In order to promote the application and innovation of AI technology, facilitate academic exchanges and talent training in the field of artificial intelligence, and create an artificial intelligence talent exchange platform and industrial ecosystem, Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAAI) and the People's Government of Yuhang District, Hangzhou jointly launched the first global artificial intelligence technology innovation contest. And it has received active participation and support from leading technology companies such as Alibaba Cloud and OPPO. Aliyun Tianchi platform provides platform and computing power support for this contest.

AI Youth Talk is a series of activities organized by the organizers of the contest to enhance the understanding of the young developers on AI. Well- known young scholars are invited to discuss hot topics in the theoretical research and application practice. The third issue of AI Youth Talk has Ji Rongrong, a professor in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Xiamen University, and Lin Weiyao, a professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering, School of Electronics and Information, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, as their guests to discuss the core content of “computer vision for the next five years”.

Over the past ten years, the field of computer vision has flourished, and breakthroughs in deep learning technology have allowed machines to surpass humans in many visual tasks. Computer vision is also the most widely used artificial intelligence technology. At the same time, there are also some applications of computer vision technology that have caused controversy and concerns, such as the privacy issues of face recognition and fake videos of face changing.

What is the ultimate goal of computer vision? What will be the focus of computer vision research in the next 5 years? With the emergence of the argument that “deep learning has entered a bottleneck period”, is there a “future” for entering computer vision in 2021? These have become the most concerned issues.

In order to promote the application and innovation of AI technology, facilitate academic exchanges and talent training in the field of artificial intelligence, and create an artificial intelligence talent exchange platform and industrial ecosystem, Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAAI) and the People's Government of Yuhang District, Hangzhou jointly launched the first global artificial intelligence technology innovation contest. And it has received active participation and support from leading technology companies such as Alibaba Cloud and OPPO. Aliyun Tianchi platform provides computing power support for this contest.

In order to expand the influence and social attention of the contest and promote the development and exchange of artificial intelligence technology, the organizer specially launched the "AI Youth Talk" series of activities during the contest, inviting well-known young scholars to discuss hot topics in theoretical research and application practice，which faces artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technology practitioners and pan-tech crowd.

In the third phase of the "AI Youth Talk" series, two young scholars in the field of computer vision, Ji Rongrong and Lin Weiyao, gave wonderful topic sharing on "Compression and Acceleration of Neural Networks" and "Comprehension and Compression of Visual Objects" respectively., giving their insights on topics such as "Computer Vision in the Next Five Years".
