Wang Haifeng, Chief Technology Officer of Baidu and Director of the National Engineering Research Center of Deep Learning Technology and Application, delivered a special report entitled “Deep Learning Plus, a New Engine for Innovation and Development”. He said that AI’s technological innovation and industrial development have entered the “deep learning plus” stage. Technically, deep learning plus knowledge marks a crucial development direction of AI technologies. Knowledge-enhanced deep learning allows the fusion of massive data and large-scale knowledge, thus achieving more effective and efficient machine learning. From the ecological perspective, deep learning plus upstream and downstream ecological partners, chips, frameworks, models, and applications constitute a benign ecology that promotes collaborative and innovative development in each link based on feedback. From the industrial point of view, deep learning plus enables thousands of industries to reduce costs and increase efficiency, innovate products and services, and make the industries more intelligent at a faster pace. The deep learning platform plus the foundation model consolidates the base of industrial intelligence.
