Machine learning: the driving force of Artificial Intelligence

Machine Learning has huge potential and Imperial can be at the forefront of it, say experts as a new initiative launches today. Dr Marc Deisenroth, from the Department of Computing at Imperial College London, and colleagues from across the College are launching the Machine Learning Initiative today. Colin Smith caught up with Dr Deisenroth to discover what machine learning is and why it is so important in our daily lives. Industry leaders from companies such as Microsoft and Twitter, academics and students from Imperial and representatives from the UK's major funding bodies, will all be attending. The Initiative will bring together machine learning researchers from across the College and beyond to provide a collaborative environment for learning, teaching, and research in the field.
