Two Mayo students competed at the National Final of the 18th All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad (AILO), hosted by the ADAPT Centre at Dublin City University.
AILO is run by ADAPT, the Reach Ireland Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology. The competition challenges students to apply skills of data analytics.
Speaking about the event, Director of ADAPT, Professor John Kelleher, said AILO is a showcase of the analytical ability, curiosity, and capability of Ireland’s young people.

“The students who have reached the final have demonstrated exceptional problem-solving skills. The skills developed here are directly transferable to the real world, and we hope they will give them a love of computing and data-driven research.
“We are very proud to host the final at DCU and to support an all-island initiative that opens up these futures to students from every background.” He added.
The finalists progressed through a preliminary round, involving nearly 1,000 competitors, held in schools earlier this year.
The results of the AILO final will be released in mid-March.
