2019.12.16 未來運算研討會(WFC) at NCKU

Theme

The advances in computing is reshaping the campuses in the entire education system, and eventually all disciplines and industries worldwide, under the rapid development in machine learning algorithms, AI and neuromorphic computing, quantum computing, etc. Incidentally, NCKU is set to establish the first School of Computing in the country, which will likely be one of the first few such schools in the region.

This workshop will invite experts and leaders from academia, industry, and the public sector to share, elaborate, and discuss critical issues, developments, breakthroughs and new perspectives in future computing, including theories, methodologies, architectures, systems, applications, social implications, etc. The workshop will be highly interactive; thus, we hope to serve as a catalyst for increased collaboration and discourse among participants.

Topics of the workshop include, e.g., computing frontiers, amazing AI applications, AI trends, high-performance & memory-centric computing, computational vision and linguistics, and visions on future computing.
