Integrating fundamental applied science understanding into technology has been a continuous process throughout history, and the CHEME AI Lab works to make today’s data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) stronger. We investigate knowledge-driven AI and demonstrate its potential within two applied science domains in particular – chemical engineering and imaging physics. Our research also applies to a wider range of applications. It explores fundamental ways to instil knowledge into all key components of AI: data acquisition, algorithm design, user interaction and deployment. Such knowledge-driven AI aims to be more interpretable and reliable than purely data-driven AI, and it will further drive future scientific development in chemical engineering and imaging physics.

The CHEME AI Lab is part of the TU Delft AI Labs programme.
