Cavendish Laboratory, CambridgeThe Inference Group.David MacKay's group works on machine learning and information theory. Current projects involve neural networks, automated Go playing, the design of record-breaking error-correcting codes and quantum error-correcting codes, and the construction of human-computer interfaces that make use of adaptive language models.
We enjoy collaborations with Cambridge Centre for Energy Studies, the Computational and Biological Learning Lab, CUED, TCM, Cavendish Astrophysics, Microsoft Research, and the Rainbow group. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Group meetingsThe Machine Learning group at CUED and the Inference Group at the Cavendish Laboratory hold joint weekly group meetings, usually on Wednesdays at 2pm (but sometimes at other times), and alternating venues between Engineering and the Physics department. To make sure that you get automated emails about all these joint group meetings, please visit talks.cam and click on "Send you e-mail reminders".

How our talks listings are generatedOur talks listings (on for example our home page) are generated automatically by a talks-listing service created by Phil Cowans, in collaboration with Alan Blackwell, Duncan Simpson, and David MacKay, with support from Cambridge University Research Exchange (CURE). To get the content included, all that I need to put in the webpage is this <script language="javascript" src="http://talks.cam.ac.uk/talks/external/embed_feed.php?id=1"></script> plus, to get the `look' delivered too, I add the following rules to my style sheet:
.talklist_date{ background-color: #dddddd; font-weight: bold; }
.talklist_header{ font-weight: bold; }
.talklist_entry{ }
.talklist_block{ clear: right; }
.talklist_block_small{ font-size: 0.8em; }
.talklist_date_small{ background-color: #dddddd; font-weight: bold; }
.talklist_header_small{ font-weight: bold; }
The content of our series database is managed by our talk series organizer through a nice web interface. To get the content in the smaller box on the group home page, I used: <script language="javascript" src="http://talks.cam.ac.uk/talks/external/embed_feed.php?id=30&suffix=small"></script> Alternatively you can use this style sheet
.talklist_date{ border-top-style: dashed; border-bottom-style: dashed;
border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-width: 1px;
border-color: #cccccc; margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-left:
16px; }
.talklist_week{ border-top-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid;
border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-width: 2px;
border-color: #cccccc; margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; font-weight:
bold; }
.talklist_header{ font-weight: bold; }
.talklist_speaker{ font-style: italic; }
.talklist_entry{ margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 32px; }
which will make it look like
this.
Here is Mike Roses' style-sheet cocktail:
