Led by Prof. Chaim Baskin, the INSIGHT Lab at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, pioneers research in advanced AI designed for real-world applicability. The research in our lab leverages domain-specific priors—such as geometric principles like symmetry, invariance, topology, and manifold structures—as well as insights from information theory, image processing, and signal processing  to create effective and efficient models dealing with various learning tasks.  …more about lab
