Wine Research Centre

The Wine Research Centre at the University of British Columbia was established in 1999.

Background

Its mission is to conduct research in enology and viticulture and to prepare graduates with relevant scientific expertise and enterprise who will promote the technological advancement of the wine industry in Canada.

As of 2006, 28 scientists are conducting research into the molecular genetics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Vitis vinifera. Students learn experimental research design, genetic, biochemical and molecular technology, fermentation technology and viticulture.

An Advisory Board consisting of proprietors, winemakers, growers, representatives from the Liquor Distribution Branch, Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre at Summerland and the British Columbia Wine Institute guide the activities of the Wine Research Centre.

gollark: Basically, your simple English description of what you want implicitly assumes a bunch of human knowledge - *specialized expert* human knowledge, even - which would require vast amounts of difficult development to get in an AI.
gollark: Oh, and if it's a paper it might not even come with code or it might be really awful code, yes.
gollark: The code/paper you find isn't going to be conveniently usable by just downloading it and copypasting it into your AI's code or something. You'll probably have to actually understand how it works, yet another unfathomable general intelligence task, figure out how it interfaces with the rest of the code or if it can even be used together at all, and possibly rewrite it entirely to fit with what you need.
gollark: "Pluck it out" is also easy to say, but it's actually even harder.
gollark: "Find useful stuff" also sounds pleasantly easy, but it's *not*. Even a human reading a repository or paper may struggle to find "useful" bits; reasoning about the relevance of a new set of information or methods for a project is a difficult general intelligence task.
