About Us
The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory is an internationally-known research group of digital libraries, intelligent retrieval, collaborating computing, and knowledge management.
Leadership in Artificial Intelligence
Located at The University of Arizona, in the Management Information Systems (MIS) Department, the Artificial Intelligence Lab is headed by Dr. Hsinchun Chen. The Lab is known for its adaptation and development of scalable and practical artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistical analysis, computational linguistics, and visualization techniques.
AI Lab History
Founded in 1990, the Lab is a major research group within the MIS department and has boasted as many of forty-five staff members, including Ph.D.-level researchers and research scientists, assistants, and programmers. Staff members have specialized over the years in digital libraries, database integration, collaborative computing, knowledge management, Internet/Intranet technologies, and intelligent information retrieval in accordance with demand and the directions of new science.
Staff and students participate in all aspects of working in and managing the Lab including: designing and conducting research; designing and implementing user studies; developing systems and system architectures in support of research objectives; writing articles and chapters for publication; presenting research results at national and international conferences; and writing grant proposals for new and emerging areas of research in the Lab.

AI Lab Research and Resources
The Lab is equipped with over 25 high-end workstations, an SGI supercomputer (Origin2000), and high-speed networking equipment. Research development platforms have ranged from supercomputers (CM-5, HP Convex Exemplar, SGI Power Challenge and Origin2000), to workstations (Silicon Graphics, HP, and DEC Alpha), and Pentium-based Windows/NT. Extensive C, C++, CGI, and JAVA system engineering projects have been underway for the past several years. View the Facilities page for details on our current equipment, and Research for more information about our projects.
The Lab has received has received more than $25 million in research funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), and other agencies and corporations over the past 15 years. Corporate sponsors have included Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SiliconGraphics Computer Systems (SGI), 3Com, and AT&T.
