IDSIA is a non-profit research institute founded in 1988
to conduct basic research in artificial intelligence. It is affiliated
with both the University of Lugano and SUPSI. Our focus is on machine
learning (neural networks and reinforcement learning), operations
research, and robotics. We have two sister institutes: ISSCO, Geneva
(1973: Linguistic AI) and IDIAP, Martigny (1991: Perceptive AI). All
three were founded by the Fondazione Dalle Molle per la Qualita della
Vita. IDSIA is situated in Manno near Lugano, a lakeside city in the
Italian-speaking canton of Ticino, a region of Switzerland well known
for its warm climate and outstanding scenery. IDSIA receives basic
funding from the Swiss Confederation and Canton Ticino. Additional
funding derives from research contracts and other mandates.
