All About Scott

My name is Scott Nowson, and I'm the Senior Research Scientist at Appen Butler Hill in Sydney, Australia. ABH is a world leader in providing linguistic technology solutions. My role within the company is multi-faceted:

  • exploring language technology and data-driven solutions
  • leading the research and development program, ensuring internal accountability and reporting
  • developing process framework and supporting tools and documentation for linguistic QA projects
  • expert scientific and technological consulting for the Business Development and Executive teams

I also serve on the Executive committee of ALTA - the Australasian Language Technology Association.

I was awarded a Ph.D. in Informatics from the University of Edinburgh in 2006. I completed my thesis under the supervision of Professor Jon Oberlander. This followed my Masters in Cognitive Science & Natural Language, and my Bachelors in Artificial Intelligence, both also from the University of Edinburgh.
