[Cmi-board] Fwd: [LG M & PRI] Request for AI network in University of Southampton

[Sarvapali Ramchurn]

See below. Would be good to discuss this when we meet.

Are we meeting today? I don’t have anything in my diary for today but due to CDT write-up it may be worth pushing the meeting to Monday or Tuesday next week.

Regards,

Gopal

> Dear Dr Sarvapali Ramchurn
> 
> I'm Minki graduated from ISVR last year and now working at LG Electronics as the acoustical engineer.
> 
> Nowadays, many global manufacturers are applying AI Tech. in manufacturing sites to keep up with era of Industry 4.0.
> However, there are technical limitations to overcome and to generate new ideas using AI technology. 
> LG M&PRI wants to extend R&D network and overcome domestic human resources. 
> Our idea is to establish AI laboratory in advanced academic site, such as University of Southampton with many AI researchers.
>  
> We are considering two possible collaboration options with UoS.
> Keeping in mind, it is just an initial concept stage and our Open Innovation team will further develop the concept.
> 
> Option 1) Establish AI research pool inside Campus
>  - LG : Provide research funding 
>  - UoS : Provide potential researchers for LG-side topics only
>  
> Option 2) Establish laboratory (including physical space)
>   - LG : Provide research funding & dispatch one or two LG employees with manufacturing-side domain knowledge 
>   - UoS : Establish laboratory including 4-5 research members and research director whom UoS professor recommends 
>  
> It would be great to hear any feedback about our plan.
> Thank you for your time.
> 
> Kind regards,
