The WAVE SUMMIT 2021 Deep Learning Developer SUMMIT will be officially launched on May 20th. The SUMMIT will not only share the latest technology upgrades of flying oar, but also gather industry experts, scholars from well-known universities and top open source project sponsors to discuss industrial applications, talent cultivation and open source trends.

In addition to the wonderful main forum, the summit also set up 5 parallel forums, topics covering the latest upgrade characteristics of flying oar framework, sharing of well-known open source projects around the world, industrial intelligent practice cases, intelligent hardware ecology, integration of industry and education personnel training, etc. Developers can choose to participate freely according to their own interests, in order to get more professional and in-depth sharing content, to carry out exchanges and interactions.

What do five parallel forums have after all? What are the highlights of 30+ theme sharing sessions? Let’s get a sneak peek!

Flying OARS upgrade frontier Innovation Forum

In 2016, PaddlePaddle was officially open source. Based on years of deep learning technology research and business application, Baidu created China’s first self-developed, fully functional, open source, industry-level deep learning platform, enabling enterprises and developers to avoid repeating “wheel building”. Improve development efficiency and experience, and promote the practical application of AI technology in various industries.

At the PaddleHelix Forum, the PaddleHelix Team will take you through the PaddlePaddle2.0 release of new features and key upgrade kits, witness the release of the official version of “Biocomputing: PaddleHelix 1.0”, and the upgrade of quantum computing “Quantum Paddle”.

Flying oar distributed training technology leads the third generation of parametric server architecture, and recently launched multidimensional hybrid parallel technology to support super-large scale language model training. The chief architect of Baidu will give in-depth analysis of the distributed training technology of flying OARS and its application in business scenarios such as anchor recommendation and ERNIE.

Since it was first proposed in 2014, attention to generative adversarial networks has grown exponentially. Developers can live experience PaddleGAN in the old video repair, face movement transfer, lip motion drive, cartoon case show, learn about the latest PaddleGAN features, enter the magic world of PaddleGAN.

Since the opening of class, Baidu flying oar technology open class has been widely praised for its unique advantages of technical analysis and practical application. In this parallel forum, the “Zero-based Practice Deep Learning Punk-in Camp” with more than 2W students will also hold the closing ceremony for the first time, where developers can have face-to-face communication with Baidu’s outstanding architects and the person in charge of flying Paddling products to answer their doubts during the learning process.

Open source and Open Future Forum

A thriving open source community is inseparable from outstanding open source projects, and FeioAR continues to promote cooperation with outstanding open source projects in the industry. Open Source Forum invites technical leaders of many well-known open source projects around the world to express their opinions and explore open source approaches in the field of AI technology.

Once a good deep learning model is trained, the value of the model and algorithm can only be truly demonstrated when deployed in production. Therefore, how to give full play to the hardware computing power in different hardware environments, how to use the multi-frame model in industrial production environment at the same time, Java developers how to integrate C++/Python programs with their own database applications and other issues are very critical. This parallel forum invited technical leaders of open source projects such as Tengine, Triton, DJL, and Adlik to share their secrets on the last mile of deep learning.

What difficulties will China’s AI technology face when going to sea? How will open source projects grow and attract developers from around the world? How to build an international open source company? Jina AI founder and CEO Xiao Han will also share his deep understanding of the openness and internationalization of Chinese AI technology at the event.

In addition, scientists from DEEPMD-Kit will share the intersection between machine learning and basic science, FATE community brings wonderful contents such as machine learning ecology based on flying paddle to realize horizontal vision federation, Acceleration of OpenVINO deployment, BentoML one-stop deployment machine learning model, Milvus recommendation system, Volcano landing practice, etc.

[Industry and Education Integration talent Co-education] Forum

Over the years, Baidu has been leading the research and development of China’s core deep learning technology as a “wild goose”, but also continues to empower and lead the development of artificial intelligence technology education, providing sufficient power for AI talent training. “The construction of new engineering focuses on talent, and the key to talent training is teachers.” The parallel forum invited principals from Tsinghua University, Dalian University of Technology, Jilin University, China Agricultural University and paddling Education ecological operation to discuss production-research cooperation and talent cultivation in the era of artificial intelligence.

In 2018, Tsinghua established an interdisciplinary AI Research Institute to explore AI innovation and entrepreneurship education. In 2019, the Basic Industry Training Center of Tsinghua University set up a minor major in ARTIFICIAL Intelligence Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and in 2020, set up the artificial intelligence Innovation and entrepreneurship ability Enhancement certificate program. In the parallel forum, Zhou Jin, director of artificial Intelligence Laboratory of Tsinghua University Basic Industry Training Center, will share the “Tsinghua experience” of artificial intelligence innovation and entrepreneurship education and explore talent education in the new era.

As one of the first batch of universities to apply for the approved AI major, DUT’s AI talent training has gone through three stages: orientation module courses, new major directions, and establishment of a new major. Mr. Wang Yuxin will share the experience of cooperating with Baidu in teacher training, competition and collaborative education projects in Dalian Institute of Technology as baidu AI innovation practice base.

Professor Xuan Yubo from Jilin University will share the teaching process of project-based training with design thinking as the core, which is how to cultivate new innovation and entrepreneurship projects, and cultivate new engineering talents with strong engineering ability, innovation ability and international competitiveness for emerging industries. Zhao Ming, a teacher from China Agricultural University, will introduce the teaching experience of in-depth cooperation with Baidu to improve the quality of artificial Intelligence course construction through industry-university-education cooperation.

What were some of the other unexpected highlights of this WAVE SUMMIT’s parallel forum? Tomorrow, we will continue to introduce the wonderful contents of the Forum of “Industrial Escort Gathering Force Resonance” and “Intelligent Core Ecology Win-win”. Summit countdown 3 days, looking forward to the attention and participation of developers!!
