The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (also called simply the Gatsby Unit for short) is an academic research organization within University College London. It is supported by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation.[1] and is closely associated with the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour[2]. It is located in Fitzrovia, in central London. Artificial Intelligence research company DeepMind was founded at the Gatsby Unit[3]
History
The Gatsby Unit was founded in 1998[4] by Peter Dayan[5], Li Zhaoping[6], and Turing Award winner Geoffrey Hinton[7][8].
In 2016 the Gatsby Unit moved from their home in Queen Square to Fitzrovia to create a collaborative partnership with the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour (SWC). The unit and SWC, both part of the Faculty of Life Sciences at UCL, work closely together, with parallel PhD programmes and one joint PhD programme, common day-to-day activities, and joint appointments and research projects that bring together theoretical/computational and experimental neuroscience. The unit is also part of the cross-faculty Centre for Computational Statistics and Machine Learning (CSML), and collaborates with other UCL research groups in neuroscience and machine Learning. In 2020, the unit joined the ELLIS Unit at UCL, part of the wider European Lab for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS), Europe's leading network for AI research. The unit has strong links with two other Gatsby Charitable Foundation-funded research centres: the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University and the Gatsby Programme in Theoretical Neuroscience, Hebrew University.[9]
Research at the Gastby Unit
Researchers at the Gatsby Unit study machine learning and theoretical neuroscience.
Work at the Gatsby Unit encompasses theoretical and computational neuroscience, computational statistics, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence. These research threads are drawn together by the unit's focus on the mathematical foundations of adaptive intelligent behaviour.[10]
