Grant: Canada Research Chairs
The University of British Columbia
$100,000.00
Large-Scale Machine Learning
FY 2024-25
Summary
I work in the field of machine learning, which studies using computers to
automatically detect patterns in data and to use these patterns to make predictions or
help make decisions. Machine learning is one of the key tools we use to make sense of
the enormous amounts of data we record. It is used in everyday tasks for e-mail spam
filtering, product recommendations, and speech recognition. My research has potential applications in a huge variety of areas like ecological modeling, finding chemical structures, economic forecasting, and so on.
