“…to achieve ideals, create value, incubate first-class research work, serve major national needs and effectively create social and economic benefits."

-- LI Peng

"Research on specific applications should still start from specific applications and try to solve core problems."

-- ZHOU Hao

Prior to joining AIR, both PhDs had accumulated rich experience in the industry and had made major breakthroughs and innovations in their respective fields. LI Peng has been engaged in research and application work related to natural language processing. He said that the development of natural language processing in China has been very rapid and has gradually progressed from a catch-up state to being able to compete with international counterparts at a close or equal level. ZhOU Hao, on the other hand, is very interested in research in the field of intelligent healthcare: "This is a very good application area with a huge impact." In his opinion, research in specific applications should still start from specific applications and try to solve the core problems.
