Vector Institute Announces 2018 Faculty Affiliates Cohort
The Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence has officially introduced its 2018 cohort of Faculty Affiliates, comprising 63 leading researchers selected from nine prominent institutions across Ontario. This initiative aims to expand expertise in deep learning, machine learning, and broader artificial intelligence fields by fostering collaboration between academia and industry. The selected affiliates, appointed for two-year terms, will contribute to diversifying knowledge within the local AI community and participate in various Vector programs, including workshops, networking events, and summer schools. Notable participants include researchers from the University of Toronto, McMaster University, and the University of Waterloo. The selection process involved rigorous evaluation based on research contributions and alignment with the Institute's mission. Highlighting the program's immediate impact, affiliates such as Sue Becker and John F. Connolly recently hosted a symposium at McMaster University focused on Machine Learning for Brain Health. This faculty program complements the previously launched Postgraduate Affiliate Program, reinforcing Vector's commitment to cultivating AI talent and advancing research capabilities throughout the region.
