Artificial intelligence in the web age

Due to the characteristics of web data and the change of men-machine interaction mode in the web age, artificial intelligence and information processing encounter new challenges and requirements. The new demand is that information processing has to deal with the meaning or semantics of information. Traditional information processing only treats the form of information rather than the meaning. Artificial intelligence intends to handle information as that of human beings, which makes machines to deal with the meaning or to understand the information. This talk presents new artificial intelligence technologies in the context of text and image processing, as well as intelligent robots. We will discuss how artificial intelligence may face the opportunity and challenge, and what strategy we will adopt to deal with them.
