Research
I’m a post-doctoral Research Fellow in the Research School of Information Sciences and Engineering at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia. I work with other members of the Artificial Intelligence group. As of July 2009, I also work part-time with NICTA’s Statistical Machine Learning research group.
Publications
I have published papers on topics in learning theory, transfer learning, and inductive logic programming (ILP). A summary of my recent work can be found in Information, Divergence and Risk for Binary Experiments.
Blog
Since September 2007 I have kept a blog on machine learning and statistical inference called inductio ex machina.
Contact
I can be reached at work by phone on (+61) 2 6267 6297, by email at mark.reid@anu.edu.au. My office is on the 3rd floor of the NICTA Canberra Research Lab (Map).

Activities
Currently I am local organiser for the upcoming ALT 2010 as well as a member of its Program Committee. I have reviewed for journals (JMLR, PAMI and Trans. on Info. Theory), conferences (NIPS, ICML, COLT, and UAI), and have also set up a discussion site for ICML 2008, 2009 and 2010 and presented at the 2009 Machine Learning Summer School.
