Marco Dorigo is a research director for the Belgian Funds for Scientific Research (FNRS), and a co-director of IRIDIA, the artificial intelligence lab of the Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles. He is the ambassador and the pioneer of the \u00ab\u00a0Ant Colony Optimization\u00a0\u00bb metaheuristic, and one of the founders of the Swarm Intelligence research field.<\/p>\n
The Ant Colony Optimization is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be reduced to finding good paths through graphs. Marco got inspired for this by studying the behaviour of ants in finding paths from the colony to food.<\/p>\n
The Swarm intelligence is an artificial intelligence technique based around the study of collective behavior in decentralized, self-organized systems.<\/p>\n
For these contributions, in 2003 he was awarded the \u00ab\u00a0Marie Curie Research Excellence Award\u00a0\u00bb by the European Commission and in 2005, he was presented the \u00ab\u00a0FNRS – Dr A. De Leeuw-Damry-Bourlart award in Applied Sciences\u00a0\u00bb by the King of Belgium, Albert II.<\/p>\n
He has also received the Italian Prize for Artificial Intelligence in 1996 by the Italian association for artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
