Three DCSIL supported teams from U of T will travel to Vancouver for this year's National finals on Saturday, May 28. There are six Canadian teams competing and the winner will advance to the World Finals.
The new U of T chairs – Alán Aspuru-Guzik, David Fleet, Daniel Roy and Bo Wang – join another eight at U of T who were named among the inaugural group last fall and are all associated with the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence.
“Language is a lens into the mind,” says U of T computer scientist Frank Rudzicz. “How you’re feeling, what you’re thinking, what your cognitive performance is – it’s all revealed through your language.”
“Change is threatening for many people, and the only way you address that is by bringing them into the conversation,” says Steve Easterbrook, director of U of T’s School of the Environment.
