Artificial Intelligence for Decision Making
Applications closed
Applications for this project are currently closed.
The Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) on “Using Artificial Intelligence for Decision Making” is an opportunity for students who are interested in software engineering and the application of AI to real-life problems. The project is led by a strong research group consisting of experienced faculty members, PhD students, and post-doctoral researchers.
The project is led by myself (Özgür Akgün) and supported by supervisors Ian Miguel, Ian Gent and Chris Jefferson, Joan Espasa Arxer, Nguyen Dang, Ruth Hoffmann, Andras Salamon and a few more people including PhD students and post doctoral researchers.
As with all VIPs, this project designed to include students from multiple year groups and we encourage students to be involved in the project for multiple years. This provides students with the opportunity to take on leadership roles within the project as they gain more experience.
The VIP has two main strands: software engineering and the development of demonstrator applications. In the software engineering strand, students will use modern software development methods and tools (Rust, Github, CI/CD) to develop an efficient modelling toolkit. In the demo strand, students will develop web-based applications that use the group’s tools to solve real-life problems.
Students can choose which strand they would like to work on, depending on their interests and background. The VIP organizers are happy to talk to students before they choose. We are also open to students changing strands throughout their involvement in the project.
Please get in touch if you are interested!
We are primarily interested in recruiting CS students at the moment, but we will consider motivated non-CS students as well. Please get in touch and explain your background and interests.
