Professional Outreach: Jason Edward Lewis
Abundant Intelligences / IFRC context, grounded in Concordia AI survey synthesis and relational research intent.
This packet extends the existing Nicolas Renaud outreach from cinema and First Peoples Studies into the Indigenous AI research domain led through Abundant Intelligences.
Renaud packet: visual sovereignty and community cinema autonomy. This packet: Indigenous AI research architecture and relational methodology alignment.

Structured from the issue thread to support relationship-based outreach and route-finding.
Core AI concepts: search, reasoning, constraint solving, probabilistic models, and machine learning fundamentals. Bridges theory and deployment. Serves as an entry point for continuing education and graduate study.
Supervised and unsupervised learning, SVMs, decision trees, ensembles, clustering, and dimensionality reduction. Balances mathematical foundations with applied project work on real datasets.
Neural architectures, backpropagation, CNNs, RNNs, and attention/transformer methods. Practical coding focus using benchmark tasks and implementation labs.
NLP, computational linguistics, speech recognition, LLM workflows, and dialogue systems. Uses SpeechBrain-focused practical workflows for speech and conversational pipelines.
Knowledge-based systems, ontologies, semantic web, and reasoning under uncertainty. Bridges symbolic AI with data-driven systems for structured knowledge design.
Design, deployment, and maintenance of AI software systems with lifecycle and governance focus. Includes engineering and organizational readiness concerns for AI systems.
