Russia is the leader in several branches of the artificial intelligence technology, the founder of the international software company ABBYY, David Yang, told Sputnik on Tuesday.
"Russia is leading in the fields of image processing and semantics," Yang said, adding that there are several companies in Russia working on image recognition, lexical and semantic analysis.
