Artificial intelligence
Term by definition
Can be defined as "the study and design of intelligent agents". Intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success.
RCSUEX - Certainty Representation of the Exploratory Success
The process involves drilling for oil in their interpretation and decision phase, the analysis of information and a number of factors. A lot of this information is subject to imperfections of various kinds (knowledge incomplete, imprecise and uncertain), which makes this process full of doubts and uncertainties. The first big question in exploratory activity, concerns the question of where, within a sedimentary basin, or a block, can and can not be accumulations of oil? This project will consist of six steps: The first step is to Requirements Engineering, whose goal is the complete understanding of the problem. The second step is the prototyping and Analysis Methods for Treatment of Imperfection Information, whose objective is to investigate possible alternatives for addressing the problem...
Ant Colony Optimization in Continuous Domains
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a meta heuristic based on the foraging behavior of ants. It was initially proposed to solve discrete combinatorial optimization problems. In this project we study some ACO techniques developed to continuous domains problems, comparing the features of classical discre...
Seismic Inversion
Seismic inversion is the process of transforming seismic reflection data into a quantitative rock property description of a reservoir. Seismic inversion may be pre-or post-stack, deterministic, stochastic or geostatistical, and typically includes other reservoir measurements such as well logs and co...
Officialy founded at may 5th of 2000, this lab combines researchers of Computer Sciences at various fields such as: Artificial Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computation, Game Theory and Logic. Aimed at studying the cognition emergence by Nature inspired paradigms, starting by connectionism making a bridge between symbolic, connectionist and evolutive approaches of Artificial Intelligence. More than a workplace, the lab intends to be a group of researchers linked by common interests without physical frontiers.
