In-demand scientist opts for Cambridge AI role Business Weekly Technology News Business news

Dr Hensman (above), who was most recently a lecturer at the University of Lancaster, has more than 35 published academic journal articles to his name, based on his industry-defining research on Gaussian processes. This approach moves away from the use of limited decision trees for AI, which are based on'if X then Y principles', to focusing on the development of self-learning, autonomous agents. These can be applied to a whole variety of problems from autonomous vehicle control, to non-player characters in video games, to smart city simulations. Dr Hensman will be encouraged to continue his academic research while at PROWLER.io – and his findings will support the development of world-leading AI technology. "Until now I've had no interest in departing from full-time academia," said Dr Hensman.
