The black technology that pulls the full is definitely a highlight of this Beijing Winter Olympics.

Whether it is the stunning opening ceremony, or the construction inside and outside the venue, it is because of science and technology that has aroused the amazement of public opinion again and again.

But what I never expected was that even the real-time broadcast of weather to the players and the audience actually played a new height:

Maybe you will wonder, isn't this the host of China's weather, Feng Shu?

But the truth is not.

In the picture, he is actually not a person, but a very pure AI virtual person - Feng Xiaoshu.

It is understood that Feng Xiaoshu is jointly created by the China Meteorological Administration Huafeng Meteorological Media Group and the Xiaoice Company.

And as early as 10 days before the opening of the Winter Olympics, he has already "licensed" on major platforms.

Even the Buddha-figures came forward to introduce his little AI brother:

Feng Xiaoshu, how was it refined?

From the effect, it is obvious that the human host Feng Shu is his training target.

The "killer weapon" behind the construction of Feng Xiaoshu is the digital twin virtual human technology Xiaoice framework.

The reason why he can distinguish between the overall naturalness of his face, expressions, and body movements and the authenticity of The Buddha-figures is mainly because he combines the Xiaoice deep neural network rendering technology (XNR) and small sample learning technology.

And it's the kind with a training cycle of only one week.

It is worth mentioning that under the training of the speech expert model, the mouth expert model and the face rendering expert model, "Feng Xiaoshu" accurately learned the synergistic relationship between Feng Shu's own mouth movements, eyes and facial muscles.

During the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, Feng Xiaoshu will continue to broadcast the "Winter Olympics Public Meteorological Index", which involves the human body feelings and health tips for outdoor spectators, including meteorological indicators such as the body feeling cold index, dressing index, cold index, frostbite index, sunscreen index, goggle index, etc., to timely transmit the refined meteorological index service information of outdoor venues for the spectators, and provide a reference basis for meteorological conditions for public health and safety viewing.

About Xiaoice and AI beings

At present, the Xiaoice framework has incubated tens of millions of AI beings.

Xia Yubing, a painter who graduated from CAAM, sang and whispered in the CCTV "Dialogue" column, which caused heated discussion among the media and netizens, and was rated as a "virtual human ceiling", and was also quipped that "AI that does not laugh is not a good AI":

Singer Chen Shuiruo, who is good at national singing, and Li Yugang, a dream-like coupled, jointly performed the national style giant "Huaxia":

She also joined Xiaoice framework singers He Chang and Chen Ziyu were invited to join the world's first AI music creation platform "NetEase Tianyin", which integrates songwriting and singing, leading the new wave of black technology.

In the field of finance and economics, the virtual anchors "N Xiao Black" and "N Xiao Bai", jointly created by the Xiaoice Framework and the Daily Economic News, are broadcasting live 24 hours a day, × July:

In the real estate industry, "Cui Xiaopan", a virtual employee of Vanke Finance Department, won the "Outstanding Newcomer of the Year Award" awarded by Yu Liang, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vanke Group, with a prepaid receivable/overdue document write-off rate of 91.44%:

At the same time, tens of millions of virtual boyfriends and virtual girlfriends are silently accompanying ordinary users.

There are also many AI beings who are quietly working in vertical scenes, such as financial summary writer Wan Xiaoice, smart cockpit companion HiPhiGo, fashion designer Westlake One, etc.

In the future, "China Weather" and Xiaoice companies will continue to cooperate, each giving full play to the advantages of the full ecosystem of meteorological services and the complete framework of artificial intelligence, jointly exploring the application and practice of cutting-edge AI technologies in the field of meteorology, and bringing more efficient and accurate meteorological services to hundreds of millions of users.
