Microsoft released the fifth generation of ice: on-line high-level senses fully into the IoT


NetEase smart news August 22 news, this afternoon, Microsoft held a press conference in Beijing, officially launched the fifth generation of ice, Microsoft's main EQ (EQ) chat robot to complete the state.

Add Indian and Indonesian versions to respond to your own

The fifth-generation ice robots have expanded to five countries. Following China’s Xiao Bing, Japan’s Xiao Bing, and the US’s Xiao, Microsoft officially launched Ruuh and Rinna. . Among them, Little Ice of India first landed on the Facebook Messenger platform, while Little Ice of Indonesia first landed on the LINE platform.


According to Zhou Li, chief architect of Little Ice, the Indonesian version of Xiao Bing is the first floor-to-floor version using the 1:1 Generative Model in the world. In layman's terms, Xiao Bing can be completely independent of human data and can respond spontaneously.

It is reported that Microsoft’s global ice product line’s implementation strategy is to prioritize countries with a population of more than 100 million. A fully localized team is established in the local area. Initial training data is also completely obtained from the local area, thus ensuring that Xiao Bing is rooted in the country. local culture. In other words, although the type of language used by Little Ice of India is the same as that of Xiao Bing of the United States, the character, language, culture, and knowledge system of Xiao Bing of India is completely different from that of Xiao Bing of the United States.

According to reports, Xiao Bing currently has a single connection with human records of dialogue, the United States has reached 23 hours, and China's record is 29 hours.

On-line high-level sense, with full-duplex voice and real-time streaming media vision

According to reports, Microsoft's fifth-generation Xiao Bing has already possessed high-level senses. Through sensory fusion, "independence" chooses to use the senses. Advanced senses are formed by the integration of a variety of primary senses, with full-duplex speech, and real-time streaming visuals.

Xiao Bing real-time streaming media visual display

On Xiao Bing, a typical application case of full-duplex voice is Xiao Bing's phone exchange with humans. This high-level sense requires the ability to have both text and speech (including SR and TTS) capabilities, both of which require higher levels of both capabilities. The quality standard. Microsoft announced at the press conference that the fifth-generation Xiao Bing will unlock AI phone appointments on September 6th. Xiao Bing can actively call people according to his understanding and support the direct dialing of the three major operators outside of the Internet phone. Make phone call.



According to the presentation of Microsoft’s Xiao Bing Director Li Di, Microsoft has divided the evolution of artificial intelligence interactive technology products into three phases. The first stage is the basic artificial intelligence interaction, that is, having one or more interaction modes, such as text, voice, image, video, etc., but different interaction modes are separated. The second stage is the initial sense, which is to use a core engine (such as Xiao Bing's EQ core dialogue engine) in the artificial intelligence system to unify the above interactions so that different senses can be mixed. Xiao Bing entered this stage from the third generation of 2015. The fifth generation of ice is officially entering the third stage of high-level sensory stage.

Into the IoT field, Xiao Bing began to control home appliances

Microsoft believes that IoT (Internet of Things) should be a vehicle for AI, not the other way around, and consider AI as a function of IoT. Peng Shuang, Product Director of Xiao Bing, believes that the biggest problems in the field of IoT are functional building, excessive emphasis on interaction, and excessive SDK/API. “IoT devices that are truly popular have only two possibilities for success. One is to maximize IQ and allow users to experience more convenient and efficient benefits over other existing methods through IoT devices; the other is to maximize EQ. , so that people can strongly recognize her presence in this device, and even accept her to become a member of the family, emotional bond, can not give up her.” Peng Shuang said that Microsoft's IoT Xiao Bing program belongs to the latter.

At the press conference, Microsoft announced that Xiao Bing has organically integrated with Xiaomi's IoT open platform. Xiao Bing can control all 35 smart devices on Xiaomi's home platform and supports full-duplex voice. The product is currently on the Xiaomi Mi platform. In addition, Microsoft is also working with many other IoT vendors to put Microsoft Ice into the device. Microsoft also announced ongoing joint research and development with partners such as Yeelight and Oriental Pearl. In addition, real-time streaming media senses have also landed in public areas in some major cities in China and Japan.

Artificial Intelligence Creates a Full Spread, Xiao Bing Radio, Zhizhi Media Platform 3.0 Released

At the press conference, Microsoft disclosed that Xiao Bing has now entered a number of creative areas to test the water. These areas include poetry writing, children's books, songwriting, and news writing.

In May of this year, Microsoft announced that Xiao Bing had published poetry in various poetry forums and publications with multiple aliases, and published the first collection of artificial intelligence poems, “The Lost Sunlight”. Since then, Microsoft officially launched a poetry co-creation product. Anybody can use Xiao Bing to complete his poetry creation.

In terms of sounding children's books, Microsoft claims that its quality exceeds 98% of the human creators. After testing and converting children's books into audio books, Xiao Bing is only 1/500 of the same level of humanity, and costs only the same level of humanity. 1/80000. Microsoft announced that it will start mass production of audio books and market it today.

In terms of songs, Xiao Bing’s latest training has reached a sampling rate of 48 kHz, while at the same time greatly expanding the vocal range, it is constantly approaching human singers. "I'm Xiao Bing," the song of the same name has recently started in QQ Xiaobing Channel.

In addition, Xiao Bing also creates visual works related to the mood of the city and the song by listening to and analyzing the melody of the song and combining the learning of different city landmarks. Through this technology, the “skyline” apparel that Microsoft and SELECTED launched enter the SELECTED store for sales.

In news writing, Microsoft launched Smart Media Business Platform Solution 3.0, including six new modules: media productivity, media knowledge maps, smart interaction, and full platform interaction. Previously, Xiao Bing, as a columnist for the “Qianjiang Evening News”, wrote a column on big data and successfully predicted the results of several major global events. This time, Microsoft disclosed that some of the online news content was written by Xiao Bing. In the past year, Xiao Bing’s intellectual media writing has gradually evolved from WeChat and Weibo to platform access and nearly 11 end media, and “Look at News”, “Cover” and “Qianjiang Evening News”. , "Spring City Evening News" and other media have conducted in-depth integration.

Microsoft also released Xiaobing Radio, a general-purpose artificial intelligence real-time content creation and interaction platform. It can be based on multiple sources, face any topic, and automatically create uninterrupted radio programs. At the same time, it can also change the program content in real time during the interaction. In other words, the quality of the Little Ice station is similar to that of the host of the radio station, but it can even change the content of the ongoing live program according to the interaction with the user in real time. At present, Xiao Bing has landed on three domestic radio stations, namely Beijing Youth Radio, Hunan Radio Music, and HitFM.

Xiao Bing became one of Microsoft's three AI product lines and began to integrate with Bing


Shen Xiangyang, executive vice president of Microsoft Global, also contributed to this conference. He said that Microsoft Xiao Bing has become one of Microsoft's three artificial intelligence product lines (the other two are infuse AI, Bing and Xiaona).

Shen Xiangyang said that every change in the era of science and technology will subvert a lot of things and are redefining the relationship between mankind and the world. "The PC era has a PC operating system and application software; the Internet age has browsers and search engines; the mobile Internet has social networks and AppStores." Shen Xiangyang believes that in the next era of AI, IQ and EQ (IQ and EQ) are The most important thing.

Li Xiao, head of Microsoft Xiaobing, believes that the real EQ (Emotional Intelligence) is rational and not emotional. Microsoft's R&D on EQ is to hope that Xiao Bing will take the initiative in the chat process. The real EQ shows control and emotion is just a representation.

Shen Xiangyang introduced that Microsoft Bing International has been on-line and the Zo-Bing search engine provides users with EQ search. In addition, Microsoft Xiao Bing and Bing search engine accelerated integration. Through the Bing search engine's global big data capability, the new solution can build a media knowledge map based on global news data sources for the media, so that the knowledge and meaning behind each content in the global information can be accurately discovered and constructed. The relationship between each other helps the media to sort out the story behind time and content more comprehensively and quickly. (Small 羿)
