Machine Learning
Machine learning and computational perception research at Princeton is focused on the theoretical foundations of machine learning, the experimental study of machine learning algorithms, and the interdisciplinary application of machine learning to other domains, such as biology and information retrieval. Some of the techniques that we are studying include boosting, probabilistic graphical models, support-vector machines, and nonparametric Bayesian techniques. We are especially interested in learning from large and complex data sets. Example applications include habitat modeling of species distributions, topic models of large collections of scientific articles, classification of brain images, protein function classification, and extensions of the Wordnet semantic network.
