The ASKLab conducts highly interdisciplinary research on several fundamental research topics and on a number of applied domains ranging from psychology and social sciences to civil engineering.
Our work includes research on agent-based systems and decision-support systems and is often based on techniques for Reasoning about Actions and Change.
We conduct research on techniques for modeling complex systems and their evolution over time, and for using those models to address issues in safety, security, and cybersecurity.
We conduct research in knowledge representation, reasoning, information science and data science. Our approaches are often rooted in logic-based approaches and constraint-based reasoning.
"ASK" is also suggestive of our belief that research on meaningful, interactive dialogue with users and other agents is fundamental for the success of intelligent systems.
