  • Grant Macewan University Celebrates New Name
    September 24, 2009 Grant MacEwan University celebrates new name Edmonton... Students from across the province can now attend Grant MacEwan University, as the institution has been formally renamed by the Alberta government. “The needs of Alberta students are changing and our world-class post-secondary institutions are ahead of the curve in terms of providing the best educational opportunities anywhere,” said Premier Ed Stelmach. “Grant MacEwan University is an outstanding institution that has shown there is an exciting alternative for undergraduate studies.” “Dr. MacEwan was famous for saying, ‘leave the garden better than you found it’ and I believe that by renaming the institution a university we are enhancing and confirming the influential role that Grant MacEwan University has on Campus Alberta, the province and on generations of Albertans,” added Stelmach. Grant MacEwan University’s mandate will continue as a Baccalaureate and Applied Studies Institution under Campus Alberta’s six-sector post-secondary model. The institution provides a broad array of programs, including certificates, diplomas, applied degrees, and baccalaureate degrees. “Grant MacEwan University’s commitment to affordable, accessible and quality education mirrors the goals of Campus Alberta, which is to provide the right programs to learners where and when they need them,” said Doug Horner, Minister of Advanced Education and Technology. “Over the past few years, it has been offering high calibre and innovative bachelor degrees, as part of the educational choices available, in an intimate and comfortable learning environment.” Using the term ‘university’ recognizes the high level of baccalaureate degree programs that students receive at Grant MacEwan University. Students will have better opportunities to transition to higher learning in graduate programming and into the workforce.

  • Beyond the West Edmonton Mall: an Architectural Historian Discovers Alberta by Dorothy Field

    Proceedings of Machine Learning Research 146:1{2, 2021 AAAI Spring Symposium 2021 (SP-ACA) Preface: AAAI Spring Symposium on Survival Prediction - Algorithms, Challenges, and Applications 2021 Russell Greiner [email protected] University of Alberta, Edmonton (AB), Canada Neeraj Kumar [email protected] University of Alberta, Edmonton (AB), Canada Thomas Alexander Gerds [email protected] University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Mihaela van der Schaar [email protected] University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom Editor: Russell Greiner, Neeraj Kumar, Thomas Alexander Gerds, and Mihaela van der Schar The 2021 AAAI Spring Symposium on \Survival Prediction { Algorithms, Challenges, and Application" (SPACA) was organized as a virtual event, due to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. SPACA 2021 brought together researchers and practitioners interested in survival prediction, with diverse backgrounds in statistics, machine learning, biomedical engineering, and mathematics, to communicate new algorithms, ideas, and ap- plications of survival prediction in various disciplines. In general, a survival analysis model estimates the time until a specified event will happen in the future (or some related survival measure), for an individual. This event could be the time to death or relapse of a patient, or time until an employee leaves a company, or until the failure of a mechanical system, etc. The key challenge in learning effective survival models is that this time-to-event is censored for some individuals, which limits the direct use of standard regression techniques. This symposium focused on approaches for learning models that estimate survival measures from such survival datasets, which include censored instances. Its objective was to push the state-of-the-art in survival prediction algorithms and address fundamental issues that hinder their applicability for solving complex real- world problems.
