According to Harbin Institute of Technology, according to Harbin Institute of Technology, on the morning of May 5, the inauguration ceremony of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of HIT and the “Intelligent & Creative Future” artificial intelligence high-end forum were held in the International Conference Center of Science Park. Harbin Institute of Technology integrates the whole school artificial intelligence Resources in relevant fields, formally established artificial intelligence research institute, Dean of the School of Computer Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Professor Wang Yadong, Dean of School of Software, served as the dean of the first Academy. After the establishment of the Institute, it will be based on theory, technology, platform, application of four levels. , Artificial Intelligence Foundation and Machine Learning, Intelligent Control Theory, Brain Science and Brain Intelligence, etc. are organized in 8 directions.
It is reported that the first batch of 30 researchers will be assigned to the research institute, and a group of outstanding young and middle-aged scholars in the field of artificial intelligence in the school will be concentrated. The research institute will face the development of artificial intelligence science, technology and industry, bringing together first-rate research teams and creating first-rate research teams. The results of the research, training first-class scientific and technological personnel, to create a world-class artificial intelligence innovation base.
In order to better integrate the wisdom of experts and scholars, representatives of industrial enterprises, set up intellectual solutions, provide advice and suggestions, and jointly promote the rapid development of the Institute, the Institute has set up an academic committee. Academician Gao Wen served as academic membership director. From IBM, Microsoft, The first batch of national artificial intelligence open innovation platforms Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, HKUST, and four major companies in the United States, Germany, Canada, Hong Kong, China and other famous universities and institutions at home and abroad, well-known experts and scholars of research institutions, industry leaders as academic committee members .
Deputy Secretary-General of the Heilongjiang Provincial Government Li Mingchun Li Mingchun said in his speech that the establishment of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence is another important measure for HIT to reflect the “source of Longjiang's first technological innovation” and assist Longjiang to revitalize development. At the beginning of this year, Heilongjiang Province was introduced. The "Three-year Special Action Plan for Artificial Intelligence Industry" hopes to strengthen the artificial intelligence innovation capacity building, promote the industrialization of artificial intelligence, and realize the coordinated development of the value chain of the innovation chain industry chain. Over the years, HIT has planted Longjiang for its defense space industry. We have made great contributions to our business and national economic construction, completed a number of major achievements with leading international standards, and are one of the first universities to carry out artificial intelligence research in China. The provincial party committee and the provincial government will fully support the development of the research institute. I hope the research institute In the basic theoretical research of artificial intelligence, the core key technology research, support platform construction, innovation applications and industrial development and other aspects to carry out solid and effective work, as soon as the output is fruitful.
In fact, as far back as the 1950s, HIT started research on artificial intelligence and started almost at the same time as research on artificial intelligence in the world. In 1958, our university developed the first domestic computer that would play chess and talked. Secretary of the State Council, Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping, visited the computer during his visit. For more than half a century, HIT has not only cultivated a group of outstanding artificial intelligence leaders represented by Academician Gao Wen, but also cultivated artificial intelligence talents as a whole. The number ranks first in the country.
In terms of artificial intelligence, HIT has a strong foundation and wide coverage. There are 7 first-level disciplines in the university and artificial intelligence are closely related. Among them, four disciplines such as computer and control are selected as “two-class” construction disciplines. Since 2000, in the field of artificial intelligence Machine-sensing and pattern recognition, natural language processing, robotics and intelligent systems, etc. achieved a number of important scientific research results, won 13 national science and technology awards, and published more than 2,000 articles.
In addition, HIT has established close cooperation with famous companies at home and abroad, such as IBM, Microsoft, Baidu, Ali, Tencent, and HKUST, to jointly carry out scientific research and joint training of talents. A large number of innovative achievements have been successfully applied and promoted. A large number of outstanding graduates took part in artificial intelligence research and received praise from employers.
