Computational Intelligence

The Computational Intelligence Group (CIG) was created in 2017 and is led by Dr. Moses Ekpenyong. Our research activities cover a broad range of theoretical and practical topics in Intelligent Systems and Data Science, with the capacity to offer nature inspired solutions to real world problems, which appear non-linear and complex. Within the CIG researchers and students design and develop nature inspired and optimized algorithms to tackle real world problems.

    • To perform internationally recognized and evidence-based research in the analysis, design and application of CI methodologies
    • To promote excellence in teaching subjects in CI fields
    • To transfer our knowledge and expertise to the industry and attract funding through high quality research projects
    • New algorithms, data structures, and infrastructure for Big data
    • Data mining
    • Optimization
    • Metalearning and ensemble algorithms
