Baidu launched DuerOS in early November, a new operating system that will spur the development of artificial intelligence systems. According to the developers, the OS will allow you to quickly develop the interactive capabilities of AI: speech recognition and generation.
We will talk about the features of DuerOS and the functions of the operating systems of the future below. / photo montillon.a CC
Although the official launch of DuerOS took place in November, the project has been tested since the beginning of this year. DuerOS quickly became popular among equipment manufacturers in China. They integrated it into hundreds of devices: from refrigerators and air conditioners to smartphones and robots.
Feature OSes - a powerful machine learning package for voice recognition. The company plans to open access to a thousand hours of Mandarin-language audio recordings. This will allow developers to train devices to “hear” human speech in difficult conditions, such as in an environment of noise.
The creators will also open access to 500 thousand word-addresses in Chinese: “xiaodu xiaodu” to activate DuerOS, etc. In addition, the project developers offer cooperation and financial rewards for helping to develop the processing of the natural language of the virtual interlocutor. Baidu plans to develop courses and conduct seminars at universities and research institutes to exchange ideas about interactive artificial intelligence.
During 2017, the company actively promoted its product: in July, Baidu and NVIDIA announced an expansion of partnerships. Companies are working on solutions based on artificial intelligence in various fields: cloud infrastructure, autopilot vehicles and home robots.
Baidu deep learning platform will run on NVIDIA Volta processors. These companies and Chinese automakers will integrate the NVIDIA Drive PX platform into autopilot systems. DuerOS also integrates Chinese-made NVIDIA Shield TV.
Another alliance is Baidu and audio company Conexant. They teamed up to promote artificial intelligence based voice recognition products and services.
The evolution of artificial intelligence technologies and the desire to improve the performance of mobile devices have become the basis for the creation of new generation operating systems. According to industry representatives, the OS of the future should have an expandable semantic structure, that is, learn to understand new words and expand the language of interaction automatically. For example, so far, developers are adding all the necessary information “manually” to the Google Now service.
In addition, the OS will learn to understand the user. Passive receipt of recommendations will turn into an interactive query system that will anticipate the wishes of the user. Also, the operating systems of the future should master the grammar of the type “operator + data”.
In addition to Baidu, the development of such systems is carried out by the WEAVE.AI team . Their artificial intelligence-based WeaveOS product already contains some of the listed OS components of the future. Another enthusiastic team is Airocorp. According to the developers, their FI-OS solution will simplify the lives of users and turn the computer from a working tool into a companion of a person who studies the behavior and habits of the user.
Andy Rubin, one of the creators of Android, also believes that artificial intelligence is the operating system of the future. Rubin is developing an Essential smartphone and an Essential Home smart home solution on the Ambient operating system. The goal of the developer is to create a single platform for all devices and applications.
Researchers at Oxford and Yale University believe that over the next ten years, machines will be able to translate texts, write school essays and perform surgeries better than humans. According to them, the likelihood that artificial intelligence in 45 years will surpass people in all types of activities is 50%.
Baidu is a Chinese web services company. The main one is the search engine of the same name. Baidu also has an online encyclopedia - Baidu Encyclopedia, which has overtaken Wikipedia in China in popularity.
