Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer science dedicated to building smart tools capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence.
From virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa to advanced chatbots like ChatGPT and Google search algorithms, AI is already an integral part of our daily lives, often working behind the scenes to simplify complex tasks.
Structural Engineering is a discipline with deep roots, formalized over two centuries ago through physics and mathematical models.
While traditionally considered a “conservative” sector, it has consistently evolved to tackle massive challenges, from skyscrapers to long-span bridges.
Today, the industry is ready to move beyond traditional formulations to embrace more flexible, modern approaches for complex, non-linear problems.
Founded by Prof. G.C. Marano, the ArtIStE Research Group explores the intersection of AI and Structural Engineering to design the smart cities and infrastructures of the future. Our work leverages cutting-edge methods such as:
Implementation of evolutionary and metaheuristic algorithms for advanced structural optimization tasks.
Application of neural networks, fuzzy systems, and expert systems for complex informed modeling.
Development of data-driven approaches using classification, regression, and reinforcement learning techniques.
We aim to be a leading dissemination channel for scientific research, providing researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts with the latest advances in AI-driven engineering.
Beyond sharing knowledge and promoting keynote events, ArtIStE serves as a hub for establishing new international collaborations between institutions and experts worldwide.
