RESEARCH
Zoubin’s current research interests include statistical machine
learning, Bayesian nonparametrics, scalable inference, deep learning, probabilistic programming, Bayesian optimisation, and automating data science. His Automatic Statistician project aims to automate the exploratory analysis and modelling of data, discovering good models for data and generating a human-interpretable natural language summary of the analysis. He and his group have also worked on automating inference (though probabilistic programming) and on automating the allocation of computational resources.
