Research lab builds safer AI for real-world needs
Waterloo Engineering's Critical Machine Learning (ML) Lab is developing AI systems that are safer, more efficient and more equitable — with active applications in health care, aviation and climate action.
Dr. Sirisha Rambhatla, a professor in the Department of Management Science and Engineering, leads the lab's research. Her team works at the level of ML theory to predict and engineer it — so users can make safer, fairer decisions at lower computing costs and with less waste.
