The newly launched $12 million Collaborative Intelligence Future Science Platform aims to move beyond machines replacing people or automating their jobs, & instead to create teams that maximise the benefits of both human & machine intelligence: bit.ly/31QlkBH #ai

@DigitalCecile and I have a full PhD scholarship (Syndromic Surveillance from Social Media). Please feel free to share and let me know if there are any questions: jobs.csiro.au/job/Various-Da… #NLProc #PhDscholarship

Congratulations team CSIRO's Data61 on placing a very, very, close second at the @DARPA #Subtchallenge! Team leader Dr Navinda Kottege “This is an amazing result! We are the first Australian team to place in the top two at a DARPA #Robotics challenge" : bit.ly/3kEpVxJ

We have two topup scholarships for PhD students enrolling or in their first year of PhD in Australia: jobs.csiro.au/job/Various-CS… (project 3: IE in health and project 4: Social media analytics) #NLProc #PhDscholarship @DigitalCecile @maciek_rybinski @dai_nlp

A hero of #AI here in Queensland is Dr Sue Keay, the CEO of the Queensland AI Hub. @suekeay is building our business opportunities around AI. This is great for #drones and #robots as AI and tech goes together like strawberries and cream! youtube.com/watch?v=VedJun…
