Toward Operational Artificial Intelligence: Anywhere, Anyplace, Anytime

Professor ALEXANDER WONG
BASc 2005, Computer Engineering
MASc 2007, Electrical & Computer Engineering
PhD 2010, Systems Design Engineering

Deep learning has given rise to a major revolution in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).  As a result, a number of important questions arises with respect to how AI would impact our lives: What are the practical uses of artificial intelligence and how can it give the Canadian economy the push it needs without relying on the giant tech companies? A major challenge with the democratization and proliferation of deep learning as operational AI for all is the sheer complexity of current deep neural networks, making them ill-suited for operational use in a large number of scenarios. This talk explores the idea of how we can take the big ideas in AI and bring it into operational scenarios that can benefit anyone, anywhere, anytime, anyplace.

Professor Alexander Wong is the Canada Research Chair in Medical Imaging Systems, is the Director of the Vision and Image Processing Research Group at the University of Waterloo and is a professor in the Department of Systems Design Engineering, the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering and the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science.
