Welcome to the Cognitive Computing Lab (CCL) at Indiana University, Bloomington. The lab is directed by Dr. Michael Jones and focuses on computational and experimental studies of language and knowledge representation in humans and machines. We are generally interested in understanding the computational mechanisms that the human brain has evolved to handle intelligent tasks, and in using these models of human learning to inform Machine Learning and development of better Artificial Intelligence. Further, we study how knowledge of human cognitive systems can be used to build and enhance intelligent systems in practical tasks, and how information environments can be optimally structured for humans and machines to work together.
Interest in practical applications is generally directed to algorithms for intelligent search, knowledge abstraction from text and image databases, data mining using cognitive models, clinical applications of cognitive models, and various AI-based learning technologies.
The CCL is located on the top floor of the Geology Building (right across the street from the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences). The lab is affiliated with the Cognitive Science Program, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, School of Informatics and Computing, Neuroscience Program, Network Science Institute and the Computational Linguistics Program at IU.
The lab is well equipped with computational and eye-tracking technologies, and is particularly well suited to build and evaluate large-scale computational models of cognition due Indiana's supercomputing resources.
Our research is funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Institute of Education Sciences (DOE), the Indiana CTSI, and by Google Research.
