University of Leoben - Institute for Computer Science

The Institute for Computer Science at the University of Leoben was founded in February 2003. The main areas of research are computational intelligence, machine learning, and its application to technical and cognitive processes, including incremental and online learning, reinforcement learning, learning for cognitive vision and robotics, autonomous robots, automatic text classification and applications for the World Wide Web. Currently the main activity is the adaptation of machine learning techniques to computer vision tasks under the IST project LAVA. A particular emphasis is on the extraction of relevant features for generic object recognition.
