The American National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has chosen the first four cryptographic algorithms designed to withstand the assault of a future quantum computer (link in Dutch).
Philips joined forces with Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica and Eindhoven University of Technology to automatically maintain a key component, written in C++, of one of its successful software systems. Without automation, and for good reasons, such large-scale maintenance is often considered to be too complex and too risky. The partners applied the Rascal metaprogramming solution to script approximately 5,840 source code transformations. The resulting C++ code passed the quality assurance processes and is, in fact, of higher quality than before.
The Quantum Application Lab (QAL) has opened its doors for companies looking to explore the possibilities of quantum technologies to enhance their businesses.
Thanks to a mathematical breakthrough achieved at CWI, AI applications like speech recognition, gesture recognition and electrocardiogram (ECG) classification can become a hundred to a thousand times more energy efficient. This means it will be possible to put much more elaborate AI in chips, enabling applications to run locally on a smartphone or smartwatch instead of in the cloud.
Dutch Education minister Ingrid van Engelshoven and Economic Affairs secretary Mona Keijzer have allocated another 24 million euros to stimulate knowledge transfer from research to society and the market.
The Dutch National Research Agenda (NWA) has awarded a grant of approximately 4 million euros to the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), the Dutch national research center for mathematics and computer science, for the proposal “Perceptive acting under uncertainty: safety solutions for autonomous systems.” In this project, led by senior CWI researcher Sander Bohté, breakthrough AI solutions will be developed – based on insights in human behavior – to seamlessly integrate smart vehicles in society.
Thanks to a mathematical breakthrough, artificial-intelligence applications like speech recognition, gesture recognition and ECG classification can become 100-1000 times more energy efficient.
The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded its annual Starting Grants.
The Institutes Organization of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO-I) has announced that Ton de Kok will serve as the next director of CWI – the National Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science.
The Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) together with the Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) are launching a joint endeavor – the applied quantum computing professorship and research group.
