Intelligent Data Engineering Group

Mission

To participate in developing and applying the machine learning, data mining, and visualization methods studied in CIS, and especially, delivering knowledge and know-how of these methods to our industrial partners.

Activities
Developing Data Mining, Data Exploration and Information Visualization methods for solving problems in

• monitoring and controlling industrial processes,
• telecommunications systems,
• ecology, and
• economy.

In these fields, the group has strong contributions to methods based on Self-Organizing Map (SOM). Some present and former members of the group have developed the SOM Toolbox software.
