Introduction of Chinees Research

Prof. Wu Jun, the director of Intelligent Video Laboratory, Guangzhou Institute of Software & CAS, and the founder of CAS Cogniser Co. Ltd. He was awarded Special allowances experts of the Chinese State Council in 2018 as one of the youngest experts. He graduated from the University of Tokyo in Japan, major in computer science. He used to work as researcher in INRIA (Institute national de recherche en informatique et en automatique) in France and Waseda University in Japan. He got his master’s degree in Korea with the highest level BK scholarship. During the study as a Doctor in Japan he was responsible for the project between the University of Tokyo and INRIA, which was supported by the government of Japan and France. In 2020, he won the "First Prize in the Electronic Information Group of the Overseas Talent Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition", and the "Ching Lan International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition Champion". Since 2016, Dr. Wu Jun was elected as a member of the China Computer Vision Expert Committee and became a member of the National Security Alarm System Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC100/SC2). He has won many honors such as "High-level Special Talent Support Program" and "Hundred Talents Program". He is also very important editor of the "White Paper on Artificial Intelligence Standardization (2021 Edition)".
