ABOUT US
Within the area of Computer Science, the WAI research group is composed by researchers from different areas related to Computer Graphics, Human-Computer Interaction and Artificial Intelligence. Specifically, we work on Data Visualization, 3D Virtual Worlds, Gamification and Serious Games, Natural Language Processing, Recommender Systems, Machine Learning/Data Science, Multi-Agent Systems, Conversational Agents and how Ethics relate to Artificial Intelligence.
Most of our research is applied to Education, Medicine, Personalization, and Social Interaction/Citizen Participation. WAI research group is part of the Language and Computation Center (CLiC) SGR group (http://clic.ub.edu/en). WAI researchers also belong to the Universitat de Barcelona Institute of Complex Systems (UBICS) (http://ubics.ub.edu/) and the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Barcelona (IMUB) (http://www.imub.ub.edu/) and the researchers are also scientifically related to the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA-CSIC) (http://www.iiia.csic.es/).
