LABORATORY OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS Coordinator: Prof. Giovambattista Ianni
The Applications of Artificial Intelligence Lab (LAIA, in Italian) aims to provide with services and solutions based on advanced artificial intelligence techniques both the entire network of laboratories of the University and the market. The Department of Mathematics, hosting the LAIA, has an internationally acknowledged leadership in the area of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) and Answer Set Programming (ASP), and coordinates the development of state-of-the-art software in the field. The LAIA relies on the strong expertise of the structure and has, as a primary objective, the goal of deploying reasoning and automated learning modules to be used both for decision support and as unsupervised decision units within intelligent systems. 1
