Without sophisticated and flexible perceptual capabilities, it is impossible to create advanced artificial intelligence （AI） systems. For the next-generation AI, called ＇AI 2.0＇, one of the most significant features will be that AI is empowered with intelligent perceptual capabilities, which can simulate human brain＇s mechanisms and are likely to surpass human brain in terms of performance. In this paper, we briefly review the state-of-the-art advances across different areas of perception, including visual perception, auditory perception, speech perception, and perceptual information processing and learning engines. On this basis, we envision several R＆D trends in intelligent perception for the forthcoming era of AI 2.0, including： （1） human-like and transhuman active vision; （2） auditory perception and computation in an actual auditory setting; （3） speech perception and computation in a natural interaction setting; （4） autonomous learning of perceptual information; （5） large-scale perceptual information processing and learning platforms; and （6） urban omnidirectional intelligent perception and reasoning engines. We believe these research directions should be highlighted in the future plans for AI 2.0.展开更多

Since the Motor Theory was proposed, it has received remarkable attention in the field. However, each of the three hypotheses of the theory still needs further verification. In this review, we focus on how the auditory-motor anatomical and functional associations play a role in speech perception and discuss why previous studies could not reach an agreement and particularly whether the motor system involvement in speech perception is task-load dependent. Finally, we suggest that the function of the auditory-motor link is particularly useful for speech perception under adverse listening conditions and the further revised Motor Theory is a potential solution to the ＂cocktail-party＂ problem.展开更多
