Upgrading the toolkit for AI problems

Interview: Astrid Kuffner

Robert Ganian wants to modify a well-proven theoretical computer science toolkit so it can be used for the booming field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. In order to extend the so-called parameterised complexity theory to this rapidly growing area of application, he needs to bring together expertise from various fields. At the end of […] Continue reading “Upgrading the toolkit for AI problems”

Artificial intelligence plus common sense

In the future, a new generation of autonomous robots is set to complete tasks autonomously, even if something unforeseeable happens. With the support of the Austrian Science Fund FWF, IT experts in Graz are working to advance the development of artificial intelligence and equip robots with common sense. Continue reading “Artificial intelligence plus common sense”
