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.
Texting while you're driving is irresponsible and dangerous. This smart AI system could help crack down on it.
While texting and driving is illegal, many people are still tempted to send a quick message while behind the wheel.
But a new AI has been designed that could stop you from doing so.
The incredible system can accurately determine when drivers are distracted at the wheel, and could one day be used to develop protective measures. Read the full story
