About The BCML Lab @Heriot-Watt

The BCML (Bio-inspired Computing and Machine learning) Lab, led by Dr Wei Pang, is one research lab at Department of Computer Science of Heriot-Watt University. Its official university presence is here

The BCML lab was previously known as the Systems Modelling and Machine Learning (SMML) Lab, which was based at Aberdeen University and led by Dr Wei Pang when he was a Senior Lecturer there until 2019.

We are focusing on developing novel bio-inspired algorithms and machine learning solutions and apply them to solve a range of problems. Specifically, we are interested in applying bio-inspired computing to develop more efficient machine learning solutions. We are also interested in robustness, accountability, and fairness in machine learning.
