• At AICS, we conducts interdisciplinary research at the frontier of AI and complex
systems, in domains ranging from healthcare and e-commerce to social good
applications like fighting human trafficking.
• We develop AI systems that perform well, while still being robust and trustworthy, by combining the best
of knowledge representation research (such as knowledge graphs,
ontologies, and symbolic reasoning) with more recent large language models
(LLMs). Our fundamental AI research in open-world learning and common
sense reasoning are important elements in eventually building an artificial
general intelligence (AGI).
• We also study complex systems at scale, from modeling political campaign finance and illicit financial networks to assessing the impacts of public policy during COVID-19.
Our work has been published and presented across almost a hundred peer-reviewed venues and broadly covered in scientific press.
