Research Areas
Computer Vision and Information Visualization
Computational theories for contour image analysis of things such as technical drawings, architectural plans, maps, and even cartoons to enable such images to be used in human and computer interaction. Design of computer chips to register a central region with high detail while displaying a larger zone at lower resolution. Algorithms that permit variable resolution image sequences to be understood. Techniques for visualizing common data-structures such as graphs and multidimensional data sets, and visualizing molecular structures. | More »
Knowledge Representation, Computational Linguistics, and Cognitive Science
Knowledge Representation is a subarea of Artificial Intelligence concerned with understanding, designing, and implementing ways of representing and using information in computers to support human-level cognitive behavior. KR research at UB focusses on logic-based approaches that underlie natural-language use, reasoning, and rational acting. Computational Linguistics research in the department extends to investigations of computational approaches to general natural language processing, including understanding and generation. Departmental researchers are active participants in UB's Center for Cognitive Science, the interdisciplinary study of mind. | More »
