The Statistical and Relational Artificial Intelligence (StarAI) lab is directed by Prof. Guy Van den Broeck. The StarAI lab performs research on Machine Learning (Tractable Deep Generative Models, Statistical Relational Learning, Probabilistic Programming), Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (Probabilistic Inference, Probabilistic Databases), and Artificial Intelligence in general.
