Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence research in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London is centered around the study and development of intelligent, autonomous systems. Our research focuses on theoretical foundations as well as applications of AI.
Our expertise ranges from machine learning to knowledge representation and reasoning, autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, human-machine interactions and collectives, cognition and human modeling, data science, robotics, augmented reality, graphics, computer vision and imaging, audio-visual signal processing, natural language processing and affective computing.
