The IAI Lab is mostly made up of the pfunk research group, a diverse group of researchers and researchers-in-training. Our backgrounds range from systems to cognitive science to algorithmic machine learning to good old fashioned AI and several places outside and in between. The p in pfunk stands for probablistic. Depending upon whom you ask, the funk is functional knowledge, frameworks for understanding new knowledge, foundations for understanding knowledge, framing for the unknown, or any of several other variations.

Legend
	This is probably obvious to anyone familar with the pfunk mythology, but for the rest of you: Lollypop: undergraduate Atlantean: moved beyond undergraduate Clone: moved beyond the Ph.D. qualifer Pill: moved beyond the Ph.D. proposal Pyramid: has learned the secrets of the funk and earned a Ph.D. Maggot Brain: has transcended beyond troubles and earned tenure
