Korea Deep Learning Co., Ltd. announced that it was finally selected for the ‘2022 Artificial Intelligence Learning Data Construction Project’ and will build the world’s first ink-and-wash painting data.
The ‘Artificial Intelligence Learning Data Construction Project’ is a ‘data dam’ construction project that builds artificial intelligence (AI) learning data on a large scale and opens it through an AI hub. The goal is to lower the entry barrier to AI adoption and development for companies and institutions, and is being hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and promoted by the National Information Society Agency (NIA).
Last April, Korea Deep Learning was selected for the project to build learning data in the field of ‘production data for each traditional Korean ink painting style’. We plan to form a consortium with Kyunghee University, the host institution, Seoul National University, the participating institutions, and AllbigDet, and work on building data by the end of November.
In this field, 2,200 pieces of original ink-and-wash painting data reclassified based on difficulty are distributed to carefully selected ink-and-wash painting artists, and the various expression techniques of ink-and-wash painting are processed into image data together with experts in each special domain.
Korea Deep Learning, which was in charge of data processing and model development in this consortium, introduced AI solutions to public institutions such as the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and many large financial companies such as Shinhan Financial Group. With the experience and know-how of six AI patents, it is expected that great results will be achieved not only in simple data processing but also in artificial intelligence model development.
Kim Ji-hyun, CEO of Korea Deep Learning, said, “Through the newly formed consortium, we plan to process the various expression techniques of ink-and-wash painting into data in a form that can be easily utilized by AI models.” He added, “Using AI technology, we will promote the direction of ink-and-wash painting education and promote traditional ink-and-wash painting education.” He emphasized, “The ultimate goal of this project is to strengthen interest and understanding of art.”
Meanwhile, Korea Deep Learning has been recognized for its core technology ‘DEEP OCR’ and has been selected for the 2022 KB Unicorn Club, jointly run by the Gyeonggi Creative Economy Innovation Center and KB Kookmin Bank, and is receiving support for a customized accelerating program.
