报名 | 多大清华首届人工智能创新论坛 ：5月5日多伦多开幕

多大清华AI论坛（AI squared）是加拿大多伦多大学和中国清华大学两所名校首次举办的专业性论坛，也是两校合作计划中的第一年主题论坛，定于2018年5月3-5日在多伦多大学举行。作为两校创新创业论坛的一部分，北美清华校友会联合会将于5月5日（周六）举办北美清华校友AI论坛，由南安省清华校友会承办，IT 资深人协会和机器之心（Synced）协办。通过主题演讲及相关专题讨论、项目与技术展示等形式，为与会者尤其是从事AI领域研究、创业和工作的北美清华校友带来独特而丰富的体验与收获，提供难得的交流合作机会。

与业界专业性论坛不同，此次论坛得到了两所高校的大力支持，也充分动员了两校的师资力量。作为5年合作计划的第一年，多伦多大学作为主办方，选择了人工智能作为主题，也突出了该校在此领域无人可敌的地位和声誉。2017年Vector Institute的创立，把全球人工智能有识之士的目光再次聚焦到多伦多，当然也是把多伦多大学在AI领域的贡献推向了前台。通过论坛等形式的合作，两所中加著名大学都期待在不久的将来能产生实际的学术成果以及可观的经济和社会效益，同时推动两国在科技教育领域合作的全面发展。

截止目前参加5月5日周末AI论坛的演讲嘉宾，除了有来自多伦多大学和清华大学的教授学者，还有来自MIT、西安大略和滑铁卢大学的教授学者。其他嘉宾来自各大知名大公司以及AI初创公司，其中包括来自中国的百融金服。
