Machine Learning Academics

The Machine Learning Department comprises a multidisciplinary team of faculty, staff and students across several academic disciplines. We're dedicated to furthering the scientific understanding of automated learning and to producing the next generation of tools for data analysis and decision-making based on that understanding.

Today's demand for expertise in machine learning far exceeds the supply, and this imbalance will only grow in the coming decade. To help prepare students for these opportunities, we offer four Ph.D. programs; a master's program; and an undergraduate minor, concentration or major. Students can also take classes in the Machine Learning Department without being part of one of its academic programs.
