EPFL’s new Center for Intelligence Systems (CIS) aims to bring together experts in ML, Data Science, computer vision, cyberphysical systems and robotics and act as a research platform for them.
Jan Kerschgen, CIS Executive Director, says he wants to get researchers out of their comfort zones and pursue ambitious and collaborative projects.
CIS unites the schools of Engineering (STI), Computer and Communication Sciences (IC) and Basic Sciences (SB) to promote research and technology transfer under the umbrella of Intelligent systems.
Ellis, a unit of EPFL included within CIS, is a European initiative to bring together experts in ML and Intelligent systems.
CIS launched its “Get to Know your Neighbour” seminar series in January under the directorship of Kerschgens. Next, he is planning a colloquium series that will invite intelligent systems’ distinguished speakers, a winter school and a joint lab funding for postdoctoral researchers.
CIS members are leveraging new resources to have an impact in the areas of health and medicine.
David Atienza, CIS steering member, announced the development of Coughvid App. The app will use AI to analyze sound wave to identify dry cough of a COVID-19 patient.
Researchers working together within the framework of CIS are well equipped to combat large-scale problems like COVID-19 pandemic. CIS is enabling Scientists and Engineers to explore, brainstorm and contribute to Science, education, industry, and the economy at large.
