The artificial intelligence and Marine Information Laboratory of Tianjin University was established in April, 2010. The research team relies on the school of electrical automation and information engineering of Tianjin University and has strong hardware foundation and technical support. At present, it has undertaken more than 40 projects, spent more than 50 million on scientific research, published more than 120 high-level SCI papers, and authorized more than 40 invention patents.
  The research directions of our laboratory are mainly divided into three categories:
  (1)Cybersecurity & Privacy: we focus on portrait privacy and security on social media. In response to this problem, we have explored the forgery detection and the internal mechanism of forgery at the same time, and have achieved outstanding results.
  (2)Sample information: we explored how to combine samples to bring higher information gain to the model. Our work includes but is not limited to: active learning and its explanation methods, element-based sample information evaluation methods, guided-sampling methods, etc.
  (3)Reinforcement learning: our group focuses on innovation and application of reinforcement learning algorithms, including multi-agent reinforcement learning, reinforcement learning generalization and robustness research, and application of reinforcement learning in marine. Based on reinforcement learning, we have implemented path planning, pilot following, track keeping and obstacle avoidance tasks for AUVs in Gazebo platform.
  (4)Intelligent Marine: Focus on practical demands on marine applications and advances in informatics, marine information processing technology has produced various intelligent marine big data platforms. The platforms are applicable to vessels, underwater vehicles, floats, controlling ocean environmental monitoring and processing the observed information.
  The main personnel include a number of full-time research engineers, as well as more than 40 doctoral and graduate students. we expect students who are interested in the fields of our projects to join us and do scientific research together.
