Machine Learning (ML)

Working Group leader: Fuchang (Frank) Gao and Audrey Fu

Group members: Audrey Fu, Min Xian, Aleksandar Vakanski, Linh Nguyen, Boyu Zhang, Esteban Hernandez Vargas

Originated: August 2018

Description:

This group studies various machine learning methods/models and their application with two primary goals:

  1. Bring together researchers on machine learning and discuss the most recent models/algorithms/applications.
  2. To facilitate research collaboration among participants from different disciplines.

Dr. Gao states, “It is important that CMCI continue to support this kind of working group which facilitates the collaboration among researchers from different disciplines. It also creates a learning and research atmosphere of data science on campus.”
