The rapid convergence of the Internet, the Web, and their successors,
alongside the accelerating digitization of information and the
exponential growth predicted by Moore’s Law, has sparked a revolution
in information access and creation, impacting an ever-expanding
portion of humanity. Today, the Web hosts content that far surpasses
the total textual holdings of the Library of Congress.
The mission of the Intelligent Information Systems Research Laboratory is to pioneer research that enhances our ability to generate, manage, search, and extract knowledge from this vast digital landscape. Our current research spans a wide array of topics, including Internet database design and analysis, mobile Web computing, Web mining and navigation, Web agents, innovative and intelligent Web tools, multimedia retrieval, Web and Internet models, Web usage analysis, automatic content analysis, and digital libraries. Additionally, our work delves into Web search technologies, niche search engines, the Semantic Web, scientific databases, data mining, and information retrieval. Moreover, the IIS Lab is at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence with affective computing, biomedicine, and the analysis of artworks. |
