中国人工智能诞生地
1956年夏，以麦卡锡、明斯基、罗切斯特和香农等为首的一批有着远见卓识的年轻科学家，聚在美国达特茅斯学院，首次提出了“人工智能”这一术语。同年，在钱学森先生的倡议下，中国科学院自动化研究所成立，点燃了中国人工智能发展的星星之火。六十多年来，一批批海内外优秀学者汇聚自动化研究所，先后开辟了控制工程、模式识别、复杂系统科学、集成电路分析与设计等研究方向，在视觉计算、语音识别、大数据情报分析整理、智能机器人、高性能数字信号处理器、脑网络组学、分子影像学等方向，形成了鲜明的学科优势和技术特色。
In the summer of 1956, a group of young visionary scientists headed by McCarthy, Minsky, Rochester and Shannon, gathered in the Dartmouth College in the United States, and proposed the term “Artificial Intelligence” for the first time. In the same year at Mr. Qian Xuesen’s initiative, Institue of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA) was founded, which ignited the development of China’s Artificial Intelligence. For more than six decades, a group of outstanding scholars at home and abroad gathered at CASIA, and have set up research directions in Control Engineering, Pattern Recognition, Complex System Science, Integrated Circuit Analysis and Design, etc., and have formed a distinct academic advantages and technical characteristics in Visual Computing, Speech Recognition, Big Data Intelligence Analysis and Processing, Intelligence Robots, High Performance Digital Processor, Brainnetome, Molecular Imaging, etc.
据爱思唯尔SCOPUS数据显示，近五年来，自动化研究所是中国内地唯一一个在人工智能领域发表论文数量超过500篇的独立机构，引文影响力全球排名第七位。目前，自动化研究所已建立包括2个国家重点实验室，1个国家级工程技术中心在内的12个科研开发部门。围绕人工智能的产业应用，与地方共建12个院地协同创新研究院。同时，在类脑智能等前瞻领域，与海外共建中欧联合实验室等6个国际合作创新机构，拥有规模超过10亿元的两支产业基金，形成了应用基础研究、战略高技术研发以及产业化“三位一体”的良好格局。
According to the data released by Elsevier SCOPUS, CASIA is the only one independent institute among all the others in China that has published more than 500 papers from 2011 to 2015 in the field of AI, obtaining a rather high citation score which ranks the seventh in the world. Up till now, CASIA has established 12 research departments, including 2 National Laboratories, and 1 National Engineering & Technology Research Center. Focusing on the artificial intelligence industry applications, CASIA has built 12 jointly established research centers in cooperation with local governments. Meanwhile in frontier areas such as Brain-inspired Intelligence,CASIA also has involved in 6 jointly established laboratories in cooperation with international research institutions such as the Sino-European Laboratory of Informatics Automation, and Applied Mathematics (LIAMA). Furthermore, CASIA owns 2 industrial funds sum of more than 1 billion Yuan, thus CASIA has conducted applied basic research, high technology research, development and transfer.

心之所向，身之所往
我是1985年就到英国留学，在英国前后学习工作将近13年，当然了，回国工作也是我多年的愿望，特别是中科院“百人计划”这个人才计划，实际上给了我一个非常好的机会。
I went to study in England in 1985, and stayed there for nearly 13 years. Of course it’s my years of desire to work in my own country, especially when the Hundred Talents Plan of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), actually provided me an extremely good chance.
很多事情在我们国内很容易开展起来，在那边就是非常缓慢，而且各种各样的限制条件。相对于效率这方面来说，我觉得比国外推进起来要容易得多，特别是跟这个疾病研究本身相关的，因为国内有很充分的资源。
A lot of things are easy to carry out in our country, but are rather hard to get progress abroad because of various limitations. In terms of efficiency, it’s much easier to move forward in China than in abroad, especially researches relating to disease, because we have abundant domestic resources.
当时从“百人计划”回国，从一个学生两个学生开始，到现在慢慢成为一个大概有几十个人的学生和老师的团队。
I came back home under the Hundred Talents Plan, and started with one to two students, now it has gradually became a team with dozens of students and scholars.
在自动化所总结下来就做了三件事：社会计算、平行智能、知识自动化。那非常巧合的是，没想到这正好是今天这个时代最热的技术，所以我觉得自动化所在这个领域里面，有太多的施展空间。
I mainly did three things in the Institute of Automation: Social Computing, Parallel Intelligence, and the Knowledge Automation. Very coincidentally, they are the techniques of greatest demand today, so i believe there’s much space in this area for the Institute of Automation.

念念不忘，必有回响
中国科学院自动化研究所有几个好处：一个它地处北京，是一个文化和政治学术的中心；第二个我觉得自动化研究所包括中科院主要还是给大家一个相对宽松的平台，使得大家能够做自己想做的事，机器人与神经科学的交叉，我就是突发奇想，看了文章之后就觉得有意思，我就想开始做了；可能还有一点，就是自动化所人才济济，所以使得你经常可以碰到非常聪明的人在一起进行相互的交流。
CASIA has several advantages: first of all it is located in Beijing, which is a cultural political and academic center; secondly CASIA and CAS provide a relatively independent research platform so we can do what we want to do, for example the idea of researching on the interdiscipline of robots and neuroscience was made on a whim after i read an article. I found it interesting and decided to set about doing it. Probably there’s a third advantage that CASIA is a galaxy of talents where you can meet and communicate with very intelligent people.
03年之后，我们实验室就纳入国家重点实验室的管理系列。再经过了九年的时间，到2013年就正式变成了国家重点实验室，所以实验室发展到今天，我觉得是自己也是全体科研人员的心血的结果，一辈子做成这么一件事我也蛮开心。
After the year of 2003, our laboratory was brought into the national key laboratory management system. After another 9 years, in 2013 it officially became a national key laboratory, so what we have achieved today, in my opinion, is the fruit of my persistence and all the researchers’ efforts. I am quite satisfied to have such an achievement in a lifetime.
当时的选择现在来看应该是非常正确，（当时）我毫不犹豫地申请中科院的“百人计划”。现在中国启动了这个“脑计划”，其实就是（我）原来选择做的方向。去年发布了人类第一个全新的脑网络组图谱。这个可以说是整个脑图谱一百多年以来，第一次中国人在这个历史里面，中国人做出了这样一个贡献，去年也被评为“十大科技进展”，包括“十大医学进展”。我认为这个实际上是我这个回国以后其中一个最主要的成果。
Seeing from now the choice i made was correct, i applied for the Hundred Talents Plan of CAS without hesitation at that time. Nowadays, China has launches China Brain Project, which is the research direction i’ve been dedicated to for all these years. Last year, we published the first brand new human Brainnetome Atlas. In the Brain Atlas research history of more than 100 years, it’s the first time that we Chinese made such a contribution. Last year, this progress was rated one of the “Ten Major Scientific and Technological Progress of China, 2016”, as well as one of the “Top Ten Medical Progress of China, 2016”. Actually i regard it as my research achievement of greatest importance since i came back in China.
现在大家都很关心关注，特别对我们这个人口众多的国家，非常重要的一个学术方向，叫生物特征识别。这个方向自动化所应该说是，客观地讲，享有国际声誉。那么在这个过程中，我也很高兴自己做出一番贡献，特别是在这个方向一个重要的分支，就是虹膜识别。将近20年过去了，现在回过头来看，我们现在无论是从这个领域基础研究、关键技术的突破，还是从实际应用到产业化的发展，我们全链条整个虹膜识别创新链条，我们都可以说，做出了令我们感到自豪的工作。
Nowadays, people pay a lot of attention to Biometric Feature Recognition, which is a very important research field, especially for a populous country like China. Objectively speaking, CASIA possesses international fame in this area. I was also glad to make my own contribution in this process, especially one of the important branches that is called Iris Recognition. Looking back on the process of almost 20 years, we could declare that we have made distinct progress we are proud of in the development of a full innovation chain, including Iris Recognition basic research, high technology research, development and transfer.
