Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Research
Cleveland State University (CSU) offers a proven record of expertise in data science and artificial intelligence in partnership with CSU T.E.C.H. Hub, Center for Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection, and Center for Applied Data Analysis and Modeling. CSU researchers partner and collaborate with government and private industry to develop and deliver innovative engineering solutions in statistical methods for big data, secure machine learning systems, deep neural networks, machine learning and artificial intelligence (MLAI)-based communication solutions, and image and video data analysis.
RESEARCH CAPABILITIES
We create, design and develop innovative data science and AI methods and systems:
- Biomedical data in a graphical form to analyze heart failure patient data using unsupervised machine learning
- Ranking disease genes for medical discovery, drug development, and process control
- Secure machine learning systems for multimodal data analysis in cybersecurity, healthcare, and disaster resilience applications
- Integration of classic communications with MLAI solutions for underwater communications and joint sensing and communications
- Data-driven wireless networking for low SNR communication and On-the-Fly Training for adapting to different environment
