Machine Learning @ Top 10 US Universities
  1. Princeton University: Machine Learning Department at Princeton University is using some of the following ML techniques to continue their work on areas such as 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:
    • Non-parametric Bayesian techniques
    • Probabilistic graphical models
    • Support-vector Machines

    Following are some of the projects that they are currently working upon:

  2. Harvard University – Artificial Intelligence Research Group (AIRG): Following are areas of reasearch focused upon by AIRG:
    • Natural Language Processing
      • Computational Linguistics
      • Statistical Language Processing

I have been recently working in the area of Data analytics including Data Science and Machine Learning / Deep Learning. I am also passionate about different technologies including programming languages such as Java/JEE, Javascript, Python, R, Julia, etc, and technologies such as Blockchain, mobile computing, cloud-native technologies, application security, cloud computing platforms, big data, etc. I would love to connect with you on Linkedin. Check out my latest book titled as First Principles Thinking: Building winning products using first principles thinking.
