Fundamental & Applied Research
At Facebook AI, we conduct both fundamental and applied research to advance our understanding and impact product experiences. We publish our discoveries in peer reviewed academic journals and conferences, and build AI technologies used by billions of people around the world.
Fundamental Research
FAIR seeks to further our fundamental understanding in both new and existing domains, covering the full spectrum of topics related to AI, with the mission of advancing the state-of-the-art of AI through open research for the benefit of all.
Along with the key principles of Facebook AI - openness, collaboration, excellence, and scale - we believe FAIR researchers also need to have the freedom and autonomy to design and follow their own research agendas so they can take on the most impactful work and develop the most disruptive projects, all while sharing their results with the community.
Applied Research
Facebook AI Applied Research engages in cutting-edge research that can improve and power new product experiences at huge scale for our community. Building on Facebook AI's key principles of openness, collaboration, excellence, and scale, we make big, bold research investments focused on building social value and bringing the world closer together.
Our Values
We align our fundamental and applied research efforts and applications around a few key principles:
Openness
We believe the latest advancements in AI should be published and open-sourced for the community to learn about and build upon.
Collaboration
We collaborate openly with both internal and external partners to share knowledge and cultivate diverse perspectives and needs.
Excellence
There is no shortage of new areas to explore in AI - our researchers focus on the projects that we believe will have the most positive impact on people and society.
Scale
To bring the benefits of AI to more people and improve accessibility, our research must account for both large scale data and computation needs.
