Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦<p>Wonderful news for Edmonton's AI mage Rich Sutton, for the University of Alberta, and for AMII, the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute. I've had a couple of chances over the years to interview Rich and his colleagues, and tour their labs. Their work on reinforcement learning - far more interesting than LLM - has made Edmonton a real AI centre of excellence. Meeting him is the closest I'll ever come to meeting Gandalf. <a href="https://www.ualberta.ca/en/folio/2025/03/computing-science-professor-wins-turing-award.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ualberta.ca/en/folio/2025/03/c</span><span class="invisible">omputing-science-professor-wins-turing-award.html</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/yeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yeg</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Edmonton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edmonton</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ualberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ualberta</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TuringAward" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TuringAward</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Turing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Turing</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a></p>
