Live online

"2020 Zhongguancun Forum" is well underway. The "AI Open Source Innovation and Industry Intelligence" parallel forum jointly sponsored by Baidu and the Academic Department of China Association for Science and Technology will officially open on September 18. Over ten top experts from industry, university, and research institutes will share AI open source's ecological construction, industry intelligence development trend and the application value and results of independent core AI technology in depth.

Liu Xingping, head of the Academic Department of China Association for Science and Technology and director of Corporate Affairs Office, Wang Endong, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering and chief scientist of Inspur, Wang Haifeng, chief technology officer of Baidu and director of National Engineering Laboratory of Deep Learning Technology and Application will attend the forum. Academician Wang Endong, Wu Tian, vice president of Baidu Group and deputy director of National Engineering Laboratory of Deep Learning Technology and Application, Cui Baoqiu, vice president of Xiaomi Group and chairman of the Technical Committee of Xiaomi Group, Zhang Zhiqun, deputy general manager of Phytium Technology, David Belanger, senior research fellow of Stephen Technology Research Institute and former vice president and chief scientist of AT&T and Bell Labs, David Forsyth, tenured professor of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and top scientist in the field of computer vision, and other leaders and elites in academic and industrial circles, will deliver the keynote speech with scientific and technological connotations and insight into the times.

The forum will also hold a summit dialogue on the topic of "AI open source innovation enabling industry development". Baidu will discuss the application experience of open source technology in depth, consider the promoting role of "back-feeding" of industrial practice, and jointly explore the efficient innovation mode of promoting open source technology and industrial practice with several important guests from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Big Data & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, China Unicom Research Institute, CRRC Academy and Gartner.

As artificial intelligence becomes a strategic technology leading a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, "open source opening up" has become a main trend to promote the global application of artificial intelligence. At present, the various walks of life are seizing the opportunity in time to apply AI for industrial intelligent upgrading. At this time, the deep learning platform for open source opening up will directly and effectively lower the application threshold of deep learning technology, so that developers and enterprises can avoid falling into the "inefficient innovation" situation of "reinventing the wheel" repeatedly.

As an industry-level deep learning platform independently developed by Baidu with the earliest open source opening up, advanced technology, and complete functions in China, PaddlePaddle has been widely used in communication, power, urban management, industry, agriculture, forestry and other fields related to the national economy and people's livelihood, accelerating intelligence of various industries. Just recently, after being selected as the "World's Leading Achievements in Internet Technology" last year, PaddlePaddle has won the first prize of "2019 Science and Technology Progress Award of Chinese Institute of Electronics " and the title of "Exemplary Cases of Science and Technology Innovation Service of China International Fair for Trade in Services", and PaddlePaddle has been recognized by more and more authorities.

At the Baidu World Conference 2020 on September 15, PaddlePaddle also released a new version, with the latest pattern of "dynamic and static combination, and software and hardware integration", and further revealed the important value of independent and controllable core technology and open source opening up. Up to now, PaddlePaddle has adapted to 22 chip types, has 15 hardware manufacturers, and has provided more support for domestic hardware than TensorFlow and PyTorch. Meanwhile, PaddlePaddle has served over 2.3 million developers and over 90,000 enterprises, 310,000 models have been created based on the PaddlePaddle platform, the contribution of the third party of the platform has soared to 1080%, and a prosperous developer community has formed.

On the "AI Open Source Innovation and Industry Intelligence" parallel forum of 2020 Zhongguancun Forum, we can appreciate the collision of views of experts and scholars in the AI field, discover the challenges and opportunities of open source ecology, and step into the front line of industry intelligence implementation. The age of AI has come, and you cannot miss it whatever you have entered it or are ready to enter it. Pay attention to the official website of Zhongguancun Forum, and "enjoy online" cutting-edge science and technology feast.
