Our AI group offers a unique research environment that blends the advantages of an academic setting with the ability to engage in principled engineering of long-term systems. Our research has been awarded distinctions for both publications and system building. [Distinctions]

Our projects encompass basic research in the context of challenging applications. Our involvement with real-world applications and deployed systems motivates algorithmic and theoretical research. Conversely, our basic research enables novel technologies to address challenging real-world problems. Our research is supported by a range of government funding agencies and corporate sources. [Funders]

Our research groups include senior researchers, USC graduate students, and research programmers. With students developing numerous novel ideas, our research programmers ensure that they are integrated into larger systems and relevant applications. [People]

Our researchers engage in collaborations to address larger questions in AI and to explore synergies with other disciplines. We have many on-going collaborative projects within our AI group, with other ISI groups, with other USC departments, and with many US and international institutions. [Research Overview]
