Computational Intelligence Research Group

Research Topics

  • Cluster analysis and classification: models and methods for revealing and interpreting cluster structures in data (Boris Mirkin, Steve Maybank, Dell Zhang)
  • Computational and nature-inspired approaches for intelligent adaptive systems: learning and adaptation in imprecise and changing environments, simulation of interaction and multiagent systems (George Magoulas)
  • Computer vision: colour-based image processing, tracking and recognition of activity in image sequences taken by surveillance cameras, and the detection of image structures (Steve Maybank, Xuelong Li)
  • Engineering self-organising applications: determination of artificial or naturally-inspired mechanisms for designing and developing self-organising systems; determination of operational definitions of self-organising systems, and emergent phenomena in artificial systems (Giovanna Di Marzo Serugendo)
  • Formal methods at run-time: establishment of middleware and related tools for service-oriented computing exclusively based on formal specifications; application of this paradigm to run-time evolution of code, ambient intelligence and autonomic computing (Giovanna Di Marzo Serugendo)
  • Knowledge representation and reasoning: description logic, temporal and spatial logics, similarity logic, modal logic, combining knowledge representation formalisms, decidability and computational complexity (Szabolcs Mikulas, Michael Zakharyaschev)
  • Life sciences and medical informatics: evolutionary reconstructions and combinatorial models of genomic data (Boris Mirkin, Trevor Fenner)
  • Machine learning and data mining in reasoning (Mark Levene, Trevor Fenner)
  • Machine learning for information retrieval (Dell Zhang)
  • Probabilistic and evolutionary algorithms (Trevor Fenner, George Magoulas)
  • Text and natural language processing, in particular, for ontologies and expertise profiling (Mark Levene, Roger Mitton)
  • User-adaptive systems: intelligence-based adaptation to accommodate the evolving needs of users (George Magoulas)
