Resubmit

Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.

Submission declined on 27 September 2024 by Dr vulpes (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (also called simply the Gatsby Unit for short) is an academic research organization within University College London. The unit is located in the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre (SWC) in Fitzrovia, in central London. It is supported by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation^[1] and is closely associated with the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre^[2]. Researchers at the Gatsby Unit study theoretical neuroscience, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). 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 Geoffrey Hinton^[7]^[8]. Founding director Geoffrey Hinton is a Turing Award winner (2018) and Nobel Prize in Physics laureate (2024).

Research at the Gastby Unit

Research 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.^[9]
