Ke Dafei Vice President Yu Jidong
At the beginning of the year, the 2018 Shenzhen Robot Innovation and Development Forum was held at the Venice Ruidu Hotel in Shenzhen. The theme of this forum was "Innovation drives the wisdom of the Bay Area" and the elites, experts and scholars of the industry from the national robotics and artificial intelligence field. Gather together and discuss the innovative applications of the robot industry in technology, applications, finance and services in the new year. On the forum, Yu Jidong, Vice President of HKUST, spoke on the topic of “Smart AI, Smart Future,†and now publishes the full text for readers.
After three years from 2015 to 2018, it can be seen from the data that the entire robot industry has entered a state of rapid development. In the next three to five years, it is very likely that robots will reach a trillion-scale scale. Intelligent robots are a very important carrier for artificial intelligence. Because of the artificial intelligence, all people’s first reaction is that they have a variety of humanoid robots. Therefore, the robot itself is a carrier of AI in the physical world. The robot era may be condensed. These four levels of intelligence, including motion intelligence, perceptual intelligence, computational intelligence, and cognitive intelligence, are now much more powerful than robots in terms of cognition, but cognitive intelligence has been developing rapidly in recent years. The results will soon be achieved.
There are two common directions in the industry. The first is to use the current DNN algorithm plus big data, plus some expert knowledge, so as to form some artificial intelligence solutions that are rapidly applied in different scenarios in different industries. The second category is how to use The algorithm simulates the human brain, making AI exactly like people to think and make decisions. Various companies and institutions as well as research institutes are exploring in different directions. In fact, the HKUST flight has its own layout in both directions.
Artificial intelligence has a three-level advancing system. The first layer is the basic algorithm, which is the algorithm of DNN to CNN, JNA, and RNA in the past. The second layer is called the technical system, and it is the general algorithm through data and structure. A set of technical systems composed of decision-making, the third layer is the application system, is the application of the technology's landing scene. In the past ten years, HKUST has established a very effective algorithm, technology, and application promotion system. In the past few years, the entire AI has also achieved a lot of achievements, including the most authoritative in the last year. Voice far-field recognition technology competition won the first place in the world.
Currently, almost 90% of robot manufacturers in Shenzhen are using information technology's far-field identification solution. The six-microphone array solution has been released last year. Many partners now use this solution. In addition, the University of Science and Technology of China has scored the world's top results in speech synthesis, speech recognition, image recognition, and autopilot image recognition technologies. AI has reached the natural level of ordinary people's speech through the current algorithm, and may be even better than ordinary people in the future.
On the other hand, HKUST has also made great progress in its cognitive aspects, but the cognitive domain of artificial intelligence in the world is still far weaker than normal people. Cognitive technology is very difficult, and it is also a key point for artificial intelligence to make breakthroughs. Therefore, various technologies are now being tried in various fields. It is believed that with the advancement of technology, this breakthrough will soon occur. This will allow the robot to truly Self-learning and progress.
In fact, in some areas of cognitive learning, especially in certain specific areas of expertise, artificial intelligence has made great progress. For example, in the National Qualification Examination for Physicians, HKUST News achieved a robot that can take exams like a man after learning the papers and knowledge on books, and achieved top 100 such excellent results. At the same time, HKUST News has also become the first national new generation of artificial intelligence open innovation platform, which benefits from information flight from the beginning of 2010 to now nearly seven and a half years, continuing to open the most advanced technology to partners.
From the data point of view, the number of partners on the open platform reached 500,000 at the end of 2017, and more than 30,000 partners are using the technology of HKUST in an area where innovation and innovation is concentrated in Shenzhen; in addition, active terminals are also It reached 1.5 billion and the number of voice interactions per day reached 4 billion.
Take the HKUST Fly Input method as an example. Last year, the average number of times each person used on the IFE input method reached 15.2 times. This data was only about 7 times in the previous year. It can be seen that with the improvement of the voice capability, the frequency of the use of voice is also rapidly increasing. With robotic terminals, the average number of interactions per day has reached 53 times, and robots have become a typical carrier for artificial intelligence. In the future, robots may become the most important intelligent terminal for human-computer interaction. 90% of human information comes from the visual, but 80% of the information output is by speech. Therefore, robots need very strong voice interaction capabilities to be able to communicate naturally with humans, help people solve problems, or create new lifestyles.
HKUST’s open platform support for developers is also the most abundant in the industry. From software, to chips, to hardware and software integration, including a one-stop integrated solution, including the finished product-level solution MORFEI released in June 2017, the threshold for development and application is greatly reduced, and the development speed is greatly improved. In October 2017, HKUST released a new generation of AIUI open platform 2.0, which solved a lot of “pain points†for developers, including development and upgrading, input and output diversification, semantic contact, and personalization. Now the platform has more than 100 Skills, more than 60 contents open to partners.
HKUST hopes to divide the development into two categories. One is the original application development. The second is through their ability to create new skills and new content to be released on the platform of HKUST Newsflash, and then build a developer ecosystem together. In the future, each application developer can obtain more than a hundred content, even thousands, tens of thousands or even more.
HKUST hopes that developers can quickly build their own applications, and MORFEI, a finished-level solution, already has a fast integration case. For this reason, HKUST has added some capabilities in the cloud, hoping to achieve cloud-end contact through the cloud framework, allowing developers to quickly access. AIUI combines all of the past single-point capabilities together. HKUST hopes that AIUI will continue to iterate and integrate, allowing developers to focus on their work in the future instead of focusing on how to use single-point technology.
In the past, it was called the era of geeks. Now it is in the industrial age. ICUST has also released a chip solution. The 2 wheat DSP is the latest solution. It only has the size of sesame seeds, but it can achieve a recognition rate of about 95% at a distance of 3 meters. , And the power consumption is very low, and HKUST hopes that such chips can be applied to more and more terminals.
The whole idea of ​​HKUST's news is to combine the soft core of the algorithm with open source hardware to promote the rapid development of the entire industry. For example, MORFEI microphone, which is the industry's first to achieve a full range of pickup functions, can be placed on the desktop, the wall, the ceiling, this pickup performance can promote some smart home applications. In addition, MORFEI also provides the ability to accurately recognize far-field, multi-synthesizing the speaker's ability to switch freely, and in the future there will be distributed sound pickup capabilities. Considering that most developers do not have experience in acoustic structure design, HKUST has launched an acoustic evaluation service to help users verify whether the far-field interaction performance of the product meets the standards.
In addition, the latest RAIBOO robotic solution from HKUST News is mainly used in smart shopping guides and customer service marketing in shopping malls. HKUST hopes that robot service partners will be able to access the line together, integrate into the line, and deliver the robot to various application scenarios. HKUST not only provides technology for its partners, but also is a set of big data marketing platform in the background. Through the integration of online and offline data, it provides marketing services for all companies, so as to realize the greater application value of robots.
