Speech title: Theory and application of brain-like mental computing for object recognition

Abstract: 

From DeepBlue to AlphaGo, from Watson to ChatGPT, AI has become the core driving force for a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. In recent years, the research of brain-like intelligence is a hot frontier field in the international research, and the development of brain-like computing has become a national strategy. The current popular deep learning technology requires the design of complex model architecture, analysis and processing of massive sample data, and relies on high-performance computing to achieve industrial applications. Its unexplainability, high energy consumption and expensive sample labeling cost are the bottlenecks restricting the implementation of system application. Brain-like computing will be an important research direction to change this dilemma. In particular, the multi-modal images represented by satellite remote sensing and the spatio-temporal big data of unmanned autonomous systems urgently need the support of high-precision, low-energy, trans-media, multi-modal, high-performance and interpretable brain-like object recognition technology. Human brain nervous system and mental cognitive system are advanced intelligence products evolved over hundreds of millions of years, with super intelligent behavior and super robust. To reveal the information processing mechanism of neural structure and cognitive function, and to study brain-like computing technology inspired by brain and mind, is the best way to realize brain-like target recognition. Aiming at the key issues of target detection, target classification and target recognition, the report will explore the research ideas, theoretical models, core algorithms and system applications of brain-like mental computing based on the structural simulation of nervous system, the functional simulation of cognitive system and the behavioral simulation of natural intelligence.
