On December 29, at the 2021 Baidu AI Developer Conference, AI talent training topic. In a conversation with Wu Hua, chairman of Baidu's technical committee, Meyer Musk said that women should take on more roles in all areas of the world. In the field of science and technology, women should support AI talents half the sky.
One is an outstanding female scientist in the field of AI who won the National Science and Technology Progress Award. One is a well-known fashion icon who is still active on the international stage at the age of 73. Wu Hua and Meyer Musk are the shining representatives of "her" power in their respective fields.
At the forum, Meyer Musk shared little-known personal growth stories and children's education. A dietitian with a double master's degree, she landed on 4 billboards in New York's Times Square at the age of 69, with all three children excelling in their favorite fields. But behind this, she has experienced running for survival, and even applied for a doctorate when she was unjustly canceled. In Meyer's view, the most important thing in the education of children is the power of example. In response to the age anxiety problem prevalent in the tech Internet company population, Meyer Musk believes that working in the field of scientists, getting old is not a bad thing. Older means wiser and more knowledgeable. Her role model, Meyer's mom, who was still studying computer arts at 94, retired at 96.
In their dialogue, Meyer Musk and Wu Hua agreed that women should play a greater role in the field of artificial intelligence. Meyer believes that "artificial intelligence will make people's lives easier, but more women involved in it can ensure that artificial intelligence is developing in a good direction." Wu Hua also said: "Women account for 42% of Baidu employees. Women can be more confident in AI and beyond. ”
At the forum, Yao Zhenxu, former national table tennis team leader, and Wu Fei, deputy director of the Department of Physical Education and Research of Peking University, shared the research project of artificial intelligence table tennis action recognition cooperated with Baidu Feipao.
Wu Fei said that in the past table tennis training, the data statistics were completed by hand, due to the fast speed of table tennis, strong concealment, and a large number of rounds, manual recording was extremely energy-consuming. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, she and Yao Zhenxu came up with the idea of using artificial intelligence for table tennis big data processing, intelligent analysis, and auxiliary decision-making.
According to Wu Fei, the system uses Baidu Feipao's open-source end-to-end suite PaddleVideo to train the motion recognition model. At present, the system can already identify whether there are 8 major types of actions such as serve, pull, and swing short. Among them, the accuracy rate of the start and end rounds has reached more than 97%, and the action recognition has reached more than 80%.
Cultivating AI talents is a matter that requires long-term investment. At the forum, Baidu CTO Wang Haifeng shared a set of Baidu's figures on the cultivation of AI talents: more than 3,000 AI professional teachers from more than 700 colleges and universities, benefiting from the deep learning training held by Baidu; more than 200 colleges and universities jointly opened artificial intelligence courses with Baidu; nearly 100 teachers received support from Baidu Songguo Research Fund to carry out academic research in the field of AI; students from more than 400 colleges and universities have developed nearly 10,000 creative projects based on Baidu AI, involving finance, medical treatment, agriculture, urban management, Transportation and other fields; more than 300,000 students participate in various technical competitions such as the Baidu Star Programming Competition held by Baidu.
Wang Haifeng, CTO of Baidu, said: "The higher the popularity of AI in society, the greater the responsibility of Baidu as a leading enterprise in the field of AI. We hope that Baidu AI will help everyone grow into excellent talents and achieve achievements in our intelligent era. ”
