The AI speech recognition competition, which is highly concerned by the design and manufacture of home service robots, including Asus, is about to begin. The competition is divided into three stages, the preliminary and the semi-finals are scheduled to be held in August 2018 and December, and the final in February 2019. will be in various situations of the voice test, including such as the market, department stores, exhibitions and other scenes of the dialogue, or by the foreigner read out the Chinese and other types of multiple accent, test the team's AI on Chinese speech recognition and semantic understanding of the ability. In fact, the major science and technology competition is the focus of manufacturers, mainly through the understanding of the competition process, we will know the company's technical strength and other fields such as academia, research sector or other competitors in the gap. Once the results of the competition, the best team is usually the major manufacturers, even including Google and other foreign businessmen scramble to win the target. So the science and technology Department of this competition on the surface is competitive, but actually for the manufacturers to find talent. The Ministry of Science and Technology said it was the largest voice AI event in Taiwan, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, in collaboration with the public television and national Education broadcasting station, gradually built the largest Chinese voice database in Taiwan, opened the competition team in March 2018 and continued to increase the database size during the competition, To provide the team with more abundant technology development and testing. The Ministry of Science and Technology pointed out that the ' tech ring, and the AI dialogue ' first prize up to NT $20 million of the formal competition will be in all walks of life to look forward to the debut, is expected to attract a long time of the various road masters, common challenges to the difficult AI Chinese speech problem solving. The ' Dialogue with AI ' contest contains online points and live competitions. Unlike a single, internationally renowned event in a particular field, this contest's test questions are more difficult to challenge than the medical, technological, and life-related fields. The competition is divided into three stages, test the team's AI on Chinese speech recognition and semantic understanding of the ability, according to the results obtained points, into the next step of the challenge of higher difficulty, and finally won 20 million Yuan prize. The Ministry of Science and Technology also invited the National Chinese Test Promotion Committee, the Taiwan Normal University Mandarin Teaching Center to join, to provide ' Chinese language proficiency test (test of Chines as a Foreign Language, for short TOCFL) ' as model training and testing. The Ministry of Science and Technology said that after the game began, with the AI robot through the increasingly difficult TOCFL Test level, the public can more intuitively understand the Taiwanese AI robot speech Chinese language ability progress and technology advancement. The Ministry of Science and Technology hopes to speed up the development of AI technology in Taiwan and set up a wave of artificial intelligence revolution, so that Taiwan will gain a foothold internationally.
