1. Interview 丨 Zhao Jinglei: ReadSense Ltd surface technology pay more
attention to commercial, research AI company is burning money bottomless
Recently, the CEO Zhao Jinglei in the network in an interview, read surface
technology pay more attention to the commercialization of the ground, the current
products focus on instinct layer hardware vision module, including "human
perception module" and "spatial perception module". ReadSense is the commercial
road "basic module + from service".
Although the focus of speech recognition and machine vision to identify
companies behind closed doors, has not released sales data, but to determine the
health of an enterprise, sales income statements is the most intuitive.
China is not a country with a slow, Chinese hard enough, most of the investment
institutions are the pursuit of tuyere heat waves and fast growing enterprise, quit as
soon as possible, artificial intelligence is no exception. Calls in the first half of 2016,
VR is highest, the second half of the VR is investors profit interrogation, another
event occurs in the second half of the year is based on the deep learning of big data,
visual recognition, speech recognition and artificial intelligence company hyped,
needless to say, investors and the media of the patient can't more than 1 year, so
come back in the Spring Festival of 2017, all people will be painting style, "your
product profit?"

2. So, although the focus of speech recognition and visual companies behind closed
doors, has not released sales data, but to determine the health of an enterprise,
sales income statements is the most intuitive.
Shanghai jiaotong university in artificial intelligence from Dr Zhao Jinglei is trained,
he is a focus on "deep learning" commercialization, and resist the hype deep
learning technology CEO, he thinks, the AI technique is infrastructure, and industry
can be transformed into productivity, research of AI company money is a
bottomless pit.
Based on efficient management, based on consumer upgrades, visual identification
with embedded speech recognition will become a kind of infrastructure to the
details in the life and work. This is to follow the trend of development, for example,
a camera on the size, cost, function, pixels are constantly optimized, then the
camera still have space to grow up? Affirmation is some, no matter from the
hardware and software will have an iterative update, add visual identification
module, may be in a short period of time to have the function of camera price
increases, but with a mature technology, to return to a reasonable price, everyone
can consume.
Zhao Jinglei think that with the advent of the era of intelligence, people has higher
requirement for artificial intelligence.

3. Previous computer vision in industry breakthrough is mainly focused on the
algorithm of the cloud, the cloud scenarios computing resources is unlimited, can
use a large cluster to run very complicated model. Recently Alphago defeated lee
se-dol, hundreds of machines on the computing power is over a human being, in
less than a year, the technology is not worth showing off.
For a new generation of intelligent machines, such as robots, VR/AR, cameras and
other equipment with a camera, visual information processing have two typical
characteristics, one is a real-time, one is localization. To solve the problems is to
make intelligent machine eyes deep learning algorithms in the front, in an
embedded environment very real time, low energy running. ReadSense Ltd surface
technology is mainly to solve the above problems.
Zhao Jinglei machine perception of environment can be divided into three levels,
the first instinct layer, the second is the acquisition layer, the third is the
professional, instinct layer is a child from was born with a visual ability, such as
people's awareness and perception of space. Acquisition layer is the most people
rely on the constantly learning to master the day after tomorrow, such as the
recognition of text, and a variety of items. Is certain professional talents with
professional layer, such as judging patients by medical images.

4. Zhao Jinglei think visual ability is the instinct layer every consumer and civilian
camera needs to have the processing power, precipitation in the future should be
based on the front end of the visual module, plug and play. Acquisition layer visual
ability more in the future should serve public cloud precipitation. Layer and
professional ability should serve vertical visual precipitation in the future.
ReadSense Ltd. surface technology products currently focused on the hardware
visual module is the instinct layer, including "human perception module" and
"spatial perception module". Reading is the commercial road "basic module + from
service". Zhao Jinglei demand for products is plug-and-play + one-stop solution,
which means that the front vision module will do more and more light, and from
the service will do more and more heavy. At the same time, surface technology or
reading a very focus of enterprises, the current products to the market is still
spending and civilian, and no package cover all scenarios.
In the Angle of product commercialization, Zhao Jinglei think points, according to
the market can be divided into and incremental market and stock market in a
traditional camera products are fit to load visual identification module, realize the
function of intelligent ascension, such as the original family, the community of all
kinds of cameras can be upgraded to have intelligent camera of human perception,

5. this is the stock market intelligent upgrade.
Is another piece of commercialization, incremental market, all the new type of
intelligent machines need the one-stop visual identification of plug-ins, such as a
variety of camera equipment, for the present, Zhao Jinglei small statistics, the stock
market in the present single volume accounted for more than, present clients are
the IPC form camera such large enterprises as well as the traditional home
appliance, incremental market is given priority to with all kinds of middle and small
startups. He believes that in the future, the incremental market quickly.
ReadSense Ltd. the surface technology is headquartered in Shanghai, in order to
accelerate the process of commercialization, establish r&d distribution in nanjing
and Beijing, respectively, in terms of sales together, also has set up a branch in
shenzhen, is to accelerate the introduction of talent.
