The document discusses the development of deep learning and AI in China. It describes how deep learning has achieved success in image recognition tasks like ImageNet, leading to the growth of many Chinese AI companies. Some of the largest companies include Face++, JD AI, Alibaba, Tencent, and Sensetime. These companies are motivated to use AI to reduce costs, gain profits through applications like recommendations, and gain fame. They also collaborate extensively with academics through publications and student programs.
3. The ImageNet Challenge for Image
Recognition
• It is fundamental task for AI to recognize the images
• Whether the image is dog, cat, or car
• The Imagenet task for large scale image recognition task
• 1k labels with 1.2 Million images
4. The outbreaks of Deep Learning /Ai
• CNN has shown supremacy in Imagenet recognition task
• Surpassed the manually crafted features in image recognition
5. The Evolution of Deep Learning
• From Alexnet (8 layers) to ResNet (152 layers)
• Deeper layers will bring stronger performance
9. Solution to the visual recognition Problem
• Heated COCO challenge for Image Detection, Segmentation,
key point recognition
• These problems can be solved by the Deep CNN
18. The Chinese Tycoons in AI Industry
• Face++ (Jian Sun, Yichen Wei from MSRA)
• JD AI (Bowen Zhou from IBM Watson, Xiaodong He from MSR)
• Alibaba(Xiaofeng Ren from Amazon)
• Tencent AI & Youtu lab(Dong Yu and Zhengyou Zhang from
MSR, Jiaya Jia )
• Sensetime(Xiaoou Tang and Xiaogang Wang)
• Etc…
19. The Motivations for AI business
• To reduce the operating cost
• The chatbot can replace the human customer service
• Reduce the cost of transportation by self-driving vehicles, drones
• Even AI Programmers is under way……
20. The Motivations for AI business
• To gain more Profits with AI
• Personal ads for user
• User Recommendation system
• To attract more Venture Capital
• Sell AI Products
22. The Interactions with the Academics
• Dozens of Publication on top conferences and Journals each
year
• The Internship and Joint Ph.D Program for the students
