Intelligent Data Analysis (IDA) fuses Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and Statistics to solve challenging real-world problems. The Intelligent Data Analysis (IDA) Group was founded in 1994 under Professor Xiaohui Liu at Birkbeck College, University of London. It moved to Brunel University London in 2000 and hosts around 40 members of academic staff, post doctorate research staff and PhD students. The IDA group is a leading centre of excellence for multidisciplinary work involving Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Statistics. The work in the IDA group has led not only to novel research results published in many leading journals in the field, but also to effective implementation of applications that have been successfully used in practical settings, especially in biology and medicine. Our research areas of interest Artificial intelligence, Machine learning, Data analysis, Data pre-processing, Text mining, Image Analysis, Deep Learning tools and applications Read our latest news Nicky Nicolson is one of two recipients of the GBIF Young Researchers Award for 2019.Congratulations again to Nicky Nicolson, who recently defended her thesis with no changes, and has now been awarded the GBIF Young Researcher award. The award jury, led by GBIF science committee vice chair Anders G. Finstad of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), lauded Nicolson for her “highly original and innovative” approaches and […]Congratulations to Nicky Nicolson!Congratulations to Nicky Nicolson who successfully defended her thesis on Friday 5th Oct with no changes!
