Congratulation to our Brazilian colleagues on the launch of their Advanced Institute for Artificial Intelligence.
We look forward to working together in the near future!
The focus of Waterloo.AI is to collaborate with industry partners to seize opportunities to lead interdisciplinary AI research and application in emerging areas; enable conditions that support impact in the AI sector; and build a better awareness around the world of Waterloo’s AI research expertise.
“The University of Waterloo is another university among the top computer science programs, globally. It’s become a hot spot on the PanCanadian AI Strategy map and known as Toronto’s “AI twin” devoted to applied research.”
Fewer than half of 100 machine-learning patents developed in Canada remain here: CIGI study
In its push to develop Artificial Intelligence, Canada could become a major player in a technology that will be crucial to the global balance of power.
Waterloo.AI Institute partnership with Microsoft Canada was highlighted in an article by Jean-Philippe Courtois, EVP and President, Microsoft Global Sales,Marketing & Operations at Microsoft .
University of Waterloo has hit the headlines again! The university was recently was named as one of the Americas' 5 most innovative universities for AI and robotics!
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA
2. Carnegie Mellon University, USA
3. University of Southern California (USC), USA
4. University of Waterloo, Canada
5. University of São Paulo, Brazil
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is making it possible to discover new drugs faster, cheaper and more efficiently.
Waterloo chemists have introduced AI to interpret the results acquired by the differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) technique to predict drug properties. This could reduce in principle the time between concept and coming to market of new drugs by years and decrease production costs by $100s of million.
Alexander Wong, a Canada Research Chair in the field of Artificial Intelligence and an associate professor in the Department of Systems Deign Engineering, is interviewed in The O'Reilly Data Show on his research on designing a human-in-the-loop platform for building deep neural networks with efficient network architectures.
Unlike with traditional software, we don't always have an exact idea of how AI works. And in numerous scenarios, the opacity of deep-learning algorithms has caused larger troubles.
Using AI to understand AI is a topic explored by Prof. Alexander Wong of the System Design Engineering department in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Prof. Wong is the Canada Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence and Medical Imaging. He is also a co-founder of DarwinAI along with Sheldon Fernandez. DarwinAI is a startup located in Waterloo Ontario.
