New Laboratory of Pattern Recognition (NLPR), is an independent research department of the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It originated from the team of Tieniu Tan in the National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition, and its predecessor was the Center for Research on Intelligent Perception and Computing. The laboratory focuses on the core content of artificial intelligence—pattern recognition—as its main research areas.
Adhering to the strategic direction of the Four Facings and the development goal of being world-class, it is striving to build a nationally strategic scientific and technological force with global influence in the fields of pattern recognition and artificial intelligence.
Over nearly 30 years of development, the laboratory has formed a research team including academician, national leading talents, NSFC Distinguished Young Scholars, Changjiang Scholars, NSFC Excellent Young Scientists, covering scientific researchers of all ages and different academic development stages.
The laboratory focuses on fundamental theoretical innovations, technological breakthroughs, and the development of application systems.
It has achieved significant results in areas such as the fundamental theories in pattern recognition and artificial intelligence, robust pattern representation learning, biologically inspired intelligent computing, biometric recognition and network content security, understanding visual big data analytics, collaborative sensing in binary space, and multimodal cross-space embodied intelligence. The lab continues to lead the innovation and development of the pattern recognition discipline.
