Google will open a research lab in Taiwan, local media reported yesterday, citing sources at the US-based company.
The newly appointed director of the centre, local academic Jian Li-feng, has expertise in natural language processing and Chinese language information retrieval, and was formerly a research adviser to Microsoft Asia, local media reports said.
Google sources did not say when the new centre would open, or provide details of staffing or funding.
While Taiwan itself is a relatively small market, with a population of only around 21 million, Google is currently engaged in a battle to break into the huge Chinese market.
