Overview
The Applied AI Group conducts research inapplication of AI methods in various fieldsand systems. We investigate applicabilityof machine learning, ontology based reasoning, automated theorem provers, knowledgediscovery and other AI methods for solvingdigitalisation problems of different industrialand governmental stakeholders.Our previous research has been concentratedon building software development methodsand tools (e.g. CoCoViLa) with AI components,basically with program synthesis and ontologybased knowledge representation components.During a number of decades several softwaretools that facilitate AI techniques have beendeveloped by the group. The following is a listof tools that are still in use or under development: CoCoViLa – a visual model-based software development environment –http://cocovila.github.io/ WhiteDB – a lightweight NoSQL database library – http://whitedb.org/ GKC – a discussion tool on large knowledgebases – https://github.com/tammet/gkcCurrently we work on topics such as application of AI methods in spatial data analysis,using machine learning for risk managementin e-commerce and for public service delivery.
