I'm leading the MultiX group where we research multimedia analytics by developing AI techniques for getting the richest information possible from the data (image/video/text/graphs) interactions surpassing human and machine intelligence, and visualizations blending it all in effective interfaces for applications in health, forensics and law enforcement, cultural heritage, urban livability, and social media analysis.

In his work at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Worring is exploring new methods for interpreting, modelling and strengthening business processes such as marketing and customer profiling using both unstructured data (images, text, social media) and structured data (business information, economic factors, demographic figures). The key question to be addressed is how computers can be made to automatically learn from this mass of information sources – with their differing qualities and characteristics – and how experts can shape that learning process with the aid of visualisations. In addition to his research activities, Worring is teaching in the new Big Data Analytics track of the Master's in Econometrics.

The research in Multimedia Analytics is focused on the integration of Multimedia Analysis, Multimedia Mining, Information Visualization, and Multimedia Interaction into a coherent framework which yields more than its constituent components.

The Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI) is a national initiative focused on joint technology development between academia, industry and government in the area of artificial intelligence. The Netherlands has the talent, the world-class research and the longstanding tradition in AI education to be one of the world’s top ranked countries in terms of innovation power. ICAI brings these positive forces together in a unique national initiative.ICAI’s innovation strategy is organized around industry labs, these are multi-year strategic collaborations with a focus on technology and talent development. ICAI will create innovative AI-applications, distribute AI-knowledge for companies and organizations in the form of technology products and tools, train corporate employees through dedicated courses, and simultaneously maintain a connection with other world-level science centers. ICAI will also facilitate commercialization by enhancing start-ups and spin-outs.
