- The first study to show that agents can act and perform like human searchers in an exhaustive empirical comparison with 48 humum participants. This work has serious implications in how content and implicit signals are interpreted and whether they can be trusted (bot or not). This work led two PhD Studentships: an EPSRC iCase PhD with BAE (EP/S513908/1,2019-2022) and an industrially funded PhD by Thales (2018-2021) on Agent-Human collaboration in complex information environments. The methods developed in this work are now being used in our EPRSC project on cumulative revelations in personal data (EP/R033854/1,2019-2022).
