-**[[http://geist.agh.edu.pl|Group for Engineering of Intelligent Systems Technologies (GEIST)]]** led by Professor  Antoni Ligęza is a part of the [[http://cslab.ia.agh.edu.pl/en:start|Computer Science Lab]] at the DoA.
-It is active in the areas of intelligent systems, knowledge and software engineering, Internet technologies and databases.
-The group has been involved in number of research project.
-Since 2007 the group has been coordinating the [[http://hekate.ia.agh.edu.pl/|HeKatE]] project, developing advanced knowledge representation and reasoning methods for intelligent systems, bridging knowledge and software engineering.
-Since 2008/9 it has been involved in the [[http://indect-project.eu |INDECT]] project coordinated by the [[http://www.kt.agh.edu.pl/|DoT]].
+===== Areas =====
-===== Main research areas and activities =====
+GEIST is mainly focused on the following //areas of development and applications// of intelligent technologies and systems:
+  - **explainable AI (XAI), machine learning and data mining** including big data analysis in practical applications
+  - **knowledge engineering** including semantic information processing, knowledge graphs and semantic wikis
+  - **business intelligence** including business process management
+  - **ambient intelligence** including context-aware systems and augmented reality
+  - **affective computing** with focus on personalized emotion processing in intelligent systems
-=== Design, Implementation and Verification of Rule-Based Systems and Business Rules ===
+===== Methods =====
+<WRAP column half>
+We use and develop specific //methods and tools// such as for:
+  * knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR),
+  * knowledge engineering and management,
+  * rule-based systems,
+  * formal verification,
+  * knowledge graphs,
+  * semantic annotations and ontologies,
+  * semantic wikis,
+  * explainable artificial intelligence (XAI),
+  * machine learning (ML) techniques,
+  * context-aware applications,
+  * edge AI solutions,
+  * human-computer interaction (HCI),
+  * augmented reality (AR),
+  * affective computing (AfC),
+  * experimental studies, incl. experiments in game environments.

-The GEIST team has deep theoretical and practical experience in Rule-Based Systems. The [[http://hekate.ia.agh.edu.pl|HeKatE]] project (2007-9) delivered conceptual design methods and practical tools.
+<WRAP column half>
-These tools are being actively used and extended to support the design of Business Rules and Processes.
+The expertise of the Group includes:
+  * design and implementation, as well as formal verification and analysis of knowledge-based systems,
+  * modelling and evaluation of business rules and processes,
+  * distributed and collaborative knowledge management with semantic wikis (see [[https://loki.re/|the Loki semantic wiki]]),
+  * development of knowledge graphs, including business solutions (e.g., [[https://doi.org/10.1109/ICTAI52525.2021.00192|in goods monitoring]]),
+  * gathering and processing of a variety of sensory data, such as accelerometer, temperature, physiological signals (ECG, EDA, EEG), and numerous domain-specific signals (e.g., related to coal mining or steel production),
+  * emotion detection and interpretation,
+  * design and development of interfaces with the use of mobile applications, speech, augmented reality, controllers, knowledge graphs, and others,
+  * designing experimental research in a game-based environment (see [[https://afcai.re/pub:biraffe|the BIRAFFE series of experiments]]).
