Third Prize of WU WENJUN Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Award
Dr Wong Ngai of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering was awarded a Third Prize in the 2019 nationwide “WU WENJUN Artificial Intelligent Science and Technology Award” with a team project “Development of key technologies for AI edge computing and deep learning chips”. The project was conducted in collaboration with Professor Yu Hao of Southern University of Science and Technology, Professor Zhou Jun of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and Professor Chen Haibo of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The project provides a turnkey solution for low-power high-throughout edge artificial intelligence (AI) computing platforms. It is especially suitable for applications like autonomous driving and robotics in the modern era.
WU WENJEN Artificial Intelligent Science and Technology Award was initiated in 2008 and is currently organised by the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence. It is known as China’s highest award in smart science and technology with aims to recognise those who made outstanding contribution in artificial intelligent field; to mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of the vast number of intelligent scientific and to promote the development of intelligent science and technology.
