Welcome to the WatCL Lab
The Waterloo Computational Learning Lab at the Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo.
The Waterloo Computational Learning (WatCL) Lab is a research group at the Cheriton School of Computer Science. We work on machine learning and artificial intelligence models for reasoning and graph-structured data. We are located at the University of Waterloo, a vibrant technological hub with Concept, Velocity and Google around the block. We are also part of the Scientific Computation Group and the Waterloo Data and Artificial Intelligence Institute. We are grateful for funding from the University of Waterloo and NSERC.
