The Institute for Computational Intelligence (ICI) at Hampshire College supports advanced artificial intelligence research by Hampshire College undergraduates and UMassAmherst computer science graduate students in collaboration with faculty through courses, independent study activities, and interactions with the broader research community. Utilizing facilities that include The Hampshire College Cluster Computing Facility, ICI members have produced a large number of collaborative publications and other project results. (Publications with undergraduate coauthors can be found by searching for the tag "undergraduate coauthor" on the publications page.) ICI has received generous support from Hampshire College and from grants to Lee Spector.

Research activities are coordinated through regular meetings of the Computational Intelligence Lab (CI Lab) group, the current membership of which includes:

Lee Spector (director)
Thomas Helmuth (UMass PhD student)
Emma Tosch (Umass PhD student)
Kwaku Yeboah Antwi (Hampshire College alumnus)
Omri Bernstein (Hampshire College undergraduate)
Zeke Nierenberg (Hampshire College undergraduate)

Also recently affiliated: Scott Niekum, Daniel Gerow, Kyle Harrington, Brian Martin, Nathan Whitehouse
