A pioneering researcher of bias in machine learning has joined the University of M

The two UMIACS faculty members are active in three of the 17 projects recently chosen to split $3 million in seed funding from the University of Maryland Strategic Partnership: MPowering the State.

In a paper published in the journal Physical Review X, QuICS Fellow Alexey Gorshkov and postdoctoral scholar Luis Pedro García-Pintos provide a new perspective for investigating quantum changes.

In addition to paper presentations and poster sessions, QuICS researchers will help lead two of the three highly competitive plenary talks at this year’s conference.

First-year doctoral student Elizabeth Bennewitz is one of 45 finalists with a chance of receiving up to $250,000 in support from the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation.

The funding will support his work on the generation and use of synthetic datasets to improve the accuracy of machine learning methods.

The two-year fellowships offer an opportunity to work closely with MC2 faculty and graduate students in multiple areas of cybersecurity and privacy.

Machine Learning Researchers’ Algorithm Could Help Increase Global Supply of a Precious Resource

Nicole Yunger Halpern brings a vast intellectual curiosity to physics, from tackling abstract theory to collaborating with experimentalists, all the while drawing distinct connections between diverse disciplines of physics.

The grant will support his efforts to develop a comprehensive and fundamental understanding of robust machine learning algorithms against both natural and adversarial threats.
