The Group's research is concerned with the theoretical principles of
artificial intelligence and their practical application to real-world
domains. Research focuses on four areas:
- Constraint programming to solve complex problems fully-automatically
- Machine learning, especially Bayesian network learning, statistical relational learning, inductive logic programming and reinforcement learning
- Natural language processing, especially learning of grammar, morphology and semantics; question answering systems; entity recognition and dialogue systems; information retrieval
- Games and interactive drama using a wide range of artificial intelligence techniques
