Intelligent Computing and Data Mining Lab
ICDM Lab works at the intersection of data mining and artificial intelligence. We build trustworthy, explainable, and generative methods for graph, spatio-temporal, and multimodal data — and increasingly build on foundation models — to turn large-scale, real-world data into reliable knowledge and deployable systems.
Research
Trustworthy and Explainable AI
Can a model's explanations be inspected and relied upon when the stakes are high?
Learn more →Graph Learning
How do we detect anomalies and make reliable predictions on relational data?
Learn more →Social Computing
How does multimodal content spread, and how can harmful content be identified?
Learn more →Foundation Models and Agents
How do we adapt large pretrained models to new domains, and what can agents built on them do reliably?
Learn more →AI for Industry and Healthcare
What changes when these methods meet scarce, irregular, or sensitive real-world data?
