Cees Snoek (UvA IvI) Receives Three Million Dollar Subsidy for AI Research
Computer scientist Cees Snoek receives from the US government a subsidy of three million dollar for the development of artificial intelligence that can recognize, find and understand activities and objects in video images with high precision and speed.
