"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things - they push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." --Steve Jobs
Our Cognitive AI for Science (CogAI4Sci) team at National University of Singapore focuses on two branches of research: 1) develop AI inspired by cognitive science to enable machine to learn, reason and create. and 2) Use AI to improve biomedical scientific discovery and medical practice
Before starting CogAI4Sci team, Dianbo Liu was a group leader at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Prior to the Broad Institute, Dianbo worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Yoshua Bengio (a Turing Award winner) and led the Humanitarian AI team at the Mila-Quebec AI Institute. This followed his fellowship training and studies in medical informatics at Harvard Medical School. Dianbo earned his PhD from the University of Dundee, Scotland, under the supervision of Prof. Timothea Newman. During his doctoral studies,he received the Vest Scholarship from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and was a special graduate student at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab. Dianbo also co-founded two start-ups, "GeneTank" and "SecureAILabs," to advance AI applications in biomedical sciences during his training.
Our team focus on two branches of research: 1) AI for biomedical sciences and 2) Cognitive science inspired machine intelligence.
Together with other researchers, we aim at transforming Singapore into a leading AI technology export hub in Asia.
Develop the next generation of machine intelligence thinking like a scientist to analyze and comprehend the growing volume and diversity of biomedical data, with the aim of doubling the average life expectancy worldwide for all.
Use inspiration from human creativity, memory and attention to construct the next generation of machine intelligence which has self-conciousness, and can learn, train, understand and create independent of human intervention. In addition, as machine intelligence develops so fast in recent years, our team is commited to contributing to AI safety issues related to cognitive science inspired machine intelligence.
