  1. Artificial Intelligence Tibor Bosse FACULTY OF SCIENCES

  2. Overview • Master Specialisations • General facts • Duration, Credit Points, … • Graduation project • Job perspectives • Financial Issues

  3. Overview • Master Specialisations • General facts • Duration, Credit Points, … • Graduation project • Job perspectives • Financial Issues

  4. Specialisations • Cognitive Science • Human Ambience (started 2010/11)‏ • Computational Intelligence & Selforganisation • Technical Artificial Intelligence • Knowledge Technology & Intelligent Internet Applications • International Semantic Web Master

  5. Cognitive Science (Co-operation between FPP en FEW)

  6. What is Cognitive Science? Two main goals: • AI  Psy (Use AI-techniques to study cognitive processes)‏ • Psy  AI (Use cognitive processes to make computers more intelligent)‏

  7. AI  Psychology The approach (roughly): • Starting point: Psychological theory • Formalise as a Computer model • Make predictions based on this model • Compare predictions with reality (empirical data)‏ • Difference: Improve theory

  8. AI  Psychology: Master Project • Master Project: Rianne van Lambalgen • Supervisors: Sander Los (Psy) &Tibor Bosse (AI)‏ • Result: computer model for conditioning • Kind of associative learning • Example: reaction to starting signal (“ready…go”)‏

  9. AI  Psychology: Master Project

  10. What is Cognitive Science? Two main goals: • AI  Psy (Use AI-techniques to study cognitive processes)‏ • Psy  AI (Use cognitive processes to make computers more intelligent)‏

  11. Psychology  AI Approach (roughly): • Inspiration: Psychological theory • Formalise as a computer model • Integrate model into system • To exhibit human behaviour (eg Computer person)‏ • To provide knowledge about humans (eg Personal Assistant)‏ • Evaluate the system’s behaviour

  12. Psychology  AI: Master Project • Master Project: Jeremy Soumokil • Supervisor: Mark Hoogendoorn • Goal: build an opponent for an online game, who anticipates players’ moves. • Method: using the concept “Theory of Mind” • Reason about what the player is thinking • Predict actions of the player, and anticipate on this

  15. Psychology  AI: Master Project • BDI model

  16. Human Ambience(started 2010-2011)‏

  17. What is Human Ambience‏? • New Master program • Based on the idea of ‘Ambient Intelligence’ • Develop an Intelligent Environment, which supports the human in his/her daily life • Intelligent Car • Intelligent House • Intelligent Workspace • Intelligent Phone • …

  18. Human Ambience‏ - Courses • 30 ECTS specialisation in discipline or topic • Criminology • Health • Mental functioning • Movement sciences • Social functioning • Specific Human Ambience courses: • HA Innovation • Model-Based Intelligent Environments

  19. Computational Intelligence and Self Organisation Ziezo!

  20. What is CISO? • Two main themes: • Computational Intelligence • Evolutionary Computing • Data Mining Techniques • Self-organising distributed systems • Advanced Selforganisation • Model and Analyse these systems

  21. Inspiration – Bird Flocking

  22. Different Profiles • Biology • Dynamic Energy Budgets, Evolutionary genetics, Evolutionary Biology • Bio-informatics • Algorithms for Genomes, Bioinformatics data analysis and tools, Intercellular Networks, Computational Genomics and Proteomics • Computer systems • Distributed Systems, Cluster and Grid Computing, Distributed Algorithms • Knowledge representation • Intelligent Web Applications, Ontology Engineering

  23. CISO: Example Master Project Master Project: Self-organised train dispatching Supervisor: Martijn Schut Organisation: Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) Goal: Reducing secondary delay Problem: too complex to plan Solution: self-organisation, modelling...

  24. Technical Artificial Intelligence

  25. What is Technical AI? • Only for students with Ba Computer Science! • AI: trying to realise human intelligence on a computer • AI: different perspectives • cognitive psychology • theoretical  logic • technical  computer science

  26. Goals TAI • Getting familiar with developments within AI and CS • Learning how to make Intelligent Applications • Design eg. • A knowledge based system • A multi-agent system • A learning system …

  27. TAI: Example Master Project • Master Project: Sven Stam • Supervisor: Tibor Bosse • Goal: design ‘norm enforcing’ agent to prevent bullying in virtual societies • Method: • agent-based modelling • ‘follow’ detection module • language processing module • reputation maintainance module

  28. TAI: Example Master project • Screenshot

  29. Knowledge Technology and Intelligent Internet Applications (KTIIA)‏

  30. What is KTIIA? The programme focuses on • knowledge technology: the technical aspects of designing knowledge systems • knowledge management: organisational aspects of knowledgecreation, distribution, application and maintenance • applicationsof techniques from knowledge technology and knowledge management tothe Internet.

  31. Example projects: an academic hospital: modelling of medical protocols for illnesses of infants an Internet company: recommendations about products on the Web an accountancy checking for: fraud detection • a personal start-up:knowledge-based advisor for stopping with smoking Dutch search engine company: Semantic Web search engine

  32. Semantic Web WEB as a big knowledge base:“Semantic Web” Techniques from AI are crucial for this new generation of the Web. Hot!

  33. KTIIA: Example Master Project ‏ • Project: Jacopo Urbani • Supervisor: Frank van Harmelen • Goal: reasoning over billions of information units on the web of data • Tool: using cluster of 100s of machines • Split data • Do reasoning on parts of the data • Shuffle data around... • Result: fastest existing reasoner with webdata

  34. KTIIA: Example Master Project ‏

  35. KTIIA: Example Master Project ‏

  36. European Academy for Semantic-Web Education (EASE) European-level Master of Science (MSc)‏
