In traditional industries "encounter" smart era, science and technology innovation Deepening the moment, "innovators" of the team how to grow?
Earlier this year, Baidu joint "deep learning technology and application National Engineering Laboratory" was established Whampoa Academy, the "Whampoa School, innovators come" slogan answers, designed to train the first batch of businesses, "chief architect AI . " June 16, Whampoa School graduation ceremony to usher in a student in Beijing.
Executive Director of Baidu AI technology platform system, Dean of College of Wu Whampoa is sweet from the National Satellite Meteorological Center, CPC Reflexite, CITIC Bank, Spiritual electronics, OPPO, Guangdong Power Grid, Guangdong Changlong Group, China Unicom Software Institute, iQIYI and so on through the graduation of 28 students awarded a diploma defense. They can be described as the industry's first "chief architect AI."
Wu sweet when it comes to graduation speech: "We have a very good time today, there are a lot of domestic demand in driving us, we can foresee, artificial intelligence and depth combined with rapid industrial development is bound to hope earnestly Whampoa School. both to help companies analyze business problems reserves, and master model algorithm, can surgeon floor applications, well versed in the business of creative talent in close connection with the algorithm works. so the domestic demand-driven, so we have more and better opportunities for innovation . "Finally, she said:" today is the Whampoa Academy graduation ceremony for the first students of the course is a full stop, but the depth of its application in China to learn, this is a new starting point for Baidu look forward to. and we will learn the depth of applied technology together as 'fire' continue to spread out, forming a prairie fire! "
According to reports, Baidu Whampoa School with more than 20 scientists and business architects as a mentor for the students to be taught in the field of technology and research segments. Course content, Huan Jun Baidu large data Laboratory Director, Baidu deep learning technology platform director Ma Yanjun, Baidu Yang Rui autopilot robot with just Laboratory Director, Institute scientists Baidu Kenneth Church, Baidu Institute Visiting Professor Yang Yi and other personally taught fly deep learning platform paddle (PaddlePaddle), 3D vision technology and unmanned systems, AutoDL, against the design and application of the network, reinforcement learning and a number of Baidu core AI technology and case Studies. Architects from Baidu also distributed training for flying propeller and recommended application to use GPU-flying propeller of multi-machine distributed training, the most dynamic graphic design trend against neural network design and application of core AI technology, and industrial grade lexical analysis system, sentiment analysis system construction method and other useful content, fully integrated combat depth analysis teaching.
All courses around to locate the problem, the problem dismantling, explore solutions, practical solutions and experimental design work system, so that each student to achieve "the school that income", and each participant has two assistants help learn together. A period of nearly six months of training in Beijing teaching, so that students are fully integrated with their industry and business needs, the use of Chinese deep learning open-source platform - fly propeller, combining AI applications to business practice floor.
Fly paddle as the only independent research and development, the Chinese-featured open source depth learning platform already supports more than 60 official model validation through real business scenarios, covering vision, natural language processing, and other AI recommended core technology. In the framework of the core level, it can provide development, training and predict a set of technical capabilities; the same time, to meet the "standardization, automation and modular" industrial mass production stage, flying paddles are also provided, including transfer learning, reinforcement learning, automation network design, training visualization tools, elastic computing, including a deep learning tool components. In the service platform level, fly paddle provides a zero-based customized training and service development platform and one-stop platform EasyDL AI Studio, to further reduce the threshold for application of deep learning, so that the basis of zero intelligence algorithms to accelerate industrial transformation.
Scene the day after the students complete defense, technology supervisor Baidu Whampoa School and also from Huawei, Wen power meters, iQIYI of AI architect students on the "open source platform application depth learning to fly paddle in the enterprise" launched a round table discuss. Discussion, referring to AI to landing pain point B, instructors and students have pointed out that, since the same scene B-side "industrial" applications, application details vary widely, so whether it is from the algorithm model or deployment levels full of challenges. The algorithm model Baidu fly from paddle to provide all the industrial practice of Baidu, after large-scale data, scenario training, especially for Chinese semantic representation, sentiment analysis and so on, Baidu unique algorithm based on data available now mature and stable model , significantly increasing the speed of training and implementation efficiency.
Outstanding student representatives from Huawei also pointed out in his speech: "In the six months of study, I feel more and more excited, a lot of algorithmic model we are walking in front of the world!" At the same time, learning to share feelings when he pointed out that "AI Architects the biggest concern is not only how the algorithms, distributed deployment and training, higher capacity faster and more accurate, but also a complete set of landing a practical solution. We can say that the AI engineering, real application to the practice, it will create greater value. "
Artificial intelligence, especially the "deep learning" has become the core of a new generation of scientific and technological revolution and the industrial revolution of the driving forces, while Baidu is AI to the aid of their own technology advantages and landing of B, which aims to cultivate the intelligence "Uncharted Waters" of the times helm hand, all walks of life to bring new ideas to solve problems, but also bring new opportunities. Baidu first students have graduated from the Whampoa Academy, but the road of technological innovation, has only just begun.
