Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence
Biography
Ali Alameer is a Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Salford, holding a Ph.D. in AI from Newcastle University. He specialises in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing, focusing on Large Vision Models (LVMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs). A strong emphasis of his research is on Ethical AI.
Areas of Research
Ethical AI: Dr. Alameer's research in Ethical AI focuses on addressing fairness and transparency in large language models. He leads a team of three Research Associates and a Ph.D. student in this domain. Currently, he is working on a £500k UKRI-funded project to develop an expert legal system using advanced LLMs. He is also developing ethical Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models through a £30k project funded by Evidential Ltd and the Manchester Growth Hub. Previously, he has successfully completed three externally funded projects centered on AI fairness and bias.
Computer Vision: In the field of Computer Vision, Dr. Alameer leads a three-year Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project, fostering collaboration between academia and industry in applied machine vision. His broader research involves creating novel algorithms and models for image and video analysis to solve complex problems, particularly in agriculture, and he supervises two Ph.D. students on this topic.
