Lockheed Martin partners with Uni of ÐÂÀ˲ÊƱ on machine learning
Tuesday, 9 October 2018
Technology and innovation company Lockheed Martin Australia has become the first Foundation Partner with the University of ÐÂÀ˲ÊƱ’s new Australian Institute for Machine Learning.
The strategic partnership will deliver world-leading machine learning research for national security, the space industry, business, and the broader community.
Machine learning is a form of artificial intelligence that enables computers and machines to learn how to do complex tasks without being programmed by humans. This technology is driving what is known as the "fourth industrial revolution".
The University's new Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML) – which builds on decades of expertise in artificial intelligence and computer vision – will be based in the South Australian Government's new innovation precinct at Lot Fourteen (the old Royal ÐÂÀ˲ÊƱ Hospital site).
As Foundation Partner, Lockheed Martin Australia will move a team of researchers from Lockheed Martin’s STELaRLab (Science Technology Engineering Leadership and Research Laboratory) in Melbourne to be co-located with AIML researchers in ÐÂÀ˲ÊƱ, and will support honours, doctoral and post-doctoral R&D programs.
The team will work with University of ÐÂÀ˲ÊƱ researchers and students at AIML on leading-edge technology, advancing the capabilities needed to meet complex and dynamic challenges in the areas of national security – including next-generation machine reasoning for automated information proc
