The programme will establish a cross-disciplinary community of researchers in quantum computing and computer science, who will collaborate to address the global challenge of delivering quantum computing that is robust, reliable, and trustworthy.
The University\u2019s flagship UNIQ+ graduate access programme for students from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds will expand further in 2022 thanks to a generous donation from leading British artificial intelligence company DeepMind.
Governments and social media platforms should not rely on content removal for combatting harmful scientific misinformation online, according to a report today from the Royal Society, the UK\u2019s national academy of science. Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Oxford Professor of Computing Science, was on the working group for the report.
Estimates of COVID-19 vaccine uptake in the USA based on large surveys that are used to guide policy-making decisions tend to overestimate the number of vaccinated individuals, research published in Nature suggests.
As part of their research project Amanda Matthes and Jonas Beuchert, supervised by Professor Alex Rogers, developed \u2018SnapperGPS\u2019, a low-cost, low-power wildlife tracking system based on satellite navigation. In summer 2021, they deployed it for the first time on wild animals: endangered loggerhead sea turtles in Cape Verde.
DeepMind, the leading British artificial intelligence company, has renewed its commitment to supporting students at the University of Oxford following the success of its scholarship programme for under-represented groups in AI.
For the fourth year running the University of Oxford has been ranked first in the world for Computer Science in the Times Higher Education 2022 World University Rankings.
Thirty-three University of Oxford researchers have been named Turing Fellows for the 2021/22 academic year. 23 of the fellows come from MPLS departments.
The Moon\u2019s polar regions are home to craters and other depressions that never receive sunlight. Permanently shadowed lunar craters contain water ice but are difficult to image. An AI algorithm now provides sharper images, allowing us to see into them with high resolution for the first time.
A new technology, developed by Oxford researchers, in partnership with the European Space Agency\u2019s (ESA) \u03a6-lab, will pilot the detection of flood events from space. It was deployed on hardware on D-Orbit\u2019s upcoming \u2018Wild Ride\u2019 mission being launched by SpaceX\u2019s Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral, 30 June, 20.00 UK time.
Professor Wooldridge has received this award, given by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and the Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence (EAAI), for outstanding global leadership in AI education and public awareness.
Professor Paolo Radaelli from Oxford\u2019s Department of Physics, working with Diamond Light Source, has been leading research into silicon alternatives and his group\u2019s surprising findings are published in Nature on 4th February.
Four more DeepMind graduate scholarships for students wishing to pursue a master\u2019s degree in Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science will be made available for students commencing courses in 2021\u201322.
