On November 18, Liu Qingfeng, Chairman of iFLYTEK, said in his speech at the opening ceremony of the 2022 iFLYTEK Global 1024 Developer Festival that the best way to gain insight into the future is to create the future, and iFLYTEK will participate in this tide together with developers and partners of Generation Z, and define the future through source technological innovation, systematic innovation and ecological construction. With everyone's efforts, artificial intelligence will definitely be more deeply recorded in history to solve human needs.
Liu Qingfeng said that through a series of online and offline activities of the Developer Day, we have seen the exciting core technology progress and application of artificial intelligence, not only in the people's livelihood through education, medical care, pension to help and warm every family, but also through the industrial Internet, virtual economy, meta-universe deep empowerment of mainland industrial development, in the present and future, artificial intelligence will profoundly change the world's production and lifestyle. Happy China and industrial power are closely related to today's artificial intelligence progress and are inseparable.
But he also pointed out that to achieve the two goals of a happy China and an industrial power, core technology alone cannot be achieved, but it must be accomplished through the common growth and prosperity of ecological partners.
In order to achieve ecological prosperity and industrial development, the core is not the concept, not pure technological innovation, but the real insight into the rigid needs of future social development. Through rigid demand and fundamental value creation, the road can be wider and wider, and finally form a group advantage of the Chinese intelligent industry in the world with "rigid demand + generation difference".
Embracing the future requires technical preparation in advance.
At the beginning of this year, iFLYTEK released the "iFLYTEK Super Brain 2030 Plan". It aims to allow robots that "understand knowledge, learn well, and can evolve" to enter every home and enterprise.
There are both virtual humans and physical robots (from robotic dogs to humanoid robots). To this end, iFLYTEK has set the development process and achievement planning of digital virtual humans and software and hardware integrated robots, and has made continuous breakthroughs in the four core technologies of multi-mode perception, deep understanding, multi-dimensional expression, and motion intelligence.
Multi-mode perception, the biggest difficulty before was complex formula recognition, because artificial intelligence lacked sufficient complex formula learning data. This year, iFLYTEK has built on last year's breakthrough and achieved industry-leading results, and can recognize mathematical formulas, chemical formulas, including complex formulas such as organic chemistry. Graphic recognition technology won first place in global competitions for three consecutive years, and it has been used in examinations.
This year, iFLYTEK has reached a new height in machine reading comprehension, and in the knowledge reasoning of OpenBook QA organized by Allen Research Institute, the machine once again won the competition, marking a major breakthrough in iFLYTEK's artificial intelligence cognitive technology.
Multi-dimensional expression, at present, iFLYTEK's speech synthesis has achieved personalization from exceeding the pronunciation level of ordinary people to high expression. Virtual anchors have been widely used in media communication, and virtual anchors are widely used in mainstream media and various scenarios.
iFLYTEK can quickly realize virtual human production through a personalized real person face pinching system. Virtual customer service, virtual doctors, virtual teachers, virtual employees, as well as virtual volunteers, virtual idols, etc., can help humans more effectively in virtual reality.
Sports intelligence, at present, the four-legged robot dog using iFLYTEK's AI algorithm can easily cope with various complex scenes and walk freely on different terrains. With the blessing of sports intelligence, it will become more possible for robots to enter every home in the future.
In addition, in his speech, Liu Qingfeng also talked about the role of artificial intelligence in industry.
He said that this year, iFLYTEK won the DCASE Global Industrial Voiceprint Challenge champion, and the machine can understand whether various equipment is operating normally, and whether various products are noisy or defective. Combine hearing, vision, touch, smell, and taste to form the "industrial six senses" of the AI brain.
"I believe that the six senses of industry will build the core underlying capabilities of the entire industrial Internet, empower the high-quality development of traditional industries, better help small and medium-sized enterprises cross the digital divide, and provide heroic places for industrial Internet developers." Liu Qingfeng said.
