Machine Learning and Optimisation
Machine Learning is revolutionising the world. It is difficult to think of a technology that has progressed so rapidly, in terms of real-world impact. Our group is interested in new theory, metholodogies, and cross-discipline scientific impact, as well as consumer-driven applications.
- Dr Jon Shapiro (Group lead): reinforcement learning, game theory, Bayesian methods.
- Prof Gavin Brown: information theoretic methods, feature selection, deep learning, applications in health.
- Dr Ke Chen: deep learning, vision and speech representations, zero-shot learning, game AI.
- Dr Tingting Mu: representation and metric learning, relational data analysis, NLP/vision.
- Dr Xiaojun Zeng: Big Data analytics, deep learning, fuzzy systems, applications in finance, energy, and health.
- Prof Ross King: automation of science, inductive logic programming.
