Vrain Valencian Research Institute For Artificial Intelligence

The Valencian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (VRAIN), from the Universitat Politècnica de València is composed by 110 researchers belonging to 8 research groups: Enginyeria del Llenguatge i Reconeiximent de Formes (ELiRF), Automata, Formal Languages and its Applications (ALFA), Extensions of Logic Programming (ELP), Machine Learning and Language Processing (MLLP), Computer Technology and Artificial Intelligence (GTIIA) and Multiparadigm Software Technology (MIST), the Research Center on Software Production Methods (PROS), and the Laboratory of interactive technologies (VertexLit) of the Universitat Politècnica de València. With more than 30 years of experience in different lines of research in Artificial Intelligence (AI), the groups that make up VRAIN are national and international references in AI research and their results are supported by their extensive scientific production. In fact, with 130 researchers, VRAIN is one of the largest AI research centers in Spain. VRAIN's research activity revolves around twelve main research areas: Natural Language Processing, Planning and Reasoning, Software Verification and Analysis, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, Natural Computation, Computational Logic and Automatic Reasoning, Intelligent Agents and Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, Privacy and Security, Information Systems Engineering, Software Testing Engineering, Autonomic Computing, Self-Adaptation and Human Interaction, and Genomic Data Science and Genomic Information Systems. These research areas are applied to the development of innovative applications in a large number of strategic sectors such as health, agriculture, industry, privacy/security, autonomous robots, services and energy, and environmental sustainability. VRAIN has produced and continues to produce important scientific publications (more than 2,000 papers), many of which have been and are highly cited.
