Artificial intelligence (AI) is giving researchers at the University of Waterloo new insights to help reduce wear-and-tear injuries and boost the productivity of skilled construction workers.
At the Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS 2017) Prof. Alexander Wong (Canada Research Chair in Medical Imaging Systems) and his PhD student Devinder Kumar won the Best Paper Award from the Transparent and Interpretable Machine Learning in Safety Critical Environments workshop. NIPS is the premiere conference in machine learning hosting over 6000 machine learning experts and industrial participants from top organizations including Google, Microsoft, IBM, Nvidia, and Tesla.
Researchers at the University of Waterloo in Canada have made a breakthrough in artificial intelligence(AI). New machine learning algorithms, along with compact computer chips small enough to fit on a mobile phone, have allowed for an AI to run independent of the Internet.
Canada's University of Waterloo has revealed plans to bring its research prowess to Hong Kong, with a focus on artificial intelligence. The university has signed an agreement with HKUST to develop teaching, research and experiential exchanges and is in discussions with industry and government representatives covering its operational AI concept Waterloo.ai Alpha.
Technology developed at the University of Waterloo is paving the way for artificial intelligence (AI) to break free of the internet and cloud computing. Read the full story
At the University of Waterloo, research is being done into the use of wireless systems, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to recognize gestures and ultimately simplify the control of various machinery and equipment.
MONTREAL, Oct. 10, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - The Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development of Canada, the Honourable Navdeep Bains, announced today that nine applicants have been shortlisted in the second phase of the Innovation Superclusters Initiative.
New software developed at the University of Waterloo aims to give insight to regulators and financial firms into the predictions made by self-teaching algorithms that are otherwise something of a mystery from the outside, the Waterloo, Ont.-based institution announced on Friday.
The Rubik’s Cube is one of those toys that just won't go away. Solving it is either something you can do in minutes to impress, or find so hard you end up using it as a paperweight.
Can software learn how to solve the cube all on its own? It’s an interesting problem that Jeremy Pinto, a systems design engineering master’s student who recently graduated from the University of Waterloo, Canada, decided to crack. He wanted to see if a neural network could figure out how to solve a Rubik’s Cube.
A medical artificial intelligence (AI) startup was named one of 2017’s 20 most innovative technology companies by the Canadian Innovation Exchange (CIX) earlier this month.
