Researchers at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore and China's Alibaba Group have launched the Alibaba-NTU Singapore Joint Research Institute to create and test artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to address societal challenges. The institute seeks to combine NTU's human-centered AI technology with Alibaba's natural-language processing, computer-vision, machine-learning, and cloud computing technologies. NTU and Alibaba also will collaborate on a crowdsourcing platform to connect researchers and industry partners around the world within an AI-focused research and development ecosystem.
