TOPICS

Natural Language Processing

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is “the set of theories and techniques used to create machines capable of simulating human intelligence”
Multi-Agent Systems
A multi-agent system (MAS or “self-organized system”) is a computerized system composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents.Multi-agent systems can solve problems that are difficult or impossible for an individual agent or a monolithic system to solve. Intelligence may include methodic, functional, procedural approaches, algorithmic search or reinforcement learning.
