Camagüey, Cuba, October 14th.- New opportunities for collaboration were identified this Friday between the University of Camagüey (UC) and the Computer Institute of the Hebei University of International Studies (UEIH), of the People’s Republic of China, during the visit of a delegation from the Cuban Ministry of Higher Education to that foreign center.
«At this Institute we identified three projects with which the UC will be able to cooperate, related to the prediction of school dropouts, image analysis and pattern recognition, and intelligent pest prediction, through precision agriculture», explained the doctor of science Yailé Caballero Mota, director of International Relations of the Camagüey campus.
«We exchanged directly with the coordinators and researchers of these projects and we came to the conclusion that the techniques they use are the same as ours, which is why they showed interest in our theoretical research and scientific articles that may have application in the Institute of Computing and the link with companies”, added Caballero Mota, member of the World Academy of Sciences.
The UEIH Computing Institute was founded in 2004 and has an enrollment of 2,951 students and a faculty of 125 professors in the careers of Software Engineering, Internet Engineering, Internet of Things, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Chain of Block, Technology and Computing.
