Creating a quality assurance methodology to ensure trustworthiness

Design and develop systematic quality assurance methodology, technique and toolchains (e.g., testing, analysis, repair) towards approaching the trustworthiness of intelligent systems

Lei Ma

University of Tokyo

Associate Professor

Ongoing Research

  • Testing, analysis and repair (etc.) of AI systems from unit level to system level
  • Design human interactive and explainable interface for quality assurance of intelligent system
  • Building AI-enabled Cyber-Physical Systems and design trustworthiness assurance techniques
  • Building AI-enabled Cyber-Cyber Systems and design trustworthiness assurance techniques
  • Domain-specific application of designed general-purpose trustworthiness assurance, e.g., autonomous driving, robotics, power system, extensive code, web 3.0, metaverse.
