Machine Learning
Bareinboim will develop a new framework that will lead to more efficient and robust decision-making; Kroer will develop new algorithms based on game theory to solve real-world problems with multiple actors.
David Blei and Chong Wang were named winners of the Test of Time Award for Research at the 27th SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining. The duo was recognized for their 2011 paper, "Collaborative topic modeling for recommending scientific articles."
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.
