Welcome to the Machine Learning Group at Tufts


The Machine Learning Group at Tufts University focuses on core issues of machine learning, as well as real-world applications of machine learning. Please visit our research pages to find out more.


Recent core issues investigated include:

  • Class label noise
  • Active learning
  • Constrained clustering
  • Learning from time series data
  • Multi-task learning with Gaussian Processes
  • Information retrieval
  • Learning from relational data
  • Learning and planning in Markov decision processes

Recent applications (and collaborators) include:

  • Generating maps of global land cover (Geography Department, Boston University)
  • Anomalies and classification of light curves (Center for Astrophysics, Harvard University)
  • Liquification prediction (Civil Engineering, Tufts University)
  • Diagnosis of disease state via saliva (Chemistry Department, Tufts University, Boston University Dental and Medical Schools and many others)
  • Vapor sensing ( Chemistry Department, Tufts University)
  • Medical abstract screening (Sackler School of Medicine, Tufts University)
