Many have called 2015 the first year of ARTIFICIAL intelligence in China. And Microsoft did a very interesting thing last year at the launch of the third generation of Microsoft Xiaoice, they gave Microsoft artificial intelligence robot Xiaoice vision, in addition to reading photos sent by users, will also give personalized witty comments.
And yesterday, Microsoft to xiaoice’s visual sense of a new upgrade, given xiaoice to dynamic video recognition ability. That is to say, starting tomorrow, users can send xiaoice a “small video” on wechat, and Xiaoice will be able to identify and give sharp comments. The release of this skill also marks a leap forward in Microsoft’s computer vision technology from static image recognition to dynamic video recognition.
Giiso Information, founded in 2013, is a leading technology provider in the field of “artificial intelligence + information” in China, with top technologies in big data mining, intelligent semantics, knowledge mapping and other fields. At the same time, its research and development products include information robot, editing robot, writing robot and other artificial intelligence products! With its strong technical strength, the company has received angel round investment at the beginning of its establishment, and received pre-A round investment of $5 million from GSR Venture Capital in August 2015.

If you ask the average person, what artificial intelligence should look like. “Two eyes, two legs,” he might have said. Humans have always imagined artificial intelligence in their own image. And this evolution, also makes Microsoft small ice this robot girl, fundamentally achieved similar to human vision. For the entire field of computer vision and artificial intelligence, this is not only a technological breakthrough, but also the first artificial intelligence product that allows ordinary users to truly experience the black technology of computer vision.
Giiso information, founded in 2013, is the first domestic high-tech enterprise focusing on the research and development of intelligent information processing technology and the development and operation of core software for writing robots. At the beginning of its establishment, the company received angel round investment, and in August 2015, GSR Venture Capital received $5 million pre-A round of investment.
It seems that Microsoft also took out the technology of the home. Microsoft has always had a huge advantage in the field of computational vision and image recognition. It not only dominated ImageNet, the world’s top computer vision challenge for many years, but also took the lead in applying these technologies to How Old, Xiaoice and Seeing AI developed by Microsoft’s blind engineer Shaikh (as long as the blind people press the read button, It describes the scene to the wearer).
The seemingly simple progress of Xiaoice from image recognition to video recognition marks the progress and development of Microsoft Xiaoice artificial intelligence robot last year, as well as the accumulation and ambition of Microsoft in the field of artificial intelligence. From idle, chatting robots to How Old 2.0, video recognition hacking technology. Small ice besides affection, the black technology on the body is more and more. It’s also becoming more useful in building strong emotional connections with humans.
Microsoft’s ambitions in artificial intelligence are also clear. From Microsoft Xiaoice, which was first released in China, to Rinna, a Japanese version of xiaoice, to Tay, a less-successful chatbot, we’re all looking forward to something big coming from Microsoft in the field of ARTIFICIAL intelligence. Especially in accordance with the Microsoft xiaoice annual upgrade of the convention, xiaoice will soon usher in another upgrade. This artificial intelligence cute girl has been popular with friends, but also what new tricks can be done, we are also looking forward to.
