Center for Applied AI & Machine Learning
The Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CAIML) is housed in the Department of Computer Science within the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a center of excellence skilled in applying leading-edge AI & ML technologies and solutions for our partners’ strategic products and services.
The objective of the Center for Applied AI and Machine Learning is to develop long-term, ongoing joint activities through research and development partnerships with companies and organizations in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex area and Texas. Our aim is to focus on applied R&D rather than on basic research with the intent of being integral rather than ancillary wherever possible.
Our Team
Our core team consists of researchers whose expertise lie in artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, deep learning, data mining, big data, computational logic, explainable AI, automated commonsense reasoning, probabilistic graphical models, health informatics/precision health, medical informatics, and biomedical applications. The research emphasis of the Center for AI & ML implies it is synergistic with the Human Language Technology Research Institute, the Center for Machine Learning, and the Cyber Security Research and Education Institute, and the Institute for Data Analytics.
What We Do
Applied AI & Machine Learning
Bridge developments in AI and Machine Learning to real applications and services in collaboration with our industry partners.
In-house Training
Train a new generation of industrial scientists to address the skills shortage in AI and machine learning areas and increase competitiveness in the high-value information technology sectors, with the development of dedicated education programs.
Intellectual Property
CAIML is able to develop strategic Intellectual Property for our clients under a variety of innovative IP agreements, including a novel UT agreement whereby clients can retain full, unrestricted rights to all developed IP.
Technology Development & Deployment
Develop new on-demand technologies for machine learning and large-scale data analysis.
Joint Research & Development
Jointly research and develop tools, products, and services for our partners.
