The group focuses its research and development activities on the following methodological topics and applications:

Machine and Deep Learning architectures and methodologies
Exploring the design and development of new deep learning architectures that can address specific challenges in areas like computer vision, natural language processing, or reinforcement learning. This involves designing new layers, optimizing existing architectures, or combining multiple architectures to improve performance.

Federated Learning
Federated learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning (ML) approach that enables models to be trained on client devices while ensuring the privacy of user data. Model aggregation, also known as model fusion, plays a vital role in FL. It involves combining locally generated models from client devices into a single global model while maintaining user data privacy.

Generative Learning
Generative machine and deep learning involves using algorithms to generate new data that is similar to a training dataset. This type of research activity involves developing models that can learn the underlying patterns and relationships in the training data, and then use that knowledge to generate new data that is similar in structure and content. Machine and deep learning methods, such as generative adversarial networks and variational autoencoders, are often used to build these generative models, as they are well-suited for modeling complex data distributions. The ultimate goal of this research is to produce novel data that can be used in a variety of applications, such as image and text synthesis, data augmentation, and anomaly detection.

Scientific Machine Learning and Physics-Informed Neural Networks Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are a type of machine learning technique that combines physics-based modeling with deep learning. These algorithms can be used to solve complex physical problems, such as fluid dynamics or heat transfer, by incorporating physical laws and constraints into the neural network architecture.

Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis
Machine learning and deep learning techniques can greatly enhance mathematical modeling by improving model selection and optimization, data preprocessing, simulation and optimization, uncertainty quantification, and model interpretability. These techniques can help to increase the accuracy and robustness of models, reduce computational complexity, and provide insights into complex systems.
