Alberto Ruiz
Research
I am interested in Machine Perception and related fields: geometric vision, pattern recognition, high level interpretation, computational learning theory, support vector machines, probabilistic inference, EM algorithm, etc.
I also like functional programming, symbolic computing, logic, physics, math...
I am a member of the PARP research group.

Biography
I obtained the Physics degree (specialty in Computer Science) in 1987 from the Complutense University of Madrid. Then I enjoyed a 9 months scholarship at company INISEL. From 1988 to 1992 I was a PhD student at the Institute for Industrial Automation (IAI, CSIC). In 1992 I joined the Computer Science Department of the University of Murcia, Spain.
