GenML·CUT

Cyprus University of Technology · Limassol

Generative models, built on probability.

The GenML Laboratory studies how machines learn to generate data and how they can say how sure they are. We work on diffusion and flow models, Bayesian deep learning and stochastic inference, and we take them to autonomous driving, video and language.

About

Twelve years of statistical machine learning in Cyprus.

The lab was founded in 2014 as the Statistical Machine Learning Research Laboratory and is now the GenML Laboratory. It sits in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering at the Cyprus University of Technology.

Our method is Bayesian at heart. We design models whose uncertainty is part of the answer, and we build the inference algorithms that make them scale to modern data and modern hardware.

Research

Six lines of work that share one toolkit.

p(x)

Scalable generative modelling

Diffusion, flow matching and few-step generators for images, video and trajectories.

p(θ | D)

Bayesian deep learning

Priors, posteriors and nonparametric models that make deep networks report what they do not know.

dX = ∇log p dt + √2 dW

MCMC and Langevin inference

Sampling algorithms for posterior inference and for steering pretrained generators at test time.

softmax(QKᵀ)V

Stochastic and sparse attention

Attention operators with random-measure foundations, built to be efficient and uncertainty-aware.

P(error) ≤ α

Trustworthy AI

Calibration, faithfulness testing and hallucination detection, backed by statistical guarantees.

π₁ … πₖ

Multi-agent LLM systems

Orchestration of language-model agents that plan, critique and improve each other.

  • Autonomous driving
  • Video understanding and generation
  • Natural language processing
  • Recommendation systems
  • Financial inference
  • Engineering surrogates
Projects

European research projects.

HIDDEN
Horizon Europe · GA 101202228

Human-aligned decision-making for autonomous vehicles. The lab develops a dual architecture that pairs a slow vision-language model with a fast diffusion-based planner, together with work on standards compliance.

ACCESS
MSCA Staff Exchanges · GA 101129865

Remote attendance of live-streamed performing arts with a stronger sense of presence: gaze-contingent video super-resolution, an LLM-based virtual companion and a VR virtual foyer.

PHAROS-CY
Horizon Europe · GA 101263007

Trustworthy AI infrastructure for Cyprus. The lab contributes the project's AI Registry tooling, built on multi-agent orchestration.

CPEC
MSCA Doctoral Network · GA 101312322 · from 2027

Circular power-electronics converter design. The lab hosts a doctoral candidate working on world models for power-module health monitoring and lifetime estimation.
