Publications

We do research in both theoretical machine learning, as well as applications of machine learning in various domains, including medical, astronomy, autonomous driving, and more.

Recent publications:
12/2021: "On Pathologies in KL-Regularized Reinforcement Learning from Expert Demonstrations" (Tim G. J. Rudner, Cong Lu, Michael A. Osborne, Yarin Gal, Yee Whye Teh).
12/2021: "Outcome-Driven Reinforcement Learning via Variational Inference" (Tim G. J. Rudner, Vitchyr H. Pong, Rowan McAllister, Yarin Gal, Sergey Levine).
12/2021: "Benchmarking Bayesian Deep Learning on Diabetic Retinopathy Detection Tasks" (Neil Band, Tim G. J. Rudner, Qixuan Feng, Angelos Filos, Zachary Nado, Michael W. Dusenberry, Ghassen Jerfel, Dustin Tran, Yarin Gal).

Reproducibility and Code

One of our lab's missions is to contribute to the reproducibility effort. Here we provide code for our own research, as well as reproductions of works by others (e.g. ones we implemented as baselines as part of our own research).

Recent code release:
11/2021: Disease variant prediction with deep generative models of evolutionary data (Pascal Notin).
07/2020: OATomobile: A research framework for autonomous driving (Angelos Filos, Panagiotis Tigas).
07/2020: Slurm for Machine Learning (Joost van Amersfoort).

Group Members

We are researchers coming from varied backgrounds, including Computer Science, Maths & Stats, Engineering, and Physics.

We come from academia (Oxford, Cambridge, MILA, Manchester, U of Amsterdam, U of Toronto, U of Cape Town, Yale, and others) and industry (Google, DeepMind, Twitter, Qualcomm, and startups).

We include 5 Rhodes Scholars, 3 Clarendon Scholars, 3 DeepMind Scholars, one cancer research UK Scholar, with our students funded by many additional sources (AIMS CDT, Cyber CDT, industry, and more). If you'd like to join us take a look here.
