The Intelligent Data Engineering and Analytics (IDEA) Lab at UNT is a group of researchers working on exploring effective and efficient methods for access, interaction, and analysis of large, distributed, heterogeneous, and multimedia information, to build high-performance and reliable intelligent systems. Our research spans machine learning, natural language processing, text mining, and information retrieval, focusing on data quality and model testing for data-centric AI systems. We are excited about developing computational models and building real-world applications for important domains such as education, healthcare, legal intelligence, cyber security, scientific communication, etc. The IDEA Lab is led by Dr. Haihua Chen and is also a part of the Department of Information Science, College of Information at UNT. IDEA Lab was previously called IIA Lab, led by Dr. Jiangping Chen.
