I'm currently a student at the UofA, and I do Machine Learning / Deep Learning professionally; These are pretty good news, I know a lot of these professors personally and they do a lot of great (fundamental) work in the field of RL / ML, with a lot of collaboration happening between the university and the private sectors.
Hopefully, this will provide the needed boost to the University's CS department, and particularly Edmonton's tech sector.
