The Oxford statistical machine learning group is engaged in developing machine learning techniques for analysing data that are scalable, flexible and robust. The group has particular strengths in Bayesian and probabilistic methods, kernel methods and deep learning, with applications to network analysis, recommender systems, text processing, spatio-temporal modelling, genetics and genomics.
