Our research group is interested in privacy-aware transparent AI systems. We
want to understand the fundamental principles that permit us to build these
systems, and develop algorithms for this purpose. We focus on data privacy for
data processing, privacy-aware machine learning for building models and data
analytics, and decision models for making decisions. AI systems need to cope
with uncertainty in order to be deployed in the real world, where imprecision,
vagueness and randomness are rarely absent. We research on approximate
reasoning (models of reasoning to address uncertainty as e.g.
probability-based, and fuzzy set-based models).
The project is part of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software
Program (WASP), Sweden’s largest individual research program ever, a major
national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and
faculty recruitment. https://wasp-sweden.org/
Umeå is a clean and green city in northeast Sweden on the Ume river and near
the coast. It is a university town capital of the Vasterbotten county and the
largest city in northern Sweden.
