The work of Amii researchers is being featured at the 38th annual International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), running online this year from July 18 to 24.
ICML is the premier gathering of professionals dedicated to the advancement of the branch of AI known as machine learning (ML). Globally renowned for presenting and publishing cutting-edge research on all aspects of ML and application areas, the conference is within the top ten highest-ranked ML & AI conferences in the world based on h-index and Impact Score values (see: Google Scholar and Guide2Research).
Amii Fellows and Canada CIFAR AI Chairs – professors at the University of Alberta, University of British Columbia and Carleton University – as well as other Amii researchers have 23 papers included in the proceedings:
