Shulou(Shulou.com)06/02 Report--

In December 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the report on the Analysis of Chinese Patent Technology of artificial Intelligence in 2019. According to the report, by October 2019, China had applied for more than 440000 artificial intelligence patents, making it the country with the highest number of patent applications in the AI field in the world.

At present, domestic artificial intelligence technology has gradually penetrated into many fields, such as transportation, medical treatment, education, logistics, pension, culture, sports and so on, ranging from high-speed rail and aviation to audio and chips. it is also widely used in environmental protection, urban operation, judicial services and other fields. All kinds of industries hope to get on the express train of artificial intelligence.

So, what are the key areas of artificial intelligence development at present? Let's learn about it together.

Artificial intelligence chip

I can't help thinking that AI, the ultimate work directed by Guo Jingming in the live broadcast ceremony, tells the emotional story of AI and human beings. There is an impressive clip in which the blue blood chip is taken from the body of AI Su Xingchen. This chip is the AI core technology invented by the heroine Fu Xiaofa. The story is fictional and controversial, of course, but the topic of AI is very hot.

At present, artificial intelligence chips are mainly ASIC, FPGA, CPU, GPU, DSP, Cambrian and Horizon belong to ASIC, Altra's artificial intelligence chip belongs to FPGA, Nvidia's artificial intelligence chip belongs to GPU, Xingguang Intelligence 1 belongs to DSP, Intel's solution belongs to CPU.

Internet giants Baidu and Alibaba have also launched their own artificial intelligence chips-Baidu's XPU and Ali's Ali-NPU. "the future development of artificial intelligence should grit its teeth and break through the key core technologies." without a breakthrough in underlying basic technologies such as chip operating systems, the artificial intelligence industry is the attic in the air. " So said Hu Yan, director of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Natural language processing

Natural language refers to Chinese, English, French and other languages that people use every day. It is a language evolved from the development of human society, not man-made language. It is an important tool for human study and life. Generally speaking, natural language refers to the artificial language established by human society, which is different from the language such as programming.

Natural language processing refers to the operation and processing of the input, output, identification, analysis, understanding and generation of words, words, sentences and texts, which refers to the processing of natural language information such as shape, sound and meaning by computer. The realization of information communication between man and machine is an important issue of common concern in artificial intelligence, computer science and linguistics. If this problem is solved, it will not be far away for humans and intelligent robots to achieve barrier-free communication.

Speech recognition

Speech recognition is a new subject that enables machines to recognize and understand the content of the speaker's speech signal. the purpose is to transform the speech signal into text characters or commands, and to use the computer to understand the speaker's semantic content. to make them understand human voice, so as to judge the speaker's intention, is a very natural and effective way of man-machine communication.

In fact, speech recognition has already covered us. Speech assistants in smart phones, smart speakers at home, speech recognition systems in cars, early education robots and so on are all speech recognition technologies. In Guo Jingming's work AI, Su Xingchen incarnates into an intelligent speaker with visual and sound systems, and speech recognition technology is one of its necessary basic functions.

In recent years, intelligent speech has entered a period of rapid growth, and speech recognition has received extensive attention as an important branch of the speech field. According to the China Patent Technology Analysis report of artificial Intelligence in 2019, from 2011 to 2019, patent applications in the field of speech recognition technology increased significantly, and a large number of patent applications for speech recognition methods, devices and voiceprint recognition methods and devices emerged.

The AI intelligent voice collection system independently developed by Tumi Technology is based on the machine learning of voice and payback data to automatically optimize the collection model, so as to realize the intelligent and interactive collection of AI from end to end, such as asset docking, strategy formulation, intelligent outbound call, report monitoring and so on. The core technologies adopted in the system include intelligent voice (ASR, TTS, NLP) technology. ]

Experts predict that in the next 10 years, speech recognition technology will enter various fields such as industry, home appliances, communications, automotive electronics, medical care, family services, consumer electronics and so on.

Computer vision.

Computer vision refers to the use of cameras and computers instead of human eyes to identify, track and measure targets, and further do graphics processing to make computer processing more suitable for human eyes to observe or transmit to the instrument for detection. Computer vision system is to create a complete artificial intelligence system which can obtain the required "information" in the data of 2D plane image or 3D three-dimensional image.

Computer vision has become a forward-looking research field recognized by academia and industry, and some of the research results have been applied in practice. the most common application should be face recognition technology, such as work punch-in, access control recognition, identity authentication and so on. It will be more widely used in the future.

Intelligent robot

Robot is a technical field that often makes people think about artificial intelligence. Whether it is an industrial intelligent robot, an intelligent accompanying voice robot, or a system-like invisible robot, it all belongs to the category of artificial intelligence robot.

At present, intelligent robot has become one of the research hotspots all over the world and an important symbol to measure the level of industrialization of a country. In recent years, robot technology is rapidly expanding from traditional industrial manufacturing to medical services, education and entertainment, exploration and survey, bioengineering, disaster relief and other fields. Robot systems that meet the needs of different fields have been deeply studied and developed.

Scientists believe that the research and development direction of intelligent robots is to install "brain chips" on robots to make them more intelligent, which will take a big step forward in cognitive learning, automatic organization, comprehensive processing of fuzzy information and so on. Robots can replace human beings in more and more ways, or in appearance, behavior or cognition, or even emotionally.

However, at present, the intelligent robots on the market are all primary intelligence and weak artificial intelligence, and it is still a long way from reaching the artificial intelligence robot in science fiction movies ("strong artificial intelligence").

Since 2017, national and local governments have launched strong support policies, major universities and scientific research institutions have set up artificial intelligence majors and special research, and major enterprises have commercialized and localized their products. all this makes the development of domestic artificial intelligence begin a new round of rapid development.

2017.3 "artificial intelligence" is included in the government work report for the first time. 2017.7 countries put forward the guiding ideology, strategic objectives, key tasks and safeguard measures for the development of a new generation of artificial intelligence in 2030. 2017.10 artificial intelligence entered the 19th CPC National Congress report. To promote the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and the real economy 2017.12 "three-year Action Plan for promoting the Development of the New Generation artificial Intelligence Industry (2018-2020)" will be issued to promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and manufacturing

In the new generation of scientific and technological revolution and industrial reform, the development of artificial intelligence technology will be a strong support under the background of China's new normal economy and an important engine for the transformation of new and old kinetic energy. In the future, the development of domestic artificial intelligence will break through to various fields and industries, and go deep into everyone's life and work.
