Institute Intelligence and Data (IID)
The Institute Intelligence and Data (IID) at Université Laval brings together the driving forces in terms of research and innovation in artificial intelligence and data sciences in the greater Quebec City area.
In a spirit of interdisciplinarity and collaboration, these researchers contribute to the development and enrichment of knowledge in a multitude of fields of application - from industry 4.0 to the Internet of Things (IoT), from intelligent devices to sensor networks, from the smart city to medical imagery, and more. Their work supports significant technological advances, in particular in robotics, virtual or augmented reality, machine learning or even the processing of complex data, carried out with careful attention to confidentiality, ethics and social acceptability.
More specifically, four federating areas have been identified:
- Physical Environment
- Health and Life Sciences
- Artificial intelligence and data processing methods
- Ethics, confidentiality and social acceptability
Mission
Federate and support expertise and innovation in artificial intelligence and data sciences at Université Laval while playing a central role in the development of a pole of excellence and their related disciplines.
Benefits
Research and training
The Institute Intelligence and Data (IID) will develop and promote innovative and ethically responsible research in artificial intelligence (AI), data valorization and related disciplines.
IID will use its wide-ranging expertise to train students and highly qualified personnel in AI, data valorization and related disciplines by providing a wide range of training opportunities, thereby responding to a great need in the community.
Collaborations with the milieu and knowledge transfer
An already well-established collaboration with the socio-economic community will encourage and support a better transfer of knowledge and new technologies in the field.
The creation of the IID and its positioning as a pole of excellence in AI will also contribute to the national and international influence of Université Laval. The integrative nature of IID activities will create new opportunities for collaboration with MILA researchers as well as with institutions and organizations on a regional, provincial, national and international level.
