我们的应用研究团队正在与不同领域的专家合作，以提供针对当前问题的实际解决方案。例如，我们正在构建一个世界领先的视频理解平台，该平台可以开启一个新时代，即如何通过高度复杂的视频分析来有效利用监视和控制设备。该技术可用于面部检测和注释，对象识别和跟踪，场景分析和标记，人类行为分析和内容增强。

此外，IIAI 和多个国际知名高校组织，如牛津大学、阿姆斯特丹大学、纽约大学阿布扎比分校等，建立了合作关系，包括成立联合实验室，联合培养博士生项目，互派访问研究人员，共同研发等。例如，2019年3月，IIAI和阿姆斯特丹大学联合成立了AIM实验室（AI for Medical Imaging Lab），并全额资助了阿姆斯特丹大学一名助理教授和7名博士生。

在人工智能教育方面，穆罕默德·本·扎耶德人工智能大学（MBZUAI）是由邵岭教授发起从IIAI孵化的全球第一所人工智能大学。作为MBZUAI创校执行校长 (Executive Vice President and Provost)，邵岭教授带领MBZUAI已聘请十多位人工智能领域的优秀学者入职教师队伍，并从29个国家的2000多名申请人中录取了近100名硕士生和博士生，其中一些学生来自世界一流大学：新加坡国立大学、墨尔本大学、威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校等。第一批学生已于2021年1月入学。在邵岭教授的牵头下， MBZUAI于12月份正式宣布世界顶级AI华人学者邢波（Eric P. Xing）教授担任MBZUAI的校长，推进大学在AI前沿领域的研究和人才教育。

Vacancies at Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence (IIAI)

Introduction

Founded in early 2018, IIAI has quickly become the region’s leading institute for AI. With our world-class scientists and engineers, we provide both fundamental and applied research that pushes the boundaries of AI knowledge and its application for solving complex real-world problems across domains.  Further details can be found in the 2018 Science article titled “Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence: A Bold Initiative to Foster Global AI Research and Innovation.” (Click figure 1. or Read more)

Figure 1. Science article on IIAI.

Our applied research teams are working with experts in different areas to provide real-world solutions to current problems. For example, we are building a world-leading video understanding platform that can unlock a new era of how to effectively utilize monitoring and control devices with highly sophisticated video analytics. This technology can be deployed for face detection and annotation, object identification and tracking, scene analysis and tagging, human behavior analysis and content enhancement. 

In addition, IIAI has established cooperative relations with many internationally renowned universities, such as Oxford University, the University of Amsterdam and New York University Abu Dhabi. These partnerships include the establishment of joint laboratories, joint training programs for doctoral students, exchange of visiting researchers, and joint R&D. For example, in March 2019, IIAI and the University of Amsterdam jointly established the AI for Medical Imaging (AIM) Laboratory, and fully funded an assistant professor and seven PhD students.   

Figure 2. IIAI and the University of Amsterdam jointly established the AIM Lab.

In terms of artificial intelligence education, the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), the world's first university dedicated specifically to AI, was initiated by IIAI’s CEO and Chief Scientist, Professor Ling Shao, and incubated by IIAI in 2019. As the Executive Vice President and Provost of MBZUAI, Professor Shao has led the university to hire more than a dozen outstanding scholars in the field as faculty members, and admit nearly 100 top-tier students from 29 countries, selected from a pool of more than 2,000 applicants. These include both masters and doctoral students, many of whom come from world-class universities, such as the National University of Singapore, the University of Melbourne, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This inaugural class began their studies in January 2021. MBZUAI also officially announced in December 2020 that Professor Eric P. Xing, a top academic in the field, will serve as President to promote research and education in AI. 

Figure 3. MBZUAI, the world's first artificial intelligence university, was established.

Finally, IIAI also continues to contribute to fundamental research and has published over 300 papers in top international conferences and journals (e.g., 75 CVPR, 28 ICCV and  15 TPAMI papers).
