Academic and professional career
Nevill-Manning graduated with a BSc in computer science from the University of Canterbury. He received his PhD from the University of Waikato[4] where he was a co-creator of the Weka machine learning suite and the Greenstone digital library software.[5] His doctoral advisor was Ian Witten.[6] In 1994, he invented the sequitur algorithm, which uses data compression to infer the structure of a sequence of symbols.
Craig was invited to join Google at its formation but declined and then joined a little later on. [7]
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 centre on using techniques from machine learning, data compression and computational biology to provide more structured search over information.Шаблон:Citation needed
