What is the core of your work on AI?
For most of my career, I’ve worked on how to get machines to be more intelligent. My work has covered almost every area of AI learning, reasoning, planning, vision, speech, language, etc. Some overarching themes have included methods for making good decisions with limited computational resources, algorithms capable of making plans over very long timescales and algorithms for reasoning under uncertainty on very complex problems an example is the new global seismic monitoring system for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.

Land degradation’ was earlier thought of as a loss in the productive capacity of land, quantified in terms of the lost yield potential for crops or a loss in grazing systems. In these understandings though, there is a market value that allows us to quantify the impact of land degradation. However, my research on ‘countryside biogeography’ encompasses the loss of other aspects of productive c
