IBM's Cognitive Horizons Network produced more than 70 peer-reviewed AI publications in its first year With over two decades of AI research expertise across our global labs, our scientists take pride in their ability to explore, invent and uncover new innovations, but we also understand that the solutions to the most complex AI problems will come from a diversity of perspectives and disciplines. Therefore, we seek to collaborate with the best minds –- whether they are industry partners or from universities –- so we can approach a single problem from multiple perspectives and arrive at the best solution most efficiently. By partnering with top experts from the world's leading universities for engineering and scientific research under the IBM Cognitive Horizons Network, which was formed last year, we're aiming to influence and lead the trajectory of future AI innovation. Under this program IBM scientists, world-class faculty and students are working together on a series of advanced AI research projects and experiments. By nurturing an AI research ecosystem like the Cognitive Horizons Network, we are helping amplify and accelerate foundational AI research and applications that can solve real-world problems.
