The amount of data we are generating is increasing exponentially. So how do we use it and make sense of it all?
At the University of Birmingham, through our collaborations and partnership with the Alan Turing Institute,
We are transforming how we understand and apply Data Science and AI.
We are achieving this by accelerating progress in science.
At the Institute for Interdisciplinary Data Science and AI we are advancing the technologies of Data Science and AI
and are applying them to some of the most important questions in sustainability, health, and in the sciences and humanities.
We are speeding up the scientific discovery process through advanced high performance computing,
enabling rapid progress in areas such as materials design, flood development and computer vision.
We are enabling robots to collaborate with humans in complex domains
by adapting to previously unseen situations.
In essence, we are building integrated robot systems that sense, reason and act with minimal human supervision.
by using a combination of common sense knowledge and input from a variety of sensors.
Innovation is a good thing if it is done responsibly.
We are building a bridge between science law and ethics, ensuring technology is regulated in a responsible way.
We are building a sustainable future.
We're using data science to understand our energy use and energy systems,
to better understand where we're going, we need to understand where we've been
we are investigating the fundamental questions about our railways, using data to advance systems,
to better manage disruptions and improve the efficiency, reliability and the sustainability of our networks.
An inability to understand numerical data can create huge problems for society.
We are improving the language used to communicate data,
Ensuring the story tells enables us to make life or death decisions, from weather patterns to government legislation.
We're developing new recycling technologies,
recovering technology-critical metals from lithium-ion batteries
and rare earths from electric vehicle motors.
We are transforming our understanding of healthy bodies, minds and behaviours.
We are ensuring AI in healthcare is underpinned by the best evidence.
through developing internationally recognised guidelines.
So we can ensure patients and public have trust and assurances in their safety and effectiveness.
We develop smart, AI-controlled robots
for solving major industrial challenges which are economically large and societally important.
At the cross-campus Centre for Computational Biology, we are developing and applying cutting-edge methods in data science and AI,
with our expert partners across the world spectrum of the life sciences
to advance world-class research, apply it to real-world problems and train the next generation of data scientists.
We are understanding and addressing inequality.
We are ensuring that the data used to drive health data research represents all patients,
regardless of age, gender, and ethnicity.
So that as we move forward into a digitally-enabled era of healthcare, no one is under-represented and no one is left behind
At the University of Birmingham, our Data Science and AI work is at the heart of many research areas,
including biosciences, brain research, robotics and microbiology.
