A powerful legacy; a visionary future
SRI’s Artificial Intelligence Center has driven seminal breakthroughs in AI since the earliest days of the field, including the first mobile-robot (Shakey) and the widely used A* and RANSAC algorithms. Our researchers build on this legacy as we continue to push the boundaries of AI in autonomy, bioinformatics, personal assistants and machine learning.

A Framework for understanding and Visualizing Strategies of RL Agents
We present a framework for learning comprehensible models of sequential decision tasks in which agent strategies are characterized using temporal logic formulas.

Experimental Evaluation of Subject Matter Expert-Oriented Knowledge Base Authoring Tools
We describe a large-scale experiment in which non-artificial intelligence subject matter experts (SMEs)—with neither artificial intelligence background nor extensive training in the task—author knowledge bases (KBs) following a challenge problem specification with a strong question-answering component.

Outcome-Guided Counterfactuals for Reinforcement Learning Agents from a Jointly Trained Generative Latent Space
We present a novel generative method for producing unseen and plausible counterfactual examples for reinforcement learning (RL) agents based upon outcome variables that characterize agent behavior.
“SRI’s got that rare mix of people, creativity, technical diversity and excellence, and flexibility to pursue longer-range goals. Of course there are no guarantees, but SRI provides the tools for a motivated person to make things happen.”
