Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence dramatically impact our lives. But ML performance depends on the systems that implement it. Systems research and ML research are symbiotic. Students and staff joining the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Machine Learning Systems in the University of Edinburgh will collaborate and research on the cutting edge across the full ml-systems stack. 

We are about machine learning methods that work. We build the right methods and the right ways to deploy things to make ML work for real problems.

The CDT in Machine Learning Systems is funded by the EPSRC to recruit and train 5 intakes of about 12 PhD students between 2024 and 2028. The programme is based in the School of Informatics but includes supervisors from other schools including Engineering and Mathematics. It recruits students from a wide range of backgrounds.
