Baidu said: Voice is the most natural way of communication and human-computer interaction

On November 22, the theme event of the third anniversary of Baidu's voice open platform was held in Beijing. At this conference, Baidu announced the opening of four major voice technologies-emotion synthesis, far-field program, wake-up phase II, and long voice program, providing developers with free Access entrance. Baidu Chief Scientist Wu Enda said in the keynote speech, "Voice is the most natural way for human communication and human-computer interaction. Through open voice technology, Baidu hopes to promote the wave of prosperity of voice-enabled products."

In the speech, Wu Enda explained the Baidu artificial intelligence core achievement "Baidu Brain" and its core components in detail, including speech, images, natural language processing, user portraits, and machine learning. On the third anniversary of the Baidu voice open platform, Wu Enda also publicly introduced the latest data of Baidu voice technology to the outside world: the number of registered developers reached 1.4 billion, the number of online recognition requests reached 140 million times in 2016, and the number of online speech synthesis requests reached 200 million times, once again proved the practical value of the open voice platform to developers.

In addition, Wu Enda is full of confidence in the future of artificial intelligence. He believes that the future of artificial intelligence will be reflected in all aspects, such as accompanying robots, personalized personal education, music composition, robot doctors, etc.

The following is a record of Wu Enda's speech:

Hello everyone, I am very happy that everyone is here today to participate in the third anniversary of our voice open platform.

I am Wu Enda, the project leader of "Baidu Brain". There is a very important part of the Baidu Brain project, which is to output the most advanced technology to everyone. On Baidu Brain Open Platform (ai.baidu.com), we not only output artificial intelligence technology, but also have a lot of training materials on artificial intelligence technology.

So, what is Baidu ’s brain? The core technical parts are: speech, images, natural language processing, user portraits, and machine learning platforms. I found that there are two main reasons why many people use Baidu ’s voice technology. The first reason is that Baidu has very advanced technology to provide a better experience for their users; For smart projects, you usually find that when you first start a project, you only need speech technology. After a few months, you find that you need image technology or natural language processing technology. If you are using the Baidu Brain Open Platform, you can easily select the technical parts you really need, put it in, and integrate it to achieve the best results for you. Another example is that you want to serve an intelligent customer. At first, you only need speech recognition and speech synthesis technology, but after doing it for a few months, you find that you need the most advanced natural language processing technology. If you are using the Baidu Brain Open Platform, I hope you can easily get these technologies into your products.

I personally have full confidence in the future of artificial intelligence. I hope that in the future we will have companion robots, personalized personal education, music composition, robot doctors and so on. The development of artificial intelligence technology has been very rapid in recent years, which has brought us and you many new opportunities. There is no way to explore so many very potential opportunities in Baidu, so our goal is to export our artificial intelligence technology. To everyone, I hope you can support your exploration on very potential projects, and support you to get very good results in these projects.

The theme of today's conference is voice technology. As you may already know, in many of the most important Baidu products, we already support voice input, including mobile phone Baidu, Baidu map, and Baidu input method. If you haven't tried Baidu input method yet, I hope you give it a try. I like using Baidu input method when I input information. There is also Du Mi. Recently, we put Du Mi in various hardware, such as a small robot. The Du Mi system can order food for customers, integrate Du Mi with robots, and also allow various users to have new experiences.

Over the past few years, our team has been continuously optimizing the speech recognition system. It started using the DNN model in 2012 and later has better features. Later it began to use Sequence DiscriminaTIve Training. It also began to use the LSTM model. The team developed the Deep CNN model, and the effect is constantly improving. This is our speech recognition system.

In addition, our speech synthesis model has become better and better. Over the past few years, we have made major breakthroughs in several technologies, and our speech synthesis effect has become better and better. Now Baidu's speech synthesis capabilities in China far exceed those of other companies, and our speech team leader will share more details with you this afternoon.

Because our speech technology, natural language processing technology, and our human-computer interaction technology have progressed so fast, 2016 MIT Technology Review Our technology is one of the top ten breakthrough technologies in 2016, and we feel that these technologies have great potential , Can change the efficiency and methods of human-computer interaction.

In the future, voice technology has great opportunities in many application scenarios, which will bring huge changes to human-computer interaction. For example, in the smart home scene, we hope that you can use your voice to talk to your TV, remote control, speakers, curtains after you return home. , It will understand your command, or speak to the remote control, it will be very convenient to meet your needs. In fact, smart home is just an application scenario. I think that in many application scenarios, voice technology can bring about great changes in human-computer interaction, including mobile phones, speakers, TVs and so on. Hope that voice can make you a better intelligent customer service center. In the automotive field, voice is also a very important human-computer interaction scenario. We have many partners who are using our voice technology to explore these application scenarios.

Finally, today we already know that, especially on the mobile phone, we know that voice input is faster, more convenient, and more accurate than keyboard typing. The next speaker is my good friend, who is also Professor James Landay of Stanford University. He will also share his research in this regard, that is, use Baidu ’s speech recognition system. If you use this system, enter it on the mobile phone. It can be faster, more convenient and more natural.

Voice input is so convenient, I hope that voice input will become more popular in the future. Let's think about it. If you want to communicate with me, the most natural way is to say a word to me, or I will tell you a word, so the most natural way to communicate between people is voice. Over the past few years, the technological advancement of speech and natural language processing and degree secrets has been progressing so fast. In many scenes today, the most natural method of human-computer interaction has been speech. Human-computer interaction is not just about talking to a computer or a device. Your computer and device also need to tell you their opinions, so our voice technology can also allow these devices to tell you their opinions naturally.

Finally, because artificial intelligence, especially voice technology, has developed rapidly in recent years. There are already several different artificial intelligence technologies in Baidu Brain, among which the more mature one is our speech technology. So voice technology has been given to us, to everyone, to you, to your company, and to developers a lot of new opportunities. Therefore, I hope that we can output voice technology, and hope that it can provide a very good service for everyone, and that we can use our technology to support you to explore these new opportunities. Very good results.

thank you all!
