Overview of Artificial Intelligence
The Artificial Intelligence research
group consists of eight full-time academic faculty members: Professors
Ronald Arkin,
Chris Atkeson,
Kurt Eiselt,
Ashok Goel,
Mark Guzdial,
Janet Kolodner,
Daryl Lawton, and
Ashwin Ram;
and five research scientists: Drs.
Richard Billington,
Terry Chandler,
Eric Domeshek,
Mimi Recker, and
Linda Wills.
As a group, their research covers
much of the Artificial Intelligence research spectrum, ranging from use of
knowledge in problem solving, language processing, explanation, perception,
and robotics; to representation and organization of knowledge; to acquisition
of knowledge, learning, and instruction. Much of their research has a strong
cognitive flavor to it. Some of it is inspired by cognition while some
explicitly models cognitive processes.
Several academic and research units of Georgia Tech are engaged in active and
collaborative research in applied Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. Professors Dorrit
Billman, Susan Bovair, Richard Catrambone, and Tony Simon in the School of Psychology are working on
several of the issues mentioned above. The Man-Machine
Systems Research Center in the School of Industrial and Systems
Engineering has a strong ongoing research program in cognitive engineering.
The Georgia Tech Research Institute, similarly, has a large research and
development program in several aspects of applied AI and CS including expert
systems, cognitive engineering, and neural networks. The Graphics,
Visualization and Graphics group in the College of Computing conducts
research in cognitive aspects of Human-Computer Interfaces.
