Lab Description
|
The Intelligent Systems Laboratory is a unit of the Department of
Electronic and Computer Engineering, Technical University of Crete,
Chania, Crete, Greece.
The role of this laboratory is to educate
undergraduate and graduate students in the concepts and techniques of
modern Intelligent Systems and to carry out cutting-edge research in
this area. Current research work spans many areas,
such as Multimedia and Web information systems, Semantic Web, Machine
Learning, Robotics, Bioinformatics, Computer vision,
Peer-to-Peer computing and Intelligent Agents.
The laboratory is funded by the Technical University of Crete and various Greek and European funding

CretaMASSS-2013/HAISS’13-Agents, this July (22-26), @ ECE-TUC
The first ever IFAAMAS-sponsored Multiagent Systems Summer School in Greece, CretaMASSS-2013, will be held at the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering of the Technical University of Crete, at Chania, Crete, Greece, from the 22nd to the 26th of July 2013.
We are pleased to announce that CretaMASSS-2013 is endorsed and co-organized by the Computational Social Choice ICT COST Action IC1205. The event is also endorsed by EURAMAS and ACM-SIGART. Moreover, we are pleased to announce that the event has also been endorsed by the Hellenic AI Society (EETN- Ελληνική Εταιρεία Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης); after this endorsement, the official title of the School is “CretaMASSS-2013/HAISS’13-Agents”, since it also incarnates the 3rd, Agents-themed version of the bi-annual Hellenic Artificial Intelligence Summer School (HAISS’13-Agents).
CretaMASSS-2013/HAISS’13-Agents offers a well-balanced tutorial curriculum, covering topics such as Teamwork, Information Sharing in Large MAS, Game Theory, Economies and Markets, the Smart Grid, Robotics, and Agent-Based Software Development.
The event will have the form of half-day tutorials (TU), 3-4 hours long each, along with at least one panel discussion session, and along with specific short (30 mins or 1 hour long) research talks (RT).

Podcast at IEEE Spectrum reports on Lab member's Dr. Chalkiadakis research on designing an artificial football manager
"The Computer that beat 2 million humans at Fantasy Football [...]For decades, artificial intelligence was a field full of promise but little visible progress. [...] Now, researchers in the U.K. and Greece are hard at work trying to create the best player in the world at fantasy football, a game that attracts millions of people worldwide. They expect it to reap benefits for what they say are surprisingly similar tasks, such as how best to dispatch emergency responders."

Artificial Fantasy Football Manager beats millions of human players.
An article co-authored by Intelligence Lab member Assistant Professor Georgios Chalkiadakis
(along with a colleague from the University of Southampton and his student),
on designing an artificial football (soccer) manager that ranks among the top 1% of 2.5 million (human) players
on the official English Fantasy Football League website run by the English Premier League, has received wide publicity by
(a) firstly, the New Scientist magazine:
the New Scientist magazine ;
(b) secondly, by
the ESPN magazine ;
(c) thirdly, by
the CNET tech media website ;
and, last but not least,
(d) by
the Sun and the Daily Mail newspapers.
The article, downloadable at http://www.intelligence.tuc.gr/~gehalk/Papers/fantasyFootball2012cr.pdf
will be presented in AAAI-2012 in Toronto, Canada, later this month. In the meantime, you can read yet another
news item on this work at http://www.southampton.ac.uk/mediacentre/news/2012/jul/12_117.shtml.
