Interest Groups at the Alan Turing Institute gather around shared areas of interest in data science and AI. Professor Chris Barnes (UCL, Cell and Developmental Biology) recently joined Dr Thomas Gorochowski (University of Bristol) and Dr Diego Oyarzun (Edinburgh University) in forming the 'Data-centric biological design and engineering' group which will look at issues including evolution and adaptation, unsupervised learning and machine learning.
