Chapter 85: First Appearance

The venue for the IMAGENET-2013 competition was not very large, and it was already a great deal to sit down to one or two hundred people.

Meng Fanqi and Han Ci, as the speakers who needed to go on stage, were arranged to sit in the first row, and Don Juan's name was in the team, so Zhanguang also sat in the front, and the rest of the people had to line up in the back, not even a seat, because there were too many people.

The organizers did not expect that the number of visitors would far exceed expectations, so even if several rows of seats were added, there was no way, and those who came late could only stand.

Meng Fanqi looked back and found that the other three were standing at the back, all smiling and waving at him.

In the past few days when Meng Fanqi was busy negotiating with Google and studying the contract, several of them walked around the venue of the International Computer Vision Conference.

After all, the conference tickets alone cost hundreds of dollars, and they couldn't be wasted, and after a turn, several people also felt deeply.

It turns out that there are so many universities, companies or institutions that have started research in the field of AI, and there are so many directions and types.

And these scholars and industry leaders are crowded today, and what they want to watch when they stand in this room is the technical speech of their classmates.

Although it has nothing to do with themselves in the end, the four of them are more or less happy.

Meng Fanqi glanced over and still saw many familiar faces, including Li Feifei, a well-known professor who had become famous and hosted the event.

There are also future bulls like Jia Yangqing who are still studying and participating in competitions, and are still unknown.

Everyone is looking forward to today's technological demonstration, what kind of magic can make thousands of images on thousands of images surpass the human level.

But now Meng Fanqi's main focus is no longer on today's display.

Just a few months ago, he went to great lengths to win the tournament and gain the world's attention. But at this time, he has already signed contracts with both tech giants, and he no longer takes this event seriously.

Maybe that's why the likes of Hinton and Alix didn't compete this year, although before they became famous, they relied heavily on such platforms and opportunities.

But when you have a real career, such a game is a bit irrelevant.

Only Han Ci beside her was still nervous, and there was a room of scholars and professors waiting to hear her thoughts.

Meng Fanqi's outstanding results make the results and algorithms of other teams in this event not worth mentioning, and no one cares about them anymore.

This somewhat frustrated the other contestants who had been working hard for months.

But compared to the anticipation and curiosity about the new algorithm, this little emotion is nothing.

It may also be clear that after Meng Fanqi introduces his algorithm, the speeches of other teams may not be cared for.

The organizers deliberately put his order last.

Otherwise, if the first one asks him to go up, half of the room will be gone after the speech, or if he grabs Meng Fanqi to discuss it when others speak later, it will be a little embarrassing.

The content of the speeches of everyone on the stage is nothing more than a reproduction of Alix's algorithm last year, with a little bit of their own small changes.

Violently piling together various demonically modified models, there are not too many new ideas in it.

Glancing at Alix himself beside him, Meng Fanqi said in his heart, now even Alix has to ask me for network structure design.

Meng Fanqi did not continue to pay attention to the display of these teams, but looked at the computer to check Google's financial report.

If you want to siphon off the most money from Google, you must have a good understanding of Google's advertising revenue structure and specific situation, where its money comes from, what is the proportion, and what can be done by itself.

Although he knows some of Google's classic recommendation and advertising algorithms, Meng Fanqi has never read Google's financial reports himself, and has a very general understanding of Google's revenue structure.

It is only known that search and advertising revenue account for 8% of Google's total revenue.

According to the financial reports of the past few years, Google deserves to be the world's number one advertiser.

It accounts for about 30 percent of all advertising revenue in the world.

As a comparison, Meng Fanqi roughly understands that around 2020, the advertising share of the entire Ahri system will account for about 8-9%.

That is to say, a Google can basically top the advertising market share of the four Ahri series.

And of all Google's search and ad revenue, search accounts for the absolute majority, about 70 percent.

In fact, Google also does PPC, which is the same as whiteness.

It's just that Google's approach is more diverse and more subtle, and advertisers can choose different bidding strategies.

Google allows, and has the technical prowes, to carry out fairly precise advertising and search result delivery.

Be specific to your geographic location, common language, personal interests, and more.

Therefore, his advertising is far more hidden than whiteness, and is less shoehorned into you, although there is no difference in nature in nature.

"In other words, my first task is to complete the optimization of the search recommendation algorithm, and the second is the advertising strategy."

As for YouTube videos, they only account for one-tenth of the total advertising revenue. Meng Fanqi frowned slightly when he saw this.

As the world's largest video site, YouTube's advertising revenue is much lower than that of search.

"It seems that I still underestimate the power of text messages." Meng Fanqi thought about it carefully, and at this stage, Google lacks the ability to recognize the information in the video.

Therefore, the preferences of video users are far less good and accurate than the preferences of web users.

"I need to focus on this direction." Search is Google's trump card revenue direction, and its own harvest is divided according to the additional revenue of the increase.

Although the revenue from search accounts for seven times that of video, this part has nothing to do with his commission, he can only take the part of the revenue that is optimized additionally.

Meng Fanqi believes that the space for video advertising here may not be smaller than search, and it is the visual field that he is best at, but pure advertising can be ranked last.

was immersed in research, and before he knew it, it was already his turn to show on stage.

The uninformed people in the back thought that the magical Meng was still actively studying until the venue, and kept staring down at the computer to study technology, no wonder he could produce so many such great results.

Only Jeff, who was sitting next to him, could see clearly that this kid was simply studying which technology could divide the money more.

Looking at the financial report selection technology, I saw it for the first time in my life.

"Okay, I think everyone can't wait, we all know who is the real reason for the crowding of people today!" After the last team went down, the host came up and said with a smile, "Let's welcome a new star in the visual field, Meng!" Tell us about his breakthrough in image recognition! ”
