Virginia Tech and Amazon recently announced their partnership to advance research and innovation in artificial intelligence and machine learning. The Amazon – Virginia Tech Initiative for Efficient and Robust Machine Learning supports machine learning-focused research projects, doctoral student fellowships, community outreach, and an establishment of a shared advisory board.

Housed in the College of Engineering and led by the Sanghani Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics researchers on Virginia Tech’s campuses in Blacksburg, Virginia and at the Innovation Campus, in Alexandria, Virginia, the partnership will support faculty and student-led development and implementation of innovative approaches to machine learning.

The Amazon-Virginia Tech Initiative for Efficient and Robust Machine Learning (ML) will be soliciting the second round of proposals from Virginia Tech for research projects with anticipated support beginning Fall Semester 2023  (FY 2024).  We also invite nominations for doctoral student fellows with anticipated support beginning Fall Semester 2023.
