Lab's Introduction
Welcome to the Cognitive Systems and Decision Intelligence Lab (CSDI Lab) at NTUT! Our lab is dedicated to advancing research at the intersection of computer science, artificial intelligence, statistics, and industrial engineering. We focus on building data-driven and AI-enabled systems that enhance decision-making, process monitoring, and optimization in industrial and enterprise contexts. With strong foundations in time series analytics, anomaly detection, operations research, and machine learning, we aim to bridge fundamental methods with real-world applications in Industry 4.0, manufacturing, logistics, and intelligent automation.
Our projects cover a broad spectrum under the CSDI umbrella, with strong emphasis on:
- Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning – applying AI methods in industrial robotics, process monitoring, and decision support.
- Statistics & Data Science – developing models for forecasting, anomaly detection, and pattern recognition in complex datasets.
- Industrial Engineering & Operations Research – building optimization and decision-making frameworks for production systems, supply chains, and logistics.
At the Cognitive Systems and Decision Intelligence Lab (CSDI Lab), we explore a wide range of interdisciplinary topics at the intersection of AI, data science, industrial engineering, and management science.
- Human–Machine Collaboration & Robotics - Exploring how robots and AI systems can work alongside humans to perform repetitive or complex tasks, combining insights from industrial automation, human–computer interaction, and data-driven process design.
- Industrial AI & Machine Learning Applications - Applying advanced AI and machine learning models to challenges in manufacturing, logistics, and enterprise systems, with links to predictive analytics, optimization, and cyber-physical systems.
- Time Series Analytics & Anomaly Detection - Developing statistical and AI-based methods to detect patterns and anomalies in sensor data, financial series, and operational processes, supporting applications in process monitoring, forecasting, and risk management.
- Optimization & Operations Research - Building mathematical and computational models to improve production planning, supply chains, and resource allocation, while also connecting to algorithm design, decision science, and statistical learning.
- Data Mining & Statistical Modeling - Leveraging statistical, computational, and AI techniques for forecasting, classification, clustering, and knowledge discovery, with applications ranging from business analytics to intelligent systems design.
- Decision Intelligence & Management Science - Integrating AI, data analytics, and optimization with management science principles to support strategic and operational decision-making in both industrial and enterprise contexts.
