She is a co-director of the Centre of Machine Learning for Social Good, and the Advanced Machine Learning and Data Analytics Research (MARS) Lab at Auckland.
Academic career
Koh earned a Bachelor of Science with Honours and a Master of Software Engineering at the University of Malaya.[1] She then completed a PhD titled Generating sporadic association rules at the University of Otago in 2007.[2] Koh joined the faculty of the University of Auckland in 2010, rising to full professor.[1][3] As of 2024, she is director of the Centre of Machine Learning for Social Good at Auckland, alongside Gillian Dobbie and Daniel Wilson, and is director of the Master of AI course at the university.[4][5] Koh also co-directs the Advanced Machine Learning and Data Analytics Research (MARS) Lab.[6]
Koh's research covers machine learning and artificial intelligence. She is especially interested in designing machine learning algorithms for data streams, and has led research using AI systems to identify individual stoats for pest population research.[7][3] In 2018 she was awarded a Marsden grant for a research project "An Adaptive Predictive System for Life-long Learning on Data Streams", and has been part of three MBIE projects.[8][1]
Koh was a finalist in the AI in Climate section of the Women in AI Australia and New Zealand Awards in 2022.[9] She was a 2023 Fellow at the United States National Science Foundation-funded Convergence Research (CORE) Institute.[10] Koh has chaired a number of sessions at international conferences on data mining.[10]
