Machine learning offers techniques and systems for uncovering meaningful insights in data, like identifying connections between medical test outcomes and treatment effectiveness. It's particularly useful when working with existing training datasets (such as collections of case studies) and when developing custom solutions would be impractical or too expensive.
As an established technology, machine learning has made substantial contributions across commercial and scientific domains. Its applications span diverse fields including healthcare data analysis, petroleum exploration, genetic research, and industrial automation. This discipline intersects with several adjacent fields such as computational biology, information retrieval, pattern recognition, and intelligent systems. Students pursuing advanced degrees might consider focusing on Statistical Machine Learning as a specialization.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants for the Ph.D. in Computing Science must have an M.Sc. degree in Computing Science or a related field. Deficiencies must be addressed by taking appropriate undergraduate courses. A 3.0 GPA is typically the minimum GPA for acceptance in an MSc or PhD program. However, we may consider slightly lower GPAs in exceptional circumstances or due to small discrepancies in international GPA conversion rates. Meeting the 3.0 GPA minimum requirement does not guarantee admission. Our department admissions process is highly competitive and the Admissions Committee often selects students with a 3.5 GPA or higher. Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT, in-person or special at-home edition) - A minimum TOEFL score of 100 with a minimum score of 21 on each of the individual skill areas (internet-based), or equivalent. Academic International English Language Testing System (IELTS - Academic) - A minimum overall band score of 7.0 with a minimum score of 6.5 on each band
