in the remote and mysterious Middle East , in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, originated from the Institute of Artificial Intelligence (IIAI, full name Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence), in 2018 Established at the beginning of the year.
The purpose of the research institute is very clear, to become (no, quickly become) a leading AI organization in the Middle East.
According to "Dear Data", we learned exclusively: "AI University was built with the help of IIAI, and the offices are all on the same building."
The scientists and engineers of the Origin Artificial Intelligence Research Institute hope to develop vigorously. Basic research and application research of artificial intelligence, design and develop efficient and intelligent learning models and methods, comprehensively deepen the rapid development of artificial intelligence and medical, smart cities, remote sensing and other fields, and nurture future leaders in the field of artificial intelligence.
The world's top science and technology journal "Science" published in volume 361, issue 6408:
"Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence: A Bold Initiative to Foster Global AI Research and Innovation" article, introducing the origin of artificial intelligence research hospital.
It is reported that the researcher of the Origin Artificial Intelligence Research Institute has very competitive treatment (real hammer! tax-free salary!)
Mohammed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) Initiated by Professor Shao Ling,From the origin of artificial intelligence research institute incubated , the world's first artificial intelligence university.
Professor Shao is an IEEE Fellow, IAPR Fellow and IET Fellow. His research interests include computer vision , deep learning/machine learning, medical imaging and image/video processing. He has published more than 300 papers in top conferences/journals (such as ICCV, CVPR , ECCV, NeurIPS, MICCAI, TPAMI and IJCV).
Professor Shao Ling, as the founding executive principal, led more than ten outstanding scholars in the field of artificial intelligence as a faculty member, and admitted nearly 2,000 applicants from 29 countries 100 master students and doctoral students.
, under the leadership of Professor Shao Ling, officially announced on November 29, 2020 that Professor Eric P. Xing, the world’s top AI Chinese scholar, will serve as the President of the Mohammed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI). Promote university research and talent education in the frontier field of AI.
Professor Xing took the "stick" from the interim principal Sir Michael Brady. Since the establishment of the school, Sir Jazz has made great contributions to the leadership development of the school, and he is still a member of the school board of directors.
The first batch of students will be enrolled in January 2021.
According to my dear data: "Students not only don't need tuition fees, but also free accommodation. Master's degree will be paid about $2,000 per month, and doctorate will be paid about $3,000 per month."
Muhammad Ben· Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), also said: “We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Xing as President. He is one of the most important scholars in the field of artificial intelligence in the world and an outstanding understanding of artificial intelligence applications. Business leaders."
In addition, Song Le, a tenured associate professor in the Department of Computing Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, also teaches the school. He is one of the board members of the International Span5span Machine Learning Association, and the author of the 35th International Conference on Machine Learning Technology (ICML) with the number of signed papers ranked third, alongside two other scientists.
Professor Song Le told the editor-in-chief of "Dear Data" Tan Jing: "He is currently teaching in this university."
Supervisor of post-doctorate at CMU University. Professor Xing Bo is really full of peaches and plums.
“Tao Zhou, Deng-Ping Fan, Ming-Ming Cheng, Jianbing Shen, Ling Shao, RGB-D salientobject detection: A survey. Computational Visual Media, 2021.” _5span6span this 33-page review paper,Published online in the Journal of Computational Visual Media, a comprehensive review of the RGB-D-based salient object detection (SOD) model from different perspectives, and detailed evaluation of many representative works.
This review paper was jointly published on CVMJ by Dr. Zhou Tao, Dr. Fan Dengping, Professor Mingming Cheng of Nankai University, Professor Jianbing Shen and Professor Ling Shao of the Origin Artificial Intelligence Research Institute.
According to other information, Dr. Fan Dengping also joined the Origin Artificial Intelligence Research Institute as a researcher at IIAI. He was a senior algorithm engineer at Alibaba Dharma Academy.
's main research directions are computer vision, medical image processing, and basic theories and methods of artificial intelligence. In the past five years, he has published nearly 30 academic papers in top CCFA international journals and conferences (TPAMI, CVPR), and won the CVPR Best Paper Nomination Award for two consecutive years (selection rates are 0.8% and 0.4%).
Dr. Fan Dengping was called by the "Dear Data" technical consultant: "There is a great god named Fan, who publishes articles quite fiercely."
Dear data learned exclusively: " Some of the faculty are also directly passed by IIAI employees.”
At the same time, the university is also integrating scientific and technological resources in the UAE.
March 28, 2021, Mohammed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) and Technology Innovation Institute (Technology Innovation Institute) signed a strategic agreement,Promote the development of artificial intelligence (AI) programs through cooperation and strengthen the AI ecosystem in the UAE and overseas.
Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC)'s applied research pillar department Technology Innovation Institute (Technology Innovation Institute, TII) pioneering global research and development center, established to consolidate the UAE's status as a global innovation center.
initially has 7 departments in quantum, autonomous robots, cryptography , advanced materials, digital security, directed energy and security systems.
University and the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) established a strategic partnership to achieve joint basic research and application research in several key areas of AI with a collaborative framework, including neuromorphic computing, UAV R&D, autonomous vehicles, Design and development of biologically inspired robots.
Advanced Technology Research Committee Secretary-General Faisal Al Bannai said:
’s partnership with Mohammed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (ZUAIAI) Develop and create a strong synergy for the two organizations.
to promote the frontiers of knowledge, benefit science, society, economy and the world. Artificial intelligence is the country’s top priority and is the seven original specialized research centers of TII At the core of cutting-edge research, these research centers are dedicated to their respective quantum, autonomous robotics, cryptography, advanced materials, digital security, directed energy and security systems."_Span6span
Professor Xing Bo said in an interview with foreign media:
"There is no doubt that this will bring beneficial advanced research opportunities to industry, enterprises and society in the UAE and the world. Advancing the development of artificial intelligence and unlocking the full potential of this extraordinary technology will require cross-industry and cross-regional cooperation. The Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) is firmly committed to establishing strategic partnerships with leaders in their respective fields. The cooperation with the Institute of Technology Innovation will enable the AI community and our students to gain access to the AI field. Extensive resources and expertise. _Span6span
A group of insightful people in the Middle East, who are very eager to pursue cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, and execute them with strong action. (End)
