Logic
Term by definition
Logic is used for knowledge representation and problem solving, but it can be applied to other problems as well. For example, the satplan algorithm uses logic for planning and inductive logic programming is a method for learning.
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 discrete ACO to the continuous extension. We proposed some own extensions that we believe being more close to the original idea of ACO and that returned better results comparing with others researches.
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...
BIOBOTS - Inspiração Biológica e a Emergência da Inteligência
Throughout this paper we tried to study how to reveal aspects of intelligence RMIs models inspired by nature, such as Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) and RNAs. This alone constituted an extremely important and original contribution, because the amount of work in the world that seek to address the prob...
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.
