Machine learning uses algorithms to build analytical models, helping computers “learn” from data. It can now be applied to huge quantities of data to create exciting new applications. Researchers at WID are developing new methodology and theory for extracting useful information from data which may be noisy or high-dimensional, contain missing elements, or come from a variety of different sensors or streaming input.
Machine learning at WID plays a key role in problems as diverse as understanding the immune system, finding the funniest cartoon captions, and developing driverless cars.
Machine learning is an important component of WID’s Data Science Hub.
