The AI and Data for Society (AID4So) research group focuses on the development of new methods in Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning and Big Data Analytics as in their application to solving research questions in the field of Data Science, Computational Social Science and Digital Humanities. The group puts humans at the centre of its research effort. Thus, particular focus is given to studying and using ethical, sustainable and explainable AI and Machine learning methods.

Research Lines

• Theoretical research in AI and Machine Learning: Improving and developing new methods in AI and Machine Learning, with a special focus on explainable methods in text generation and classification, detection of information credibility and novel embedding techniques in graph neural networks.
• Applied Data Science research: Using state-of-the-art methods from Computer Science, AI and Machine Learning we work on generic data science problems while especially aiming to deepen our understanding of human behaviour, at the individual, group and societal levels and in both the digital and the offline world.
