Artificial Intelligence
MAIN RESEARCH AREAS
- Machine learning is applied to: video and image processing, for example for person re-identification or analysis of medical images; analysis of other data including medical; cognitive neuroscience and natural language and speech processing.
- We work on improving core AI methods, for example: fair and explainable AI; clustering algorithms; scheduling algorithms.
- In conjunction with the Computing Systems Research Theme we investigate high performance computing techniques for training and inference in machine learning.
