The Centre for Computational Statistics and Machine Learning spans
three departments at University College London,
Computer Science,
Statistical Science, and the
Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit.
The Centre will pioneer an emerging
field that brings together statistics, the recent extensive advances
in theoretically well-founded machine learning, and links with a broad
range of application areas drawn from across the college, including
neuroscience, astrophysics, biological sciences, complexity science,
etc. There is a deliberate intention to maintain and cultivate a plurality
of approaches within the centre including Bayesian, frequentist, on-line, statistical, etc.
UCL is the scientific coordinator of the PASCAL Network of Excellence involving more than 50 sites across Europe and beyond.
There is funding set aside to assist students undertaking data
analysis for other departments from across the College. This will be
allocated in Sandpits/Clinics when potential users will present their problems
and a consensus reached on the most appropriate approach to be applied.
Will you be taking up the GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2008
(GREAT08) PASCAL Challenge? The GREAT08 Challenge is an image analysis competition for gravitational lensing and cosmology, aimed at experts in statistical problems (including non-astronomers).
Mateusz has been awarded an MSc studentship from the CSML Centre.
After studying Mathematics and Finance in Poland and then working in financial markets in London, Mateusz has come to UCL to study on our new MSc course in Computational Statistics and Machine Learning.
