Newly inaugurated lab moved to Mila, world-renowned AI analysis heart, to strengthen collaboration with high authorities in deep studying, together with Professor Yoshua Bengio
Samsung Electronics in the present day introduced the enlargement of the ‘Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) artificial intelligence (AI) Lab Montreal’ in Canada. The Lab will assist the corporate strengthen its fundamentals in AI analysis and drive competitiveness in system semiconductors.
The AI Lab is positioned in Mila – Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms – in Montreal, Canada. Founded by Professor Yoshua Bengio on the University of Montreal, Mila is among the biggest analysis facilities within the area of deep studying and has a partnership with the University of Montreal and McGill University. SAIT AI Lab Montreal has an open workspace with the goal of working intently with the AI analysis communities in Mila.
SAIT AI Lab Montreal will concentrate on unsupervised studying and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) analysis to develop disruptive innovation and breakthrough applied sciences, together with new deep studying algorithms and subsequent era of on-device AI.
To drive the hassle, this AI Lab has actively recruited leaders in deep studying analysis, together with Simon Lacoste-Julien, Professor on the University of Montreal, who lately joined because the chief of the lab. In addition, Samsung is planning to dispatch R&D personnel in its Device Solutions Business to Montreal over time and make the most of AI Labs as a base for coaching AI researchers and collaborating with different superior AI analysis institutes.
On the opposite aspect, SAIT AI Lab Montreal continues to construct a robust relationship with Yoshua Bengio, one of many world’s biggest consultants on deep studying, machine studying, and AI. SAIT and Professor Bengio collaborated on deep studying algorithm analysis since 2014, efficiently publishing three papers on educational journals.
Professor Yoshua Bengio mentioned, “Samsung’s collaboration with Mila is well established already and has been productive and built strong trust on both sides. With a new SAIT lab in the midst of the recently inaugurated Mila building and many exciting research challenges ahead of us in AI, I expect even more mutually positive outcomes in the future.”
SAIT has actively pursued analysis collaboration with different high authorities within the area. In addition to Professor Bengio, SAIT has labored with Yann LeCun, Professor at New York University and Richard Zemel, Professor at University of Toronto. Yoshua Bengio and Yann LeCun, together with pc scientist Geoffrey Everest Hinton gained the 2018 Turing Award which is deemed the ‘Nobel Prize in computer science.’
“SAIT focuses on research and development – not only in next generation semiconductor but also innovative AI as a seed technology in system semiconductors. SAIT AI Lab Montreal will play a key role within Samsung to redefine AI theory and deep learning algorithm for the next 10 years,” mentioned Sungwoo Hwang, Executive Vice President and Deputy Head of SAIT.
