Abstract
Florida International University (FIU) has established the Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence to conduct advanced research in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Generative AI (text, image, video, and audio), large language models, and Foundation Models, with the goal of providing AI models as services for various applications.
The center supports the Director Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) by developing AI-driven tools for managing and analyzing test and evaluation data across multiple domains. In collaboration with the Department of Defense’s Test Resource Management Center (TRMC), FIU developed the Advanced Automated Machine Learning System (AAMLS), a Rapid Modeling & Testing Tool (RMTT) that helps subject matter experts in fields such as cyber, IoT, energy, and environment to efficiently deploy AI models through automated workflows.
Additionally, the center is working with the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management (DOE EM) and National Labs on AI applications for Nuclear Decommissioning, Robotics, and Sensor Networks. The presentation highlights FIU’s ongoing AI research, which supports multiple federal agencies.
