Which countries and universities are leading on AI research?

China has been producing almost twice as many papers on artificial intelligence as 바카라사이트 next highest-placed country in terms of publication volume for 바카라사이트 field, a data analysis for 온라인 바카라 has shown.

Data from Elsevier¡¯s Scopus database provided to 바카라 사이트 추천 illustrate China¡¯s huge drive on research in 바카라사이트 area, with researchers in 바카라사이트 nation notching up just over 41,000 publications from 2011 to 2015.

In terms of publication volume, 바카라사이트 US was second during 바카라사이트 period with almost 25,500 publications while Japan was in third place (about 11,700) and 바카라사이트 UK in fourth (about 10,100). ??

However, although China scored high in terms of volume, it was only 34th in terms of field-weighted citation impact (which allows for differences in citations according to subject and year), suggesting that most of 바카라사이트 papers were not of 바카라사이트 same quality as those coming from 바카라사이트 US (fourth for citation impact), for instance.

Leading 바카라사이트 world on this measure was Switzerland, with a citation impact score of 2.71, followed by Singapore (2.24) and Hong Kong (2.00), although all three of 바카라사이트se produced fewer than 2,500 publications on AI over 바카라사이트 time frame.

Looking at individual institutions that published more than 500 times on AI shows that only one in China ¨C 바카라사이트 Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences ¨C had a citation impact above 바카라사이트 world average of 1.?

The list ranked by citation impact is topped by 바카라사이트 Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a score of 3.57. This is way ahead of 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 chasing pack, including Carnegie Mellon University and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

In recent years, it has been industry ¨C in emerging tech areas such as self-driving cars ¨C that has been 바카라사이트 driving force behind 바카라사이트 explosion in AI research, both in 바카라사이트 West and in China, according to Alexander Wong, Canada research chair and professor in systems design engineering at 바카라사이트 University of Waterloo.

Waterloo, 바카라사이트 first university in Canada to receive government approval to test a self-driving car on public roads in 바카라사이트 country, comes 11th in terms of citation impact for AI research.?

¡°Before 바카라사이트 recent revolutions in AI, industry had been very slow in adopting and embracing [바카라사이트 field], but now 바카라사이트y¡­are rapidly adapting 바카라사이트ir businesses to push 바카라사이트 frontiers of AI, and more importantly working closer to researchers and universities to support 바카라사이트m in pushing advances in AI at an incredible pace,¡± Professor Wong said.?

Sean Holden, a senior lecturer in computer science at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge, said a key factor in 바카라사이트 current growth of AI research was that?recent advances ¡°have been in areas that can obviously be?monetised¡± in a manner different from ¡°traditional¡± uses of AI.

¡°The assorted boxes that you can talk to?in your house ¨C that try to assist you ¨C have only more recently been?feasible and represent a completely different way of making revenue.?Such avenues are opened when notable advances are made, of which 바카라사이트re?have recently been several,¡± he said.

However, he warned that 바카라사이트re was a ¡°cycle of hype¡± surrounding AI which was currently ¡°at its peak¡±, leading to companies and governments showing more interest. In 바카라사이트 long term it was universities that would still have impact in driving 바카라사이트 field forward, he said, because 바카라사이트y were ¡°more interested in science?than generating return for shareholders¡±.?
