Charles Isbell

by NPR Source of the Week

Charles Isbell is Senior Associate Dean and professor at Georgia Tech’s College of Computing and an expert in artificial intelligence. To let his bio explain:

Dr. Isbell’s research passion is artificial intelligence. In particular, he focuses on applying statistical machine learning to building autonomous agents that must live and interact with large numbers of other intelligent agents, some of whom may be human.

Lately, Dr. Isbell has turned his energies toward adaptive modeling, especially activity discovery (as distinct from activity recognition); scalable coordination; and development environments that support the rapid prototyping of adaptive agents. As a result he has begun developing adaptive programming languages, worrying about issues of software engineering, and trying to understand what it means to bring machine learning tools to non-expert authors, designers, and developers.

Senior Associate Dean at the College of Computing, Professor of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology
