HKUST Establishes Joint Lab on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision with Face

Megvii's Co-founder and CEO Yin Qi said, "From an academic research team to a commercialized company, I have always sought to balance technical faith and commercial value. The deeper we go into the industry, the more we realize how important scientific research it is, so this year, we set up an academic committee and invited renowned scholars like Andrew Yao Chi-Chih and Nanning Zheng as our consultants. Meanwhile we also hope that we can establish relations with first-class universities such as HKUST, so then, we built the joint laboratory. I think today is a brand new start to both sides, we will regard this as a starting point to our future success in scientific and technological cooperation between HKUST and Megvii."
