- THE INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH
-
- The ISP is an independent degree-granting unit, providing a center
- for graduate training and research in Artificial Intelligence at the
- University of Pittsburgh. Drawing on faculty from many schools and
- departments, the Program offers a strong core of courses in AI and
- relevant areas of Computer Science, as well as access to many related
- fields and application areas. After initial course requirements are met
- in the first two years of study, there is wide flexibilty in planning
- research concentrations leading to the Ph.D. degree.
-
- The Program draws on research projects in many areas, including
- AI in Medicine, Expert Systems, and AI in Education. Among the areas of
- specialization that the Program features are:
-
- Case-Based Reasoning and Legal Applications
- Expert Systems
- Generating Natural Language Explanations
- Intelligent Computer-Assisted Instruction
- Knowledge Representation
- Machine Learning
- Medical Informatics
- Plan Generation and Plan Recognition
- Resource-Limited Reasoning
- Uncertain Reasoning
-
- Faculty from many schools and departments are involved in the
- Program, including: Kevin D. Ashley (Law), Bruce Buchanan (Computer
- Science), Gordon Banks (Neurology), Gregory F. Cooper (Medicine),
