KAIST-Mila Prefrontal AI Research Center Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
Welcome to the Machine Learning and Mind Lab (MLML) at KAIST. Our research aims to “develop machine learning algorithms for human-like general artificial intelligence” that can help us solve the hard problems of humanity. We seek to achieve this by creating learning algorithms fundamental to perception, cognition, and action. We hope that this computational approach will also shed light on the inner workings of the human mind.
