A collaborative research institute
Mila is the Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute. It brings together Université de Montréal and McGill University, working closely with Polytechnique Montréal and HEC Montréal. The institute also hosts researchers affiliated with other universities.
What its researchers study
Mila describes work in language modelling, machine translation, object recognition and generative models. Its approach emphasises open science and collaboration. Its Montréal premises opened in the Mile-Ex neighbourhood in 2019.
Reading a research profile
An institute is a community, not a single AI product. To assess a specific result, follow the individual paper and examine its question, methods, data and limitations. Institutional expertise supplies context; it is not a substitute for the evidence in an individual study.
