The ADA Research Group advances Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods designed to complement rather than replace human intelligence. Our research focuses on the automated design and analysis of algorithms for computationally challenging problems, combining human creativity, advanced machine learning and optimisation techniques, and high-performance computing.
We place particular emphasis on developing reliable, robust and efficient AI systems, with research spanning the following themes: automated machine learning (AutoML), automated data science, neural network verification and data-centric machine learning, particularly for time-series and spatio-temporal data. Our research also extends to high-impact societal, environmental and industrial applications, pursued through strong collaborative partnerships.
The ADA research group was founded in 2017 by Holger Hoos, Professor of Machine Learning at the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science, and is currently co-led by Holger Hoos, Mitra Baratchi and Jan van Rijn.
