Icelandic Institute for Intelligent Machines

Advanced Machine Learning

We are developing continuous learning methods that can handle large data quantities, high-dimensional state spaces and continuous action spaces. In collaboration with CADIA at Reykjavik University we are testing these in the context of realtime dialogue, a complex field with plenty of challenges. Our plan is to develop a fully autonomous radio show host that [...]

Agent-Based Simulation

Our work focuses on methodology and software that enable creation and continuous expansion of complex agent-based simulations. We are collaborating with Reykjavik University’s School of Engineering and School of Business on several avenues in this work, with a focus on greenhouse emissions trading, open economies and human communicative interaction.

Building Networks

The “A.I. problem” is too big for a single researcher to solve, a single team and even a single university. After 50 years of research, and progress slower than most of us had wanted, we are are working on methods for speeding up advances. One of these efforts is a collaboration with A.I. consortia, including [...]

In Local News (Video): IIIM Director’s Collaboration with HONDA on ASIMO robot Research

Interview about the research collaboration on the famed ASIMO humanoid robot. The work relies on Psyclone, middleware that mediates between disparate modules; vision, speech, spatio-temporal understanding mechanisms and Asimo’s body. Psyclone supports Thórisson’s Constructionist Design Methodology—applied in developing the Cognitive Map Architecture (PDF) which coordinates Asimo’s interpersonal behaviors.
