Research themes

Explore research themes in the work of Te Whiri Kawe—Centre for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.

Te Whiri Kawe—Centre of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence offer areas of expertise across several technology themes.

Stack of books whose spines all have titles referring to data mining — Modelling and statistical learning

We use intelligent modelling and statistical learning to build mathematical, statistical and logic models between output and input variables.

Many bees fly around a row of colourful hives — Evolutionary and multi-objective learning

We have the largest AI and machine learning research team in the southern hemisphere, with a focus on evolutionary learning and optimisation.

Scribbly lights in a globe shape against a dark background — Deep learning and transfer learning

We work across a number of deep learning paradigms. We're leaders in the automated design of deep learning models, including deep neural networks.

Close up of round mechanical device that has extending arms with propellors — Image, text, signal, and language processing

Our major areas of research include computer vision, image analysis and pattern recognition, and text mining and natural language processing.

Woman in front of multi-screen display of town map — Scheduling and combinational optimisation

Scheduling and combinatorial optimisation is an important area in modern and high-value manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain management.

Student stands in front of multi-screen display while a second student operates a laptop — Interpretable artificial intelligence and machine learning

In some applications, such as in medicine and the law, having an AIML model that can be explained is as important as the result that it arrives at.
