"Su Pang's technical route is actually like this: he promoted the "artificial intelligence recognition video content and push it according to user preferences" mentioned in PPT, but it was not done at all.

Jack, I don’t know if you noticed it—why do videos on Kuaishou have so many words on the homepage? For example, this ‘Teaching you how to tie a bun’, or that ‘The braces are so beautiful’, ‘Too Mu Man’. From an aesthetic point of view, don’t you think it’s ugly to type so many words on short videos?”

Feng Jianxiong talked and induced him, striving to let Jack Ma discover it himself.

"Yes, why, it's ugly." Jackma said as expected.

Feng Jianxiong smiled slightly: "Because in fact, Su Pang, like Zhang Yiming, only knows the title and text description of the video. His artificial intelligence cannot recognize the story content of the video image. He just relied on reading the text and thought that the video was talking about, so he recommended it to other users who "had like to read similar text titles or descriptions."

So, the truth about Su Pang is just following Zhang Yiming's technical route and then pretending to be able to push videos intelligently. At present, there is no artificial intelligence on earth that can understand the story of videos. It is impossible for at least four years."

"So that's the case... Indeed, Google is the strongest in the world's image recognition field, followed by our Ali system. I said how they let machines understand video content."

This sentence was not what Jack Ma said, but was flattered by Lao Zeng to remedy it.

He seemed to have forgotten that, not long ago, he swears that "Su Pang can do it, so you, Feng Jianxiong, are not worthy of having to pay a high price."

However, no one cares about these words.

Jack Ma is not stupid either. He knows that his subordinates are bargaining for him.

No boss will punish a subordinate who lies to help him bargain.

Feng Jianxiong is also a top talent, so he smiled and did not pursue the enemy.

He also gave Tianzao a blowjob and said, "Lao Zeng finally figured it out - Lao Ma, you just thought about it. Is Google doing a good job in image content recognition because they want to use an intelligent image search engine?

The reason why you Ali is so devoted is that you want women to take photos at offline clothing stores and then go to Taobao to find the same style.

At present, there are not many channels for commercial monetization of these technologies. So only you and Google spend money like this. Even you have not even made the results of your roots yet. Su Pang’s little body can do nothing. Scientific research is real money, not a playful house.”

This flattery is very exquisite. The key is that it is meaningful and makes Jack Horse feel very happy.

After all, Feng Jianxiong praised his strategic vision.

For a king of tyrants, ordinary flattery cannot be listened to.

But if someone can prove his wise and decisive strategic decisions from the perspective of high-tech development trends, he will be so happy that his pores are transparent.

Unfortunately, people in the world no longer have such eloquence and sharp vision.

"Well... it seems to be reasonable." Jack Ma pondered for a few breaths, and then thought of another question, "Xiao Feng, how are you going to solve the problem of 'the current artificial intelligence still can't understand videos'? If you don't have a unique secret, it's just that Su Pang can't do it, and you can't do it either."

"I can't do it now, but I can do it in two or three years, and make sure it's at least one to two years faster than them." Feng Jianxiong Jizhu said in his arms.

"Then describe your technical blueprint." Jack Ma asked unscrupulously.

Feng Jianxiong was not polite either: "Yes, but can they avoid it first? My plan is not solved by technical means. It is because of insufficient technology and business and operations. Therefore, it involves a lot of creativity that is easy to be 'referred to'. I must ensure my own business secrets."

When Jack Ma heard this, he gave Lao Zeng and Cai Chongxin a color and asked them to go out for a cocktail first.

Cai Chongxin and Lao Zeng looked at each other and took the people away without saying a word.

Feng Jianxiong smiled slightly: "Actually, my approach is simple to put it bluntly - as far as I know, the expected deadline of Google's "intelligent video understanding" project is currently underway, and it takes 5 years to overcome all technical difficulties.

However, these five years have not been "traveling a hundred miles apart" but have been conquered according to technical stages. The ultimate goal they want to achieve is to "use artificial intelligence algorithms to identify which frames of pictures in a video determine the tone of the whole article and the "main content/central idea" of the story theme.

Then, through intensive reading, identify how many characters, what actions, and what stories happened on the picture of these frames. Finally, it was concluded that 'this video is basically talking about what kind of story'."

When Feng Jianxiong said this, he paused for a moment. He also observed Jack Ma's acceptance and explained several points in a simple way.

If his theory is expressed in terms, it may be more obscure.

However, to give an example that elementary school students understand, and compare it horizontally, it becomes popular - Google scientists are actually a bit like a teacher teaching primary school students Chinese classes when training "deep learning" artificial intelligence and understanding human language, text/image information.

I believe that all primary school students remember that during Chinese class, the teacher would ask you endlessly: What is the main content of this text? What is the central idea? What is the clue?

Many primary school students must have had ten thousand alpacas rushing by in their hearts: Damn! I know what this text says, so just understand it? What a nonsense "main content" and "central thought"! If you answer the exam wrongly, you will lose points!

But don’t say that when training robots to learn Chinese, they really have to strictly summarize the "main content" and "central thought" step by step. Many humans think that the steps that can be avoided by instinct or omitted are not allowed by machines.

Jackma quickly understood and signaled him to continue: "So, what?"

Feng Jianxiong continued to explain: "Since we know Google's technical route, we can infer that before achieving the ultimate goal, Google needs to solve the problem of "understanding the story in a picture", and then consider "how to select the frames in a video that best reflects the central idea."

So, how far is Google far from the step of "understanding the story in a picture"? I think it's about three years - Google can now identify whether there is a face in the picture, but it has not yet been able to identify who the person is, and whether it is the same as the person in another photo.

Google can also identify ‘is there a cat in the picture’, but it cannot identify ‘is this cat and the cat just now’. And about three years later, these are not problems. Google can do ‘from identifying a cat in the picture’ to ‘recognizing what story is being told in this frame’.

If we keep up with Google's pace and combine the Ali system image recognition research and development, even if we leave a year's remaining margin, we can also develop a commercial technology that "lets machines understand one frame" in 2016. Of course, in-depth cooperation with the Ali system image recognition team will definitely require subsequent investment.

For me, as long as I can ‘identify one frame’, I can ‘broadly understand the whole story’, so that I can temporarily circumvent the problems that Google needs to solve with pure technical means and use operational means.”

If the technology is not enough, the operation will be supplemented.

Feng Jianxiong used this trick many times and tried it.

"How to make up for it?" Jack Ma's tone was already a little anxious. He felt that he was completely impressed by Feng Jianxiong's genius imagination.

"Jack, have you seen videos from N Stations? Have you seen Youku or youtube?" Feng Jianxiong did not announce the answer, but asked back first.

"I've seen it all, not much." Jack Ma didn't understand, so he answered cautiously.

Feng Jianxiong finally came to the moment of revealing the mystery, and he smiled proudly: "I wonder if you have found a detail - the videos on Youku and youtube are actually not "covered". When our n-site up owners have developed the habit of passing another picture as the cover when uploading the video - of course, to be honest, this habit was not developed by the up owners spontaneously, but by me, I forced Tianyin to force the up owners to do so.

Perhaps someone will follow me after seeing this trick in the future. However, the level of content providers of a website cannot be improved overnight, and user habits cannot be changed overnight. Even if Youku learns in the future, their up owners' level in selecting covers will be far weaker than n sites..."

If people who have watched B-station videos in later generations are also Youku users, it is probably not difficult to find a phenomenon:

On Bilibili, there is a group of bad people who often use covers to achieve the purpose of "title party".

For example, any Hatsune/Summon/Aijiang dance animation with mmd cloth model will have a picture with particularly shameful exposure as the cover, and the user will first click in.

Then, in fact, the scale of this picture is significantly greater than the video's passing scale, which is "if such a shot really appears in the video, it will definitely be 404." Therefore, users will find that there is no scene with the cover picture at all when they watch the complete video.

At this time, users will yell at "Submit the block and not kill it!", "Shameful playback volume!", "Subdued playback volume!"

The B-B-site up owners who sang the sweetness went further and further on the road of the title party in order to cheat clicks.

However, this is actually an operational conspiracy of B station...well, or to put it nicely, a strategy.

Because it successfully forced its up owners to carefully select a picture that best highlights the theme of the video to serve as the cover.

In contrast, although Youku videos several years later began to have the option of "cover", instead of directly using "the first frame of non-black screen image as the default cover". However, the cover on Youku is not so carefully selected, title party.

This differentiated strategy of B station is actually to bet that when artificial intelligence image reading technology develops to the threshold of "being able to understand the theme story of a certain image", but before it reaches the level of "recognizing which frames in a video are the most important", during this window period, B station can achieve sneaking away in the field of "accurate guessing users' preferences for video content".

What is the principle of stealing?

That is: the machine does not know how to select which frame in the video is the most important and the most appropriate theme. But humans know that the author who uploads the video knows. Bilibili forces the author to complete the work of "selecting a frame represented", and then the artificial intelligence algorithm is only responsible for concentrating on interpreting and classifying this frame.

Perfectly achieve "when technology is not as good as Google, relying on operations to seize Google."

This is what Feng Jianxiong is planning for the n station now.

I know that artificial intelligence cannot be achieved overnight, but I know how to maximize the value of semi-finished products.

Google's technology is indeed better than his, but Google is too persistent in technology and does not know how to "pre-board cooking".

On the way out of the kitchen, or even after putting it on the table, you can still continue cooking.

No one stipulates that all dishes must be 100% finished before they can be out of the kitchen, right?

My cooking is not as fast as you, but my playing Japanese food and French food, so I can still serve the dishes faster than you.

By extension, in fact, from this perspective, although the "shocking department" of the uc system is shameless, from the perspective of developing artificial intelligence, the existence of the shocking department is like the title party of "sealing and not killing", which is a petri dish of "algorithm confrontation".

They can uncover the impulses of human nature in advance, so that technical teenagers can test and plug leaks.

Jack horse stares at the dog belt.

He said incredibly: "This...this is OK? Then, if someone really gets hacked into a website that is 'broken' and doesn't kill', and you will be assigned your black materials, how can you do it?"

"What's the matter? If the algorithm is really trained, I'll just kill the donkey. I'll just say that I'll rectify the title party. For the content uploaded by the up owners who have nothing to do with the cover picture, the account will be blocked for a certain period of time, or the list/advertising resources will be not given to the list/advertising resources to show warning. It will be easy to manage at that time.

Actually, I know you are planning to buy uc technology for wholly this year. If you have a happy cooperation with me, I will teach you how to draw the edges of the operation of those who train artificial intelligence algorithms…”

For example, how to train the shock department, when to arrest, when to release, when to sincerely apologize to the society, when to secretly not treat UC consulting readers as humans, but as gui...

The beauty of use lies in one mind.

"Ha, hehe...forget it, I know why I never said I've beat you in my life." Jackma felt like he was brainwashed like a cloud, and was confused and didn't know what to do. "You said that the current part of the n-site is worth $6 billion before financing, just $6 billion. I'll invest another 2 billion to account for 25% of your shares. However, I still hope that you can work with our Ali Group in the field of "public opinion distribution artificial intelligence" and cooperate for many years, and I won't treat you badly."

"Brother Ma is open and bright! The 2 billion US dollars have been smashed. Of course I won't let you down. Let's have a drink." Feng Jianxiong patted Jack Ma's shoulder easy-goingly, and left the lounge with his shoulders and laughed.

Jack Ma actually had the possibility of choosing to "plagiarize Feng Jianxiong's creativity and then support other colleagues to copy the village."

However, the Ali Group now has no "child" level layout in the field of large entertainment. If this business secret is leaked, it would be that the two companies used it together, and it is definitely not as valuable as it is now.

Jackma is a person who does big things, and of course he knows that investing in people with potential, not companies and businesses.

Feng Jianxiong's potential is worthy of his "when he listens to the other party's creativity, he will give the money to the fullest."

Zhou Tianyin followed the two of them stupidly, and was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put them.

When she came today, she was mentally prepared to "let the other party take a quarter of the shares and raise 1.5 billion US dollars."

In that case, the current value of n stations is equivalent to 4.5 billion, which is almost the same as Youku.

In Zhou Tianyin's opinion, the N stations that can be sold after being dismantled are as expensive as Youku, and I am already very content.

But Feng Jianxiong just thought about the progress of cutting-edge technology. He chatted with Jack Ma, and then he had an extra $500 million.
Chapter completed!
