Maneesh Sahani
Director of the Gatsby Unit & Professor of Theoretical Neuroscience and Machine Learning
Research Interests
My research spans work in both single-neuron and population-level neural data modelling, inferential theories of perception and learning in the brain, and related areas of machine learning.
Peter Latham
Professor of Theoretical Neuroscience
Research Interests
My research focuses on understanding how biologically realistic networks carry out computations. More specifically, my goal is to understand how connectivity and single neuron properties determine the ability of a network to perform computations, and how synaptic learning rules, single neuron properties, and patterns of input determine connectivity.
Arthur Gretton
Professor of Machine Learning
Research Interests
A key component of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems is the capacity to reason about distributions of real-world objects such as images, text, or high-dimensional sequences. My research addresses two core aspects of this goal: the ability to learn structured models that generate faithful samples of such real-world entities, and the ability to reason about and test properties of high-dimensional naturalistic distributions.
Peter Orbanz
Professor of Machine Learning
Research interests
I study network and relational data, Bayesian nonparametrics, and exchangeability and symmetry properties. More generally, I am interested in all mathematical aspects of machine learning and pattern recognition.
Andrew Saxe
Group Leader in Machine Learning applied to Neuroscience (Jointly with SWC)
Research Interests
We aim to develop a mathematical toolkit suitable for analyzing and describing learning in the brain and mind.
Ferenc Huszar
Part-time Honorary Lecturer
Research Interests
I study and develop principles for learning from data, with a particular focus on deep/overparametrized models. I’m interested in representation learning, generalization, optimization and probabilistic foundations.
