Chapter 896 Open Source Deep Learning Framework

"Volcano Video and Xiguan Video APP have been put on the market and are still being popularized, relying on Yahoo Cloud and Flickr to form a distinct differentiated competition. Marissa Mayer reports at a company meeting.

At present, Instagram has an advantage in the field of short image videos, because of the fierce competition with Yahoo's Flickr, so the cooperation with Yahoo is gradually distancing. Instead, it partnered with FF to dilute Yahoo's stake in Instagram after several rounds of funding. Of course, because of Zhou Shi's existence, Yahoo did not deliberately disgust Instagram.

Now that it has decided to get rid of Instagram and has drawn a line with Amazon, there is no limit to Yahoo's development in the short video industry. The three major short video platforms of Xiguan Video, Volcano Small Video, and Flickr have joined forces with Toutiao to encircle other short video platforms such as YouTube and Instagram.

"At present, Flickr mainly focuses on the young ecology of first- and second-tier cities, that is, the post-9095s, Volcano small videos are the general public, and the main user group is the post-8090s, and the goal of Xiguan Video is to have strong consumption power and long video duration...... "Mayer

Basically the same as the previous Toutiao, personalized recommendation is the core competitive advantage, differentiated development, retain their own characteristics, and then use the attraction of Toutiao to promote short videos.

Yahoo's current APP has clear priorities, but there are a lot of them, such as Yahoo Search, Yahoo News, Yahoo, Mail, Yahoo Pass, Quora, and Flickr of Toutiao. If you do a closer calculation, it doesn't seem to be 50, think about Google, Facebook, and Penguin are all three or four hundred apps, and Yahoo still has a long way to go.

"Yahoo's financial services division has achieved very good growth, and Stripe Payments, which focuses on small and medium-sized enterprises, has won praise from many companies for its advanced technology, excellent service, stability and security, and is the fastest growing among them. Of course, this does not include Yahoo Pay, which has an advantage over Yahoo Pass, which is available in 70 percent of Yahoo Pass users in the United States...... And artificial intelligence financial management, asset management, lending and credit card business ...... "Morse, Yahoo Messenger has more than 500 million global users soon, and WhatAPP has been approaching 600 million global users at this time.

Yahoo's cloud computing business includes public cloud and LinkedIn, and the public cloud finally has the spare power to develop externally, but the technical development of open source common elements has gradually moved towards the road of independent talk, which is mainly due to the mutual bargaining of various forces, and Yahoo is really unbearable. The reality of rapid development dictates that Yahoo doesn't have much time to waste on ripping off. Either let Yahoo dominate or develop independently, there is nothing to say. LinkedIn's development is expected to be one step away from exceeding 400 million users worldwide.

The development of DingTalk is also powerful, integrating cloud office, enterprise collaboration applications, integrating chat groups, large-scale tool integration, file integration, and unified search functions, becoming a gathering center for decentralized communication methods and realizing information aggregation in work scenarios. As for punching in and nailing, that's not the point.

LinkedIn with DingTalk has become a favorable weapon to promote Yahoo Cloud, or LinkedIn itself is a SAAS provider, regardless of big data, AI, cloud headhunting services, all of which are raising the ceiling of LinkedIn.

"Since the release of this year's Workforce Diversity Report, Yahoo has seen 85 percent male employees in tech jobs, excluding YELP, and 92 percent white and Asian American...... But our report format has sparked a strong response among Silicon Valley tech companies, and many companies, including rival Google, have since followed suit. "Pichai, this is a change he's made since he came to Yahoo. It may not be useful, it may be useful, who knows?

Not only concerned about the development of the enterprise, but also concerned about the impact of society, a great enterprise often takes the initiative to shoulder responsibilities other than its own obligations.

While big data and cloud computing account for most of Yahoo's attention and most of Yahoo's revenue streams, artificial intelligence is at the heart of Yahoo's unwavering DNA.

Yahoo's AI department includes software and hardware departments, mainly Yahoo Research, Yahoo Brain, Yahoo Search and MIPS AI Chip Design (MIPS Open Source Architecture Fund is a non-profit foundation independent of Yahoo, although Yahoo dominates, but Google, Microsoft, Apple, Guoke and other companies are also core members) and other hardware departments.

"The U.S. search market is basically stable, with Google accounting for 60 percent of the market, Yahoo accounting for about 30 percent of the market, and Microsoft accounting for less than 10 percent. Moreover, after the introduction of artificial intelligence technology in Yahoo's search, the accuracy has been greatly improved, and the distance between Yahoo and Google has been shortened. Although the time taken to Google search is shorter, it is difficult to feel the difference between the two sides in terms of actual experience.

However, most users believe that Yahoo, which is leading in the field of artificial intelligence, can surpass Google's search accuracy, but its response speed will be slower than Google's. There are still obvious differences between the two sides, and it is suitable for people with different needs...... "Pichai."

Made, these people are so bad, it seems that there are apps for the water army everywhere, and Yahoo search can blow it out more than Google search. Zhou Shi had to sigh at the boldness of these people, he was not denying the possibility of technological progress and surpassing Google. But can it really be so much in such a short period of time? Today's artificial intelligence can't disrupt search. Of course, Zhou Shi will only be happy when he hears this, the more miserable Google will be, otherwise how can Yahoo dominate the Internet?

"Can we open source our deep learning framework, so that more people can use our methods to train artificial intelligence, but at the same time, we don't harm our own interests?" Zhou Shi asked when he met with these technology gurus at Yahoo Research

Open source has a lot of use in Silicon Valley, and before many people doubt Zhou Shi's intentions, according to Zhou Shi's status, no one will obviously question his purpose.

"My goal is to raise Yahoo's authority in the field of artificial intelligence and indirectly improve the professionalism of Yahoo Search in the minds of the public. We can also analyze and discuss the pros and cons of open source, and if the pros outweigh the disadvantages, then open source. ”

"Where are the open sources, some or all of them?" the expert asked

"How do I know the parts that show our sincerity without revealing our core competencies. "Zhou Shi

"It's the deep learning framework we developed,......" another expert said, Zhou Shi couldn't understand, isn't there any difference between what they said and what he said? Isn't it all deep learning frameworks, mom sells criticism, these guys.

"Can you show the public the superiority of artificial intelligence in a simple, clear and straightforward way?" Zhou Shi

The "......" experts did not speak, but the eyes of several people showed: You can do it!

"It's better to develop an artificial intelligence program to play the game...... and read the latest chapter of the "Hundred Plating" Post-80s Rebirth Legend Claw Book House for free for the first time.
