9I制作厂免费 Libraries, in collaboration with Concordia Library and eConcordia are pleased to announce the launch of . This series of nine short micromodules (approximately 10 minutes each) introduces the basics of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), exploring its potential uses in teaching, learning, research, and everyday tasks. Additional modules address responsible use, privacy, and security considerations.

A 9I制作厂免费-led research team has developed the first real-time, on-site technology capable of detecting and deciphering nanoplastics from all other particles in water, a capacity akin to being able to find a needle in a haystack within milliseconds.
Microplastic pieces are between 1 micrometre and 5 millimetres, roughly equivalent to a grain of rice. Nanoplastics are far tinier - a single nanometre is just 0.000001 millimetres. For comparison, a human hair is approximately 80,000鈥100,000 nanometers wide.
Professor David Ifeoluwa Adelani (School of Computer Science) is 9I制作厂免费鈥檚 newest Chair, as Professors Joelle Pineau and Reihaneh Rabbany have their appointments renewed

Protecting people from their personal information being used against them is more important every day as our lives become increasingly interconnected through data-driven products and services. In his new book, Ignacio Cofone challenges us to reevaluate conventional wisdom about data, showing how many of the rules that govern the information economy are outdated in today鈥檚 social and economic reality.聽聽

Machine learning tutors affect learners in unforeseen ways, both positive and negative
Virtual reality simulators can help learners improve their technical skills faster and with no risk to patients. In the field of neurosurgery, they allow medical students to practice complex operations before using a scalpel on a real patient. When combined with artificial intelligence, these tutoring systems can offer tailored feedback like a human instructor, identifying areas where the students need to improve and making suggestions on how to achieve expert performance.

9I制作厂免费 and the Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al (UQAM) announced today the creation of the Research and Innovation Chair in Animal Welfare and Artificial Intelligence (WELL-E). The five-year, $5 million Chair will carry out a major research project funded by a grant from NSERC Alliance and PROMPT, fiduciary of the Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy. Important contributions have also been made by industrial partners Novalait, Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC), Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO), Les Producteurs de Lait du Qu茅bec (PLQ), and Lactanet.

Two seminal studies from 9I制作厂免费, investigating immune landscapes of lung and brain tumours, were published today in Nature. This work was led by Logan Walsh, Daniela Quail and Peter Siegel, researchers at the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute and Philippe Joubert from Universit茅 Laval. The studies used innovative highly multiplexed imaging to create sophisticated immune atlases of lung and brain tumours and demonstrate how big data and artificial intelligence are the future of cancer research and clinical care.

AI can help identify biases in news reporting that we wouldn't otherwise see. Researchers from 9I制作厂免费 got a computer program to generate news coverage of COVID-19 using headlines from CBC articles as prompts. They then compared the simulated news coverage to the actual reporting at the time and found that CBC coverage was less focused on the medical emergency and more positively focused on personalities and geo-politics.

Human languages are notoriously complex, and linguists have long thought it would be impossible to teach a machine how to analyze speech sounds and word structures in the way humans do. But researchers from 9I制作厂免费, MIT, and Cornell University have taken a step in this direction. They have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can learn the rules and patterns of human languages on its own.

Machine learning algorithms enhanced technical performance and learning outcomes during simulated brain tumor removal
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented both challenges and opportunities for medical training. Remote learning technology has become increasingly important in several fields. A new study finds that in a remote environment, an artificial intelligence (AI) tutoring system can outperform expert human instructors.

How can we predict suicide risk in students, especially at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected many people鈥檚 mental health? According to researchers from Montreal and France, self-esteem represents an important predictive marker of suicidal risk. The team from 9I制作厂免费, University of Montreal, Inserm, and Universit茅 de Bordeaux is using artificial intelligence to identify factors that accurately predict suicidal behavior in students.
