Welcome to the CLRC

The Computer Learning Research Centre is dedicated to the development of machine learning theory.

Our objectives are:

• Development of machine learning theory, including design of efficient algorithms and analysis of their properties


• Design and implementation of software based on the algorithms developed at the Centre


• Provision of consultancy, advice and seminars to external organizations


• Serving as a springboard for high-quality interdisciplinary research

Recent events:

• The 2010 Workshop on Game-Theoretic Probability and Related Topics was held at CLRC on 21 - 23 June 2010.


• Professor Robert Merton (winner of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Economics) presented the 2010 Kolmogorov Lecture entitled "Observations on the Science of Finance in the Practice of Finance: Past, Present and Future" at 6pm on 23 February, Windsor Building Auditorium. The abstract of the talk can be found here).


• Sad news: on 7 December 2009 Ray J. Solomonoff passed away.


• On 8 October 2009, Glenn Shafer and his colleague Arthur Dempster were made honorary doctors in economics by the University of Economics, Prague. See Professor Shafer's acceptance speech.


• Yuri Gurevich of Microsoft Research gave a talk on "The Church-Turing Thesis: Story and Recent Progress" on 24th March 2009.


• Congratulations to our PhD student Misha Dashevskiy for winning the E.M.Gold award and a prize for the best paper in the 19th International conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory (ALT2008). The title of the paper is "Aggregating Algorithm for a Space of Analytic Functions". The abstract of the paper is here.
