Waikato Artificial Intelligence Initiative (WAI)

Launched in April 2021, Te Ipu o te Mahara, The Artificial Intelligence Institute takes an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) research. The goal is to build awareness and expertise across disciplines to better leverage AI for the benefit of communities.

Focused on real-time analytics for big data, machine learning, and deep learning, the team has created some of the world's most popular open source tools for machine learning.

WEKA (Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis) is one of the oldest available machine learning systems, having started development in 1993, and it is still very active in the machine learning / data mining / AI space. WEKA has been downloaded more than 10,000,000 times and has also been cited in more than 18,000 research and applied data science publications.
