Naver Clova announced on the 27th that it published 66 regular papers at an internationally prestigious artificial intelligence (AI) conference this year.
Including papers published by Search CIC, Papago, Naver Labs Europe, and Line, the number of papers presented by Naver and its affiliates at global academic conferences this year amounts to 112. In particular, double-digit numbers of papers were published at world-class AI conferences such as ICASSP, Interspeech, ICCV, and EMNLP.
Including academic journals, workshops, and challenges in addition to regular paper presentations, it is evaluated that Naver, NLE, and Line achieved the result of listing as many as 185 AI papers in one year.
Naver explained that it led the discussion on Korean AI in global academia this year based on ‘ultra-scale AI’. At the recent ‘NeurIPS 2021’, Naver announced ‘KLUE’ (Korean Language Understanding Evaluation), in which Naver played a key role.
KLUE is the first Korean natural language understanding (NLU) benchmark dataset in which about 20 domestic and foreign companies and research institutes participated, and is essential for accurate performance evaluation of language models and effective AI learning.
Naver also announced that it is making efforts to secure global AI technology by establishing a joint research center with Seoul National University and KAIST on the topic of ultra-scale AI and ultra-creative AI, respectively. Each research center reported that researchers from Naver and each school are collaborating closely, and research results are gradually becoming visible.
In addition to the two schools, he explained that meaningful results are being achieved through active research collaboration with various domestic universities such as Korea University, Yonsei University, GIST, UNIST, and Sogang University.
Ha Jeong-woo, head of Naver AI Lab, said, “Our ultimate goal is to ensure that the AI technology researched and developed by Naver can solve problems and create value in users’ daily lives.” He added, “40% of our research results go to actual AI services.” “It is being applied directly and indirectly,” he said.
Director Ha added, “We will continue to conduct mid- to long-term advanced research for global AI leadership and research to solve real-world problems.”
