About Us
Most of the research activities of the department belong to the field of applied mathematics. The focus is on theoretical problems as well as problems connected with implementation of methods in the following areas:
- mathematical optimization
- nonsmooth analysis
- differential equations
- variational problems
- probabilistic models of decision support systems
- conditional independence structures
- uncertainty in artificial intelligence
- mathematical logic
- multicriteria decision making

Advances in Probabilistic Sentential Decision Diagram Learning and Inference (in room 203)
Probabilistic Sentential Decision Diagrams (PSDDs) are an elegant framework for learning from and reasoning about data. They provide tractable representations of discrete probability distributions over structured spaces defined by massive logical constraints, can be compiled from graphical models su...
