Chapter 154 War of Words

He nodded to Old Man Yu with a dark face, and then glanced at everyone again and said:

"I will ask you a core question first!"

He leaned forward with his arms on the table, looking straight at Cao Shen:

"You are developing various technologies very quickly.

Although you acquired TT Technology, many of your technologies are not the original reserves of TT Technology.

How did you come up with them?"

From the recognition and search of the system, this person comes from the science and technology sector and has several scientific research institutes under his control.

The cloud computing, NLP, image recognition, and search that Cao Shen is working on are obviously also technologies that the country needs to reserve.

Although his face is not friendly and his tone is relatively aggressive, it can be basically judged that he is only interested in the technology itself.

Maybe this is a characteristic of men majoring in science and engineering, otherwise they wouldn't be in a "clean office"...

"I'll introduce it to you according to the timeline. First, we made a photo taking software called Smile.

As you all know, this software was launched on July 3 last year, and by July 30 we already had 240 million users.

At this point in time, we actually already have a large amount of face data as a basis for running our face recognition algorithm."

The black-faced man slapped the table:

"So that's it!

You have a lot of data for algorithm training!

And your photo taking application was originally all faces, and the image library used for recognition is of high quality and can be easily cross-compared! This method is good, wonderful!"

The image recognition of their institute is all captured from the Internet. After recognition, there is no way to make targeted comparisons to optimize the algorithm, so it must be slower than Cao Shen.

So, this commercialization and marketization still have a great role in promoting research!

And, after all, it is a scientific research institution, not a management department, and it can't get ID card photos from key departments.

Unlike Cao Shen, who used the system to "insert eyes", of course, such things must not be said.

The black-faced man leaned forward: "What about cloud computing? You did it too fast!"

"To be precise, we did cloud computing earlier than Wei Xiao Yi Xiao.

At the beginning, I don't know if you still remember that the first product of Tongcao Technology was an instant messaging module."

The black-faced man nodded: "I know! The one you open sourced!"

"Yes! Because it is open source, many people use it.

I originally wanted to provide a one-stop service and make some money by hosting for everyone.

But later, because there were too many people using it, the data could not be processed, and the cost was rising.

At that time, our Tongcao Technology was still a small company, and the high cost meant that we lost money for hosting.

So, in order to survive, we had to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

At that time, we invested a lot of work in the research and development of cloud computing. It can be said that we were forced."

The black-faced man nodded in agreement: "Indeed, technology still needs to be trained with a lot of applications and have a sense of urgency."

He had some understanding of this.

Of course, there is a sense of urgency in the research institute, but it comes more from the mission rather than being driven by survival.

In addition, in terms of data volume and data interaction methods, they use more test data rather than honing in actual, complex scenarios. That means they can't compare with others!

"What about the NLP engine?" The black-faced man asked more urgently. This is a key direction of their research institute, but the finished product is far inferior to the products of the department's deep technology.

They have been doing this for more than two years!

"We actually worked on the NLP engine very early. We started researching it not long after the instant messaging module was launched.

Later, we launched Youxin. Every day, a large number of users send messages through Youxin, so we have a huge data source that can be used for machine learning.

In addition, Youxin has the function of sending voice messages, which also allowed us to deploy voice recognition early.

Later, we launched the video conferencing system, and in fact, a lot of technology is also based on our voice recognition and NLP.

In poor network environments, it is easy to lose packets, but our voice recognition and NLP can roughly understand and predict the user's language logic and compensate for incomplete information.

Of course, the video part is actually also due to our image recognition, which has done a lot of compensation work.

It can be said that our video The video conference system was developed by relying on all our previous technical accumulation.

At the same time, because many video conference systems are conference scenes, they are also a good supplement to our voice and NLP databases, forming more professional, commercial and vertical industry feature libraries.

As for search, it is actually based on our previous technology, and it can be developed by taking one or two steps forward.

So, in fact, all our products and technologies did not emerge all at once, but were accumulated layer by layer over a long period of time.

The outside world thinks that our technology is very fast, but in fact it is because our foundation is relatively solid.

Just like a big tree, it is easy to generate a large number of branches if we have a basic trunk. "

The black-faced man moved back and leaned back on the chair, nodding thoughtfully.

The various research institutes under his command are actually like discrete points.

Although there are cooperation between each other, they are not like Cao Shen's side, which are deeply coupled and highly coordinated.

As he said, Xishen Technology and Tongcao Technology have trunks.

This idea is very good. He will study it carefully when he returns home to see if he can learn from this research and development method!

And marketization is very important, it must be driven by demand and grow by solving practical problems.

This point must also be studied to promote the marketization of various scientific research institutes!

Seeing the black-faced man nodding, Cao Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and passed the test...

From the first day he used the system's "product", Cao Shen had been thinking about how to rationalize everything, and it really came in handy one day!

Seeing that the black-faced man was satisfied, Old Yu said:

"Let me raise a technological development issue that the country is concerned about.

Xiao Cao, your current cloud computing technology is very good! It is the future development direction of our country.

Your product is open source, which is of positive significance to the promotion of technology and the cultivation of talents.

However, this also means that it is available to everyone.

Cloud computing is a technology at a national strategic level, and we still hope that our country can maintain its advancement in this aspect. "

Laoyu is very reserved when he speaks, but underneath the implicitness is just demands.

Cao Shen nodded and said:

“What the leader said is very reasonable. When I first started, I just hoped that more talents could invest in the cloud computing industry and promote the development of technology.

But as time goes by, I also feel that the technological advancement of Dongguo should be maintained.

Didn’t we have a ‘wall’ before? Domestic access to foreign networks was restricted. Or should this wall be reversed?

In addition, so far, everyone who has used the Tongtao open source cloud architecture has a real-name registered account.

Can I hand over the publishing rights of this registration quota to the state, so that only those certified by you are eligible to use it? "

In fact, the "wall" of Dongguo is originally bilateral. If foreigners want to visit, they also have to "climb the wall".

Judging from the real-name authentication of Open Source Cloud, there are very few overseas accounts.

Cao Shen handed over the registration rights to the state as a gesture.

When talking to the above, posture is very important.

"Okay! Thank you Mr. Cao for your contribution to the country!

I will make arrangements later and we can implement this matter together! "

Old Man Yu was very happy about Cao Shen's success. He originally thought that it would take some effort or pressure to get results. After all, those old fritters in the past were very good at playing turn-based games.

Unexpectedly, this young man has a high level of political awareness.

very good! Worth cultivating!

Although young people are a little more temperamental, they are like a blank sheet of paper, which is easy to describe.

Unlike those old Jianghu, who are very good at Tai Chi, have many thoughts and various methods!

We should vigorously cultivate young people like Cao Shen. This is the hope of the country!

"Tongfubao currently has a large number of users, and this payment involves national financial security issues." The person who spoke was a round-faced lady.

Identification and search from the system, she is in charge of the financial port.

"Yes, so I have a proposal!" Cao Shen smiled at the round-faced lady.

Hey, this guy doesn't look like a technician at all.

The round-faced lady smiled back, and she became much kinder.

"Most of Tongfubao's data is personal consumption data. I want to contribute this data to the country so that the country can build a 'personal credit' system.

Of course, if we want to build a 'personal credit reporting' system, Tongfubao's data is obviously not comprehensive enough, so we can only do a little bit. "

This is one of Cao Shen's speaking strategies.

Everyone is staring at the huge amount of data in Tongfubao, and it involves high financial sensitivity.

Cao Shen must "reduce the dimensionality" of this thing.

Personal credit data obviously does not only cover the consumption data of Tongfubao.

It also includes address, workplace, credit records, such as car loans, housing loans, student loans, credit loans, and even guarantees for other people, credit card information, credit repayment records, and public records, including tax arrears, civil judgment records, and compulsory Execution records, telecommunications arrears, etc.

Compared with this data, Cao Shentong's Fu Bao is not enough, and its sensitivity has also been reduced.

Moreover, it is not Deep Technology that is engaged in third-party payment. Taobao Pay and Yifubao are much more radical than us.

You all go and see it and ask for the data!

If you want to get on the boat, let’s all come together!

The round-faced lady turned out to be more kind as expected, nodding her head and saying:

“Personal credit data, this proposal is very good.

In the past, the penetration of the Internet was not so high. Now that all walks of life are engaged in Internet+, it will naturally bring more offline data online.

In addition, the mobile Internet is closer to individual users and can also generate richer data.

With personal credit data, it will also greatly facilitate overall planning and management.

It can also make our entire financial system more sound and secure.

good! This data is very good!

As an Internet company, Mr. Cao can cooperate with us to open data interfaces, which will be a precedent for the entire Internet industry, and our work will be smooth in the future.

Thank you Mr. Cao for your cooperation and example. I will arrange dedicated personnel to contact you in the future. "

Cao Shen showed an innocent smile:

"It should!

The purpose of our department is to bring more data online and better serve the people of Dongguo.

I will definitely arrange a special team to implement and handle your needs! "

Interface, you can read my data, I can also read your data if I send the system over, mutual benefit! Mutual benefit!

The round-faced lady nodded and smiled at Cao Shen in approval, and whispered to the assistant beside her, asking for Mr. Cao's friend letter in a while, so that it would be convenient to discuss the product solutions and technical planning of personal credit in the future.

"Ahem!" A middle-aged and elderly man with a pale Mediterranean face cleared his throat.

When he saw the information returned by the system, oh, this is from the news media.

"Cao Shen, your search engine can find information that was not found before.

This has indeed broadened the horizons of the people, but there are also some bad voices."

That is, negative things have been discovered, causing some social repercussions.

Cao Shen knew this and had predicted it, but because he had worked hard to cultivate the "blacklist", the problem was not that serious.

"Ah? This question...

In fact, our search engine is still being improved. After all, some things that rely entirely on machine understanding and returning data are not completely controllable.

This itself requires a lot of data debugging and algorithm correction.

And there are indeed some things that need manual correction. Our search department is working overtime to come up with a plan.

But you also know that the boundaries of some things are very vague, so compared to purely technical things, this takes more time and energy, which is beyond my expectation."

Cao Shen sighed helplessly and shook his head:

"I regret it now. I spent a lot of manpower and material resources to correct it. If we It might be easier to get results if you spend this money on research on other technologies.

After all, Xishen Technology is better at technology than manual work. ”

As soon as Cao Shen finished speaking, the black-faced man waved his hand and said:

"What are you regretting! Your search engine is very well made, especially the knowledge graph, which has a high use value.

Many of our researchers are full of praise for it!

I want to know, is this the best situation for your NLP and search?"

He glanced at the Mediterranean and said: "Or did you actually make some restrictions for some sensitive things?"

Sure enough, the person in charge of technology asked the key point.

But how could Cao Shen talk about his "blacklist"? If it was exposed, wouldn't these people know that they "knew too much"!

Cao Shen shook his head:

"We haven't been doing this for a long time, and this is the best we can do now.

But I think it can be optimized in the future, but frankly, you know that every increase in the accuracy of this optimization requires a huge amount of work.

As a listed company, Xishen Technology still needs to explain to its shareholders from a commercial perspective.

For the time being, it may be difficult for us to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to obtain a seemingly low input-output ratio.

After all, as a search engine, it has achieved a certain degree of practicality.

So, I also hope that this technology can cooperate with the country."

The dark-faced man heard this and his eyes sparkled: "How do you want to cooperate!"
