Research areas

Our vision is to undertake fundamental research that allows us to address real-world challenges.

Our approach to research is based on an ethos of interdisciplinary partnerships and co-creation that generate impact by addressing societal and business challenges.

Our research activity is organised into three priority areas focusing on emerging trends within our rapidly-evolving discipline:

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

Artificial intelligence and data analytics

Our research is aimed at developing novel methods for capturing, modelling and processing information that is encoded in natural language or in structured form.
