The AI Lab has undertaken a diverse range of research projects spanning robotics, probabilistic reasoning, machine learning, and semantic web technologies.
Karachi Koalas
A joint RoboCup Soccer team with the Innovation & Enterprise Research Lab at UTS Sydney, competing in the 3D Simulation League. The team participated in World RoboCups in Turkey (2011), Mexico (2012), and the Netherlands (2013), reaching the Top 16, Top 10, and 5th in the world respectively.

Developed in partnership with Credit-Chex, a consumer credit bureau and risk management provider, AMLS serves as a decision support tool for financial institutions to identify suspicious transactions and curb money laundering. Funded by a research grant from the National ICT R&D Fund, Pakistan.
IBAYes
A probabilistic reasoning tool for modeling uncertain situations and performing inference using Bayesian Networks and variants such as Influence Nets. Provides full support for modeling Influence Nets, Noisy-Or logic, CAST Logic, and sensitivity analysis of actions and links.
BNOSA
A framework for semantic annotation of unstructured, ungrammatical, and incoherent data sources. Named after its core approach — Bayesian Network and Ontology based Semantic Annotation — BNOSA integrates Bayesian networks and ontologies during the information extraction phase.
