Professor Fakhri Karray, CPAMI director is the inaugural co-director of the Artificial Intelligence Institute at the University of Waterloo. The other co-director is Prof. Peter van Beek from Computer Science at the faculty of Math. The Institute will be formally launched on April 6, 2018.
On behalf of the IEEE WCCI 2018 Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the bi-annual IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (IEEE WCCI), which is the largest technical event in the field of computational intelligence.
The International Conference on Image Analysis and Recognition aims to bring together researchers in the fields of Image Processing, Image Analysis and Pattern Recognition. The conference will address recent advances in theory, methodologies and applications. The scientific program will include invited speakers and fully refereed contributions that will be published in the conference proceedings.
Professor Andrew K.C. Wong, Dr. Peiyuan Zhou and Mr. Antonio Sze-To are the recipients of the Best Paper Award at the 13th International Conference on Data Mining 2017 (DMIN'17) held in Las Vegas, USA.
Computer algorithms developed by engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo can accurately determine when drivers are texting or engaged in other distracting activities.
The system uses cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect hand movements that deviate from normal driving behavior and grades or classifies them in terms of possible safety threats.
Fakhri Karray, an electrical and computer engineering professor at Waterloo, said that information could be used to improve road safety by warning or alerting drivers when they are dangerously distracted.
CPAMI faculty member Professor William Melek will lead the Robohub research initiative, which is funded by Canadian Foundation for Innovation and the provinical government for a total budget of $4,600,000. CPAMI faculty members among others in the faculty of engineering will benefit greatly from this innovative facility.
