Machine Learning Research

Machine learning researchers working at MBZUAI investigate the development of algorithms which can improve automated cognition, perception, and action with experience by observations.

Our reseachers focus on both fundamental and applied research in machine learning. This can be used for many enterprise applications (such as business intelligence and analytics), effective web search, robotics, smart cities, and understanding of the human genome.

Our students, supervised by our world-class faculty, get unique hands-on experience by developing and evaluating algorithms on complex real datasets.

The university offers Ph.D. and master's degrees in machine learning with exceptionally advanced courses and outcomes.

Chair's message

The Machine Learning (ML) Department at MBZUAI is dedicated to imparting a world-class education in ML to our students. From foundational principles to advanced applications, our research-intensive education model will provide our students theoretical concepts to test under supervision from senior AI researchers in the field as they tackle real-world problems and produce meaningful results.

It is the task of the ML Department to engage in ML research by exposing our expert faculty, research staff, and students to problems faced by industry partners, and sponsored research. We leverage these relationships to ensure all researchers have access to the latest technology, emerging problems, and solutions. One of our main goals is creating disruptive solutions and technologies, powered by AI, that unlock the secrets of science across all areas.
