Institute of Information Theory and Automation
The Czech Academy of Sciences
We conduct basic and applied research and educate in Artificial Intelligence, Signal and Image Processing, Systems Science and Applied Mathematics.
Artificial
Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is a transformative field focused on developing algorithms and models that enable machines to perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. We integrate AI into all research areas pursued within the Institute, specializing in machine learning, natural language processing, knowledge representation, econometrics, and computer vision.
Signal and Image Processing
Signal and Image Processing is a field that focuses on the analysis, transformation, and interpretation of signals and images to extract meaningful information. We are engaged namely in texture analysis, image restoration, blind deconvolution, superresolution, and video tracking, and we also transfer the developed algorithms to embedded devices.
System
Science
Systems Science is an interdisciplinary field that studies complex, dynamic and adaptive systems, their behavior, and the principles governing their structure, functioning, and evolution. It provides a holistic framework for understanding how different components within a system interact to produce the system's overall behavior.

17/03/2025A series of Workshops on Uncertainty Processing (WUPES) has been held in the Czech Republic every third year since 1988. Proceedings from several previous workshops can be found on their websites (WUPES'22, WUPES'18, WUPES'15, WUPES'12, WUPES'09, and WUPES'06). Like the previous meetings, the forthcoming workshop will foster creative intellectual activities and exchange ideas in an informal atmosphere. Therefore, we aim at a limited number of participants (~40). We invite submissions of papers on topics such as Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence, Bayesian Networks, Conditional Independence, Stochastic Analysis, Algebraic Statistics, Information-Theoretical Inequalities, Combinatorial Methods for Secret Sharing, Fuzzy Analysis, Machine Learning, Decision Theory, Management Science, and related fields.
