Research Interests:

 Artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, decision making, intelligent management, computational linguistics, pattern recognition, human resources management, digital medicine, social networks, e-medical demoqraphy.

Basic scientific achievements:

The theoretical and methodological basics of technology of knowledge with fuzzy relational structure processing  in local and distributed environments are developed, on the base of which the  architectural design principles of decision support systems, the methods of individual and collective decision-making, methods of processing of dynamic knowledge bases, models and methods for the synthesis of problem-oriented intelligent systems of different kinds are elaborated.

The architecture of terminological data base of the Azerbaijani language is designed, the models and methods of compilation, analysis and correction of specialized explanatory, terminological, automatic dictionaries,  information retrieval thesaurus designed for both users and various information systems are proposed. The technology of automatic processing and editing of the Azerbaijani-language texts in different language levels (morphological, syntactic and semantic) based on the synthesis of the corresponding knowledge base, inference methods, expert systems is developed.

Within the framework of artificial intelligence technologies, conceptual and methodological approaches to the solution of difficultly formalized multidisciplinary problems are proposed; fuzzy models and methods for solving the problems of demographic forecasting, estimating household income in the context of various social groups, intellectual human resource management in the İT segment of the labor market, decision support in the e-medicine environment, etc. have been developed.

She is author of 328 scientific works. She has more 177 works were published abroad. 

She  has  prepared 1 DSc and 10 PhD.  

In 2021 she was awarded the Honorary Diploma of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences.
