Abstract
I am honoured to have this opportunity to speak at the First International Workshop on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS'01). I will present some of the research work undertaken at the KES Centre on hybrid intelligent systems and their applications. We have used a consortium of methodologies including artificial neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, intelligent agents and their fusion in a number of practical applications.
Some of the research projects undertaken by the KES Centre include intelligent landmine detection, knowledge-based techniques in tactical and information networks, logo recognition in intelligent environment, vision based neural networks in motion and target detection, intelligent tool to evaluate weather and terrain effects on vehicle operation, biological inspired antenna array design, knowledge-based performance evaluation system using simulation and live training practices, infantry tactics modeling in intelligent environment, tracking of distant airborne targets in cluttered background in infrared sequences, intelligent document classifier, teaming man and machine in tactical environment, and knowledge-based intelligent techniques in teaching. A number of these projects use hybrid intelligent techniques. I wish to present a selection of these projects with regard to hybrid intelligent techniques.
