Machine learning or ML is the study of computer algorithms that automatically improves with time by using Data. Machine learning algorithms create models from sample data commonly known as training data in order to output predictions or sometimes make decisions without supervision or being explicitly programmed to do so. Dr. Ricardo Silva is a professor in the Department of Statistical Science and Adjunct Faculty of the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University College London (UCL). Professor Ricardo got his PhD from the the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University. He then spent two years at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit as a Senior Research Fellow, and one year as a postdoctoral researcher at the Statistical Laboratory in Cambridge.
