Alibaba Cloud launched a major brand upgrade at Alibaba Cloud Assembly held yesterday morning. In addition to replacing the "cloud" word LOGO that has been in use for 6 years, the smart Ai robot that was born four months ago is also officially upgraded to ET.
New LOGOWhen explaining why the LOGO was replaced, Alibaba Cloud stated that there are two main reasons. The first is that with the rapid development of Alibaba Cloud, the “cloud†LOGO of the previous Chinese character style has not met the international development needs. On the other hand, since its establishment in 2009, Alibaba Cloud has been deeply aware that the essence of cloud is computation, and only cloud computing can reflect the value of big data. "Cloud" word LOGO has been unable to accurately express this concept. Therefore, this has a brand-new LOGO designed with inspiration from the code. The simple symbolic expression is more in line with the grand strategy of Aliyun's international development, and it also clearly shows the meaning of “calculationâ€.
Another important topic of the conference is the release of artificial intelligence robot ET.
Ali Small AiTo say ET, we have to mention its predecessor, Xiao Ai. As the first artificial intelligence robot of Alibaba Cloud, Xiao Ai debuted for the public for the first time. In April of this year, Hunan Satellite TV's "I am a singer" in the king's finals, Smart Ai accurately predicted the final song king. Lived, and thus heated discussion by the public. Since then, Xiao Ai has started to work as a customer service operator for Ant Financial Services, Hezhong Life Insurance, Alibaba Group, and Geely Automobile Group, which has greatly eased the situation where customer service relies heavily on manpower. In addition, Xiao Ai's shorthand syllabus is also very successful, with an accuracy rate of 96.2%. With this skill, it also defeated the Chinese short-sleeved Chinese runner-up.
In fact, Xiao Ai started preparations as early as 2012. The Alibaba Cloud team started with big data processing and stepped up to deeper applications such as deep learning, social network analysis and semantic sentiment analysis, and finally abstracted out a generic artificial intelligence entity. In order to predict “I am a singerâ€, Xiao Ai was “sea-filled†with millions of songs of various styles in advance. He also crazyly “learned†the theories and historical knowledge of music, passing many engineers, scientists and music professionals. The training and training will be able to successfully predict the winner of the song.
Upgraded ETThis time for the small version of the upgraded version of the ET, Ali cloud said its advantages are not only reflected in the chat with people to accompany, the more important thing is that they give ET awareness.
Aliyun believes that in the age of artificial intelligence, the amount of massive data is just a foundation. Mathematical analysis modeling behind data and deep learning of neural networks are the key points. It is through calculation that the data is related to each other. The data has a practical significance for humanity. Only by performing a comprehensive global analysis of global data can the true potential of artificial intelligence be realized.
For example, during the 11th year of last year, Ali and the Hangzhou Municipal Government piloted the use of intelligent traffic predictions. The accuracy is as high as 90%. This is behind the overall situation. The crossroads of the entire city of Hangzhou add up to tens of thousands, and each intersection can upload traffic data and congestion time data. This is the basis of big data. However, to make accurate predictions, it is necessary to carry out overall analysis. To integrate the congestion data at each intersection and to connect the links between roads, it is possible to have a clear understanding of the urban traffic in Hangzhou in a large environment, so as to accurately prediction.
In addition to the overall situation awareness, ET artificial intelligence has other highlights. For example, human voices can be imitated and sang, and ET imitates Ma Yun's voice at the conference. It can also analyze the content of videos and images, for example, to identify the rising sun and fallen leaves from a landscape shot. In addition, ET can also provide common artificial intelligence services such as face recognition, machine translation, text recognition, and general image analysis.
At the conference, Alibaba Cloud said that ET is still in the 1.0 stage, and it has initially had the ability to interact naturally with users and the simple decision-making power of certain industries. It will continue to iteratively update in the future. At the same time, all the core technologies that make up ET have been exported to Alibaba Cloud. All registered developers can build their own artificial intelligence based on these public API interfaces.
What people in the industry thinkFor ET's intelligent voice function, we specifically learned from Peng Junhui, the founder of Hearing Intelligent Answering Robot. Peng Junhui said that the main problem solved at present is the accurate semantic understanding of the robot. And compared with pure computer analysis based on machine learning theory, Hearing uses a combination of manual intervention and machine analysis, and he believes that this is more accurate than pure machine learning, and can more accurately understand the subtleties between semantics. difference.
As shown in the above figure, compared with Microsoft's Xiao Bing's machine learning processing method, it is clear that the method of manual intervention on the left side of the diagram is more suitable for natural conversations between humans. About Alibaba Cloud ET's implementation of intelligent voice response and its real-world results, Peng Junhui did not talk too much because he did not personally try it . However, judging from the overall level of intelligence, Peng Junhui is quite expecting ET who has joined machine learning. In his circle of friends, he commented that "it looks very powerful!"
Similar to the strategy of hearing, the Shanghe Network, which focuses on man-machine integration and translation, is not entirely dependent on artificial intelligence. We asked CTO Wei Yongpeng of Shangqi.com, and he also indicated that the combination of manual intervention and machine translation at this stage can achieve better results than relying solely on machine translation. Because human translation does not currently have the advantage of being able to replace with machine translation, different strategies are adopted in different stages of translation to combine the advantages of both to obtain accurate and fast translation results.
After entering the 21st century, the field of artificial intelligence has made rapid progress and progress in more than ten years, with research methods that have evolved from imitation of human rulemaking to mathematical research methods relying on big data and probability analysis. Intelligent voice, intelligent image processing, and industry forecasting, which were previously only available to humans, can now be implemented on computers and achieve better results.
However, it cannot be denied that there are limitations as well as progress. The current artificial intelligence is far from a perfect substitute for the existence of human beings. In all walks of life, it can only help us to work and live in a way that is high-level assistants. In the future, we look forward to greater breakthroughs in artificial intelligence.
