About

Computational Intelligence (CI) is the theory, design, application and development of biologically and linguistically motivated computational paradigms. Traditionally the three main pillars of CI have been Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems and Evolutionary Computation. However, in time many nature inspired computing paradigms have evolved. Thus CI is an evolving field and at present in addition to the three main constituents, it encompasses computing paradigms like ambient intelligence, artificial life, cultural learning, artificial endocrine networks, social reasoning, and artificial hormone networks.

CI plays a major role in developing successful intelligent systems, including games and cognitive developmental systems. Over the last few years there has been an explosion of research on Deep Learning, in particular deep convolutional neural networks. Nowadays, deep learning has become the core method for artificial intelligence. In fact, some of the most successful AI systems are based on CI.

    Shivam Tripathi

    Research internship under the guidance of Prof. Nikhil R. Pal (President of CIS-IEEE). The research work focused on Manifold Learning for Data Visualization. During the period of two months I implemented a couple of data visualization algorithms (like t-SNE) and tried to improve upon them. Moreover, I studied and implemented various autoencoder algorithms to solve the similar problem.
