説明を展開

Mila (Montréal Institute for Learning Algorithms) was founded in 1993 by Yoshua Bengio at Université de Montréal and now stands as one of the largest academic AI research institutes globally — ~1 200 researchers across deep learning, reinforcement learning, AI for science, and AI safety. Funding: CIFAR Pan-Canadian AI Strategy CAD $20m (Phase 2), Quebec provincial CAD $40m+, plus corporate partnerships (Google, Meta, Samsung). Bengio is the Mila scientific director and a Turing Award laureate. Assessment: Mila is the world's largest deep-learning research institute by headcount — but its commercialisation track record is notably weaker than Stanford / MIT. The challenge is converting Mila's research depth into Canadian economic value rather than letting graduates migrate to US tech giants.
