Welcome to
MARS Lab
WE ARE THE
Advanced Machine Learning and Data Analytics Research (MARS) Lab
MARS is a research group in the School of Computer Science at the University of Auckland. The lab is developing the next generation of machine learning algorithms and interdisciplinary applications. Our research bridges disciplines, with applications spanning environmental monitoring, conservation, and social sciences. The lab fosters a collaborative community of researchers dedicated to pushing the boundaries of applied AI, building solutions that are not only innovative but also sustainable, affordable, and impactful. This group is co-directed by Prof Gillian Dobbie and Professor Yun Sing Koh. With a focus on topics such as:
Machine Learning for Social Good
MARs is part of the the Centre of Machine Learning for Social Good. The mission of the Centre is to advance fundamental knowledge in machine learning and data analytics while addressing the most challenging and pressing health, environmental, and societal problems of our time. This is the first centre in Aotearoa focussing on social good by using machine learning in collaboration with domain experts as a catalyst to solve high-impact societal issues.
