"Today's Core Sound" is a brief reading column introduced by Core Reading Technology, which gathers the latest and hottest AI application information at home and abroad every day, so stay tuned.
1. On the omnipotent small program, there is finally a cat's "Facebook"
Yao chicken, braised egg, Tengu, cow, see these words, you may be difficult to associate them with cats. However, strange things always happen. These are all the names given to campus cats by Peking University students, and they have recently appeared together in a "cat version Facebook" applet.
This little program called "Beida Cat Kitbook" is on fire. To facilitate the management of cats, cat Peking University Association launched this small program to take pictures of each cat, named, also recorded cat "school" status microphone: the normal state is in school, graduated was adopted, no long count drop out . Not only that, Peking University also arranged sterilization for each cat, the sterilized cats will have exclusive commemorative photos. In response, netizens said, "I hope other schools can learn too!"
On the cat ’s profile page, social relations are also studied clearly. For example, "Yifan" is the son of "Jesse", "Yingjie" is the daughter of "Jesse", and "Tu Qian" has a good relationship with the "Jesse" family. "Cheese" and "Niu Niu" have a good relationship, neither of them likes "Ginger Duck". "Jiangsi Duck" once chased "Barley" and had a bad relationship with other cats. The enthusiasm of netizens was quickly ignited. Facing the realistic version of "Animal Cat Friends", everyone spontaneously studied the relationship between cats and cats-and even spread the gossip of "triangle love".
After the launch of the mini-program, on April 15, Weibo user "Fang 0 18" posted a Weibo, immediately attracting 10,000 comments, 74,000 reposts, and 415,000 likes. Subsequently, the Weibo topic # 北大 猫咪 图鉴 为 燕园 喵 录 文件 # attracted 10,000 discussions and nearly 40 million readings. The reposting of Douban user Vincent Vega has also become a hot post. In just one day, the three platforms of WeChat, Weibo and Douban were captured by Peking University Cat.
Because it was so hot, on April 16, the second day of "Fang 0 18" posting on Weibo, the organizer "Beida Cat Association" issued a WeChat public account saying, "I'm sorry! The small program collapsed!" At the same time, there are too many visitors, the server where the applet picture is located is overwhelmed, and eventually it crashes. However, the current crash has recovered, and the cats can continue to return to play online.
Perhaps the popularity of Yanyuan's cats is a small probability event, but it brings a thought to the information dissemination in the Internet world-"the original heart" is very important. Those readings, conversion rates, and ROI are not all the value of the Internet. How to use Internet tools to do some interesting things is also a reflection of value.
From apps to small programs, the threshold for tool development is getting lower and lower, and this convenience also gives more and more people the opportunity to use Internet tools. Because more people participate, the tool will become more versatile, and the Internet will add an interesting and well-meaning side.
2. Ma Yun: The Internet will become the new infrastructure and the main driving force of the world economy
Last night, CCTV "1 + 1" Bai Yansong connected Ma Yun to conduct an exclusive interview with Ma Yun and Alibaba Group to donate anti-epidemic materials to many countries and regions around the world since the outbreak.
During the dialogue, Ma Yun said that the world economy and the Chinese economy are undergoing tremendous changes. Internet technology allows businesses to live in the past is good, the future of Internet technology is a necessary condition for companies to live parts. The Internet will become the new infrastructure and the main driving force of the world economy.
After that, Ma Yun gave his own opinion on Bai Yansong's question, "Does the Internet help our country look more optimistically?" The main trend of the world in the future. "
Ma Yun said: "It is impossible for any country, enterprise or person to completely get rid of the Internet and live to yesterday. This is a strong signal from the epidemic to the world economy ... , The concept of perfecting China's economic system. "
3. Questioned "fraud donation" ventilator: Musk publicly donates to the hospital list
According to foreign media reports, in order to help respond to the new coronavirus epidemic, American technology tycoon Elon Musk has promised to donate a large number of ventilators that the hospital urgently needs. However, CNN suspected Musk fraud. He issued multiple tweets to refute this, and published a list of some hospitals that accepted his donations.
On Thursday, local time in the United States, CNN's certified account wrote on Twitter: "Tesla CEO Musk said he has obtained more than 1,000 ventilators that can help California hospitals treat patients infected with the new coronavirus. However, three weeks later, the governor ’s office stated that the hospital had not received any respirator he promised. "
In response, Musk tweeted back: "What surprised me most is that CNN actually exists." In fact, as early as March, California Governor Gavin Newsom once said, Musk has fulfilled his promise.
He said at a press conference: "I told you a few days ago that he might provide 1,000 ventilators this week. This is a heroic act." Musk asked Newson in a subsequent tweet to "correct" This misunderstanding ".
CNN executive Matt Dornic responded to Musk's tweet and defended the Governor's office. He wrote: “It ’s strange to attack CNN because of comments from the California Governor ’s Office, especially when Musk ’s Tesla spokesperson did n’t respond to a request for comment. Your anger should be directed to the person who made the above comment, and Not the one who reported it. "
In response, Musk replied: "Maybe you don't know that Twitter has a search function? Even those hospitals admitted to receiving the ventilator." After that, Musk sent the list of hospitals that he accepted to CNN to prove it. CNN has not responded to requests for comment.
4 , Siri not smart enough to give it a binocular it! CMU cooperates with Apple, the camera makes AI assistant more precise
Recently, researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University Institute of Human-Computer Interaction designed an iOS program called "WorldGaze", which seems to bring the AI voice assistant in the mobile phone to reality and further integrate it into our lives.
This AI system can simultaneously call the front and rear cameras of the smartphone, locate the user's head in the real space through the front camera, and the rear camera can observe the scene around the user in real time, and use computer vision technology to analyze and identify nearby objects. When you walk on the road, the AI can use your head and eyes as pointers, and when you turn your gaze to any building or object on the road, the AI can also detect it.
Not only that, AI can also grasp the information of these buildings or objects, even when you see Starbucks on the roadside, you can ask it, "When will Starbucks close?" Or when you walk into a retail store and ask it "That Are there other colors for the sofa? "," Which one of this chair and that chair is cheaper? "It can answer your questions and interact with you at any time.
Back home, the AI voice assistant can also be connected to your smart home network. You can remotely control various devices, for example, you look at the TV and say "turn it on" to the voice assistant, the TV can be turned on without having to say The name of the furniture. This voice assistant can combine your sight and voice to simplify the operation of voice commands.
The AI voice assistant researcher Chris Harrison said that he hopes this technology will help "social mobile AR experience" and make people become "heads-up" instead of swiping their heads down on the road. The desire is beautiful, but the current technology still has certain limitations. For example, AI needs to detect objects through the rear camera of the mobile phone, but it is not convenient for the user to hold the mobile phone all the time, and it will inevitably be a little embarrassing. Perhaps devices like smart glasses are more suitable for this kind of AI voice assistant. Harrison also confirmed that the software can be easily applied to AR glasses.
Harrison also said, "Both possibilities exist," they currently choose to focus on smartphones, only because mobile phones have become a necessity for everyone at this stage, and currently no one wears AR glasses. He added, "AR glasses are increasingly incorporating sensors that track the gaze position (such as Magic Leap, which is used for focusing), so in this case, people only need an outward facing camera."
