scholarship from the Science Foundation Ireland. Chapters of the thesis are listed and can be downloaded below.
