- The Key Laboratory of Intelligent Information Processing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is an important building block of the Institute of Computing Technology (ICT, CAS). With intensive support from ICT and the academic committee of the laboratory, it has become one of the most important fundamental research bases for intelligent information processing in CAS since its founding in 1987.
- The research of this key laboratory serves national major strategic requirements, achieving international-level technological advances and facilitating China’s economy. The laboratory’s mission involves in-depth exploration of the mechanism, theory, methodology and technology of machine perception and cognition; fundamental research on applications and proposals for new concepts and models; solutions to crucial technical challenges, and construction of the corresponding systems. In addition to its world-class fundamental studies in intelligent information processing, the key laboratory promotes forward-looking ideas, produces first-class research, and nurtures talents capable of unraveling fundamental challenges in the field. Assignment of these goals includes the expectation that the laboratory will to provide basic principles, core technologies, and key application prototypes for intelligent technology, provide technical support for the coming transformation from AI to AI+, and capture knowledge, talents, and innovation for China’s long-term IT development.
- In intelligent processing, the four infrastructures targeted are information acquisition, representation, understanding, and transformation. Assisted by the advantages of ICT systems and network, the laboratory undertakes tasks involving computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning/data mining, natural language processing, multimedia technology, medical image analysis, bioinformatics, large-scale knowledge processing, and intelligent human-machine interface.
- With over 200 CCF-A journal (IEEE T PAMI, IEEE TIP, IJCV, AI) and conference (CVPR, ICCV, ACL, AAAI, IJCAI, ACM MM) papers garnering more than 50,000 citations, the key laboratory has won several major awards. Among them, a paper on neural machine translation, published by ACL, won the 2019 Best Long Paper Award. The lab has been authorized for over 100 China patents for invention. Its studies on high-dimensional and non-linear visual patterns won second prize in the 2015 National Natural Science Award competition.
- In the area of useful applications, the laboratory’s proposed techniques on facial recognition, machine translation, knowledge processing, and protein sequence prediction have been applied in industry, with some applications, transferred successfully into products for our partners, offering promising socioeconomic benefits.
