Overview

A central goal of the research is to develop intelligent agents, which have weak properties such as autonomy, social ability, reactivity, proactivity, temporal continuity and goal orientedness as well as strong properties such as mobility, benevolence, rationality, collaborative ability and adaptivity.
The Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Agents programme is offered by the Bangor University.
Past and current projects include knowledgeable agents, text mining, text categorization, question/answering, biomedical Information Retrieval systems, Welsh-English translation, believable agents (e.g. chatbots), and artificial life agents.

Programme Structure

This research theme addresses theoretical and applied research into artificial intelligence (AI) and intelligent autonomous agent systems, with specific focus on evolutionary algorithms, natural language processing and information retrieval.
Four PhD and 1 MPhil student completed in the REF period and currently there are 6 PhD students with projects in: Chinese and Arabic Natural Language Processing; information retrieval for peer to peer networks and motion capture data; agent-based modelling for Malaria; and conversational agents for e-learning. We were the first to develop a framework (jGE) for using Grammatical Evolution (GE) to evolve Java programs (this was prior to GEVA being produced by the Dublin GE research group). jGE has been downloaded by researchers from the USA, UK, Netherlands, Poland, Brazil and Colombia.
