Shangtang AI capabilities are closer to the ground.
On May 15, Shangtang Technology held the 2019 Shangtang Artificial Intelligence Summit, releasing 11 important products in one breath, and making a finer granularity layout for the smart city, education, medical and other industries.
At the beginning of the event, Xu Li, co-founder of Shangtang Technology, took the stage and delivered a keynote speech on "Life-changing AI". Xu Li said that 2018 has been considered the first year of the combination of AI and industry, but from this year's point of view, it's still just thunder and no rain. How is Shangtang going to bring AI to people's lives? This is the question they have been thinking about.
He cited the example of the change in the cover of Time magazine, which first used a non-character theme around 2010: life technology, and predicted that life technology is the core theme of the 21st century. 2015, the cover chose virtual reality, but four years later, the technology has made very little difference to life. Now, Time magazine chose artificial intelligence for the cover, and if the current industry players don't make some efforts to generate change, it will still be of no use at all 5 years from now.
When it comes to city management and the factors that affect people's lives, Xu Li tried to use "Qingming Shanghe Tu" to do the explanation. He pointed out that "Qingming Shanghe Tu" is a typical picture of life, there is a medical hall (medical open), stores (offline retail), roadside stalls (control the flow of online retail), private schools (one-to-many education) and other scenarios, with today's factors affecting food, clothing, housing and transportation has not changed much, but today if AI is not to do with these scenarios to do a combination of, it is still just a "science to stay in the laboratory". The first step is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're doing.
Subsequently, the person in charge of each of the business groups in the soup went up to the stage in turn, and announced the release of products in five major fields, including smart city, AI education, AI medical, smart business, and AR augmented reality.
Business Intelligence AI City Strategy: Ark upgraded to version 2.0, AI infrastructure scale expansion
Yan Gao, COO of Business Intelligence City Business Group of Business Intelligence Technology, took the stage and released the Business Intelligence AI City end-side cloud integration strategy.
The first thing is to announce the data. Shangtang's layout in the smart city has achieved certain results, with a geographical coverage of 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, and nearly 100 cities; a total of more than 100,000 access cameras; and the largest city visual hub system accessing more than 20,000 video streams, consuming more than 2,000 CPUs.
On the application scenarios, Yan Gao said that Shangtang has already covered the public security, transportation, real estate, banks, campuses, community, space and venues and other scenes. She focused on the 3 end-side capabilities of the AI capability hub. End side: front-end lightweight high-precision algorithms, features, information compatibility; side side: small and medium-sized scene data closed loop, efficient and practical; cloud side: massive data high availability, algorithm generation.
Talking about smart city infrastructure, Amazing Grace focused on the release of the city-level vision open platform by SenseFoundry2.0 Ark, and pointed out that in the 1.0 version, Shangtang has done a lot of functional module upgrades, such as:
More accurate on the city high-precision algorithms; on the city scene algorithm bin, focusing on the data of water conservancy governance, environmental protection, etc., Shangtang has a good production algorithm pipeline, a thorough understanding of various industries; multi-line fusion analysis engine technology, Shangtang launched 6 major categories of analysis class algorithms, open to the industry to solve all kinds of problems in the smart city.
Gao Yan immediately released SenseNebula Nebula, a flexible edge AI competence center product, which can cover lightweight scenarios, and can support the preservation of historical data information for more than 7 days. It has the advantage of plug-and-play intelligent system construction, and innovatively implants the multi-algorithm mode usage strategy into a single device, which can be configured with adapted algorithm modes according to different scenarios.
Subsequently, AMAZING continues to release the new generation of SensePass, a powerful AI end node.
SensePass has an industry-leading ultra-thin industrial design (15mm), and its dark environment design also solves the problem of blinding white light used by similar products on the market today, making the product and the environment one and the same. It has a strong front-end computing power, without the need for heavy back-end deployment, can be placed in multiple locations such as gates, doorways and so on. The binocular camera + live body detection capability can effectively eliminate attacks with videos, photos, 3D printed headgear, and so on. It can support a large library of 20,000 offline faces with a false recognition rate of only 0.01%.
Shangtang AI education strategy: AI teaching materials to play a leading role in the release of a number of educational robots
Subsequently, Dai Juan, general manager of the AI Education Division, took the stage, released the latest strategy of Shangtang AI education, and brought a number of new educational robot pieces.
Dai Juan pointed out that at present, Shangtang's AI has landed in more than 10 fields, and these resources can be converted into project-based learning courses for students, while the goal of Shangtang education is to popularize the technology of AI and improve children's basic A literacy, which is a very tacit match with the scenario-based landing.
On the AI education ecological construction program (Figure), Lei Feng network noted that AI teaching materials have always been the core of the Shangtang education board. At present, Shangtang and the Commercial Press and others have jointly published the "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" paper textbook for junior high school students to help them master learning AI skills, and also developed an online course (200 hours), which is available on both PC and Pad. In addition to this, the on-site interaction with Zhang Yuyao, an information technology teacher at Tsinghua University High School, heralded the release of the SenseStudy AI course creation tool, which allows schools to select and create experimental courses that fit the characteristics of their students.
And in the education support system, Shangtang has a layout of labs, robots, AI training, summer camps, and so on. On the scene, Dai Juan brought two educational robots to show. One is a mini programming car, and one is an autopilot car SenseRover pro. SenseRover Mini can realize the basic cruising function, according to their own needs to design different sizes and shapes of the track. According to reports, the purpose of releasing these robots is to significantly develop students' ability to program and innovate on their own.
Dai Juan emphasized that all education solutions are designed to serve the children of Shangtang employees themselves first, and then to serve children outside of the enterprise - that's Shangtang Education.
Shangtang AI medical ambitions: large-scale promotion of clinical AI applications Release of intelligent diagnosis and treatment platform
The third to take the stage to release the product is Shangtang Technology Vice President, Vice President of the Research Institute, Shao-Ting Zhang, who is responsible for the intelligent medical and health system internally. He emphasized that the combination of medical and AI algorithms will make a significant difference in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
The Internet medical companies that have emerged in the past few years have focused on the six diseases in the imaging department (assisted diagnosis and treatment of bone fractures, assisted diagnosis and treatment of stroke, assisted diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia, assisted diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer, etc.), but there are still a lot of diseases outside of the clinic that have not been paid attention to and paid attention to, such as cardiac surgery, hepatology, neurosurgery, respiratory, orthopedics, and cardiology, among others.
He then brought the release of the SenseCare intelligent diagnosis and treatment platform.
According to the introduction, this is based on its artificial intelligence algorithms and medical image advanced post-processing technology to create intelligent aids for different clinical diagnosis and treatment paths, in the actual diagnostic and treatment process, the platform can solve the problem of inconvenient data transmission between the imaging department and the clinical departments, allowing clinicians to remotely and real-time three-dimensional data analysis and post-processing on the platform, while combining with artificial intelligence algorithms for automated The platform allows clinicians to remotely analyze and post-process 3D data in real time on the platform, while combining the automatic analysis of artificial intelligence algorithms to efficiently and accurately complete tasks such as diagnosis or surgery planning.
Zhang Shaoting pointed out that the two engines of SenseCare intelligent diagnosis and treatment platform are high concurrent 3D rendering technology and clinical AI applications. On the high-concurrency 3D rendering technology, it realizes high-quality interactive 3D rendering for 160+ users at the same time, rich VR/CPR/MIP/MPR and other advanced processing functions, ultra-lightweight client, and high data security.
Currently this platform has been laying out algorithms and clinical applications in orthopedics, respiratory medicine, cardiology and other directions.
Release of Smart Retail Vision Platform: People, Cargo, and Field Fine-Grained Data Driven
Immediately following the presentation, Wenjian Miao, Associate Director of Technology, Business and Data Insight Business Group, Shangtang Technology, took the stage and released the SenseGo Smart Retail Vision Platform.
He first started from the theory of people, goods, and space, and issued 4 questions: How to understand consumers? How to improve store operations? How to improve the conversion rate? How to quantify the marketing effect? This means that, in fact, the intelligent retail platform of Shangtang is the layout of the B-end market, with the help of computer recognition capabilities to do the association of offline and online data, to connect the process of contacting the offline consumer individuals to the transaction, and on the basis of getting more accurate data, to do accurate marketing and operation, and to help enterprises to improve their brand power.
He used the SenseGo intelligent retail visual platform to demonstrate the offline consumption scene, and explained the intelligent retail visual platform from the links of data perception (the camera grabs the face), understanding (the front AI algorithm, extracting the key information), analyzing (processing the data obtained in the perception process), and decision-making (making the real operation and marketing).
Overall, Shangtang's smart retail platform is data-driven with fine-grained granularity of people and goods.
SenseAR release: the engine is cool "so that there is no hard to do special effects in the world"
Luan Qing, Executive Director of Products, Mobile Intelligence Business Group, Business Intelligence Technology, then brought an impassioned speech focusing on the release of SenseAR.
In terms of access capabilities, SenseAR is the first of its kind in the world. p>
In terms of access capabilities, SenseAR supports sense devices (normal cameras, senseu advertisers, senseDLC) and edge AI devices (cluster servers, SenseGo edgecube).
Luan Qing also brought a virtual audience solution, AI virtual teacher demo. In addition to this, SenseAR 2.0 was released with three major feature updates: support for glasses (the world's first AR platform across different devices), AI capabilities (the landing of AI capabilities), and AR cloud (support for multi-person interaction). On the scene, three staff members took the game "Black Sheep Guardian" as an example of AR cloud capabilities.
Luan Qing introduced, the reason why SenseAR 2.0 supports eyeglasses equipment, the principle is that the data into the library, the scene reconstruction and AI recognition fusion, and join the high-precision map navigation capabilities, so that the virtual world and the physical world to do a perfect combination.
Shangtang Founder Xiaogou Tang's Grand Finale Speech: The Unlimited Possibilities of "AI+"
After a few of our partners, Tang Xiaogou, founder of Shangtang, finally appeared on stage. His speech centered on "AI+".
He began by humorously responding that this summit will not involve any major funding announcements.
He said that AI will be a technology with infinite possibilities in the future, and AI+Eat, AI+Drink, AI+Play, and AI+Leisure are all developing rapidly. The company itself is also exploring some of the more practical applications, such as AI cloud WeChat small program is an attempt to AI + play.
The topic of AI+Education is a key part of Tang's speech. He himself is a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, has a very thorough understanding of education, and has many years of practical experience. As a parent, he is also very concerned about the education and growth of children.
In 2018, Shangtang Technology issued a high school version of the textbook Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence in conjunction with the Commercial Press and the East China Normal University Press, with the aim of popularizing AI knowledge, and the essence is to educate and cultivate talents. Now, Shangtang has newly launched the middle school version, which will popularize AI knowledge more downward.
He pointed out some differentiation between university education in China and the United States: "Most American universities are like a primeval forest, and it is not known what talents will be cultivated; but most universities in China are like cornfields, and the yield is very standard and easy to quantify, but the quality is actually not how to do up." For the current stage of many domestic universities have established AI colleges this trend, Tang Xiaoou has been upholding reservations. He pointed out that the international first-class universities on the "School of Computing" name has been used, because it is a technology, and can not constitute a separate industry, and today's AI is also the same, not "AI a separate industry", but "AI+", and he worries that AI students are likely to face unemployment in the future.
Now, AI is increasingly breaking boundaries. The boundaries between industry, academia and research, between industries, between AI and traditional industries, and between China and the international community have all been broken, and cooperation with each other is becoming more and more frequent. Internationalization, Shangtang and Singapore closely carry out AI cooperation, to create a Malaysian AI industrial park, in Japan there is the latest industrial base (with Honda and Omron have cooperation), in South Korea and Snow company to carry out AI aspects of the cooperation
Lei Feng network summary
This conference has a compact agenda, did not set up a major financing news
This event was a tightly packed agenda, with no major funding announcements, but rather product updates and partner presentations, making it a more down-to-earth AI summit.
Given the position of Shangtang among AI unicorns, I believe there will be a lot of attention both on and offline. However, smart cities, healthcare, education, business, AR and so on are all scenarios that have made a difference to the lives of today's people, and are also areas where AI has great potential, and Shangtang's in-depth layout and fine-grained enhancement is signaling the arrival of rationality for AI players after frenzied financing.
When a new era comes, no matter who, will be profoundly faced with self-examination and drive. ai is no exception, "ecological construction" will also become an important issue for industry players in the next period of time - however, this will be a The war for resources will start.
