The Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research was first established in 2000 at Auckland University of Technology by Professor Albert Yeap. Its initial mission was to develop models of cognitive processes concerning how humans perceive their environment and how infants learn. More recently, the focus has shifted to include advanced AI algorithms for classification, prediction, pattern recognition and interpretation in a vast number of interdisciplinary applications, including mental/neurological health, bioinformatics, neuroinformatics, neuromarketing, neuro-tourism, neuro-architecture and neuro-fashion.
The CAIR's members are involved in advanced and multidisciplinary research projects to develop cutting-edge AI technologies. Find out more about some of the recent projects.
Dr Maryam Doborjeh has secured 2.1m via Catalyst: Strategic – New Zealand-Singapore Data Science Research Programme, supported by New Zealand Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment to develop a new computational neuro-genetic modelling based on machine-learning/AI methods for diagnosis of mental illnesses, particularly schizophrenia, using unprecedented level of data varieties, including cutting edge genomics, proteomics and metabonomic technologies.
This project is jointly coordinated with our Singapore partners from the Nanyang Technological University, Institute of Mental Health, and National University of Singapore.
