\n Autonomous Vehicles Research\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Carleton University is actively involved in autonomous vehicle technology<\/a>, with over 100 researchers from four faculties and 13 university departments, schools and institutes engaged in a broad spectrum of research, with applications as far-ranging as cognitive science, sensor networks, robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, unmanned vehicles, accurate algorithm predications, computer security and wireless-based systems. Our researchers are working to make the transportation of the future safer, more sustainable, more secure, and more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yuhong Guo<\/a> is the Canada Research Chair in Machine Learning. She co-chaired the Siam International Conference on Data Mining (SDM) and the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS), was a committee member for many others, and has done journal review for half a dozen international journals on machine learning, computer vision, pattern analysis, computational biology and bioinformatics, and neural networks. Her areas of interest include: machine learning, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, computer vision, bioinformatics, and data analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
