On Monday, Amazon and the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B) announced a partnership to establish an AI-ML initiative. This joint effort will provide funding for research projects, PhD fellowships, and community events such as research symposia.
The initiative will be headquartered at the IIT Bombay Department of Computer Science and Engineering and will focus on advancing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the domains of speech, language, and multimodal AI.
“We at IIT Bombay are committed to our mission of translating knowledge and research into revolutionary technologies,” said Subhasis Chaudhuri, director at IIT Bombay. “Our top research minds have always attracted the attention of companies interested in scientific study. With industry collaborators like Amazon who have a deep sense of technology and global reach, we hope to be able to expedite the deployment of technologies/products in the field of AI-ML.”
Amazon and IIT Bombay have a history of collaboration, which includes participation in the Amazon Research Awards program. In 2022, the program granted an award to Preethi Jyothi, an associate professor of computer science and engineering at IIT-Bombay, for her research on fairness in speech recognition.
