Richard Turner

My research lies at the interface between computer perception (which builds artificial systems for understanding images, sounds and videos), neuroscience (which tries to understand the brain) and machine-learning (which provides a theoretical framework for learning from data). The goal is to develop systems that solve important problems, drawing inspiration from the brain. For example, figuring [...]

Carl Edward Rasmussen

I have very broad interests in probabilistic inference in machine learning, covering both unsupervised, supervised and reinforcement learning. I’m particularly interested in design and evaluation of non-parametric methods such as Gaussian processes and Dirichlet processes. Exact inference in these models is often intractable, so one needs to resort to approximation methods, such as variational techniques [...]
