Program details

Overview

The Master of Science in Computing Science with a specialization in Statistical Machine Learning at the University of Alberta is a thesis-based graduate degree offered by the Department of Computing Science. It is one of three MSc options in the department, alongside a standard MSc in Computing Science available as both thesis-based and course-based, and an MSc in Computing Science with a specialization in Multimedia offered as course-based only; the Statistical Machine Learning specialization is offered exclusively as a thesis-based program. The department also offers a corresponding PhD in Computing Science with a specialization in Statistical Machine Learning. Departmental research spans human-computer interaction, algorithmics, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, communication networks, computer games, computer graphics, computer vision, multimedia communications, database systems, machine learning, reinforcement learning, robotics, software engineering, and software systems, with this specialization concentrating on statistical and machine learning methods within that broader base. The program is delivered on campus at the University of Alberta's Edmonton campus and suits students pursuing thesis-based research training in statistical machine learning ahead of further doctoral study or research careers.
