Cornell University's new Intelligent Information Systems Institute shows how far the university has come in its involvement in artificial intelligence, which was nonexistent on the campus not too long ago. The institute is the result of a $5 million, five-year grant from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research. In addition to conducting research into helping computers handle enormous amounts of data and problems that involve numerous choices, the researchers will focus on game theory, information retrieval, and automatic verification of software and hardware. Visiting scientists will be heavily involved at the institute with Cornell computer scientists and other faculty in operations research, applied economics, mathematics, and engineering. The facility has a dedicated computer cluster comprised of a cluster of 12 Intel processors operating in parallel that can be accessed from the computer terminals. The institute is about collaboration between scientists, says director Carla Gomes, associate professor of computing and information science and applied economics and management.
