BBC Research and Development, along with colleagues from around the BBC, launched a five-year research partnership with eight UK Universities aiming to unlock the potential of data in the media. The Data Science Research Partnership has the objective to be at the forefront of machine learning in the media industry, helping create a more personal BBC that can inform, educate and entertain in new ways.
The partnership aims to collaborate with media and technology organisations from across the UK, Europe and internationally on a range of projects. More detailed information about the project can be found here.
