Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis (AIDA) Lab

The AIDA (Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis) Laboratory aims to offer data analysis and artificial intelligence integration services to support research projects at the Milan branch of Sigmund Freud University. The expertise of its collaborators in various fields of data analysis is a point of reference both for internal theses and research projects and for external parties wishing to make use of the resources of SFU Milan.
