Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The focus of the Artificial Intelligence research group is constraint programming, natural language processing, machine learning and adaptive and learning agents. The group's research is strongly interdisciplinary with links into biology, HCI (Human Computer Interaction), psychology and biochemistry.
Group Aims
The research of the Artificial Intelligence group is concerned with the theoretical principles of artificial intelligence and their practical application to real-world domains. The group's research focuses on the areas of constraint programming for problem solving, adaptive and learning agents, statistical relational learning, natural language processing and learning, and artificial intelligence for games and interactive drama. The group was formed on 1 October 1999 by the merger of the Intelligent Systems and Machine Learning groups.
