The Ph.D. Program in Machine Learning is for students who are interested in research in Machine Learning and Computational Statistics. The program is operated jointly by faculty in the School of Computer Science and Department of Statistics.

Joint Ph.D. Program in Statistics & Machine Learning

This PhD program differs from the Machine Learning PhD program in that it places significantly more emphasis on preparation in statistical theory and methology. Similarly, this program differs from the Statistics PhD program in its emphasis on machine learning and computer science. The Joint Ph.D. Program in Machine Learning and Statistics is a new program aimed at preparing students for academic careers in both CS and Statistics departments at top universities.
