34 SMILE Lab brain/bio-inspired AI SMILE lab’s ambitions know no bounds. It is also working on designing next-generation AI using neuroscience or biological principles, theories, and findings because it believes today’s AI is insufficient . “ This lineof research isexpandingour laband is very inspiring, ” Ruogu smiles. “ It may not be directly applicable to today’s healthcare yet because it includes mathematical theories like the Riemann equation, but if it develops well, it could have a huge impact on not only healthcare but on general computer vision and natural language processing! ” even other researchers’ efforts towards this, and the nation’s support. ” SMILE lab is growing fast. Currently, Ruogu has nine PhD students, five master’s students, and eight undergraduates. “ The unique characteristics of our group are that we’re not researchers who work only in one domain like biomedical engineering or computer science, but we work on the convergence of AI and healthcare , ” she points out. “ We have the domain knowledge from medicine, and with collaborators, we can design and apply advancements in today’s technology to make high-impact applications in healthcare. ”
