Machine Learning
Machine learning is a branch of computer science that develops algorithms to help us make sense of data. Increasingly, these algorithms are finding applications in systems that need to make predictions based on uncertain or incomplete information.
Our research is both theoretical and applied. We aim to understand the theoretical foundations of how machines learn, their guarantees and limitations, and the relationship between different approaches to learning. Our work is applied to data-rich areas such as social networking, understanding and interpreting images and natural language, biomedical applications, and economic modelling.
We conduct independent research as well as collaborative investigations with other academic and industry groups from Australia and overseas. Highlights of our work include: understanding images and analysing large amounts of social media content to reveal laws of community behaviour; developing theory of learning objectives and their relationship to optimisation algorithms; and discovering new methods to understand complex patterns in static and time series data.
We are advancing machine learning technologies to help people and organisations make better decisions.
