Award-winning

The quality of our work has been recognised by three best paper awards: ICML (2019) and AISTATS (2020, 2021)

Over 80 papers published

To date, we have published over 80 papers in top machine learning journals and conferences.

Six patents

We are continuing to drive innovation in the application of ML to solve the most complex engineering challenges.

Collaborating with the machine learning community

Our open-source toolboxes are some of the building blocks for the Secondmind Optimization Engine. Open-sourcing these frameworks enables us to contribute to the community and continue to advance applied machine learning.

Secondmind is the home of GPflow - the standard library for Gaussian process models in Python / Tensorflow. It covers classic GP regression models, and the modern approaches based on variational inference and MCMC.

Go to Github

GPflux is our Deep GP library. It is built on top of GPflow and Keras and allows users to quickly build models with complex input / output relationships.

Go to GitHub

Trieste is our active learning library. It is extremely data-efficient and compatible with advanced probabilistic models from GPflow and GPflux. It supports constrained optimization, noisy data and multi-objective optimization.
