Preface
In today's digital age, artificial intelligence is changing the way we live and work at an alarming rate. From smart voice assistants to self-driving cars, from smart homes to medical diagnosis, artificial intelligence technology has widely penetrated into various industries and brought huge changes and innovations. More and more industry experts, scholars and practitioners are actively participating in the practice of artificial intelligence and industry applications in order to further promote the development and application of artificial intelligence.
activity description
This event was jointly organized by Microsoft and NVIDIA, attracting the participation of many developers and companies in various fields, as well as senior instructors giving wonderful sharings. The activities were rich in content and brought rich gains to the participants.
This article is a sharing of feelings and thoughts about participating in this event. I am very honored to participate in this offline salon event and will share my personal gains and thoughts next.
Analyze industry development
In this salon speech, many teachers pointed out that the success of the promotion and application of a technology depends not only on the advancement of the technology itself, but also on whether the technology can meet the needs of society.
At the same time, when studying the development rules of artificial intelligence technology, we found that artificial intelligence must be combined with production tools to be scientifically applied in society. Stand-alone, personalized artificial intelligence technology is usually only used for scientific research in laboratories.
Therefore, promoting the development of artificial intelligence technology mainly comes from the power of meeting social needs and improving production tools. This view reflects the pursuit of real needs by users of production tools and the common goal of social development.
With the development of human society, the needs for production efficiency, living environment, lifestyle, etc. are constantly changing. Artificial intelligence technology has gradually improved and matured to better meet the needs of social development, and is constantly being promoted and applied. From this perspective, the real users of artificial intelligence technology are fundamental to the value of this technology in society. At each historical stage, technical requirements are proposed, and it is ultimately up to technology developers to turn these requirements into reality.
At the current stage, as humankind's demand for "machine replacement of humans" continues to increase, artificial intelligence has ushered in huge development opportunities. The rise of this demand has surpassed any period in history. Artificial intelligence technology has been widely used in various fields such as manufacturing, service industry, transportation, medical care, health, elderly care, nursing, education, security, and home furnishing. This phenomenon shows that the success of artificial intelligence technology is inseparable from the fit with social needs. It also reflects that the development of technology is to better meet the changing needs of society.
Practical experience
This hands-on practice is to use large models to build application solutions on NVIDIA Jetson. The following are the key steps of practice:
Step 1: Install and configure the NVIDIA Jetson development environment
In this step, participants need to follow the instructions to install and configure the Jetson development environment to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent practice. For convenience, this event provides the option to access and use the NVIDIA Jetson development environment online, allowing participants to easily carry out hands-on operations.
Step 2: Select suitable large models and application scenarios
In the workshop, the instructor will select a suitable large model and application scenario, and introduce its basic principles and application methods to the participants, so that they can understand how to apply the large model to solve practical problems.
Step 3: Optimize and compress the large model
Considering that Jetson device resources are limited, this step requires optimizing and compressing the selected large model to adapt to the device's hardware conditions and ensure efficient operation.
Step 4: Carry out model training and tuning
Participants will learn how to use annotated data to train large models, and perform model tuning and improvement to ensure that the model's performance reaches the optimal level in specific application scenarios.
Through this practical workshop, participants will participate in the entire process of building application solutions based on large models, gain an in-depth understanding of the advantages and application methods of large models, and master relevant development technologies and methods. Although this workshop is limited in time, participants are required to have certain knowledge of the Python programming language and bring their own computers and other equipment. However, with the personal guidance and help of the two instructors, all participants successfully experienced the application of large models and successfully generated their own AIGC pictures. I also generated my own AIGC pictures through modifications and operations. Here are the specifics of my AIGC graph:
Summarize
This salon exploring artificial intelligence and industry application practices, co-organized by Microsoft and NVIDIA, was an inspiring and rewarding experience. The event deeply discussed how artificial intelligence technology is applied on NVIDIA Jetson through large models, showing us the broad application prospects of artificial intelligence technology in different fields.
In the salon, we learned the key steps in building application solutions based on large models, including installing and configuring the development environment, selecting applicable large models and application scenarios, optimizing and compressing the model, and training and tuning the model. These steps not only allowed us to experience the power of large models firsthand, but also gave us a deeper understanding of how to apply artificial intelligence technology to practical problems.
In addition, the salon also emphasized the importance of the practice and promotion of artificial intelligence technology. Only through continuous practice and application can we promote the development and innovation of technology, promote cross-border cooperation, cultivate talents, and even promote the development and transformation of the entire industry. This event provided us with a valuable opportunity to communicate with experts and peers in the field, and deepened our understanding of artificial intelligence technology and industry applications.
In short, this salon not only brought us important insights into the application of artificial intelligence and large models, but also inspired us to continue to explore and practice in depth. It is a technological feast full of vitality and innovation, making us look forward to the changes and innovations that artificial intelligence will bring to all walks of life in the future.
