-===== Overview =====
+====== GEIST Research Profile ======
-**[[http://www.agh.edu.pl/en|AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH UST)]]** in Krakow, Poland, founded in 1919, is ranked as one of top Polish universities involved in research and education in information technologies and computer science.
-The university consists of 15 Faculties from number of domains, including the Electrical Engineering and Business Management.
-It employs about 2000 faculty members serving over 33 000 students within undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education programmes.
-**[[http://www.ia.agh.edu.pl/|Department of Automatics (DoA)]]** is a part of the [[http://www.eaie.agh.edu.pl/|Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatics, IT and Electronics]] and is an important centre for education and research.
+{{:pub:home:geist-simple1b.png?width=90px&nolink |GEIST logo}}
-The Department faculty and staff consist currently of over 100 people including 10 professors. Since 1995 the
+**[[https://geist.re|Group for Engineering of Intelligent Systems Technologies (GEIST)]]**
-Since 1995 the Department has been involved in number of European Projects (e.g. TEMPUS, COST, ERASMUS, ESPRIT II).
+was created in 2009 by Grzegorz J. Nalepa and Antoni Ligęza and a group of dynamic young researches.
-Professors and researchers of the Department served as advisories for number of companies, and regulatory bodies in Poland and abroad.
+The research interests of the Group is located in the area of computer science and artificial intelligence.
-Faculty members have been active in professional societies, organizing international conferences (e.g. [[http://www.ifip.or.at/|IFIP]] events) and workshops.
+It is focused on the methods, and tools for developing and applying intelligent technologies and systems.
-Other distinctive departments include the [[http://www.kt.agh.edu.pl/|Department of Telecommunications (DoT)]] that has been extensively involved in various European projects within ACTS (BBL, BTI, BIDS), IST (LION, MOBY DICK, NOBEL, DAIDALOS), Copernicus (MOCOMTEL, KNIXMAS), and Esprit programmes.

-**[[http://geist.agh.edu.pl|Group for Engineering of Intelligent Systems Technologies (GEIST)]]** led by Professor  Antoni Ligęza is a part of the [[http://cslab.ia.agh.edu.pl/en:start|Computer Science Lab]] at the DoA.
+===== Areas =====
-It is active in the areas of intelligent systems, knowledge and software engineering, Internet technologies and databases.
-The group has been involved in number of research project.
-Since 2007 the group has been coordinating the [[http://hekate.ia.agh.edu.pl/|HeKatE]] project, developing advanced knowledge representation and reasoning methods for intelligent systems, bridging knowledge and software engineering.
-Since 2008/9 it has been involved in the [[http://indect-project.eu |INDECT]] project coordinated by the [[http://www.kt.agh.edu.pl/|DoT]].
+GEIST is mainly focused on the following //areas of development and applications// of intelligent technologies and systems:
+  - **explainable AI (XAI), machine learning and data mining** including big data analysis in practical applications
+  - **knowledge engineering** including semantic information processing, knowledge graphs and semantic wikis
+  - **business intelligence** including business process management
+  - **ambient intelligence** including context-aware systems and augmented reality
+  - **affective computing** with focus on personalized emotion processing in intelligent systems
-===== Main research areas and activities =====
+===== Methods =====
+<WRAP column half>
+We use and develop specific //methods and tools// such as for:
+  * knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR),
+  * knowledge engineering and management,
+  * rule-based systems,
+  * formal verification,
+  * knowledge graphs,
+  * semantic annotations and ontologies,
+  * semantic wikis,
+  * explainable artificial intelligence (XAI),
+  * machine learning (ML) techniques,
+  * context-aware applications,
+  * edge AI solutions,
+  * human-computer interaction (HCI),
+  * augmented reality (AR),
+  * affective computing (AfC),
+  * experimental studies, incl. experiments in game environments.
+</WRAP>
-=== Design, Implementation and Verification of Rule-Based Systems and Business Rules ===
+<WRAP column half>
+The expertise of the Group includes:
+  * design and implementation, as well as formal verification and analysis of knowledge-based systems,
+  * modelling and evaluation of business rules and processes,
+  * distributed and collaborative knowledge management with semantic wikis (see [[https://loki.re/|the Loki semantic wiki]]),
+  * development of knowledge graphs, including business solutions (e.g., [[https://doi.org/10.1109/ICTAI52525.2021.00192|in goods monitoring]]),
+  * gathering and processing of a variety of sensory data, such as accelerometer, temperature, physiological signals (ECG, EDA, EEG), and numerous domain-specific signals (e.g., related to coal mining or steel production),
+  * emotion detection and interpretation,
+  * design and development of interfaces with the use of mobile applications, speech, augmented reality, controllers, knowledge graphs, and others,
+  * designing experimental research in a game-based environment (see [[https://afcai.re/pub:biraffe|the BIRAFFE series of experiments]]).
+</WRAP>
-The GEIST team has deep theoretical and practical experience in Rule-Based Systems. The [[http://hekate.ia.agh.edu.pl|HeKatE]] project (2007-9) delivered conceptual design methods and practical tools.
+<WRAP clear></WRAP>
-These tools are being actively used and extended to support the design of Business Rules and Processes.
-Members of the team co-organize the [[http://home.agh.edu.pl/gjn/deris|DERIS]] and [[http://hydrogen.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/wiki/index.php/RuleApps2009|RuleApps]] workshops related to the area.
+===== Contacts =====
-=== Semantic Knowledge Engineering with Semantic Wikis ===
-The GEIST team has practical experience in building and applying semantic wikis in knowledge engineering. Recently a prototype system called PlWiki has been developed and presented at the [[http://isccci.org/iccci-09/|ICCCI]] conference.
-Members of the team work with partners from the [[http://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/|University of Wuerzburg]] in Germany, the developers of the [[http://www.is.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/research/applications/knowwe/|KnowWE]] system, on the implementation of the next generation of semantic wikis.
-Members of the team co-organize the [[http://kese.ia.agh.edu.pl/|KESE]] workshop related to the area.
