IDSIA's research focuses on
optimal universal search algorithms
(e.g., OOPS),
artificial
recurrent
neural networks,
universal
predictors and reinforcement learners,
complexity and generalization issues,
unsupervised learning and information theory,
forecasting,
artificial ants and
combinatorial optimization,
evolutionary computation.
IDSIA is small but visible, competitive, and influential.
Its algorithms hold the world records for
several important operations research benchmarks (e.g.,
see NATURE 406(6791):39-42 for
an overview of IDSIA's artificial ant algorithms).
Some of IDSIA's results were reviewed not only in
science journals such as Nature, Science, Scientific American,
but also in the popular press, including TIME magazine, the New York Times,
der SPIEGEL, and many others.
