What is Computational Intelligence ?
It stands for a sub-domain of Artificial Intelligence that endows the ability for a computer or machine to learn and perform any intellectual task, similar to a human being.
What we do ?
To explore on designing algorithm and techniques that close to the human’s way of reasoning, i.e. utilizes inexact and incomplete knowledge and performs control actions in an adaptive way. Image and video processing, data mining, natural language processing, artificial intelligence, computer vision processing, robotics and human computer interaction seek the similar goals with Computational Intelligence. It is a way of performing like human beings and most of the time heavily used to perform reasoning and decision making processes.
What we aim for ?
To research and integrate the nature-inspired intelligence methodologies into the computer systems to address the complex real-world problems.
There are four sub-groups:
AI is a general term that implies the use of computer to model and / or replicate intelligent behaviour. AI research focuses on the development and analysis of algorithms that learns and / or performs intelligent behaviour with minimal human intervention. These techniques have been and continue to be applied to a broad range of solution in robotics, e-commerce, medical diagnosis, gaming, mathematics, etc. Specifically, research is being conducted in estimation theory, mobility mechanism, active computer vision and so on.
CV processing works on the computer-based interpretation of 2D and 3D image data set from conventional and nonconventional image sources. It involves the field of Medical Image Analysis, Visualization, Object recognition, Gesture Analysis, Facial Expression, Tracking and Scene understanding and modelling, etc.
Robotic Group
Robotic Group
Robotic research is involved in research pertaining to all aspects of robotic manipulation, controls and developing Socially Assistive Robots. Our primary focus is to engineer robots that can operate and interact with humans in unstructured environment. Furthermore, human motion and models development is focused. The current project is working on capturing elegant human motion, improve the system and robot programming in Python language.
Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Group
Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Group
HCI group aims to bridge gap between the human and digital world. Thus, we explore the possibilities to reduce the gap by integrating emerging technologies (e.g., new affordance of the Internet of Things) into our interaction design and solution, with new affordances . Beside, human factors such as human behavior, cognitive psychology, culture, environment, etc will be taken into consideration during the design process, as human/users is the centre of this field of study.
