The Johns Hopkins University’s Mathematical Institute for Data Science (MINDS) is aimed at developing the mathematical theories that will hasten the analysis of the massive amounts of data being used to study everything from the inner workings of the human cell to the structure of the universe.

The Institute for Assured Autonomy (IAA) also conducts research in Machine learning with regard to Assurance and Autonomous Systems. The IAA is a national center of excellence ensuring the safe, secure, reliable, and predictable integration of autonomous systems into society by covering the full spectrum of research across the three pillars of technology, ecosystem, and ethics and governance. Its goal is to ensure that autonomous systems will be trusted to operate as expected, to respond safely to unexpected inputs, to withstand corruption by adversaries, and to integrate seamlessly into society.
