This proposal describes an Engineering Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (AI) committed to conduct research in basic AI topics and to apply AI techniques to selected application areas --- namely, oil and gas industry, agribusiness, and health. The Center will also fund studies on the social and economic impact of AI, and will carry activities aimed at technology transfer and kno…
The goal of this project is to develop inference and learning techniques for probabilistic logic programs, with an eye on the scalable automatic induction of probabilistic rules from large knowledge bases. Such techniques have applications in information search and retrieval, automated diagnosis, decision and recommendation systems - applications that benefit from large and accurate knowl…
Among the several possible forms of rational reasoning, logical reasoning and probabilistic inference have received particular attention in practive, having been incorporated both in modeling situations of the world and in computer programs aimed at performing a variety of tasks. However, the possible interactions between these forms of reasoning are not very well understood yet, both in…

The objective of this research is to develop a methodology that allows the detection of typical patterns of argumentation in texts, such as modus ponens, modus tollens and syllogisms. In order to do this, I will combine resources from logic and argumentation theory with natural processing language techniques and neural network models. The methodology will be based on supervised learning, …
The project aims to collect primary and secondary qualitative and quantitative data on research, institutions and the academic production related to core of Artificial Intelligence research in order to understand the socio-political historical development of this scientific area. The collected data will be displayed on an interactive data visualization platform that will serve as a reposi…

Recent advances in the Science and Technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have brought back a debate about the future of AI in society and culture. The studies about AI and society, nevertheless, do not yet pay much attention to the public debate that took place in the United Kingdom and the United States in the turn from the 1940's to the 1950's. A leading role was played back then b…
The primary objective of this project is to make an in-depth evaluation of how much the tests based on the Winograd schemes embrace the phenomenon of common sense in dealing with the semantic problem of ambiguity. Although common sense is a phenomenon constantly present in human life, it is a phenomenon of difficult characterization, whether in Philosophy, Social Sciences or Artificial In…
The goal of this project is to develop inference and learning techniques for proba- bilistic logic programs, with an eye on the scalable automatic induction of proba- bilistic rules from large datasets. Such techniques have applications in information search and retrieval, automated diagnosis, decision and recommendation systems - applications that benefit from large and accurate knowledg…

The concept of consciousness, broadly understood as subjective experience, has been receiving increasing attention in philosophy and the cognitive sciences. Even if consciousness is never managed to be engineered into machines, humans will be forced to adopt a stance on the question of machine consciousness --- how will advanced intelligent machines be treated? Will they be seen as indepe…
