Al stories: interactive narratives for hospitalised children. 01/01/2018 - 28/02/2022

Abstract

AI Stories is a language technological project based around the paediatrics wards of two Flemish hospitals. The project intends to push forward state of the art natural language generation, in order to implement a system capable of autonomously telling stories, and revealing invaluable psychological data to healthcare staff. In turn, the same technology could be used by companies and sectors outside of healthcare. Such advances will facilitate educational and caring Artificial Intelligence software, and allow companies in those sectors to build and analyse usable systems. The paediatrics ward is an acute example of a socially challenging linguistic context for children, that also exists more generally. By researching there, and developing an intelligent system capable of prolonged dialogue, which incorporates the feedback of healthcare staff, a robust solution across care industries is achievable.

Artificial Creativity in visual communication and arts: an algorithm for inventive and evolving development of concepts and visualization of data. 01/10/2008 - 30/09/2012

Abstract

Using common techniques in Artificial Intelligence a software algorithm is developed that summarizes, interprets and processes textual content (or data sets). In an attempt to simulate human creativity the key concepts in this content are interrelated and recombined into creative and innovative graphical solutions and visualizations. The visual output evolves as the source data changes and expands.
