Hi Laurent,

I'm a graduate from Edinburgh University and can say that their AI research
is quite substantial. I've had a guy from MIT tell me that Edinburgh in
terms of informatics (CS + AI + CogSci there) is one of if now the best at
what it does. There are quite a large number of postgrad courses and
students there so why not bear it in mind: www.inf.ed.ac.uk

Good luck with your studies!

Alex
