"Still chatting, still chatting, Big Boss's technical promotional video has been sent out, still chatting." As soon as five o'clock arrived, Don Juan started to patrol the venue on time.
"Points must be deducted for this. Points must be deducted. The response is not positive and there is a problem with my thinking. I don't respect the big boss at all." Mai Mang can be said to be quite enthusiastic about picking on others.
"Don't rush, don't rush, it's already in the cache. You have to board the plane." Liu Xu was also one of the makers of the rules. Travel is a thing that tests the relationship between people. He feels that this Somewhere between joking and restraint can avoid some awkward situations.
But I didn't expect that two guys would use chicken feathers as arrows and start tossing around. While caching the video, he dragged his luggage to the plane.
Baidu's promotional video is not very long. Including the opening and closing credits, it actually lasts less than three minutes.
However, the amount of information is still quite high.
A company of Baidu's size mobilized and cooperated as a whole, moved quickly, and did a good job in all aspects of details.
"The purpose of this promotional video is actually to create a sense of unknown power and arouse people's curiosity. All the more specific information and intelligence will be at the press conference on Friday afternoon." Meng Fanqi had just glanced at it, and the promotional video itself did not Nothing too much to pay attention to.
They are all a combination of pictures and videos to highlight the wide range of applications and commercial value. There are very few words, only two sentences bragging about beating the world's speed by hundreds of times, and the rest are just high-level empty keywords, and nothing can be seen.
The key point is still how the heat and discussions it generates will ferment. Meng Fanqi is still more concerned about the reviews of his technology's first implementation.
The promotional video first uses an animation effect that has basically nothing to do with the actual detection algorithm principle to show the process of computer image processing. It gives the impression to the public that after the images and videos are input, there is a series of very high-tech and complex operations. Then such a labeled result appeared.
This was followed by a classic comparison session, which took out the algorithms of competitors and the current first-class algorithms, with an emphasis on the speed of detection.
What follows are some demonstrations of the broad application scenarios of the detection results.
Baidu has merged some related scenes, mainly starting from several themes such as "smart transportation", "smart industry", "smart medical care", "smart security", etc., and displayed a large number of test results in sequence.
Finally, a close-up of Robin Li's body was shown, indicating the time and place of the technical conference. Mr. Li personally announced and explained it.
The overall pace is fast, with about 2-3 test results flashing by in one second, making it dazzling and dizzying.
"Hahaha, those who don't know would think that they have been tested and evaluated for a long time." Han Ci smiled after reading it. From the day when the code was handed over to the present, it has been less than a week. "Swish, swish, swish, hundreds of pictures from all directions flashed by. If it hadn't been for that day, I would have thought that Baidu has been working in this field for several years."
"Chinese Internet companies are really impatient in this regard." Meng Fanqi took a look and found that this part of the results display was divided into several sections. The total duration was about one minute, taking up most of the space.
As an estimate, there should be about 2-300 pictures. Taking into account the need for publicity, most of these results are the best of the best, and there are several times more pictures as material. The Baidu gang probably worked overtime this week.
"The promotional video has no special creativity, it just shows off the muscles." After watching it, Tang Juan found it boring. "First of all, I exaggerated the comparison and deliberately magnified the already poor detection speed several times. First, I focused on the speed aspect. The performance was pushed to the highest level, and some slow-speed test results will be shown later. Although I am not lying, there is also a suspicion of deliberate guidance."
"That's true. The improvement in my results this time is already exaggerated. There is absolutely no need for this." Meng Fanqi also frowned after reading it.
The version of the YOLO algorithm used more frequently in later generations is actually about a hundred times faster than the current first-class algorithm.
It originally emphasized speed at the expense of performance, but because it was proposed two years in advance by Meng Fanqi, it seemed to have a big breakthrough in performance.
In order to shock Robin Li with its speed, Meng Fanqi actually adjusted the structure and produced a lightweight version, which resulted in an improvement of about 200 times.
As a result, Robin Li followed suit and continued to make reductions in this area. He would not stop until the performance of the small version was basically the same as that of the current first-class algorithm.
This version of the algorithm will definitely not be put into use. It makes no sense to significantly sacrifice performance for such a fast FPS.
However, there is only one good thing about this, and that is to specifically compare the R-CNN detection method that is currently known for being slow.
Use one's own strengths to deal with the other's shortcomings.
Comparing speed with slowness, accuracy with fastness, classic.
"This is a thousand times for him." Meng Fanqi's scalp was numb when he saw it, and he thought to himself that Mr. Li could still boast, or he said that he didn't have the ability to start a business, and he didn't have the face.
"Fortunately, I have a meeting to attend at this time. Otherwise, if I actually arrived at the press conference and took the stage behind Mr. Li, my face would not be enough." Meng Fanqi showed an expression of relief for the rest of his life, "I would definitely show my timidity."
"When the time comes, there will be hundreds of cameras pointed at you, and you will definitely be able to do anything." Tang Juan was about to take off, and he was seizing the last moment to check his cell phone. "Look at the trending searches, there is already a hot list on scarves, 'whiteness test'. The publicity for whiteness is pretty good."
"This shows that I paid to be on the list. With just a few views and discussions, it is already in the top ten of the hot list." Huihui and Maimang are both heavy users of scarves, and they have houses on it. .
After the Internet moved from PC to mobile phone, the hot search list of scarves occupied a large market share, and later it almost became the back garden of the entertainment industry.
In addition to some major international events, news about several actors, singers and idols often dominates the list.
The quality of the answers on Zhihu during this period was pretty good. Meng Fanqi later saw answers from Jia Yangqing, Li Mu and many other big guys on Zhihu, so he focused on related issues on this platform.
However, the traffic on this platform is too small in comparison. It is estimated that Mr. Li will not like this bit of mosquito meat.
Meng Fanqi took a cursory glance and found about 2-3 related questions, with a total of less than 30 answers. Among them, the highest number of likes was only one or two hundred, and the comments were about 30 or 40.
Most of the answers are still skeptical, but since Robin Li will hold a technical conference on Friday, the overall public opinion trend is still relatively positive.
