UKRI CDT in Accountable, Responsible and Transparent AI
We train the next generation of specialists with expertise in AI, its applications and its implications.
Machine learning
- Learning on data manifolds: semi-supervised learning, spectral clustering, non-linear data embedding, link prediction
- Bayesian inference: Large-scale approximate Bayesian inference, latent variable models
- Learning for computer graphics: Bayesian inference for shape modelling, tracking, sampling, and transfer, machine learning for computational photography, videography, and 3D data analysis
- Sparse Bayesian models (the “relevance vector machine”) and related novel learning techniques
- Probabilistic approaches to tree-based pattern recognition
- Adaptive analysis of multivariate time series
- Methods for intelligent statistical automation
- New perspectives on deep neural networks
- Model-driven data mapping and visualisation techniques
- Reinforcement learning
Autonomous systems and Agents
