Machine Learning

Researchers from the department presented machine learning and artificial intelligence research at the thirty-fifth Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2022).

13 papers from CS researchers were accepted to ICML 2021.

Blei is recognized for his groundbreaking work in machine learning, in particular his field-defining contributions in the areas of topic models and stochastic variational inference.
About
The group does research on foundational aspects of machine learning — including causal inference, probabilistic modeling, and sequential decision making — as well as on applications in computational biology, computer vision, natural language and spoken language processing, and robotics.
It is part of a broader machine learning community at Columbia that spans multiple departments, schools, and institutes. Activities include seminars on statistical machine learning, several student-led reading groups and social hours, and participation in local events such as the New York Academy of Sciences Machine Learning Symposium.
