- A recent posting asked about top schools in AI. I would rate UMass
- as one of the best; We have faculty in the following areas:
-
- Edwina Rissland - AI and Law, Case-Based Reasoning
- Bev Woolf - AI and Education
- Paul Cohen - Planning, Expert Systems, AI Methodology
- Paul Utgoff - Machine Learning
- Ed Riseman - Computer Vision
- Al Hanson - Computer Vision
- Wendy Lehnert - Natural Language Processing, Case-Based Reasoning
- Victor Lesser - Distributed AI, Planning
- Andrew Barto - Connectionism
- Bruce Croft - Intelligent Information Retrieval
- Robin Popplestone - Robotics
- Rod Grupen - Robotics
-
- We also have several AI post-docs, and about 80 students working on
- their Ph.D's in AI (out of 160 Ph.D. students in all). In addition,
- we have the largest number of grants of any public university (I believe
- we are close to the top among private universities as well). All
- incoming students are guaranteed an assistantship [I'm not sure if
- this is still official policy, but I don't know of any cases in which
- it is false]. The university also has one of the best linguistics
- departments in the country, and a good program in psychology and
- philosophy. Finally, this area is a beautiful place to live.
