Last month, Dr. Liang Kong, Associate Professor of Mathematics, along with Dr. Yanhui Guo (Associate Professor, CSC), Dr. Xiaoqing Li (Professor, MIS), gave a very interesting and informative talk on ChatGPT! The title of their talk is 

CHATGPT IS COMING - ARCHITECTURE, APPLICATIONS, AND OPPORTUNITIES

Professor Piotr (Peter) Bołtuć recently gave a presentation at the 2022 Annual International Conference on Brain-Inspired Cognitive Architectures for Artificial Intelligence (BICA*AI 2022), held at Guadalajara, Mexico, September 22-25. In his presentation ‘Beyond Industry 4.0, but not too far,’ Professor Bołtuć discussed an emerging and novel category that goes beyond the 4th Revolution of Luciano Floridi and others. In addition, he chaired a discussion panel with Stephen Thaler, M.

Congratulations to Professor Liang Kong–his joint proposal with Professor Yanhui Guo (UIS CSC) has been awarded a $30,000 grant from SHIELD Illinois! 

The team proposes to study and improve forecasting pandemic infections at the community level in Illinois using advanced mathematical modeling and deep learning that take into account the complexity of human mobility and interactions. 

Summer is a time to relax, have fun, and it is also a time for learning math! During this summer, in addition to our usual summer (online) courses, MAT offers several exciting learning opportunities:
