We are StatsML Group.

We are an academic research group located at Room 202, 205 and 235 at the Department of Computer Science and Automation, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Under the guidance of Prof. Ambedkar Dukkipati, our work focuses on the following major topics:

Statistical network analysis, Network representation learning, and Spectral graph methods
Natural language processing and Knowledge graphs
Machine learning in low data regime and causal inference
Sequential decision-making under uncertainity
Deep reinforcement learning and offline reinforcement learning

Doctoral Students

are currently associated with our group. They work on their individual research problems in close collaboration with each other and faculty members.

Masters Students

are working with us for completing their final year projects under the guidance of the faculty. They also work on industrial projects to gain real-world experience.

Publications

in the last 5 years in top-tier conferences and journals as a part of our research efforts.

Total publications

in top-tier conferences and journals since the inception of our group.
