Research Interests
Dr Garibaldi's main research interest is in
the modelling of human decision making,
primarily in the context of medical applications.
His work to date has concentrated on utilising fuzzy logic
to model the imprecision and uncertainty inherent
in medical knowledge representation and decision making.
This has been applied in areas such as
the assessment of immediate neonatal outcome,
the detection of pre-cancerous changes in cells through analysis of FTIR spectra,
and the assessment of complex multi-modal datasets in, for example,
breast cancer prognosis and early detection of Alzheimer's disease.
A particular interest is in the transfer of medical intelligent systems
into clinical use and this has led to the study of methods of evaluating
intelligent systems and mechanisms for their implementation.
Dr Garibaldi also has an interest in
optimisation techniques such as simulated annealing and genetic algorithms,
particularly when applied to the optimisation of decision making models,
and in the study of adaptive and time-varying behaviour.
