Ìý	Director andÌýProfessor of Theoretical Neuroscience and Machine Learning maneesh@gatsby.ucl.ac.uk Research Interests My spans work in both single-neuron and population-level neural data modelling, inferential theories of perception and learning in the brain, and related areas of machine learning.Ìý
	Professor of Machine LearningÌý a.gretton@ucl.ac.ukÌý Research Interests ÌýA key component of AIÌýsystems is the capacity to reason about distributions of real-world objects such as images, textÌýor high-dimensional sequences. My addresses two core aspects of this: the ability to learn structured models that generate faithful samples of such real-world entities;Ìýthe ability to reason about and test properties of high-dimensional naturalistic distributions.Ìý

More specifically, my goal is to understand how connectivity and single neuron properties determine the ability of a network to perform computations, and how synaptic learning rules, single neuron properties, and patterns of input determine connectivity.Ìý
	Professor of Machine LearningÌý porbanz@gatsby.ucl.ac.uk Research interests I network and relational data, Bayesian nonparametrics, and exchangeability and symmetry properties. More generally, I am interested in all mathematical aspects of machine learning and pattern recognition.Ìý
	Lecturer a.palmigiano@ucl.ac.uk Research Interests Agostina’s group will leverage tools from statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics to build interpretable models with biological fidelity and explanatory power that facilitate a closed-loop interaction with experimental data at SWC. Her group will investigate i) the computational principles underlying sensory/motor processing and learning ii) how behavioural information (as choice, reward) across the cortex shapes area-specific computations, and iii) how interspecies differences in circuit architecture and dynamical regimes limit/facilitate learning.
	Group Leader in Machine Learning applied to Neuroscience (Jointly with SWC) Ìý a.saxe@ucl.ac.uk Research InterestsÌý We aim to develop a mathematical toolkit suitable for analyzing and describing learning in the brain and mind.Ìý
