The AI Seminar is a weekly meeting at the University of Alberta where researchers interested in artificial intelligence (AI) can share their research. Presenters include both local speakers from the University of Alberta and visitors from other institutions. Topics can be related in any way to artificial intelligence, from foundational theoretical work to innovative applications of AI techniques to new fields and problems.

Abstract:
At Nanoprecise, we are on a mission to save 2-3% of global carbon emissions by providing right maintenance insight at the right time with fully automated IoT & AI powered condition monitoring of motor driven equipment such as pumps, compressors etc. In this session, we will talk about how we are achieving the same for the asset intensive industries such as Oil & Gas, Manufacturing, Pharma, Cement, Mining etc. We will talk about how Nanoprecise’s AI approach, which is physics + AI enabled is giving us an edge over traditional black box AI models such as neural network applied on random data.
