A speech recognition research project developing and testing AI algorithms that will recognise some of the different Swedish-speaking dialects across Finland has been launched by Arcada University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with Åbo Akademi University and StageZero Technologies.
Professor Roberto V. Zicari, founder of the Frankfurt Big Data Lab at Goethe University and leading the Z-Inspection® initiative, becomes one of Arcada’s affiliated professors. With the appointment, Arcada wants to further strengthen its focus on research in artificial intelligence, especially knowledge of ethical issues related to the field.
A new career center will begin operations in Arabianranta, Helsinki next week. Karriärcenter Arabia, which is launched by Arcada, Prakticum and Sveps, will offer versatile councelling services in Swedish for young people and adults.
Arcada's nursing students are the most satisfied with their education in a comparison between the Finnish universities of applied sciences. This is shown by the AVOP survey 2020, a response survey for students at the universities of applied sciences who are in the final stages of their studies.
Arcada is the first university of applied sciences to join Funidata Oy as a partner. As a shareholder, Arcada gets access to a new digital support system for teaching and studies.
Despite the fact that 2020 was an exceptional year with a transition to distance learning during the ongoing pandemic, a record number of students graduated from Arcada during the year. A total of 507 students completed their studies.
The government's restrictions presented 26.1 continue as before. Therefore, Arcada's instructions for preventing spread of infection continue to apply throughout period 3, ie until 21.3.
