At 60, where is ARTIFICIAL intelligence heading? China Artificial Intelligence Conference 2016 (CCAI 2016) is the largest and highest level academic and technical event in the field of artificial intelligence in China this year, gathering insights from nearly 40 world top AI experts and revealing the frontiers and application paths of artificial intelligence research for practitioners and the general public.

Giiso Information, founded in 2013, is a leading technology provider in the field of “artificial intelligence + information” in China, with top technologies in big data mining, intelligent semantics, knowledge mapping and other fields. At the same time, its research and development products include editing robots, writing robots and other artificial intelligence products! With its strong technical strength, the company has received angel round investment at the beginning of its establishment, and received pre-A round investment of $5 million from GSR Venture Capital in August 2015.

The 2016 China Artificial Intelligence Conference (CCAI 2016) was held in Liaoning Building in Beijing on August 26, 2016. The conference was sponsored by The Chinese Society for Artificial Intelligence under the guidance of The China Association for Science and Technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and co-hosted by the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and CSDN. Conference for two days, in addition to from the international association for the advancement of artificial intelligence, Massachusetts institute of technology, and academician of the Chinese “both” institutions such as the eight/Fellow collision of ideas, the assembly also set the “artificial intelligence driver human-computer interaction”, “BBS” artificial intelligence industry, youth BBS “artificial intelligence” and “machine learning tomorrow” and so on four big project BBS, By the Chinese Academy of Sciences, tsinghua university and Peking University experts and scholars, and Microsoft, BAT and drabs technology elite and start-ups and the field of artificial intelligence is widely participation, content covers issues direction of machine learning, human-computer interaction, pattern recognition, natural language processing (NLP), and other popular/cutting-edge research in the field of artificial intelligence and industry of actual combat, On the basis of leading the artificial intelligence vane, it pays attention to the close combination of industry, university and research, which fully embodies the goal of the Conference to guide and promote the research and application of artificial intelligence in China. More than 1,000 ai professionals and media representatives attended the event as live audience.

High-end event: 8 academicians interpret the technological frontier

Sixty years ago, the Dartmouth conference, sponsored by Marvin Minsky, John Mcarthy and Claude Shannon among others, gave rise to what is now a hot academic field: artificial intelligence. By 2016, Minsky was gone, artificial intelligence, which has been on its way for 60 years to become a star of the moment, was expanding its influence on the natural sciences as a whole, its research field had gone beyond what was supposed, and the Turing Test was no longer the absolute standard for evaluating ARTIFICIAL intelligence. In CCAI 2016, 8 academicians /Fellow’s wonderful reports comprehensively interpreted the most cutting-edge and important direction in the field of artificial intelligence.

Decoding the present and future of ARTIFICIAL intelligence. , vice President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, vice director of China’s artificial intelligence report the topic of “thinking about artificial intelligence development”, based on artificial intelligence 60 years development course, current development of artificial intelligence and the new emphasis on dynamic, remind practitioners to calm thinking deeply for the future development of artificial intelligence.



Cracking the new code for robot/human-computer interaction. Robot’s investment is currently a hot spot, but technical maturity of robots need a lot of breakthroughs, how to make the academic research can become productive forces with the fastest speed, how to realize the robot a better understanding of human, and human collaboration and become human automatic agent are the subject must be solved to current and interesting. As a leading figure in the field of robotics or NLP, Li Zexiang, chairman of DJI Innovation Technology Company and professor of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, reported “Intelligent Robots: From Academic Research to Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Report on Challenges in Planning for Human-Robot Cohabitation by Subbarao (Rao) Kambhampati, President of the International Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and Professor at the University of Arizona, USA, And Singularity. IO co-founder and ACL Fellow Lindcom’s report “From Search Engine to Answer Engine to Action Engine Question-answering” well answers the above questions.

Cognitive/neuroscience reunderstanding. Although ARTIFICIAL intelligence is not the reproduction of human intelligence, the study of human intelligence is of great significance for artificial intelligence to assist human beings better. In fact, both cognitive science and neuroscience have profoundly influenced the development of artificial intelligence. “Interactive Cognition: From the Turing Test’s Vulnerability” by Li Deyi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of the Chinese Association of Artificial Intelligence; “What Can Neuroscience Bring to ARTIFICIAL Intelligence?” by Pu Muming, director of the Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences and foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “The Science and The Engineering of Intelligence” by Tomaso Poggio, professor of The MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and fellow of The American Academy of Humanities and Sciences, It opens new doors for the combination of cognitive science, neuroscience and other fields of ARTIFICIAL intelligence.

Giiso information, founded in 2013, is the first domestic high-tech enterprise focusing on the research and development of intelligent information processing technology and the development and operation of core software for writing robots. At the beginning of its establishment, the company received angel round investment, and in August 2015, GSR Venture Capital received $5 million pre-A round of investment.

Illuminate the future of unsupervised deep learning. One of the most important implications of neuroscience for ARTIFICIAL intelligence is the deep neural networks that are currently all over the top conferences/journals. However, the current distress of practitioners of deep learning is that only supervised deep learning plays a role in most scenarios. Unsupervised deep learning, though significant, is extremely difficult to implement. At this conference, The report “Three Types of Deep Learning Models driving Various Applications of Big Data ARTIFICIAL Intelligence” by Deng Li, chief scientist of Microsoft artificial Intelligence and IEEE Fellow, based on the team’s practical experience, provides a feasible new paradigm for the research and application of unsupervised deep learning.
