What is Artificial Intelligence ( )
g (AI)?
• John McCarthy coined AI term in 1956 as ‘the science and engineering of
making intelligent machines’ at a conference at Dartmouth College. Intelligent
machine terms refer to the capability of performing intelligent human processes
as:
– Learning
– Reasoning
– Problem solving
– Perception
– Language understanding

• AI has become an essential part of the technology industry, providing the
heavy lifting for many of the most difficult problems in computer science.
– Prediction
– Classification
– Regression
– Clustering
– F ti ti i ti
Function optimization

Why is AI p
y powerful?

• The power resides in the combination of disciplines that tackle the same
problems as AI: learn and understand, to solve problems and to make decisions.
• AI is fed from many disciplines

– Mathematics: Formal representation and proof, algorithms, computation,
(un)decidability, (in)tractability.

– Statistics : Modeling uncertainty, learning from data.
– Economics: Utility, decision theory, rational economic agents.

– Computer Engineering: Building fast computers.
– Control Theory: Design systems that maximize an objective function over time.
– Linguistics: Knowledge representation, grammars.

Research Group in Intelligent Systems
p g y
• GRSI is a research group focused on Machine Learning, especially in
the field of Knowledge Discovery from Databases (KDD) (also
known as Data Mining) for extracting interesting patterns from
moderate and large complex data.
– Created in 1994
– Recognized as consolidated by Generalitat de Catalunya since 2002.
– Group is composed of 18 members.
