Edit ProfileCareer
He also invented Froogle (now Google Shopping), a product search engine. Prior to joining Google in 2001 as a senior research scientist, he was an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at Rutgers University, and was a post-doctoral fellow in the Biochemistry department at Stanford University. His research interests center on using techniques from machine learning, data compression and computational biology to provide more structured search over information.
In 1994, he invented the Sequitur algorithm, which uses data compression to infer the structure of a sequence of symbols.
Nevill-Manning graduated with a Bachelor of Science in computer science from the University of Canterbury. He received his Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Waikato where he was a co-creator of the Weka machine learning suite and the Greenstone digital library software.
