Machine learning is one of my core research areas here at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland. I am particularly interested in machine learning and deep learning for recommender-systems as well as automated machine learning (AutoML), meta-learning for algorithm selection, machine-learning evaluation, curriculum learning, and Neural Turing Machines. I teach the Machine Learning module with around 200 students and I am the director of the Intelligent Systems Strand at the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. For more details on my work about machine learning read the blog posts below or have a look at the menu above. I am also open to industry collaborations and my group often has open positions for PhDs in machine learning. You find our main website at http://machine-learning.ie/ and the page you are currently looking at, at http://dublin.machine-learning.ie.

http://aics2019.datascienceinstitute.ie/papers/aics_27.pdf Abstract. Fantasy Premier League (FPL) performance predictors tend to base their algorithms purely on historical statistical data. The main problems with this approach is that external factors such as injuries, managerial decisions and other tournament match statistics can never be factored into the final predictions. In this paper, we Read more…
