AI is still comparatively young, and like every young interdisciplinary area, it evolves as new ideas and insights are revealed and new methods and techniques become available. IHMC researchers James Allen, Kenneth Ford, Clark Glymour, Patrick Hayes, Choh Man Teng, Brent Venable, and Yorick Wilks actively are interested in clarifying the philosophical foundations of AI and cognitive science. Rethinking the aims of AI Traditionally, the goal of artificial intelligence was the creation of a ‘human-level’ mechanical intelligence, a kind of simulated human being that could pass the Turing Test...

IHMC researchers develop conceptual and computational models of expert knowledge and reasoning, and of complex cognitive work, as a core element to the paradigm of human-centered computing. IHMC research in this area is conducted by Associate Director and Senior Research Scientist Alberto J. Cañas and Senior Research Scientists William J. Clancey and ...

IHMC researchers develop conceptual and computational models of expert knowledge and reasoning, and of complex cognitive work, as a core element to the paradigm of human-centered computing. IHMC research in this area is conducted by Associate Director and Senior Research Scientist Alberto J. Cañas and Senior Research Scientists William J. Clancey and Robert R. Hoffman. IHMC’s work on knowledge modeling involves representing a person’s understanding of a domain of knowledge in a form that others can easily comprehend. Such models are useful for learning, knowledge preservation, and organization of information. IHMC researchers have...

IHMC researchers are working on natural language computer interfaces and digital companions for conversational understanding, with the aim of developing computerized assistants that accommodate a range of abilities, desires, and needs of users through adaptable natural language processing.  Managing a variety of both spoken and written natural language phenomena and adaptation to conversational conventions...

IHMC researchers are working on natural language computer interfaces and digital companions for conversational understanding, with the aim of developing computerized assistants that accommodate a range of abilities, desires, and needs of users through adaptable natural language processing.  Managing a variety of both spoken and written natural language phenomena and adaptation to conversational conventions are central foci of research led by James Allen, Bonnie Dorr, and the late Yorick Wilks, and a team of internationally recognized scientists: Archna Bhatia, Adam Dalton, Greg Dubbin, Lucian Galescu, Kristy...
