Collaborative Human-Centric AI Systems (CRUISE) Lab, led by Prof. Flora
Salim, works on machine learning for
time-series, spatio-temporal data, and multimodal sensor data, and on trustworthy AI (including fairness,
explainability, mechanistic interpretablity) for decision making systems. Our research is supported by the ARC,
CRC, and many local and international industry and government partners.
