At the ongoing 2019 China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) Annual Conference in Harbin, it was learned that the Information Technology Forum of the annual conference has released the top ten frontier hot issues in the field of information technology, including autonomous driving and artificial bio-intelligence.
Tan Jiubin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at Harbin Institute of Technology, presided over the forum and announced the top ten frontier hot issues.
At the annual conference, the CAST Information Technology Society, as a high-end think tank in the field of information technology, undertook the information technology forum themed "Artificial Intelligence" and released the top ten frontier hot issues in the field of information technology, which are as follows:
Natural Language Understanding
Natural language understanding is an essential path for computers to enter intelligence. As a key common technology of the new generation of artificial intelligence, research on natural language understanding is of great significance for promoting the development of the intelligent information industry and ensuring the security of national information content.

Basic Research on Software for Large-Scale Quantum Computers
Currently, factors such as insufficient hardware foundation and difficulties in verifying the calculation process have led to fragmented and unsystematic research on quantum software. The field of information technology is eagerly looking forward to strengthening the basic research on software for large-scale quantum computers, focusing on breakthroughs in a series of bottleneck issues such as quantum programming languages and their development platforms, and quantum system simulation and verification.
Research on Key Technologies and Market Application of Autonomous Driving Vehicle Control Operating Systems
As a basic platform connecting hardware chips and software applications, the autonomous driving vehicle control operating system is also a fusion platform for a large amount of operating data. It is a major strategic demand for the country and the automotive industry, as well as the core key to solving the country's "bottleneck" major strategic issues.
Non-orthogonal Axis System 3D Laser Measurement InstrumentsThe non-orthogonal axis system three-dimensional laser measuring instrument has subverted the orthogonality structure requirements of commonly used three-dimensional coordinate measuring instruments such as coordinate measuring machines, theodolites, total stations, and laser trackers, opening up a new structure model for precision coordinate measuring instruments. It has significant scientific research and application value for the development of high-end three-dimensional coordinate measuring instruments in China.
Application Technology of Head-Mounted Augmented Reality Systems
To become an indispensable mobile device in the future, the key issue facing head-mounted augmented reality (AR) systems is how to enhance the immersion, portability, and interactivity of head-mounted hardware devices, as well as to break through complex environment perception, real-time tracking and positioning, correct virtual and real occlusion, and collaborative interaction capabilities.
Generation of Perfect Cryptographic Random Numbers
Random numbers have a wide range of applications and significant importance in cryptography. Generating perfect random numbers has always been a goal pursued by scholars worldwide. Accelerating theoretical and technical breakthroughs in the generation of perfect cryptographic random numbers is crucial for ensuring the security of cryptographic applications in China.
New Technology for Satellite Anti-Interference in Complex Electromagnetic Environments
With the rapid development of satellite services and radio communication technology, satellite systems are facing increasingly complex electromagnetic environments. Adopting a new method and means of full-space, multi-dimensional, time, and frequency coordinated anti-interference can enhance the high reliability and security of signal transmission in modern satellite systems under complex electromagnetic environments.
All-Weather Real-Time High-Resolution Imaging and Recognition
For outdoor equipment, the ability to obtain environmental information in real-time and high resolution under various weather conditions without interference is a prerequisite for its intelligent work. However, there are currently no effective means to achieve all-weather real-time high-resolution imaging and recognition. Potential solutions include microwave photon radar imaging, distributed synthetic aperture radar imaging, and terahertz radar imaging.
Integration Issues of Artificial Intelligence and Biological IntelligenceThe research and application of artificial biological intelligence. The human brain is undoubtedly the most intelligent physical system on Earth, and modern technology has endowed scientists with the ability to perfectly implement some of the primary functions of the human brain. However, the journey of exploring the brain is endless, and humanity is tirelessly striving towards the ultimate goal of achieving all the functions of the human brain through engineering technology methods.
Interferometric Optical Imaging Technology
The development of interferometric optical imaging technology will bring about a brand new transformation of optical telescopes in the past 400 years, and is expected to subvert the traditional large-aperture optical imaging system technology industry. This technology uses spatial frequency domain imaging and then reconstructs the spatial image, which can change the design of optical telescopes from stacking optical lenses to arranging microlens arrays. At present, interferometric optical imaging technology is in the early stage of research and development, and its most core technical challenge is the preparation of photon integrated circuits.
Before and after the release of the top ten frontier hot issues, the information technology forum also held academic reports and summit dialogues. Many experts and scholars from China and abroad carried out academic discussions and dialogues around the theme of "artificial intelligence" and the role of information technology in promoting the revitalization of the Northeast economy.
