Microsoft Korea had a conference on Apr. 6 for the official announcement of POSTECH Prof. Hwang’s research case on Big Data. Prof. Hwang (CSE) had been carrying out her research with assistance from the human resource development platform of Microsoft.
Big Data is a highly intelligent software that can be used to automatically extract information relevant to human intelligence from continuously growing websites. Using Big Data, the Internet search engines acquire artificial intelligence, so that the Internet users can more easily find what they want through research engines. Such techniques are specifically called “Bootstrap”, and, in fact, they are already in use and have generated a 50% increase in the research performance of Microsoft’s Bing.
Prof. Hwang is planning to apply this technique to every software program. Prof. Hwang believes that by crafting time and space dimensions into research engines, it would be possible to increase the intelligence level of research engines to an even higher level, enabling them to function as “artificial personal assistants”.
