The research group at the department of Computer Science of the University of Bari (DIB) refers to people of the LACAM laboratory. LACAM is the Italian acronym of Knowledge Acquisition and Machine Learning Laboratory. Research at LACAM spans from knowledge acquisition to machine learning techniques, with the aim of improving Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

Main research activities are:

	Machine learning methods and systems based on symbolic and numerical approaches, integration of numerical representations through first-order logic for the development of reasoning techniques under uncertainty, methods and systems for automatic revision of logic theories, with particular attention to the maintenance of knowledge bases and object-oriented
	databases, through inductive techniques;
	Multimedia and multi-modal human-computer interaction, visual languages, visual query systems for knowledge bases, with particular attention to the study of theoretical aspects related to the formal definition of the communication languages and paradigms for data and knowledge representation, Web interfaces, user modelling methods for the development of adaptive interfaces, usability of interactive systems;
	Intelligent decision systems for help to decisions, expert systems for automatic manipulation of documents and for the interpretation of cartographic maps; intelligent systems for digital libraries;
	Intelligent tutoring systems.
