That's quite impressive. If you go by sheer numer in a city, Pittsburgh could have more because of Carnegie Mellon, affiliated institutes, Uber research center, and startups stemming from them.
The number of AI researchers in the Bay area might be even larger. Many researchers associated with large companies publish papers at a rate comparable to academics. Boston, Redmond, and Beijing are some other contenders.
Edit: Researchers in large company and institutions are not 'independent' so not included in their quote above. So yes, technically the article could be right, but it should not matter much whether the researchers work as part of an institution as long as their work is publicly published.
- mablap 10y agoIf you have some free time ( ;) ) I would be very interested in seeing a proper ranking. Maybe they're limiting themselves to "Deep Learning AI" when they say Montreal has one of the biggest concentrations of researchers in the world.
- nopinsight 10y agoI guess you are right regarding Deep Learning. Even then, it might be hard to beat the Bay Area. Unfortunately it would take a lot of work to do a proper ranking (and many companies might not make the info public). Maybe we need a better AI for that. ;)
- jay-saint 10y agoIf you strictly looked at published papers on the subject matter and looked at the location of the authors you could do this relatively simple.
