On the occasion of the tide of artificial intelligence, Intel, a 49-year-old veteran technology company, is trying to make itself cool.
For example, in the 'Super Bowl' midfield show with UAV to LadyGaga performance dancers, the use of action capture technology to restore Shakespeare drama "storm" role, and through real-time 3D face reconstruction technology for Li Yuchun's new MV " But we are together "to create special effects.
In this MV cooperation, Intel through the camera to detect and identify the face, positioning 78 key points, real-time tracking head movement and facial expression changes on the image of intelligent analysis and feature extraction, and then through the operation will be different Special effects superfluous. 'Intel China Academy Dean Song Jiqiang told the first financial reporter, and before the technology is different, real-time 3D face based on the existing camera can also be achieved, but also test the back-end algorithm.
In fact, Intel is through the combination of sports, gaming and entertainment so that more people to re-understand themselves, from the PC chip field to the data company transformation, artificial intelligence is an indispensable piece, and in order to better With the face recognition effect, the Intel China Research Institute has tailored and designed several depth learning network models, and has created and collected hundreds of thousands of face photos to train these models.
Song Jijiang told reporters that Intel has now formed from the hardware, libraries, frameworks, platforms to experience the 'full stack' AI strength, in the experiential marketing traction, the new technology platform and consumers can produce more resonance , Not just in the industry practitioners.In the interview, he also talked about Intel's view of intelligent artificial.He said that the current artificial intelligence is still in infancy, the next ten to two decades of the trend is to develop , But it is too early to judge what is the final (artificial intelligence) chip solution.
'Because the chip needs to rely on the application to determine, before the implementation of the application (industry) can not determine what is the final chip program.' Song Jijiang told reporters.
Artificial intelligence is in infancy
In the era of intelligent interconnection, data floods are surging.It does not just mean that the amount of data explosion, but also reflected in the revolutionary changes in the form of data, and data processing methods of extension.
In terms of quantity, by 2020, the amount of data generated by each Internet user will be 1.5GB per day, and the amount of data generated per day for each unmanned vehicle is 4TB. The amount of data generated per day for each networked aircraft is 40TB Home cloud video providers produce data per day is up to 750PB, and from the data form, followed by video data, audio data, social data and other unstructured data, the future will also show richer data Such as radar data, sonar data, GPS data, laser laser data, networked vehicle data, neural network data, genetic data, and the like.
Intel believes that this will bring a lot of industry opportunities, including artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence is to stimulate a new round of computing innovation, the full release of data value.
Song Jiqiang said that the industrial scale and social value of artificial intelligence will be comparable to the agricultural revolution, industrial revolution and the digital revolution.It will bring great opportunities for development, promote industry, transportation, energy, retail, finance, medical and other industries Personal transformation, the future of society, life has a huge impact.
'Now see the artificial intelligence of the interaction of the above functions, such as face recognition, or voice recognition, such as when you can automatically talk about the sound of other people around the mute, but artificial intelligence is not just to solve this one, The future there are more applications, such as the excitement can automatically help you to collect material to produce content, to help you solve some of the problems must be manually resolved. "Song Jijiang told reporters that artificial intelligence in the future a great opportunity, especially Hardware acceleration, as well as memory, communication.He believes that only with the combination of communication technology, in order to build a complete unmanned industrial system, or else launched an independent unmanned product, can not form industry, and Intel to Doing is to promote large-scale industries.
But he also admitted that the current industry on the definition of artificial intelligence is more vague, in fact, covered the market is very large, such as the financial sector, Wall Street also do quantitative investment, anti-money laundering, which is not considered the concept of artificial intelligence inside.
'Artificial intelligence is currently in infancy, is Intel's general awareness.' Song Jiqiang said, now to determine what is the final (artificial intelligence) chip program is too early, the chip needs to rely on the application to determine the application can not be judged before the implementation of what Is the ultimate chip solution.
Intel to do AI basic technology investment
Intel recognizes the great changes that are coming to the future of the AI field and the new requirements for data computing, and its judgment is that future hardware in the field of artificial intelligence will move toward more diversification, but with the advent of computer age Development has become more mature, many of the deployment of technology has become very difficult, because many of the technology is under the framework of the entire artificial intelligence, but in the AI-related areas, only 7% of the application is in line with AI specific Requirements and demands.
According to Song Jijiang, there are currently more than 800 Intel Research Institute, including four research directions, circuit architecture, system software research, 5G frontier communications and security technology privacy management technology, while the China Academy has more than 60 people, Visual correlation of artificial intelligence core algorithms, including face recognition technology.At the same time, there are emotional recognition, technical understanding of the scene, home robots and other artificial intelligence related research direction.
So, in order to better achieve artificial intelligence, Intel is also constantly extending its technology layout, including the acquisition of the world's leading unmanned solutions provider Mobileye, depth learning and neural network chip and software leader Nervana, leading computer vision Company Movidius and leading provider of artificial intelligence services Saffron. By combining these investments with Intel Xeon, Intensive Fusion Products, Real Technology and FPGA, it provides full stack strength to handle end-to-end data from hardware, libraries and languages , Frameworks, tools to application scenarios, and all the assets needed to provide end-to-end artificial intelligence solutions to the market.
Song Jijiang told reporters that Intel's acquisition of AI start-ups are large and small, some are based on rules, reasoning areas, there are some areas of the robot, but the layout of the logic is the first to solve the training problem.
Such as Nervana. Song Jijiang introduced to reporters, training is currently more popular in-depth learning algorithm, it can train a model to solve some problems of the helper, such as it can be trained after the speech recognition, face recognition, or Object detection, there are different functions. After training will face a problem is the deployment, the deployment is not actually involved in training, it is fast, low cost, low power consumption. Another acquisition of some companies such as Saffron, Itseez, is a Some specific areas of the algorithm, Saffron is used to do some based on a large number of event records, to do the associated memory mining, extract the pattern.
'Intel is more to be able to play and support the basis of technology can quickly become available technology, the location of Intel's own station is not a specific area, we have to support our partners and ecosystem can do a good job. 'Song Jiqiang told reporters.
