Current research projects
The Interdisciplinary Lab for Intelligent and Adaptive Systems (ILIAS) is a research group within the Computer Science and Communication Research Unit. Its main goal is to realise and develop research and teaching in the area of intelligent and adaptive systems at the University of Luxembourg (and beyond).
The overarching subject is information processing - or more specifically, inference - in complex and dynamic environments given limited resources and incomplete or uncertain knowledge. The unit investigates the theoretical foundations and the algorithmic realisations of systems.
- performing complex problem solving with a high degree of autonomy, i.e. intelligent,
- exploiting learning to deal with opaque and dynamic contexts, i.e. adaptive.
The research lab is characterised by a strong cross-disciplinary perspective, combining expertise from computer science, information theory, statistics, mathematics, and logic.
