Who We Are
Biometrics and Machine Learning Group (ZBUM) is a part of the Institute of Control and Computation Engineering at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology of the Warsaw University of Technology.
Area of interest
The research is centered on biologically inspired control and information technology, including biometrics, machine learning, uncertainty modeling, and biological modeling. Biometrics consists in using personal characteristics for identity authentication. Our research in biometrics includes pattern recognition for iris, hand-written signature, face image, etc. Also, safety of biometric data storage and exchange, biometrics intelligent cards, and data encryption using biometrics are investigated. Machine learning research is focused on reinforcement learning, applied to adaptive control, and multi-agent systems. Also, learning in neural networks and modeling granularity is investigated.
