Welcome!

Our team’s research spans various theoretical and practical aspects of Machine Learning. We focus on designing and analyzing machine learning algorithms and deep learning techniques. In particular, we work on deep neural network efficiency and robustness, and continual learning methods. Our secondary mission is to explore applications and advances of novel machine learning approaches in real-time problems. Our research is generously supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), University of Maine, MSGC/NASA, UMaine Space Initiative, and Cisco

 

Our project codes are available on our Github!
