Better language algorithms mean better AI and better machines. Dr. Xiaodan Zhu is at the forefront of this movement. As announced in January 2021, the Mitchell Professors are five engineering researchers, funded by a gift from Bruce Mitchell, Sc’68, DSc’20, to explore the frontiers of how humanity and machines coexist. The Mitchell Professors reside in …
Integrating nature and robotics, from slithering to swarms. Dr. Matt Robertson is the Mitchell Professor reinventing robots via the natural world. As announced in January 2021, the Mitchell Professors are five engineering researchers, funded by a gift from Bruce Mitchell, Sc’68, DSc’20, to explore the frontiers of how humanity and machines coexist. The Mitchell Professors …
Queen’s Engineering is reinventing our understanding of machines; from how they think, to how they move, to how they – and we – feel. As announced in January 2021, the Mitchell Professors are five engineering researchers, funded by a gift from Bruce Mitchell, Sc’68, DSc’20, to explore the frontiers of how humanity and machines coexist. …

“Off-road vehicles – and autonomous driving — are some of the many areas that Ingenuity Labs was founded to focus on,” says Josh Marshall, Director at Ingenuity Labs. “We have some of the continent’s leading researchers, both at the faculty and graduate student level, working on exactly these kinds of challenges. The AutoDrive Challenge will …
Dr. Joshua Marshall, Interim Director of the Ingenuity Labs Research Institute, joined Amber Mac for an episode of the This Is Mining podcast to chat about the robot revolution and why it’s already here. It’s an exciting time for robotics and autonomous vehicle technologies in the mining sector because new technologies are transforming the industry …
Whether we like it or not, the robot era is already upon us. The question is: Is the Canadian economy poised to flourish or flounder in a world where robots take over the tasks we don’t want to do ourselves? The answer may surprise you.Continue to read the rest of this story in The Conversation …
The Vector Institute Friday Seminar Series talk is about two problems: (1) how to perform reasoning between structured data (tables) and unstructured data (text), two major data we face daily; (2) how to integrate the benefit of two worlds: neural models and symbolic reasoning (here natural logic) for the task, to bring the power of …
As a teaching strategy, simulation-based training has been around a long time. From aviation and space flight to the military, from law to policing, simulation has been used to create learning environments that reflect the real world, without putting the learner or other participants at risk. A multidisciplinary group of faculty and post-doctoral researchers from …
This project will mainly explore streaming multi-modal Knowledge Base Population (KBP) problems by considering both text and images. We expect to propose novel ideas that may help Alibaba’s technical challenges. Specifically, we aim to identify entities using both unstructured text data (e.g., image descriptions) and the corresponding images. The aim is that, by creating models …
