Machine Learning-Artificial Intelligence

You must have heard of "Microsoft small Ice"-is that tea sister Zetian as assistant product manager for the service platform. After adding the robot micro-trust account as a friend, you can talk to this account. However, on children's Day, Tencent has "violated and affected the user experience as the basis" to all the small ice account offline. Microsoft is currently developing an upgraded version of ice.

From May 29 onwards, she suddenly fell in countless micro-letters, you can be like Siri to flirt with her, but also to achieve intelligent search, ask the basic necessities, there are very clear feedback. She became a user-friendly interface for Microsoft's own services, such as Microsoft Search, Bing translations and dictionaries. She also has the intimate function of a smart assistant, such as you let the ice create a reminder, she will be in the set time to send messages in the group to remind everyone.

Small ice is hard not to recall Google's Google Now, Apple's Siri and IBM's Watson. They are able to interact with people, have a certain "smart", complete part of the human instructions. They are the industry vane companies to the field of artificial intelligence tentacles, showing the machine intelligence how to understand people, the potential for continuous learning. In the future, we use the Internet entrance, it is possible to control by artificial intelligence.

Behind the Little ice is Microsoft's Smart Search

According to Microsoft's official introduction, "Microsoft Ice" uses Microsoft's large data analysis, natural semantic analysis, machine learning and deep neural network technology, through understanding the context and semantics of dialogue, to achieve beyond the general human computer question and answer the natural interaction, especially in the group chat, than the general intelligent voice Assistant is more interesting, At present, Microsoft's small ice has assembled nearly 700 million internet users in China for many years to accumulate all the public chat record 15 million corpus.

Microsoft recently launched an intelligent voice system Cortana based on the Windows Phone system. Cortana is a 26th century artificial intelligence role based on the Halo game series. She is always on standby for master figuratively in the Halo game, and Microsoft expects it to be on your phone anytime.

Behind the Cortana, robot learning and data mining algorithms, natural language processing, semantic analysis, voice technology, Bing Satori Knowledge Base and self-learning system are the core technologies. These are the accumulation of Microsoft's decades-old research.

For example, as early as 1998, Microsoft set up Zigan, research input method, question and answer, social text mining, search engine, interpretation and sign language translation. Through the semantic analysis technology, the system will analyze and understand the natural language word processing to the computer processing signal to understand what you want to do.

Also, in Cortana, there is a dialogue management understanding technology and user-related information technology, which allows her to try to understand the context dialog, continuously enhance the understanding of the user, improve the relevance of data mining.

According to Microsoft's official introduction, small ice and Cortana are homologous products, but in the micro-letter platform Cortana Another form of expression, can only be used in the micro-letter group.

The famous chat robots

Back in 1950, computer scientists Alan. Turing presented the famous "Turing test": that if a machine could talk to humans (by telex) without being identified, the machine would be intelligent.

In the history of artificial intelligence development, there have been many famous chat robots. 1966, computer scientist Joseph. Wiesen class (Jeseph Weizenbaum) wrote the earliest and most famous chat robot program "Eliza", and she was set up as a psychiatrist who would simulate a real physician asking questions: "How do you feel about that?" "What do you think that means?" "She will keep repeating these open and vague questions.

It was soon discovered that she did not really understand the language, but used the skills of language transformation to constantly say Chice.

Alice (Alice) was born in November 1995. She's an AI scientist, Richard. Wallace's work. Wallace will install the chat program to the Web server, through chatting with netizens she can continue to learn, more and more powerful, once was considered the smartest chat robot.

Alice uses a language called Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML) to organize her corpus data. Through a large number of prefabricated templates, to achieve the answer to the user question. But Alice is still completely based on pattern matching techniques, without any intellectual and logical reasoning ability, and the 1966 Eliza No fundamental difference.

There are a lot of chat robots in Chinese. Remember in the MSN age, can use Chinese and you dialogue small I? It's still here today.

It supports almost all human-computer interaction channels including IM, WEB, microblogging, micro-mail, SMS, phone, smartphone, and smart TV. This also means that it is not running to chat but service. Micro-letter on the bank credit card automatic response, Jiangsu Mobile Intelligent Customer service system, Lenovo TV intelligent voice interaction, have used its technology.

In the voice assistant aspect, the HKUST launches the message to fly the language point, may use the voice control to call, sends the text message, the search map, the check timetable, the check flight and so on. Baidu Voice assistant also support voice commands, voice search, voice dialogue, but also to tell you jokes, read poetry, chat ridicule and so on. After using the depth neural network technology, the speech relative recognition error rate has been reduced by 25% and more accurate.

Vosembi chat robot more advanced. It is a very powerful computer, a computing system that can match the human ability to answer questions. It is based on IBM's "depth quiz" technology, using hundreds of algorithms in 3 seconds to find the answer.

IBM, however, hopes to make Watson a development platform for enterprises, start-ups and universities to improve the quality of human-computer interaction. This month they bought an artificial intelligence start-up company, Cognea. The latter developed an artificial intelligence platform based on cognitive computing and dialogue, which can provide virtual assistants of personalized dialogues to enterprise clients such as bank call centers. If Watson's wisdom is injected, it will become more intelligent.

Apple's Siri has been widely known. Apple believes its own Siri is a smart personal assistant that can help users do all sorts of things they want to do. But behind Siri is the smart search engine Wolfram Alpha. Its founder, Stephen Wolfram, defines it as a "professional knowledge search engine". It gives answers directly to questions, rather than providing a list of related pages like other search engines. Microsoft's Bing search engine also uses Wolfram Alpha in some ways.

Google Now is the smart Personal assistant service that Google has launched, and it is strictly speaking to people. It integrates Google's search services, communicates with users using the Natural language user interface, and predicts the information you might need based on your past search habits.

Google believes that Google now represents the future of search, behind the human-computer interaction is speech recognition, language model, knowledge map, in-depth learning and other technologies, Google is building a neural network, so that the machine to perceive and understand the world.

As you can see, chat bots are becoming an entry point for mobile search and service as a way to interact with people and machines. The perfect search for the future is to accurately understand what you mean and give exactly the answers you want. The ultimate evolution of search engines is artificial intelligence, and those who are eager to be in the field of artificial intelligence will not let go of this important entrance.
