The Computer Vision & Machine Intelligence Group is concerned with understanding and construction of complex systems whose underlying computation utilizes to a substantial degree methods proper to or closely associated with artificial intelligence. Examples of these methods are heuristic search, knowledge representation, logical and probabilistic inference, statistical and structural pattern recognition, and evolutionary computation. Special emphasis will be given to Computer Vision and AI applications to Bioinformatics.
The scope of the group includes, but is not restricted to, the
application of artificial intelligence to problems in engineering,
medicine, natural sciences, education, economics & finance, and law.
The group is envisioned to:
-
be globally-competitive in research areas such as vision-based interfaces for human-computer communication, machine learning, robot vision, machine translation and understanding of languages, and speech
-
foster interdisciplinary research and cross-pollination of ideas through coordination with researchers from fields other than computer science and engineering, such as biology, psychology, linguistics, and medicine.
-
provide promising researchers with sufficient resources so that they could undertake research in areas of applied AI that exhibit strong potential for publication in international journals and presentation in international conferences and are highly relevant to Philippine conditions.
This group was set up as IntSys on July 29, 1999 and renamed to CVMIG on January 1, 2000.
