You will be taught by world-leading academics. Research in Machine Learning at Royal Holloway started in the 1990Õs, at which time V. Vapnik and A. Chervonenkis (the inventors of Support Vector Machines) were both professors here. We have developed both fundamental theory and practical algorithms that have fed into the analytics methods and techniques that are in use today. Current researchers include Alexander Gammerman and Vladimir Vovk Ð the inventors of conformal predictors theory, a radically new method of estimating the accuracy of each prediction as it is made Ð and Chris Watkins, originator of reinforcement learning who developed ÔQ-learningÕ, a work that is fundamental to planning and control.
