The PeninsulaDoha, Qatar: Qatar University (QU) boasts a wide range of valuable contributions through high-level research that strives towards advancing society. QU’s research activities are a key pillar of Qatar’s vision to transform into a knowledge-based economy. QU Professor in Computer Engineering, Prof. Sumaya Al Maadeed, focused her research on artificial intelligence (AI) and applying it to images in the security and medical fields. To this end, deep transfer learning (DTL) and deep domain adaptation (DDA) have recently been proposed by the research team as promising solutions to mitigate these problems. These theories and software have facilitated automatic image recognition and counting people in crowds, contributing to accurate and effective crowd management.
