- | - **Explore new neural computing models for machine learning: | + | |
- | With the help of advanced computing resources (particularly the general purpose GPU computing platform), we will explore new neural | + | |
- | computing models and algorithms to take advantage of big data available in today’s mobile Internet era. Particularly, | + | |
- | novel effective unsupervised learning algorithms for neural networks to explore abundant real world unlabeled data for self-learning and | + | |
- | adaptation. Moreover, we will research more advanced neural models with long and/or short memory capabilities to explore sequential | + | |
- | information within a longer context window for more complex AI tasks, such as human-machine dialogues. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | - **Investigate neural representations of knowledge for artificial cognition** | + | |
- | Neural models have achieved huge successes in data modeling. Comparing with data modeling, it is a more challenging problem to represent | + | |
- | world knowledge. Knowledge representation requires organizing human knowledge (including common sense, common knowledge and | + | |
- | domain-specific information) in an orderly way, as opposed to learning statistical models from all pooled data sets in data modeling. We will | + | |
- | investigate a new research direction, named as neural representation of knowledge, to represent all relevant concepts, discrete in nature, as | + | |
- | distributed representations in continuous semantic spaces and use a large-scale artificial neural networks (named as semantic brain) to store all | + | |
- | possible relations and sematic links among these concepts. The advantages of this new approach lie in two aspects: i) Distributed | + | |
- | representations of discrete concepts allow to use regular learning methods for knowledge presentation and the networks may be expanded in | + | |
- | size to store as many conceptual relations as needed; ii) All concepts and their relations are stored as distributed representations in semantic | + | |
- | brain, allowing to use some heuristic search strategies to perform the basic thinking in a humanoid way, such as reasoning and association. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | - | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | The new neural computing models and algorithms will be applied to some multimedia AI tasks involving speech, language and image/ | + | |
- | More particularly, | + | |
- | applications include personal assistant agent running in smart phones. ii) Deep natural language processing and understanding. Its typical | + | |
- | applications include automatic machine Q&A systems in general domain, like semantic search engines, or some particular query system in | + | |
- | some domains, like medical, health, legal and so on. iii) Image and video scene analysis. Its typical applications include | + | |
- | navigation and controlling. | + | |
