UGM AI CENTER has registered the copyright of 2 of its COVID-19 related research results, which are:

1. COVID-Web-Screening: Web-Based COVID-19 screening using Chest X-Ray and CT Scan (000193204)
2. Mobile-COVID-Screening: Chest X-Ray and CT Scan based COVID-19 screening on Mobile Phone (000193205)

COVID-Web-Screening is a web-based COVID-19 case monitoring platform that performs rapid screening based on chest CT or X-ray images between sufferers or non-sufferers of COVID-19. Mobile-COVID-Screening is an mobile application that performs rapid screening of chest X-Ray images and CT images of the sufferers and non-sufferers of COVID-19. This application was built to support the COVID-Web-Screening. read more

Igi Ardiyanto, Person in Charge of UGM AI CENTER, said “As an attempt to contribute during the COVID-19 Crisis, we provide a portal integrating several research disciplines related to COVID-19. One of them is research employing Deep Learning-based medical imaging for COVID-19 research rapid screening using Chest X-ray and CT. It is an end-to-end system with a very easy UI in mind.” UGM AI CENTER has developed a web based platform for monitoring COVID-19 cases, rapid screening based on chest CT or X-ray image and crowdsourcing chest CT or X-ray image data. This platform provides information such as total infection, healed and death cases in the form of numbers and a nicely graphical plot. In this platform, we can upload a bulk of chest CT or X-ray images to conduct a rapid screening of COVID-19. This rapid screening might help health workers to speed-up the process of determining whether a person is infected by COVID-19 or not. Igi Ardiyanto added, “Please be understood, these are progressing researches. The results may or may not conform with the actual ones. Expert supports are certainly required, since it is not meant to replace any human expert.” The rapid screening itself was developed using a deep learning algorithm. Deep learning relies on a huge amount of data to improve the model itself. Therefore, the platform also provides a crowdsource feature which anyone can contribute to collect chest CT or X-ray data. “Any collaboration in the form of data and research is invited,” end statement from Igi Ardiyanto.

Wednesday (16/10/2019), UGM AI CENTER has a fruitful discussion with its Member of Advisory Board, ILHAM A. HABIBIE, Simon See, Agus Hasan Sulistiono, and thank you for giving many insightful idea and direction for our future.

An event organized by FKKMK UGM invited Pak Igi to be one of the speakers at a seminar on the topic of Data Science Initiative for Health (DASH).

UGM AI Center of Excellence received a visit by one of the most important people in Indonesia. He is the President Director of PT AKR Corporindo Tbk. (AKRA), Haryanto Adikoesoemo. He looked around and also talk about the development of Artificial Intelligence.

In order to welcome industry 4.0, Universitas Gadjah Mada inaugurated the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Center of Excellence which will accommodate productive and innovative research in the field of intelligent transportation technology, early detection of diseases and health monitoring, robotics and censorship systems, digital communication and social media, energy management, and customer experience based on artificial intelligence technology. UGM AI Center of Excellence was inaugurated by Ir. Budi Karya Sumadi, Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia, on Friday, February 22, 2019 at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of the Faculty of Engineering, coincided with the commemoration of the 73rd Engineering Higher Education Day (HPTT). The inauguration began with the ribbon cutting by Ir. Budi Karya Sumadi, Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia; Ir. Airlangga Hartanto, M.B.A., M.M.T, Minister of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia who previously inaugurated the Toyota Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering FT UGM; and Prof. Ir. Panut Mulyono, M.Eng., D.Eng, Chancellor of Gadjah Mada University. The inauguration agenda was continued by the signing of a digital inscription by Ir. Budi Karya Sumadi, Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia.

UGM AI Center of Excellence has research activities, namely intelligent vehicle automatic detection systems, research on intelligent systems for detecting the density of vehicles on a road or traffic light, research on Automatic License Plate Recognition, and research on intelligent visual-based systems to assist navigation automatic. Several national practitioners and scientists also contributed to the UGM advisory board and advisors AI Center of Excellence, including Dr. Ing. Ilham Akbar Habibie (CEO of Ilthabi Rekatama), Dr. Agus Hasan Sulistiono (Director of PT. Tira Austenite, Tbk.), Prof. Ir. Nizam, M.Sc., Ph.D. (Dean of the Faculty of Engineering UGM), Herman Widjaja (VP Engineering Tokopedia), Rene Indiarto Widjaja (Director of PT. Epsindo Prima Energi), and Dr. Ettikan K. Karuppiah (Director of Developer Ecosystem, NVIDIA).

Chairperson of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of the Faculty of Engineering, Dr. Sarjiya on another occasion said that the AI ​​Center of Excellence would be the right place for the implementation of artificial intelligence technology research that had been carried out at UGM for the wider community. In addition, the AI ​​Center of Excellence will accelerate the opportunities for technological development which is the basis of the digital industry that is currently growing rapidly in Indonesia. Some UGM researchers who initiated the AI ​​Center of Excellence have collaborated with various academic and industrial institutions in the country and abroad in developing various kinds of artificial intelligence technology-based solutions. In 2022, the UGM AI Center of Excellence is expected to be a pioneer in artificial intelligence technology innovation in Indonesia as well as being a major contributor to the development of the digital intelligence technology-based digital industry.
