Scalable Data Science and AI (ScaDS.ai) Lab

IIIT Bangalore
Welcome to the ScaDS Lab!

The Scalable Data Science (ScaDS) Lab was established by Prof. Vinu E. Venugopal in 2021 at the International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIITB). Our research team is dedicated to creating scalable solutions for a variety of big data challenges.

Our current research efforts are concentrated on two main areas:

  1. Advancing Neuro-Symbolic AI: We are developing robust AI algorithms to enhance reasoning capabilities.
  2. Distributed Streaming Data Systems: We are designing architectures to efficiently process spanning events, which are events associated with a time interval rather than a single timestamp.
