"Big Data + Artificial intelligence" will become the future core competitiveness

After missing the forward-looking judgment of the mobile Internet, Baidu focused on cutting-edge technology in the next 10 years. Reporter yesterday from Baidu insiders confirmed that in today's 201,400-degree World Congress, Baidu Intelligent Wearable equipment Baidueye will debut.

It is gratifying that this product no longer follow Google's path, whether it is the appearance of design, patented technology, or in the application of the scene, Baidueye are starting their own scientific and technological innovation road.

Independent research and development of "separation of objects"

In Friday, Robin Li, founder and chief executive of Baidu, told a story at the "Wanda Electric Dealer" Conference: When a person wandering in Wanda Square, suddenly found that a girl wearing a very beautiful skirt, you just take a picture, you can know Wanda which shop, which counters are selling this skirt.

It's only half the story, and the other half is about what it takes to carry this O2O scene. The answer is not the smartphone, but the wearable device Baidueye Baidu released today. Reporter learned that, as early as a year ago, the industry has rumors that Baidu began to beta Baidueye, but from yesterday's exposure to the product map and technical details, today will be released Baidueye and last year's beta "".

"Whether it's a design, a patented technology, or an application scenario, Baidueye and Google glasses are completely different," he said. Google Glasses emphasize the concept of glasses, and baidueye emphasis is the eye, is the naked eye to see things. "Baidu is responsible for wearable equipment," the insiders stressed. The above insiders revealed that "separation of objects" and "voice control" is the two major features of Baidueye. Baidueye is not equipped with a screen, the wearer only needs to point to the object in sight to draw a circle, or to pick up the object, or through voice control, Baidueye can be identified by gesture to obtain instructions, and target objects for data processing and analysis, "the whole product development, including natural language processing, Machine Vision Technology is Baidu independent research and Development technology, baidueye from ' eyes ' see to recognition speed extremely fast, accuracy rate has reached more than 70%.

According to the disclosure, Baidueye will be widely used in education, electricity, transportation, public service and other fields, for people with visual impairment, the elderly and children and other groups are also more applicable.

Core competence in "second brain"

"What you see is what you know"-the technology that Baidu wants to express in this smart wearable device. Shanghai, an intelligent interactive field of developers told reporters that any wearable equipment is just a carrier, baidueye behind the core has two points: one is large data, the second is the human-computer interaction technology. No technology company has ever had a landmark leap in the combination of the two. This is the world's leading technology companies, including Apple and Google, the ambitions and research direction.

At this starting line, Chinese technology companies do not seem to lag too much behind. Reporter learned that baidueye by Baidu Research Institute deputy Dean Yukei led the Baidu in-depth study research Laboratory (IDL)-led research and development. In the lab, which was set up early last year, it included "the father of Google's Brain" Wunda, senior Facebook scientist Xu, and a group of world-class scientists.

Earlier, Robin Li, referring to the institute's first research direction, described the "Baidu Brain" program, saying that by using technology to simulate brain thinking, the brain is equivalent to the intelligence level of a 2-3-year-old child.

Now it seems that Baidueye is carrying the "second brain" trial experience, trying to combine Baidu's large data analysis capabilities and human-computer interaction technology to help users understand the world and connect services.

Analysts said Baidueye's release heralded the advent of the "big Data + Artificial intelligence" era. Yukei that "deep learning makes the intelligent recognition and understanding of speech images make amazing progress, thus promoting artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction to stride forward." ”
