Cécile Paris: What do I do? 

I lead the research in Information Delivery R&D Group at the CSIRO ICT Centre. Our research is concerned with the effective delivery of information, cutting through information overload to deliver information when and where it is needed in a readily understood format, and providing users with appropriate ways to engage with information.

Our activities include:

• Developing intelligent mechanisms to process natural language (e.g., synthesise or summarise information);
• Developing multimodal interfaces;
• Investigating mechanisms for coherent, tailored information delivery;
• Developing mechanisms to allow users to engage with information in the most appropriate manner;
• Assessing the impact of tailored delivery.

In all these activities, we:

• conduct research into methodologies and tools,
• design and develop prototypes when appropriate, 
• and provide consultation services to industry.

See our web page! We are part of the Information Engineering Research Laboratory, which is concerned with developing new tools, methods, architectures and products that allow people to effectively manage, query, analyse and refine information from many sources, and to navigate and deliver information that improves decision-making anywhere, anytime.
