Description @en

The Artificial Intelligence laboratory has expertise in computational creativity, emergent communication and language, computational construction grammar, reinforcement learning, game theory, preference handling, computational biology, computer vision and deep learning, learning in multi-agent systems, and machine learning for data mining. They focus on developing computational systems that exhibit creative behaviors, self-organising languages, mapping natural language to meaning representations, and self-learning systems. They also analyse human decision-making strategies, study social dilemmas and participant decision-making, apply data-analytical and simulation techniques to biological systems, and explore computer vision and deep learning in various domains. Their research extends to decentralised systems, cognitive AI, and the evolution of speech using AI methods. In the marine field, the group explores the following topics:

• vocal plasticity in harbor seal pups, investigating the potential for changes in their vocalisations over time;
• developing a framework for automatically and continuously classifying Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) data from an offshore wind farm into different design load cases. By analysing the data, the effects of wake on the loading conditions experienced by wind turbines is assessed. This data-driven approach using sensor-equipped turbines allows for a more detailed understanding of the loading events throughout the turbines' lifetime, which can inform future design iterations for improved optimisation based on realistic conditions.
