Artificial Intelligence and Applications

Overview
Theme 2 The Artificial Intelligence & Applications research team is working on several artificial intelligence techniques, especially machine learning as applied to various areas, such as knowledge management, economic modeling, chemical engineering, healthcare analytics, agriculture, environmental sciences, optimization, simulation and robotics. The research aims to show how artificial intelligence techniques can facilitate the decision-making processes surrounding different real-world problems, by providing solutions that are accurate, efficient, general, and interpretable.
