Centre for Augmented Reasoning
Making computers more capable of understanding humans, our instructions and needs, through more natural conversation.
The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide’s Centre for Augmented Reasoning (CAR) is a four year $20 million investment by the Department of Education in people and research to develop the high-calibre machine learning expertise ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ needs to be an active participant in the machine learning-enabled global economy.
Building on the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥â€™s existing research strengths at the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n Institute for Machine Learning (AIML), the centre is supporting high performance machine learning research, providing valuable scholarship opportunities, supporting AI commercialisation initiatives, and becoming a leading voice in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥â€™s AI landscape.
Our vision is for the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide to be recognised globally as a centre of research excellence in machine learning and augmented reasoning by 2026.
Centre objectives
CAR aims to train a new generation of experts in machine learning, which is the artificial intelligence (AI) technology that is driving real economic impact today. Our objectives are to:
- build world-class capability in machine learning research
- increase impact of machine learning research in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥
- establish the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide as a key strategic research institute for machine learning in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥
- attract funding beyond the lifetime of Commonwealth funding
- stimulate commercialisation of artificial intelligence in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥
- increase the application of artificial intelligence in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥â€™s industries
- increase gender equity in machine learning research
- promote the value of the centre to ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ and the world.
From research to impact
In this compilation of short interviews, we hear directly from CAR's members as they share their insights, experiences, and visions for the future of augmented reasoning.
