ד"ר אריאלה ריכרדסון

I am interested applied data mining and artificial intelligence and Human-Agent Systems. I focus mostly on health-related domains in multidisciplinary environments. Examples include applying data mining methods to handwriting disabilities, the study of cognitive decline in Parkinson and detection of stroke. My research has touched on the question of explainability in human-agent systems as well as autonomous agents that use machine learning for intruder detection, text mining and various other domains.
