Currently the DIT AI Group has a range of active projects. These are listed below with links to further information.

Tackling Concept Drift Without Labelled Instances

When creating a model using machine learning the availability of labelled instances is vital. Once the model has been built their importance decreases as long as the concept remains static. However if the concept changes labelled instances are once again imperative. The focus of this research is to minimise the need for labelled instances when tackling concept drift.

Analysing Dail Questions

The availability of the full text of Irish parliamentary questions offers opportunities for using machine learning techniques to examine the currently much discussed role of elected representatives (TDs) in the Irish parliamentary system (the Dail). This project is investigating the labelling of Dail questions using Active Learning techniques.

Comenius 2.0

Comenius 2.0 is a translational research project developing novel technology for English-as-a-second-language teaching that identifies the difficulty level of online articles and recognised grammatical patterns and words of interest in these articles. This information is used as the basis for a search engine and a suite of exercise generation tools.

Credit Scoring Using Machine Learning

For financial institutions and the economy at large, the role of credit scoring in lending decisions cannot be overemphasised. An accurate and well-performing credit scorecard allows lenders to control their risk exposure through the selective allocation of credit based on the statistical analysis of historical customer data. This work identifies and investigates a number of specific challenges that occur during the development of credit scorecards.
