LG AI Research Center at LG Science Park in southwestern Seoul / Courtesy of LGBy Kim Jae-heunLG's artificial intelligence (AI) researchers are moving quickly to lead the convergence trend of visual AI and language AI. The company's research center will hold the LG Global AI Challenge for AI researchers around the world from Feb. 1 until the end of April, LG said Tuesday. To hold the competition, LG will establish a joint research center with Seoul National University's AI Graduate School and U.S. stock image provider Shutterstock. LG Global AI Challenge will be held online to evaluate how accurately an AI understands and explains images presented to it, under the theme of "zero-shot image captioning." As zero-shot image captioning advances over time and an AI's image recognition accuracy improves, LG believes the technology will have real-life applications.
