Project Overview:

In this project computing students from Coventry University​ and University of Aveiro​ worked together to identify and implement machine learning solutions that could benefit their local communities. Machine learning due to the availability of big data and greater computation power is at the start of a journey that could change all of our lives in way we can only dream of.  The students looked at different machine learning ideas including people recognition and disease recognition.  The results of the projects were presented at an event at the University of Aveiro.  This was the first years and so the numbers were small to gain knowledge on COIL project.  We plan to expand the project to include more students next year.
