Learning Systems Group (formerly WEG)
LSG develops systems that learn and help people learn. We are developing e-learning and collaborative applications that use machine learning algorithms to improve the user experience or produces innovative functionalities.
Our current work includes:
- Text mining functionalities to support collaborative learning
- Affective computing
- Social network analysis
- Computer supported collaborative work and learning
- Physiological (EEG/EKG/EMG) signal processing using machine learning algorithms
