LABORATORY FOR
COGNITIVE
MODELING AND
INTELLIGENT
SYSTEMS

A research laboratory at the University of Zadar. We take a computational, data-driven approach to cognitive modeling and intelligent systems, with a strong focus on machine learning and deep learning.

What we are

Mission

We bring together research in artificial intelligence, cognitive modeling and intelligent systems with teaching, practical development and collaboration beyond academia.

Vision

To become a nationally and internationally recognized university centre for cognitive modeling and intelligent systems, grounded in open science and the responsible use of artificial intelligence.

About the lab

Research

Intended research areas

The laboratory is newly established, so these are not yet a research identity. They follow from the mission: six areas we intend to work in, from machine learning and vision to language, affect, cognitive modeling and intelligent systems.

How we work

Ways to collaborate

We work with academic groups, public organisations and companies.

Research collaborationJoint studies, shared datasets and co-authored work in machine learning, vision, language and cognitive modeling.
Project or consortiumA defined work package in a funded or industry project, from field-data analysis to a digital application.
AI prototype or pilotA scoped prototype we can train, evaluate and hand over, using local GPU workstations or a private model deployment.
Evaluation and benchmarkingIndependent tests of model behaviour, robustness and fitness for a stated task, with a written evaluation.
Training and knowledge transferWorkshops and course material for students and partners, including machine learning for environmental and applied data.
