Probably Informative are the web pages of The Edinburgh Machine Learning Group - part of the Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation (ANC), School of Informatics. The group focuses on probabilistic and information theoretic approaches to machine learning problems. There is a significant emphasis on problems in image modelling/interpretation and stochastic processes, as well as an interest in manifold learning, clustering methods and signal analysis. Much of the group's work is applied to problems of scientific inference, including research in areas of astronomy, remote sensing, meteorology, medical imaging, medical signal processing, neuro-informatics and bio-informatics.
The Machine Learning Group has strong associations with other groups within and outwith the School of Informatics. These include links with the Institute of Perception Action and Behaviour, the Centre for Speech Technology Research, the Institute for Communicating and Collaborative Systems, Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland, Microsoft Research, Cambridge, the Division of Psychiatry, Edinburgh, , the Brain Imaging Research Centre, and the Institute for Astronomy, Edinburgh.
The Machine Learning Group has a paper discussion meeting approximately fortnightly. This is called the Probabilistic Inference Group (PIGS). More details can be found on the website. We also have seminars from both local members and international visitors as part of the ANC workshop and seminar series. Finally the Brainstorm Coffee occurs every Wednesday.
Informatics courses taught by members of the Machine Learning Group include Learning from Data, Probabilistic Modelling and Reasoning, Data Mining and Exploration and Machine Learning and Sensorimotor Control
The Machine Learning Group is always interested in hearing from those interested in working or studying with us. For information on how to contact us see the PhD degrees at the Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation and the Vacancy pages.
