#### Community of Research
[**Cognitive AI Community of Research**](https://www.csail.mit.edu/research/cognitive-ai)
This CoR aims to develop AI technology that synthesizes symbolic reasoning, probabilistic reasoning for dealing with uncertainty in the world, and statistical methods for extracting and exploiting regularities in the world, into an integrated picture of intelligence that is informed by computational insights and by cognitive science.
