[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Naver Clova demonstrated its global AI technological competitiveness by presenting double-digit papers for the first time in Korea at the world’s top artificial intelligence (AI) conference, ‘CVPR 2022.’

On the 24th, Naver announced that it presented a total of 18 papers at CVPR, including 1 oral paper, 14 regular papers, and 3 workshop papers, marking the first time a domestic corporate research organization has published double-digit papers. Including achievements from Naver Labs Europe and Naver Webtoon, the total number of papers presented at CVPR reached 22.

CVPR, which began in 1983, is an academic conference jointly hosted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world’s largest technical professional organization, and the Computer Vision Foundation (CVF). It is recognized as a leading conference in the field of vision AI and one of the most influential conferences in computer engineering. This year, it was held both online and offline from the 19th to the 24th at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, USA.

At this CVPR, Naver presented numerous technologies that contribute not only to various foundational technologies of computer vision but also to the application of research outcomes in actual Naver services. A representative study proposed a learning technique that can solve problems arising when label information of data is incorrect in continual learning, which involves learning from continuously increasing data.

Three papers presenting research outcomes from the Seoul National University-Naver Large-scale AI Center were introduced at this conference. Last year, Naver established joint AI research centers with Seoul National University and KAIST and has been conducting close research in the large-scale AI field. It is also actively cooperating to nurture excellent AI talent through industry-academia linked internships and other programs.

Naver participated in this CVPR as a ‘Gold’ sponsor, opening a booth during the conference period and actively working to secure outstanding AI talent. Various organizations including Naver Clova, Naver Webtoon, Naver Labs, and Naver Labs Europe shared their current AI technology status and carried out activities to recruit capable AI professionals.

Ha Jung-woo, head of Naver Clova AI Lab, said, “Based on the technological capabilities secured through continuous investment in AI fundamental research, Naver will continue to provide innovative value to users.”
