It's also true, Meng Fanqi suddenly realized.

The cost of dataset collection and annotation for detection tasks is higher, which is why Meng Fanqi won the championship with more than 10 million classified pictures and only tens of thousands of detection pictures.

At present, all of this content is manually annotated.

A classified image only needs to be marked with a tag, what it is.

To mark a detection image, it is often necessary to add several, or even a dozen detection frames, to the specific outline, and then add categories.

The cost of labeling is naturally more than ten times the difference.

The tools for adding marquees and tags to images are also imperfect, making them cumbersome and slow.

Up to now, the detection algorithm based on deep neural networks has shown any practical business value, which is still in the laboratory research stage, and has not actually received enough attention from these large companies.

At present, the detection algorithms used in commercial use are still mainly traditional technologies, and do not require training data, but extract features through artificially designed filters.

There are tens of thousands of public VOC detection data used in Meng Fanqi's demonstration, compared with the number of model parameters that will often be hundreds of billions in the future, and the amount of data of several T's, this scale is a bit like a trick.

At this moment, as far as Baidu is concerned, Robin Li, a deep learning research institute, has only privately accumulated less than ten times the amount of private data, which is about two or three hundred thousand.

For Baidu, based on this cost, if you want to directly provide AI intelligence that everyone can use like ChatGPT later, there is still a gap of 108,000 miles.

"Robin Li's intention to open this technology conference is actually to reach out and ask for data." Meng Fanqi figured it out after a little thought, "By showing this magical effect, it will tempt manufacturers that need industrial testing, institutions that need medical image testing, and car companies that want to develop autonomous driving." ”

"You give me the data, and I'll do it for you."

Robin Li wants to take advantage of this technical advantage to harvest a large wave of free data!

This little abacus is too fine. Meng Fanqi said in his heart.

At this time, the value of this kind of picture data has not been widely understood, and with the help of a leap in detection technology, these pictures are harvested like leeks in whiteness.

After a while, it won't be so easy to make money in vain.

"Mr. Li, if you hold a technical conference, can you also publicize me, the original author, and advertise me?" Meng Fanqi said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

If Robin Li held a technical conference to introduce his YOLO detection algorithm, it is conceivable that its attention is still very high.

It is said that in the era of traffic, it is a piece of that can play the hero and heroine with traffic.

If Robin Li truthfully told his credit at the press conference, he would not need to add oil and vinegar.

Its social influence is far stronger than posting several top meetings by itself.

You don't see, how much "Nature" and "Science" have been published by AI technology. The attention is not as good as that of Alpha Dog to defeat Lee Sedol and Ke Jie.

Ordinary people don't pay attention to that.

"Absolutely." Robin Li readily agreed, "This technology itself is your independent research and development, whether you are willing to be anonymous or willing to come to the stage, I welcome support." ”

"However, if I want to introduce you, I personally have a small request, I want to be able to call you 'special researcher of the Whiteness AI Research Institute', do you think it's okay?"

Sure enough, he wants Li Yanhong to promote himself, and he still has his own ideas about this kind of thing. "Although you turned down my offer and didn't join Baidu, our relationship is still very close. Regarding this technology, it also involves the distribution of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. ”

"At the technology conference, it is very helpful to promote your identity as a special research institute of our research institute, which is very helpful for the growth of this technology." Li Yanhong spoke eloquently and said that Meng Fanqi was stunned.

"Customers know that the creator of the technology is our researcher, which is very secure, and they will be more confident in whiteness, and their willingness to cooperate will be stronger and more stable."

Li Yanhong said it well, but Meng Fanqi knew that he also wanted to use his current reputation and momentum in the academic world.

Nowadays, there is a general consensus in the AI academic community that the most outstanding AI technological breakthrough in 2013 is Meng Fanqi's residual network and generative adversarial network.

At this node, Baidu advertised himself as a special researcher of Baidu, and jointly released the third AI technology breakthrough of the same level.

It's hard not to associate the first two outstanding works with whiteness.

After all, in just a few months, all three jobs were produced at the same time.

Either how to say that he is the richest man in China, this brain and careful thinking is flexible.

"Okay, no problem." Since the contact, Robin Li has been quite sincere and frank with himself, although he can guess that he has moved some other thoughts. However, in terms of the content of the contract, Robin Li was not stingy at all, and basically agreed on the largest proportion agreed before.

Since the other party appreciates his face, Meng Fanqi is not good at disappointment. When the time comes, Robin Li will personally stand in front of the PPT to blow himself and promote himself.

This small request should be regarded as the advertising fee paid to Mr. Li!

The content is finalized, the contract is in duplicate, and the seal is signed. This is the end of the matter.

Compared with the battle in which Li Yanhong usually signed a contract, this time it seems quite sloppy.

However, Yu Kai and Wang Haifeng, who were onlookers, were very clear that the number and scale of industries to be involved in this technical cooperation would reach a rather exaggerated level.

Gradually, some of the whiteness that was thrown off by the Ahri penguin, and if you want to fight a beautiful turnaround, you are counting on artificial intelligence to be the third industrial revolution.

After signing the contract, Robin Li and the two executives have other matters, and the handover and explanation of the specific code will be connected by several senior researchers from the research institute.

Although Robin Li continues to pay attention to technology, after all, he rarely looks at the code and writes it in person.

Mainly grasp a general direction, the details and actual operation are still handed over to the workers below.

At this moment, Wang Kai, a senior researcher at Baidu who is responsible for receiving the code and needs to understand the basic content, is pacing at the door with some trepidation, both excited and worried.

The contract was successfully signed, and he needed to be responsible for understanding all the code and technical details, and introduce them to the whole research institute after the handover.

In the face of such a terrifying performance improvement, Wang Kai was not confident in his strength. Can I really understand such an exaggerated speed, such a genius idea?

But at the same time, I'm excited that he'll be one of the first people to really get their hands on the core of the technology.

Thinking like this, the three high-level executives of Baidu had already left, and Meng Fanqi packed up the documents inside and walked out.

"Brother! It's too diao! Wang Kai got straight to the point, he had read the paper on the production confrontation network three or four times, and he was amazed and admired in his heart.

Now that I have seen such an amazing breakthrough in the detection algorithm, the thousand words in my heart have only turned into three words.
