New Direction
In January this year, the University’s Centre for Machine Intelligence (CMI), was officially relaunched with new research themes and a new director.
Dr Haiming Liu, Associate Professor within the School of Electronics and Computer Science, took up the helm as director and has been steering the Centre and its academics to deliver on the ever-important issue of impact.
“Within the CMI, we bring together researchers and practitioners with the aim of delivering the impact of machine intelligence to society,” Haiming explained. “We have a particular focus on research related to enterprise-based applications of AI, such as user-centered information, access solutions, ethical, unbiased, responsible and inclusive AI solutions, decentralized machine learning solutions for enterprise search, digital health, digital humanities and engineering.”
Established in 2017, the CMI’s new objectives for 2023 and beyond centre around collaboration and awareness raising.
“We are championing industrial collaborations, from consultancy and PhD sponsorship, to internships, KTPs and catalyst opportunities,” said Haiming. “The CMI plays a vital role in connecting people together to offer impactful solutions and innovation for machine intelligence. We want to create a hub for academics, practitioners, and students to discuss and collaborate on Machine Intelligence research. We welcome visits and are happy to meet to discuss research and business problems and solutions”.
