The Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2018, themed “An Open and Innovative Asia, a Prosperous World”, kicked off at the Hainan International Convention Center on April 8, 2018. At this year’s Boao Forum, a large number of innovative and technological products are on display, showing the new trends of future life.
One of the biggest highlights of the Boao Forum for Asia is that the Official selection of IFLYTek translator as the designated translator products, and this is the first time that the Boao Forum uses artificial intelligence translator to provide services for on-site guests.
On the one hand, iFlytek’s unique translation reliability in a variety of circumstances, it can be connected to 4G and WIFI Internet access, and it is the industry’s exclusive NMT offline translation engine. To ensure that in indoor and outdoor even without signal links, still become a reliable translation assistant. On the other hand, the IFlye translation engine, based on the unique technical advantages of speech recognition and synthesis, can still accurately pick up sound in a noisy communication environment, and can also prepare for the recognition of colloquial expressions. The scene recognition optimization and the translation effect output comparable to human voice help professional communication.
Iflytek is capable of real-time translation between Chinese and English, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish and other languages, and even supports translation from Chinese to uyghur and Tibetan languages. In the era when China is vigorously promoting international cooperation under the belt and Road Initiative, IFlytek has improved its communication experience with technology application.
In order to facilitate the guests to enjoy the results of the forum in a timely and high quality, iflyTEK will provide technical support services of voice transfer and translation for several sub-forums in this year’s Boao Forum for Asia. Ai translator recognizes the speech content and translates it into English and Chinese simultaneously for screen display. The conference, including “21st Century Maritime Silk Road Island Economic Forum”, “China-Asean Provincial Mayors’ Dialogue”, “21st Century Maritime Silk Road” and Pan-South China Sea Economic Cooperation, has been published and filed to bring great convenience to this Year’s Boao Forum. This is the first time for boao Forum for Asia to use AI machine simultaneous transmission technology.
Microsoft Xiaobing, who can write poems, is no stranger to all of us, but this conference also played a stunt of “emotional intelligence”, which will not only score the appearance level of the experient, but also praise the communication object in person, and according to the expression of the communication object in real time, “why are you so nervous, go to Boao together!” In addition, xiaoice can tell stories and sing songs.
Xiao Ice is scoring guests on their “appearance level”
According to the person in charge of the site, with the continuous evolution of xiaoice capabilities, the product has become more than just a pastime for users in their spare time. The data and behavior patterns that users leave behind when they interact with Xiaobing are what Xiaobing — and Microsoft — sees as a more valuable treasure. In Microsoft’s view, “Xiaoice” with emotional intelligence will achieve more accurate transformation of business value driven by emotion in the future.
“Boao has refreshing cooling, coconut cups, Boao Zen Temple and Wanquan River rafting…” In the technology exhibition area with Xiaoice was an intelligent robot named “Xiaoi” wearing a blue “top” and a white “cap”. When the reporter came to xiao I’s side, he was chatting with participants and answering questions about hainan’s local delicacies and tourist attractions.
Intelligent robot little I
The “little I” is designed to mimic the human body and has a cute girl’s voice when talking. It has been put into use in Guiyang. Through conversations with her, she can answer questions about the city’s government affairs, medical care, finance, tourism and other aspects, as well as inquire local weather and food information. In order to serve the Annual Conference of Boao Forum, the robot prepared the annual conference and relevant local information of Hainan, as long as the question about the annual conference information, “little I” can give voice and text reply, good performance attracted former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s wife Liu Chunze to visit.
Boao Forum for Asia’s new media service area also has a special “receptionist” — bao Xiaomi, a reception robot developed by a subsidiary of Cheetah Mobile. At the Boao Forum, bao Secretary served as a “receptionist” in the relevant exhibition area, realizing convenient functions such as face tracking and intelligent broadcasting to improve reception efficiency.

It is reported that in addition to reception, bao Xiaosecretary also has intelligent guidance, focus following, automatic patrol and other practical functions.
Openness and innovation are the two key words of this annual conference. While the plethora of new and interesting products added to the fun of the Boao Forum, they also testified to the growing importance of technology companies in the economy. The future development of the AI industry will largely depend on the “open” and “innovative” spirit of the industry leader, and the landing and scene penetration of AI technology is the key. As one of the first batch of national AI innovation platforms, IFLYtek and many outstanding AI enterprises showed a new model of China’s AI technology at Boao Forum. I hope more and more science and technology elements will shine at boao Forum for Asia in the future.
