The
Intelligent Information Systems Institute began operation in December of 2000;
the Director is Carla P. Gomes. Its
mandate is threefold: To perform
and stimulate research in compute- and data-intensive methods for intelligent
decision making systems; to foster collaborations between Cornell researchers,
the Institute’s sponsors, and the scientific community; and to play a
leadership role in the research and dissemination of the core areas of the
Institute.
IISI
is modeled after national research institutes such as the DIMACS Center for
Discrete Mathematics. The
Institute promotes research collaborations with our sponsors and the research
community at large. Activities supported by the Institute include research
collaborations and projects, visiting scientists, working groups, conferences
and workshops, special programs on specific topics and challenge problems,
technical reports, and other publications.
IISI supports basic research within the
Faculty of Computing and Information Science (FCIS) and promotes a cross
fertilization of approaches from different disciplines, including Operations
Research, Mathematics, Statistics and Physics.
There are several areas of research across these different disciplines
within IISI:
Search and Complexity
Combinatorial
Optimization
Planning and
Scheduling
Knowledge
Representation
Data Mining
and Information Retrieval
Reasoning
under Uncertainty
Natural
Language Processing
Machine
Learning
