The Institute of Information and Communication Technologies, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IICT-BAS), is Bulgaria’s leading research institution in ICT. Within the Department of Modeling and Optimization, we focus on enhancing decision-making support systems, analyzing complex systems, and optimizing multi-source data.
Our team specializes in IoT, cloud architectures, and machine learning models for classification and behavioral pattern analysis. Additionally, we explore the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for red-teaming tasks, particularly in high-stakes fields such as education, cybersecurity, and national security.
Scientists from the Department share their knowledge through teaching in a range of universities.
Current Projects
Methods for data generation, self-learning and model optimization in the lifecycle of AI tools in socially relevant domains
EdgeGuard — Graph-Augmented xAI for Threat Intelligence on Edge Infrastructure
Current Activities
Current activities of the department are concentrated on research and development of optimization methods, algorithms and approaches, as well as of corresponding software products, realizing local and web-based optimization and decision support systems.
