Artificial Intelligence For Improving Data Processing
Carlos III University of Madrid recently hosted a group of international artificial intelligence (AI) experts to discuss the technology's latest advances.
Five researchers discussed issues including combinational problem-solving algorithms, reasoning robots, vision systems, and automated players. "Inviting speakers from groups of references allows us to offer a panoramic view of the main problems and the techniques open in the area, including advances in video and multi-sensor systems, task planning, automated learning, games, and artificial consciousness or reasoning," the researchers said.
The University of Udine's Artificial Vision and Real Time Systems research team presented a seminar on data-fusion techniques and distributed artificial vision, focusing on automated surveillance systems with visual sensor networks. Essex University professor Simon Lucas discussed the latest trends in generating algorithms for game strategies. The University of Genoa's Enrico Giunchiglia described recent advances in logic satisfaction, which has gained importance due to its applications in circuit design and task planning.
To date, AI "has been equated with automated reasoning in software systems, but in the future AI will tackle more daring concepts such as the incarnation of intelligence in robots, as well as emotions, and above all consciousness," says University of Palermo professor Antonio Chella.
