VRAIN’s lines of research in AI are: natural language processing, planning and reasoning, software verification and analysis, machine learning and deep learning, natural computing, logic computing and automatic reasoning, intelligent agents and human-centered artificial intelligence, privacy and security, information systems engineering, test software engineering, autonomic computing, self-adaptation and human interaction, data science and genome information systems.
According to Vicente Botti, director of VRAIN, «the recognition as a University Institute has been the reward for a long trajectory of hard work and a visionary and avant-garde bet of those who are part of it. Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence is everywhere, but we have been researching and applying it for more than 30 years. Therefore, we are very proud to have contributed to the advancement of technology in this field. Now, with the establishment of the VRAIN University Institute, we are convinced that we will be able to take on much more ambitious challenges.
