Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Cybersecurity
Computing Science at Aberdeen has world-leading research strengths across research groups focusing on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Cybersecurity, with particular expertise in multi-agent systems, decision-making and automated reasoning, natural language generation and cybersecurity. Application domains include AI-enabled healthcare, energy and agriculture.
The Agents, Reasoning and Knowledge research group examines automated decision making and reasoning by individual intelligent systems, what the emergent behaviour of a society of such individual decision makers will look like, and how such behaviour can be constrained.
Supervisors: Nir Oren, Bruno Yun, Felipe Meneguzzi, Brian Logan, Rafael Cardoso
Agents, Reasoning and KnowledgeResearch interests include generating natural language from a machine representation system such as a knowledge base, logical form, or structured/unstructured dataset; analysing properties of human language; and developing, applying and evaluating NLP models across a variety of tasks, e.g., dialogue systems, language modelling, question answering, etc.
Supervisors: Professor Ehud Reiter, Dr Yaji Sripada, Anya Belz, Arabella Sinclair, Ruizhe Li, Xiao Li
Natural Language Generation and other areas of Computational LinguisticsDescription:
Research focuses on both academic and industrial aspects of cybersecurity and its applications such as blockchain, secure software-defined networking, Secure edge/fog computing, User-centric security, identity management, web security, privacy-enhanced technologies, security in 5G & beyond networks, etc.
Supervisors: Pradip Sharma, Wanpeng li, Raja Akram, Matthew Collinson, Edward Chuah
Research forces on data-efficient machine learning, probabilistic modeling, and autonomous decision making. Applications focus on robotics, agriculture, energy, health, etc.
Supervisors: Georgios Leontidis, Yaji Sripada, Ruizhe Li, Tryphon Lambrou, Jinya Su, Dewei Yi, Mingjun Zhong, Arabella Sinclair, Xiao Li, Shouyong Jiang
AI-enabled healthcare focuses on transforming the way healthcare is by exploring how it can support improved care outcomes, patient experience, and access to digital healthcare services.
Supervisors: Yun Bruno, Dewei Yi, Ehud Reiter, Pradip Sharma, Ruizhe Li
