UBC has one of the top optimization groups in the world. We have some of the top people in the world working on optimization for machine learning, focusing on speeding up (and reducing the power consumption) of the machine learning models that are changing our daily life. We also have specialization in solving industrial-strength combinatorial optimization problems. UBC researchers have won prominent awards in both areas.
