Research Centres
AMLTN: Advanced Machine Learning Training Network
We aim to build a research training program in machine learning with value-added training opportunities beyond what traditional computer science programs provide, and linking students to a global network of world-leading researchers and institutions in the field. Our long-term goal is to support the growing digital tech ecosystems in western Canada and beyond.
CAIDA: Centre for Artificial Intelligence Decision-making & Action
CAIDA is UBC's research hub for artificial intelligence, belonging to the Institute for Computing, Information and Cognitive Systems (ICICS). The expertise of its nearly 100 researchers, who span many academic units, ranges from theoretical to applied, enabled by technologies like machine learning and automated reasoning.
MILD: Mathematics of Information, Learning and Data
MILD is a cross-departmental group working on rigorous mathematics related to machine learning and data. We aim to add theoretical foundations currently lacking in this domain across topics like differential privacy, algorithm design, information theory, learning theory, probability theory and mathematical statistics.
DSI: Data Science Institute
The institute spans the Faculty of Science, equipping researchers and external partners in the data science community with the approaches, tools and expertise they need to fully leverage the potential of big data.
Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences
PIMS is a consortium of 10 universities promoting research in and the application of the mathematical sciences in western Canada and the Pacific Northwest.
