Research
CAIDAS is JMU's interdisciplinary research center in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, where research questions in Machine Learning, Data Science, Image and Text Analysis, AI Systems, Ethics/Legal/Societal Acceptance, and Economy and Transfer are to be answered in particular within the four central application pillars: AI for Life Science, Human-Centered AI, AI in Digital Humanities, Economics/Law and AI. The methods for these applications are also researched at CAIDAS in the underlying area Foundations of AI and Data Science.
