Cao Shumin, secretary of the university party committee, President Xu Huibin, Zheng Zhiming, president of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, and Jin Rong, secretary of the party committee, unveiled the plaque for the Institute. From left to right are Jin Rong, Xu Huibin, Cao Shumin and Zheng Zhiming.
The newly established Artificial Intelligence Research Institute is headed by Academician Zheng Zhiming. Academician Zheng is a professor at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017, with his main work focusing on research at the intersection of mathematics and information, such as air and space information security and complex information systems. He created kinetic cryptography - cryptanalytic principles and methods based on the fusion of algebra and dynamics, broke through the technical bottleneck of high-speed, low-consumption, multi-mode and other technologies for air and space information security, and developed a successful series of new equipment for air and space security and put it on the market.
Academician Zheng Zhiming
According to Academician Zheng Zhiming, the Beihang Institute of Artificial Intelligence will be based on the theory of precision intelligence for scientific data, and consists of the core of the theory of intelligence, the platform of intelligent technology and intelligent application systems to form the construction route and the next step in the planning concept. Academician Zheng Zhiming said in his speech: it is especially important to point out that the conclusion of the argument for the development of artificial intelligence in our university is very significantly different from the current research characteristics of many domestic and foreign artificial intelligence research institutions. We are carried out on the basis of the original good theory, technology and application. The future development of artificial intelligence, regardless of theory, technology, or application, will migrate to the scientific data-oriented precision intelligence theory, which is a theory that has been developed in our school for many years. Deriving disruptive technologies from the original innovation of precision intelligence theory to transformative applications will not only have a high academic standing, but will also promote major innovations in the aerospace and information technology fields of our university and produce a series of important results. We are confident that under the leadership of the party committee of the university, we will walk at the forefront of theory, occupy the new heights of technology, and gain new advantages in industry. The higher the starting point, the greater the difficulty, which will be a multidisciplinary depth of the intersection of the difficult problem, the only way to carry forward the spirit of the North aviation spirit of service to the country, adhere to the 'ten years to sharpen a sword' of the spirit of science, and at the same time unconventional, pay close attention to the introduction of young and outstanding talents, cultivation and international high-level academic exchanges.
In the official website of Beijing Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Institute of Artificial Intelligence has become an independent college at the same level as the School of Microelectronics and the School of Software, etc. However, the official website of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence is still under construction, in which the faculty is expected to enroll in the scale of the more detailed information has not yet been announced. According to the previous enrollment information of Beihang Artificial Intelligence program, its faculty may be the main faculty of the School of Computer Science, and part of the faculty will come from the intersection of disciplines within the school as well as from the leading enterprises and research institutes of the researchers.
Beihang official website: list of colleges
Beihang's AI-related disciplines have performed very well in the assessment, in which the ratings of software engineering, computer science and technology, etc., are A and A+ categories, and in the previous enrollment of AI majors, Beihang plans to recruit 30 undergraduates to the School of Computer Science as the carrier college, the joint School of Mathematics and Systems Science, School of Economics and Management, School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, Big Data Science and Brain-Computer Intelligence High Precision Center and other units to implement a professional cross-cultivation model, focusing on comprehensively improving the overall quality of students, expanding the professional orientation of students, and enhancing the social adaptability and competitiveness of students. Beihang is as one of the key universities in artificial intelligence research, with a large number of innovative achievements, in the field of theoretical research, a group of academicians such as academician Li Wei, academician Pan Yunhe, academician Gao Wen, academician Chen Chun, and other academicians have taken the lead in initiating the argumentation of major special projects on artificial intelligence in China. In the 2019 Ministry of Science and Technology "new generation of artificial intelligence" major project announcement, Beihang 2 projects were selected, respectively, "Internet-based group intelligence emergence mechanism and computational methods" and "group behavior-oriented group intelligence stimulation convergence research", the number of selected projects is tied for the second in the number of universities and colleges. has two distinctive features. First, the weight of mathematics is high. In addition to mathematical analysis, probability and algebra, the AI major also sets up optimization methods and mathematics in intelligent computing. Second, the knowledge is broad. The required courses include courses related to cognitive science and control science.
The Ministry of Education's small goal of 50 artificial intelligence institutes has basically been achieved
On April 2, 2018, the Ministry of Education issued the "Action Plan for Artificial Intelligence Innovation in Higher Education", which explicitly proposed that in order to "strengthen the cultivation of talents in the field of artificial intelligence," "by 2020 50 artificial intelligence colleges, research institutes or cross-research centers will be established by 2020".
According to Lei Feng network AI technology review, as of January 14, 2020, China's colleges and universities and scientific research units have established nearly 50, basically completing the goals of the Plan.
