Working conditions at universities “Human and anti-science ”

Status: 06/24/2021 5:03 a.m.

Chain contracts, extra work and a lack of prospects: under the hashtag #IchBinHanna, scientists mobilize against difficult working conditions. At their pressure, the Bundestag is also dealing with the subject today. tagesschau.de: With #IchBinHanna, working conditions in science make it into parliament. How did the hashtag come about? Sebastian Kubon: Until recently, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research had a video on its website in which an animated figure named Hanna explains the legal basis of employment, the Science Contract Act. This is a special right of fixed-term employment that regulates that scientists in Germany can be employed for a maximum of six years before and six years after completing their doctorate. Thereafter, the time limit must be extended. But that doesn’t happen due to a lack of jobs, so most of them are thrown out of the system by then at the latest – with all their qualifications and knowledge that are then lost to science. And in addition to this immense loss for Germany as a research location, there is always a personal fate. If there is such an explanatory video to explain this absurd situation, then in my opinion it is anti-human and anti-science. Therefore, Dr. Amrei Bahr, Dr. Kristin Eichhorn and I give the scientists a face – with the hashtag #IchbBinHanna.

To person Dr. Sebastian Kubon is a research associate at the History Department at the University of Hamburg, currently on parental leave. He is mainly concerned with public history and food history. At the moment, criticism of the German science system is at the center of his commitment. To do this, he and Dr. Amrei Bahr and Dr. Kristin Eichhorn created the hashtag #IchBinHanna.

tagesschau.de: What are your main points of criticism and what are your specific suggestions? Kubon: I hardly know where to start. The short-term contracts are particularly bad. Instead of doing research in peace, you have to keep writing new applications and proposals. We need realistic contract terms, i.e. as long as you actually need for a doctorate, for example. And those who then have a doctorate should be employed on a permanent basis – or at least receive a clear and transparent perspective. In addition, there is a lot of unpaid overtime at universities. Many colleagues only have half jobs – and still work as much as if they had full jobs to keep the business running. We need reliable and sufficient basic funding. This does not always mean more third-party funding, i.e. project-related funds that have to be applied for and raised at great expense.

“Then you shouldn’t get any professors out of time”

tagesschau.de: The Ministry of Education justified the temporary positions by stating that research always needed new impulses. Kubon: This argument that only constant fluctuation creates innovation has been around for decades without ever being scientifically verified. According to this logic, professors should not be deferred. I think that is more of an exaggerated argument. Because it is – at least in the short term – easier and cheaper for young scientists to work unpaid overtime. But this literally burns them up, which is expensive in the long term and not sustainable at all. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about pity. But this system means that important research projects are put to rest, teaching suffers in terms of content and students keep losing contact. Many highly talented people, when asked if they could see themselves in science, wave their thanks. tagesschau.de: Another argument from the Ministry of Education is that if all posts were to be expelled, a single generation would “clog” the system … Kubon: But nobody is asking that all positions be permanent – as far as I know, not even the union. It is about transparent criteria and a concrete perspective: in other words, expiry under the and the circumstances. Surely it cannot be that every new generation has to struggle again and again with precarious working conditions and cannot conduct research properly.

“No wonder that many seek their happiness elsewhere”

tagesschau.de: Is that actually a purely German problem, is it better to deal with young scientists abroad? Kubon: “Offspring” is a terrible term. Some people in their mid-40s are not newcomers, but highly qualified experts who have long had highly paid management positions elsewhere. No wonder that many seek their happiness elsewhere. Foreign universities have already tried to poach German scientists as part of #IchBinHanna. But to come back to the question: Overall, science is a precarious system worldwide. But I cannot judge that in detail. But it would perhaps also be more the job of the ministry to set up a commission to deal with working conditions elsewhere in order to see what one can learn from there. But that would presuppose that deficits are recognized at all in their own country.

tagesschau.de: Now there is a current hour in the Bundestag today. What do you expect from it? Kubon: I hope that this will bring science back on the political agenda. If it is to provide urgently needed orientation, then we can no longer work under such conditions. But I have the impression that many politicians simply do not know anything about it. Therefore we say: stop – it cannot go on like this. And maybe a few parties will see it as an opportunity to position themselves on questions of science policy.

Workers’ rights, as for everyone else

tagesschau.de: It is the last week of the session, then there will be general elections in September, so there will be no quick solutions. How do you intend to carry the topic forward? Kubon: The Science Contract Act is currently being evaluated. However, the corresponding forms are designed in such a way that I cannot imagine that valid data will come out of them. Nevertheless: The law is on the agenda for the next legislative period. Therefore, the deficits must now be described as precisely as possible in order to propose possible solutions. This is done in the traditional way, i.e. via local programs, party work or unions. But thanks to social media, initiatives can also arise quickly and spontaneously – the success of #IchBinHanna has shown us that. You made the Ministry of Research have to deal with our criticism. And on this point we will not let up: Scientists must have the same employee rights as everyone else. The interview was conducted by Stefan Keilmann, tagesschau.de

Interview

Fünf Jahre nach Brexit-Votum “Über Nacht war alles anders”

Stand: 23.06.2021 03:57 Uhr

Vor fünf Jahren fand das Referendum über Großbritanniens EU-Mitgliedschaft statt. Einen Tag später hieß es: “We’re out!” London-Korrespondentin Annette Dittert über den Schock nach dem Votum und die Folgen, die zunehmend sichtbar werden. tagesschau.de: Dass das Referendum über einen EU-Austritt Großbritanniens 2016 wirklich zugunsten der Brexiteers ausgehen würde, hielten hierzulande viele bis zuletzt für unwahrscheinlich – umso ungläubiger fielen die Blicke am “Morgen danach” aus. Wie erinnern Sie sich an den Moment der Wahrheit in Großbritannien? Annette Dittert: Am Morgen nach dem Referendum war ich im Zug von Edinburgh nach London. Das Abteil war voller Menschen, alle seltsam ruhig; man spürte eine gewisse Schockstarre. Als mein Telefon klingelte und sie mich Deutsch sprechen hörten, wurde es plötzlich ganz still – und als ich auflegte, brach eine junge Frau mir gegenüber in Tränen aus: “Es tut mir so leid, es war nicht unsere Absicht, dass Sie jetzt wieder nach Deutschland zurückmüssen!” Auf die Idee, dass sich auch für mich jetzt einiges ändern würde, war ich da selbst noch gar nicht gekommen. Und es ging so weiter an diesem seltsamen Tag. Als ich zu Hause ankam, stand auf meinem Hausboot ein großer Blumenstrauß mit einer Notiz der Nachbarn: “Please don’t go!” – “Bitte geh nicht!” So wurde mir allmählich klar, was der Brexit für mich und die anderen EU-Bürger bedeuten würde: dass wir in Großbritannien ab jetzt nicht mehr so einfach und selbstverständlich “dazugehören” würden.

Zur Person Annette Dittert berichtet für die ARD aus London – erst als Korrespondentin, zwischenzeitlich als Autorin, unter anderem im Videoblog “London Calling”, und seit 2019 wieder als Korrespondentin und Studioleiterin.

In den Wochen danach änderte sich dann das Lebensgefühl auf der Insel. Für mich war das oft so, als ob plötzlich ein dunkler Schatten über dem Land liege. Man spürte die Teilung des Landes, die Wut und den Ärger der “Remainers”, die für den EU-Verbleib gestimmt hatten. Der Triumph der anderen, die aber noch gar nicht wirklich wussten, was sie mit diesem Brexit nun anfangen sollten, war leiser, aber für viele “Remainers” dennoch schwer zu ertragen. Familien begannen sich zu zerstreiten, einige meiner Nachbarn sprechen bis heute kaum mehr miteinander, und ich habe auch selbst einige Freunde verloren. Es war einfach über Nacht alles anders. Und dieses freundliche, fröhliche, alle willkommen heißende England, das noch 2012 die Olympischen Sommerspielen zu einem solchen Fest hatte werden lassen, verschwand in den Jahren danach immer mehr. tagesschau.de : Waren die Briten denn im ersten Moment nicht um sich selbst besorgt – oder auch hocherfreut, falls sie für den Brexit gestimmt hatten? Dittert : In den Straßen von London hat an diesem Tag niemand gejubelt. Selbst die “Brexiteers” waren ein bisschen verblüfft und schockiert, denn sie konnten selbst nicht glauben, dass sie das geschafft haben. Boris Johnson war an dem Tag erst einmal verschwunden. Er hatte, glaube ich, selbst nicht mit dem Ausgang gerechnet und wollte lediglich durch ein starkes Abschneiden beim Referendum seine Position innerhalb der Tory-Partei stärken. In der allgemeinen Verblüffung wunderte sich auch kaum jemand darüber, dass Premier David Cameron das Handtuch warf – auch wenn das im Nachhinein einfach unverantwortlich seinem Land gegenüber war, das er so sicher in die tiefste Krise seit der Nachkriegszeit gestürzt hat.

“Ganze Industriezweige kämpfen ums Überleben”

tagesschau.de : Auf den Schock folgten zähe, jahrelange Verhandlungen über ein Austrittsabkommen. Seit dem 1. Mai 2021 ist der Partnerschaftsvertrag mit der EU endgültig in Kraft. Welche Veränderungen sind nun im Alltag spürbar? Dittert: Vieles ist wesentlich komplizierter geworden. Wenn wir zum Beispiel im ARD-Studio London EU-Bürger beschäftigen wollen, müssen wir für sie ein Arbeitsvisum beantragen. Das ist ein Riesenaufwand und auch teuer. Kleinere Firmen können sich das kaum mehr leisten. Und auch umgekehrt ist es für die Briten schwieriger, von hier aus noch für längere Zeit auf den europäischen Kontinent zu reisen oder dort zu studieren, weil die britische Regierung außerdem die Mitgliedschaft im Erasmus-Programm beendet hat. Gerade für die Jüngeren ist das bitter. Zur Zeit merkt man das noch gar nicht so, die Pandemie verdeckt viel. Aber diese Brüche mit Kontinentaleuropa werden zunehmend spürbar werden, wenn die Reiseeinschränkungen erst einmal vorbei sind. Erst dann, glaube ich, wird den Briten so richtig bewusst werden, was das neue Verhältnis zur EU für sie bedeutet.

tagesschau.de: Aus Teilen der britischen Wirtschaft ist ja schon zu hören, dass ihnen das ausgehandelte Brexit-Abkommen bislang zum Nachteil gereicht.

Dittert: Ja, das sind ganze Industriezweige, die derzeit wirklich ums Überleben kämpfen. Vor allem kleinere Betriebe kommen mit den komplizierten Zollformularen einfach nicht zurecht. Gerade die Fischer wurden vor dem Brexit ja sehr umworben: dass sie dann mehr fischen könnten, weil sie nicht mehr die Gewässer mit den EU-Fischern teilen müssten. Nicht gesagt wurde ihnen, dass sie ihren Fisch dann nicht mehr verkaufen können, da die Exporte in die EU durch aufwändigen Papierkram beim Zoll jetzt für sie kaum mehr möglich sind. Die britische Regierung lässt die britischen Fischer bislang weitestgehend allein damit – und viele werden das nicht überleben. Ähnlich trifft es Betriebe, die auf EU-Arbeitnehmer angewiesen sind, die jetzt nicht mehr kommen können. Vor allem die Gastronomie in London und Umgebung. Aber auch hier ist das noch nicht im öffentlichen Bewusstsein angekommen, da viele Hotels und Restaurants noch geschlossen haben. Aber nach der Pandemie wird das spürbarer werden. Neue Handelsverträge auszuhandeln wird viele Jahre dauern, und bis die Loslösung von der EU dann wirklich positive Effekte für die britische Wirtschaft zeigen könnte, wenn überhaupt, werden viele, viele Jahre vergehen.

“Die meisten haben sich damit abgefunden”

tagesschau.de: Wie präsent sind da die Stimmen der glühenden Brexiteers noch?

Dittert: In der Nacht vom 31. Januar, als der Brexit vollzogen wurde, gab es eine kleine Jubelfeier auf dem Platz vor dem Parlament. Die war aber sehr schnell wieder vorbei. Johnson ging nicht einmal vor die Tür der 10 Downing Street – und auch sonst wollte sich in dieser Nacht außer Nigel Farage keiner so recht mit den Brexit-Anhängern sehen lassen. Die “Remainers” saßen währenddessen zu Hause; viele, die ich gut kenne, haben das bis heute schlecht verkraftet. Die meisten haben sich damit abgefunden, aber das Land bleibt gespalten in dieser Frage. Ich würde sagen, mindestens die Hälfte der Briten ist nach wie vor sehr unglücklich über die Entscheidung und ihre Folgen, und ich vermute auch, dass das so bleiben wird.

tagesschau.de: Was wird der zunehmende Unmut für den heutigen Premier Johnson bedeuten? Dittert: Es wird interessant, inwieweit es ihm weiter gelingt, den Briten seinen harten Brexit als Erfolg zu verkaufen. Bisher hat er die Nachteile für die genannten Industriezweige stets bestritten, Fragen von Journalisten dazu wischt er vom Tisch oder beantwortet sie erst gar nicht. Und, wie gesagt, die Pandemie verdeckt im Moment noch viele der negativen Brexit-Folgen. Wenn das vorbei ist, dann wird es interessant, ob die Stimmung doch noch kippt. Ich bin da allerdings ein bisschen skeptisch. Denn dazu bräuchte es eine starke Opposition – und die gibt es derzeit nicht. Die Labour-Partei hat ja im Dezember 2019 mit für den Brexit-Deal gestimmt. Damit haben sie sich zu “Komplizen” gemacht und können den Deal und seine Folgen für die britische Wirtschaft deshalb jetzt nicht so hart kritisieren, wie es eine Opposition eigentlich müsste.

“Brüche zwischen den vier Nationen verschärft”

tagesschau.de: Wie sind die Aussichten, dass sich aus den anderen Landesteilen Großbritanniens Widerstand formieren wird? Schottland etwa macht aus seinen Unabhängigkeitswünschen ja keinen Hehl…

Dittert: Der Brexit zerstört momentan vieles – ob er auch schöpferische Wirkung entfaltet, wird sich zeigen. Aber er hat vor allem Fliehkräfte im fragilen Gebilde des Vereinigten Königreichs freigesetzt. Die Schotten sind eine zutiefst sozialdemokratische Gesellschaft, die Johnsons zunehmend von englischem Nationalismus geprägten Regierungsstil skeptisch gegenüberstehen. Andererseits ist die Unabhängigkeit für die Schotten nach dem Brexit sehr viel schwieriger und komplizierter geworden: Sie hätten dann ja eine EU-Außengrenze quer durch die Insel. Bei der engen Verflechtung zwischen Schottland und England würde das jetzt sehr kompliziert.

Auch in Wales ist die Unabhängigkeitsbewegung stärker geworden, wenn auch nicht so stark wie in Schottland. Und in Nordirland gibt es durch das verhandelte Abkommen jetzt ebenfalls immer größere Probleme: Johnson hat die Grenze ja in die Irische See verlegt und dadurch Nordirland im Grunde vom britischen Festland abgetrennt. Das verschärft die Spannungen zwischen den verschiedenen Fraktionen in Nordirland.

Ganz generell kann man deshalb sagen: Der Brexit hat die Brüche, die es zwischen den vier Nationen vorher auch schon gab, verschärft – und es ist nicht mehr unvorstellbar, dass das Vereinigte Königreich in seiner jetzigen Form tatsächlich irgendwann auseinanderfällt. Die Fragen stellte Jasper Steinlein, tagesschau.de.

In retrospect, the flowers that I saw through these few blockbuster street shots seemed to be multiple collisions with him. He is a mixture of those beautiful and simple qualities, and we can always get something from him. But he is also very simple, showing everyone the truest side every time, because no matter which side is him, he is unique. I suddenly understood that Huahua seems to be telling us that fashion is not only a visual appearance, but also an inner color, an atmosphere created from the inside out, and everyone must be different. I have already begun to look forward to it. What kind of image will Hua Chenyu return next time?

On May 17, the 2021 Sohu Technology 5G&AI Summit was grandly held in Beijing.Peng Chengjin, co-founder and chief system architect of Uisee Technology, as a guest, published the title “AI Reshapes Future Travel and Logistics-“AI Driver” Empowers Full-Scenario Autonomous Driving Landing” Keynote speech.

After the speech, he accepted an exclusive interview with Sohu Technology, and gave detailed answers to the characteristics of Uisee’s autonomous driving technology, the landing case of airport scenes, and the practice of more subdivided scenes.

Peng Chengjin pointed out that Uisee Technology advocates a “really unmanned, all-weather, all-scenario” unmanned driving platform in the field of autonomous driving, and “delivers AI drivers to the entire industry to empower a new ecology of travel and logistics.”

In 2019, Uisee Technology and Hong Kong International Airport officially launched “unmanned logistics” operations, deploying multiple unmanned logistics vehicles to achieve end-to-end cargo transportation trial operations in the airport, and autonomous driving routes covering ground, underground, indoors, and tunnels And other complex environments.

At the beginning of this year, the landing process was further advanced. Hong Kong International Airport announced in January that all luggage trailers that walk through the airport’s Haitian Passenger Terminal will be replaced by unmanned logistics vehicles in the first quarter of this year, completely replacing traditional human-driven trailers to transport passengers’ luggage at the Haitian Passenger Terminal.

Uisee Technology has successively cooperated with many international airports at home and abroad, becoming the first unmanned driving company in China and even the world to build an unmanned intelligent airport.

“In airports, the challenge of unmanned driving is very big. The first is safety. Because of the contact with the aircraft, the safety requirements are very high. Second, in addition to the requirements for safety, the airport has requirements for efficiency. It is also very high, because this flight is managed strictly according to time. Especially the Hong Kong Airport is very dense and the place is very small. The third is the environment. The Hong Kong Airport is reclaimed from the sea, and it is an environment that depends on the sea. Typhoons, heavy rains, high temperatures, and smog put great pressure on the technology itself, the quality of unmanned vehicle products, and operations.”

Peng Chengjin told Sohu Technology that after more than 500 days of operation, the above three difficulties have been basically overcome.

In response to the current car building boom, Peng Chengcheng believes that it is precisely because everyone has seen that smart driving has entered the second half, autonomous driving companies have solved the technology, products and the first batch of large-scale commercialization, so that the entire industry can see the development of smart driving. The outbreak has arrived, so so many companies have begun to join the manufacturing of intelligent driving vehicles, which in itself is an affirmation of the past exploration of autonomous driving.

The following is a concise compilation of the interview record:

Sohu Technology: First, you can briefly introduce to the netizens of Sohu the main work you are responsible for at Uisee Technology, as well as the technical characteristics of Uisee.

Peng Jincheng: I am mainly responsible for technology research and development and some construction of unmanned driving platforms at Uisee. At present, I am focusing on making unmanned driving algorithms and systems better, smarter, and safer. We call it a truly unmanned, all-weather, all-scenario driverless platform, and deliver “AI drivers” to the entire industry to empower a new ecology of travel and logistics.

Sohu Technology: The cooperation between Uisee Technology and Hong Kong International Airport is a well-known case in the industry. At the beginning of this year, it was reported that the unmanned logistics vehicle jointly developed by the two parties has also begun to operate. It can be seen that the use of unmanned vehicles in the airport has gradually increased. What are the difficulties in landing the airport scene? In terms of technology, how did Uisee achieve the first breakthrough in the industry?

Peng Jincheng: Around December 2019, we started to do normal unmanned operations in the airport. In the beginning, there were a few vehicles, but now there are dozens of them. Especially during the epidemic period last year, the airport scene saw the advantages of unmanned vehicles, and its deployment and application were greatly promoted.

In the airport, the challenge of unmanned driving is very big. The first is safety. Because of the contact with the aircraft, the safety requirements are very high. Just now I also introduced that in the airport unmanned vehicle, in addition to the safety and redundancy of the unmanned driving system, we have also created a system for “de-safety officer”, and even provided another set of scenarios for the airport. The intelligent system that monitors the environment, avoids aircraft and vehicles, and maintains a certain distance, guarantees the safety of unmanned vehicles in the airport and the safety of the apron area.

Second, in addition to the safety requirements of the airport, it actually has very high requirements for efficiency, because this flight is managed strictly according to time, especially the entire flight at Hong Kong Airport is very dense and the place is still small, so The efficiency requirements are very high. It is required that the unmanned vehicle must complete the service within a few minutes, and this cannot be exceeded. More than one time is equivalent to a record. In terms of efficiency, we also need to ensure that our unmanned vehicles cannot stop there if something goes wrong. You must ensure that it can operate at all times. If it goes wrong, there must be other ways to continue to provide services.

The third is the environment. The Hong Kong Airport is reclaimed from the sea. It is an environment that relies on the sea. Typhoons, heavy rains, high temperatures, and smog put great pressure on the technology itself, the quality of unmanned vehicle products, and operations. Basically, after more than 500 days of operation, we have overcome these three difficulties.

Sohu Technology: What other segmentation scenarios is Uisee still working on? How is it laid out? Which applications are the focus of investment?

Peng Jincheng: We are currently working hard in many industries. We are AI drivers in all scenarios. We provide AI driving services. In addition to airports, we have more than 100 unmanned vehicles in the world’s most modern factory. Normalized operation of AI drivers. In addition to public transportation, unmanned buses, RoboTaxi, passenger vehicles and unmanned delivery, we are also working hard. Our goal is to apply full-scenario AI drivers in addition to these so-called specific The scenes also include various open scenes.

Sohu Technology: In 2018, you expect that it will take 3-5 years for the cost of driverless vehicles to fall to the point that they can be commercialized on a large scale. Looking at it now, has this progress been achieved?

Peng Progress: In 2018, it seems that the judgment is still a little conservative. In fact, everyone is now talking about the second half of driverless driving. The first half is mainly about technical products and whether it can explore real business. The landing value has been proven in the second half.

We have already started to use unmanned driving technology on a large scale last year, and there are many applications in many scenarios. By this year, with the advancement of technology, especially the cost of lidar, a key component in unmanned driving, its cost has dropped very fast. At that time 3 years ago, it was tens of thousands of dollars, and now there are thousands of dollars. Lidar can be selected. In three years, hundreds of dollars will be available, which will greatly promote the industrialization of unmanned driving, lower its threshold and promote its arrival.

Sohu Technology: Autonomous driving technology manufacturers like Baidu have also started to build cars. What do you think of the current car building boom? Does Yushi have a plan to build a car?

Peng Progress: It is precisely because everyone has seen that smart driving has entered the second half, we have solved these difficulties with technology, products and the first batch of large-scale commercialization, allowing the entire industry to see the arrival of smart driving. That’s why so many companies have begun to join the manufacturing of smart driving cars. In itself, our past work and our persistence are an affirmation.

Secondly, we still stick to our point of view. We don’t build cars. We only provide AI drivers. We work with other car-making companies in the whole industry. As we enter the second half, the industry begins to gradually integrate. The point of view is who is good at Do what you do. In the end, only in this way can the future of intelligent driving come faster.

On May 17, the 2021 Sohu Technology 5G&AI Summit was grandly held in Beijing. As a guest, Chen Zhiping, Vice President of ZTE Corporation, participated in the roundtable forum with the theme of “New Infrastructure, New Intelligent Manufacturing”. After that, she accepted an exclusive interview with Sohu Technology, and gave detailed answers to the development process of C-end consumer-level applications after 5G commercialization two years later.

Since the first year of 5G commercial use in 2019, 5G has gradually moved from abstract technology to concrete application level, but from the consumer side, users’ perception of 5G is still not strong in two years.

Chen Zhiping pointed out that this is mainly due to the fact that on the one hand, the network itself has not been built to the coverage and coverage of the 4G era. On the other hand, if we are committed to developing applications that allow users to perceive differentiation, in addition to network optimization, Differentiated terminals are also needed.

In addition, although industry applications have entered a golden period this year, Chen Zhiping believes that there are still huge challenges, which are mainly reflected in the process of integrating industry scenarios with 5G and ICT technologies.

“From the perspective of enterprises, or from the perspective of the 5G empowerment manufacturing industry, I think machine vision has the most star potential among the current industry applications.” Chen Zhiping said that the application of machine vision at the industry level is already relatively mature. degree. Taking ZTE Corporation as an example, in the Binjiang manufacturing base, machine vision was successfully applied to the quality inspection of the production line, resulting in a 97% improvement in product quality.

The following is a concise compilation of the interview record:

Sohu Technology: 5G has been in commercial use for two years, but the perception of it at the C-end user level is still relatively weak. What caused it? What do you think of the two-year history of commercial development?

Chen Zhiping: China’s 5G development is very fast. According to recent data, there are currently more than 1.1 million 5G base stations in the world, and China has almost 800,000. China’s 5G applications should be said to be in the forefront of the world. Now everyone feels that 5G applications are not so sensible, and everyone’s perception of applications is not so high. In fact, on the one hand, the network itself has not yet reached the coverage and coverage of the network construction in the 4G era, including the improvement of our performance experience, and the experience of those in the 4G era has reached a level where the experience is relatively thick. There is still a period of time to develop. The development of any technology requires a long period of time to accumulate. This is one reason.

There is another reason. In terms of 5G applications, we are still looking forward to the emergence of some differentiated applications that will allow users to perceive the emergence of differentiated applications. This aspect belongs to the network and needs to be further optimized. On the other hand, there are some brighter expectations. The emergence of differentiated terminals, and now there are some AR and VR, this innovation has to be accelerated before the C-side applications can be perceived.

B-side applications may face greater challenges. This application also involves the in-depth opening of the industry to the industry itself, to the scene, and then effective integration with 5G. Only in this way can 5G be truly empowered in the industry and help business owners improve efficiency. , Cost reduction, and quality improvement, truly rest assured, worry-free and happy for business owners.

Sohu Technology: What exactly do you mean by the challenges faced by the B-side application?

Chen Zhiping: The application of the B-side, it belongs to the golden period of development layout. Taking ZTE as an example, we first effectively combine 5G applications with production and manufacturing scenarios in our own production and manufacturing links. For example, algorithms like machine vision plus 5G plus AI can improve the quality of our manufacturing links, including the improvement of personnel efficiency, the reduction of costs, and the connection of data throughout the production chain. This is One.

In addition, we have also achieved the combination of 5G and our industrial manufacturing robots, and used some flexible technologies to make production and manufacturing more intelligent.

In the 2B industry, the biggest challenge lies in the integration of industry scenarios and 5G technology with our ICT technology. There are technical challenges to solve and accumulate. There is also a talent for experts. The collision of cross-professional concepts and knowledge, as well as our teamwork approach to overcome these difficulties, reach a consensus, and establish a working mode of mutual cooperation and mutual trust. This is also one of the challenges that we have to solve.

There is also more that companies need to build such a long-term development confidence, determination and patience.

Sohu Technology: What are the current “star applications” in the 5G field? Which is the easiest to scale in the short term?

Chen Zhiping: From the perspective of enterprises, or from the perspective of the 5G empowerment manufacturing industry, I think machine vision has the most star potential in the current industry applications. Machine vision has been successfully applied to the quality inspection of production lines in ZTE’s intelligent manufacturing base and the Binjiang manufacturing base, resulting in a 97% improvement in product quality. Moreover, there is another application in our machine vision. We not only use it ourselves, but also as an abstract industrial application component. It has been successfully applied to the chemical fiber industry, metallurgical industry, including ports, including steel, and power grids. Including transportation, in fact, in various industries, the combination of machine vision and 5G, and the combination of AI algorithms, its application fields are relatively wide, and relatively speaking, its maturity is relatively high. Moreover, it can quickly make enterprises feel the value of reducing costs, improving quality and increasing efficiency.

Sohu Technology: It is said that 2019 is the first year of 5G. How do you define the development stage of 5G this year?

Chen Zhiping: This year should be the opening year and golden year of the 5G empowerment industry layout.

Sohu Technology: In the past 7 years, ZTE has invested more than 10 billion yuan in research and development every year, and its 5G standard essential patents rank among the top three in the world. What is ZTE’s plan for 5G next?

Chen Zhiping: In the 5G area, we have always emphasized the down-rooted approach to build continuous investment in the field of basic technology research and build one of our technological competitiveness. On the one hand, we hope to understand the 5G technology thoroughly, and then use its application technology, connection technology, and algorithm, intelligent calculation and storage, to extend the extension, we call the pan-5G technology wider and deeper.

In addition, we also emphasize that in terms of 5G applications, starting from ourselves, opening up the scene of industrial manufacturing, in our own 5G manufacturing base, to combine these 5G applications with our production links, using 5G to manufacture 5G, and to use 5G technology. These solutions for industrial manufacturing and our industrial components, solidify, abstract, and reproducibly apply to other industries. This is our own practice.

On the 5G application side, we are also working with our industry partners to explore and practice, and promote everyone to build an ecosystem of 5G applications. We are also willing to open up our atomic capabilities to companies in the industry and partners in the industry to promote the digital transformation of the entire industrial manufacturing and thousands of industries outside of the industry. This is why ZTE calls itself the position of a digital economy road builder in the digital age. We are willing to be the helper and promoter behind enterprise applications and digital transformation, and help everyone build an industrial ecosystem together.

On May 17, the 2021 Sohu Technology 5G&AI Summit was grandly held in Beijing.Tian Feng, the founding dean of SenseTime Intelligent Industry Research Institute, delivered a keynote speech as a guest “The Global Change of AI Ethics” . After the speech, he accepted an interview with Sohu Technology. When the rapid development of artificial intelligence and big data, discussions on data security and AI ethics also emerged. Tian Feng gave a detailed answer in the interview.

Tian Feng believes that artificial intelligence is a tool, and a tool must depend on the purpose and the person who uses the tool. Only when users have values. “We hope it will be used by good people, so our so-called AI ethics is more about letting good people use artificial intelligence, rather than letting evil people use artificial intelligence.”

In order to train artificial intelligence, user data is collected more and more, and many cases of privacy infringement have occurred in the process. Tian Feng pointed out that we must not give up food because of choking. “Artificial intelligence will have various risks. If you don’t use it or study its technology, it will never develop. This will bring humanity to industry regression and development. It will always be a theme, whether it is China, the United States, or Europe.” He said.

In fact, while artificial intelligence technology is developing, privacy protection technology is also developing simultaneously. For example, the federated learning technology proposed by Google in 2016 is one of the most popular technologies for privacy protection in the industry. Tian Feng explained the technology and said, “The data is available and not visible. When I judge whether the data is true or false, I only answer a yes or no, and will not tell me the underlying original data. This is the principle of data services.”

Tian Feng introduced that in addition to federal learning, privacy computing, encryption of biometric data, and some corresponding anonymization processing are all security protection technologies that SenseTime Intelligent Industry Research Institute has invested in research and development in various scenarios.

The following is a concise compilation of the interview record:

Sohu Technology: Would you like to briefly introduce to the netizens your research institute of Intelligent Industry and whether SenseTime has some interesting research?

Tian Feng: Artificial intelligence is changing the life and business model of each of us. SenseTime Intelligent Industry Research Institute focuses on the industrial value of artificial intelligence and our social value, including social impact. This is the result of our continuous efforts to write various smart industry reports, digital transformation reports, and global AI policy analysis and ethics-related research results.

Sohu Technology: A common topic, is technology neutral or valued. What do you think of this issue?

Tian Feng: First of all, we believe that artificial intelligence is a tool and a representative of the forefront of technology. The tool must depend on your purpose, so its users, the people who use this tool, must have values.

It has three directions. In general, science and technology, the first is to become a tool of the industry, and the second is to become a scientific, forward-looking theoretical research result. So the second one is the development direction of cutting-edge technology. The third is the unavoidable topic, weapons. During World War II, science and technology developed rapidly. Basically, these three directions evolved. In the end, whoever uses such technology has corresponding values.

Sohu Technology: The technology itself is still a tool?

Tian Feng: Yes, we want it to be used by good people, so our so-called AI ethics is more about letting good people use artificial intelligence, rather than letting evil people use artificial intelligence.

Sohu Technology: User privacy protection has always been a hot topic. In the era of big data, the demand for data is very large. In order to train AI, etc., are there any technologies and rules to better protect user privacy?

Tian Feng: Regardless of China, the United States and Europe, everyone attaches great importance to the privacy of the whole people, which will promote the development of the entire technology industry. The ethical protection of artificial intelligence now has a purpose, first to promote development, and second to protect the bottom line. Artificial intelligence will have various risks. If you don’t use it or study its technology, it will never develop. This will bring industry regression to mankind. The first development will always be a theme, no matter it is China, the United States, Europe.

The second thing is to keep the bottom line. Everyone is like sitting on a boat. If any place leaks, the boat will sink. From the perspective of Shangtang Technology, we have made a lot of investment and work in artificial intelligence ethics. Including the Intelligent Industry Research Institute, our main core task is to do research on the ethics of AI and the joint research and development team to make more technical inputs. For example, what we are talking about now is federated learning, privacy computing, including the encryption of biometric data and the corresponding anonymization processing. These are all kinds of security protections and practices that we continue to do in different industrial scenarios.

Sohu Technology: Federal learning is a relatively hot technology in the industry. Can you explain to the public in simple words what kind of technology is this? Can it protect privacy?

Tian Feng: We often say one sentence, which is particularly suitable for describing this. The data is available or not visible. When I judge whether the data is true or false, I only answer yes or no, and will not tell me the underlying original data. This is data. The principle of service.

Second, federated learning is actually multiple data, and even data from multiple business entities are put together for fusion machine learning training and data cross-analysis. However, this environment can guarantee the security of the underlying data to the data of all parties. From the IT era to the cloud computing era to the artificial intelligence era, there are various technologies to protect the underlying security of multiple data, and more can be obtained from the above. The results of good data analysis, the data of insurance companies and the data of Internet companies are intertwined to produce insurance premium data of thousands of people, which does not mean to publish the private data of every car owner. This is to look at the federal government from an industry perspective. The integration and innovation of the data of multiple commercial entities realized by learning can not only obtain commercial value, but also protect the data resources of each party from being leaked.

Song Wanxin: Shang Tang has invested a lot in this area?

Tian Feng: Yes, we have joined hands with many university laboratories around the world to do artificial intelligence technology and ethics research and development. We have established a computational law and AI ethics research center in cooperation with Shanghai Jiaotong University, relying on the first-line scientific research of universities and enterprises Strength, we will work together to study the technology and soft topics of risk control in various aspects of AI ethics and legal compliance.

As a company that has been focusing on investments in the new economy for a long time, Hanergy has created a number of successful classic cases in the past, helping many companies to rapidly grow into industry leaders. In addition to JD Logistics recently, the direct recruitment of BOSS, which was just listed in the United States on the evening of June 11, has also brought huge returns to Hanergy’s investment. Chen Hong said: “Investment in direct recruitment of BOSS has earned about a dozen times.”

“Internet celebrity” products may just be a gust of wind

As a well-known figure in the investment banking circle, Chen Hong’s entrepreneurial history began in the United States on the other side of the ocean. He started his business in Silicon Valley in 1993. In 1999, he led the founded GRIC company to land on Nasdaq. One of the Chinese entrepreneurs who led the company to go public.

In 2003, he chose to return to China to start his own business and set up the Hanergy Investment Group. Over the years, the company has invested in and participated in mergers and acquisitions of many well-known companies. For example, in the merger of 58.com and Ganji.com, Hanergy acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Ganji.com, helping it sort out the complicated shareholder background and corporate structure, and facilitate the smooth completion of the transaction; in 2011, Hanergy invested in Chinese Online, the latter of which It was listed in January 2015 and became China’s “first share of digital publishing”. Hanergy’s total investment return on Chinese online shares reached 12.34 times, with an IRR of 79%.

Currently, Hanergy focuses on investments in the Internet economy, technology, consumer and medical fields. He told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client: “Invest in China’s new economic industries, choose and hold those scarce resources that have good growth potential. You can withdraw part of it when you need a return, and hold the rest for a long time. In the end, the return will definitely follow. Grow with economic development.”

In 2018, Hanergy invested in JD Logistics because of its new economic attributes. Chen Hong said that JD Logistics is not a traditional logistics company. It has a strong sense of science and technology. It has many of its own things and its service quality is higher than that of its peers. JD Logistics is relatively independent, serving both JD Group and other e-commerce companies. “The scale of e-commerce companies is growing rapidly. There are always a few leading companies, so I invested.”

Speaking of the recent changes in investment trends in the Internet field, he said that since the high-speed growth period has passed, “many Internet companies may not have much growth in their daily activities.” This has led to fewer Internet-related investment opportunities than in the past, but there are still some areas that are relatively hot.

The first thing worth paying attention to is the field of corporate services. Chen Hong believes that China’s To B service enters the development period, and there will be the emergence of leading companies, and there will be growth opportunities. The unicorn that Hanergy has just invested in has a turnover of several hundred million yuan, but its market valuation has reached tens of billions of dollars.

Followed by the medical services and biotechnology industries. He estimated that based on China’s huge population base, there may be one or two medical companies with a market value of hundreds of billions or even trillions in the past two years.

In the past, new consumer areas that VCs were not interested in have also undergone many changes. For example, consumer brands such as Heytea, Bubble Mart, and Yuanqi Forest have emerged rapidly and have become popular “net celebrity” products. Chen Hong believes that this sends a signal, “As China becomes more powerful, consumers, especially young people, will gradually like domestic consumer brands.”

However, he also reminded that in the new consumer field, if a company only relies on a “net celebrity” product to make money, it is likely to be a gust of wind, and after a while, it will quickly disappear. In the past, there were a lot of similar “net celebrity” products. He also said: “If the management team has the ability to grasp a favorable market position when they are pushed up by others, and can provide more related products in their value ecosystem, they may survive. But this is not the case. Every entrepreneur can play it.”

In addition, Hanergy is also looking at areas related to “carbon neutrality”, such as new energy batteries, new infrastructure, and electric vehicles.

Investing in startups fancy the founding team

Each venture capital and investment bank has its own investment style. For Hanergy Investment, Chen Hong introduced that Hanergy will generally make a controlling acquisition of the target company with strategic investors. After the holding is achieved, it will use its resources and platforms. Empower the target company to help the company grow. This is also a common style of play between KKR and Blackstone in the world.

In 2005, Chen Hong and his partners made a huge return on their investment in Elevator Advertiser Frame Media, and later entered the Harvard Business School textbook as a case study. The business model of elevator advertising still exists today, and its positioning characteristics are conducive to precision marketing. However, at that time, the market share of elevator advertising was very scattered.

He recalled: “At that time, the company we first invested in had a turnover of 30 million yuan, and the company was insolvent. We went in and held holdings first. Within a few months, we integrated seven or eight companies that do elevator advertising in first-tier cities. Quickly occupy 70% of this market segment.”

Chen Hong said that the benefits of integrating this sub-industry are twofold. First of all, each company does not have to fight price wars, and the competition is smaller. Secondly, as the scale becomes larger and the company’s negotiation ability becomes better, the amount of an order negotiated by an advertising salesperson may change from 500,000 yuan to 10 million yuan. After Frame Media achieved rapid growth, Hanergy assisted in the completion of Focus Media’s acquisition of Frame Media as an exclusive financial advisor. Hanergy’s overall return on investment reached 93 times.

Hanergy Investment has its own criteria for the choice of specific companies. He mentioned that, firstly, it depends on whether the company has the ability to increase its own safety and use its existing market position to continuously innovate to resist risks; secondly, it depends on whether the company can lay a solid foundation in its business field.

He also said that Hanergy will not invest in companies that diversify prematurely. When an enterprise is satisfied with its current market position and intervenes in an industry that it is not good at, it may cause funds to be dispersed and ultimately fail.

In the venture capital circle, there has always been a saying that “investing money is also investing in people”, that is, the quality of the founder and founding team is fancy. Chen Hong also agreed with this statement. He jokingly said, “For start-up companies, this is the only stage that can be seen.”

Hanergy has invested in a start-up company that uses artificial intelligence to detect human breast cancer, lung cancer and other diseases. The research team basically graduated from Peking University with strong professional and technical capabilities. “We believe that with the increase of big data, artificial intelligence will be used to solve some medical problems in the future. In this field, there are many companies that are much larger than this company, but we are very knowledgeable about the technology of the company’s founding team. I admire it very much. The CEO was in charge of China’s medical business at Siemens. It’s very comfortable to talk about. We feel that the company’s people and technology are good, but it’s almost capital and channels. Hanergy was the first to invest. It became the largest shareholder and introduced the business to this company,” he said.

“Put money in” is the real challenge

Chen Hong has always had an external view that the venture capital industry is becoming more and more concentrated, and the Matthew effect is becoming more and more obvious. He also told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client: “Large mainstream investment companies have increasingly their own style. You have no style and it is difficult to invest in good projects. The first one is unlikely to give you this opportunity, and the second One is that you can indeed look for companies that no one is optimistic about to invest in, but there are very few opportunities to miss.”

He went on to say that more than a decade ago, it seemed that any person or company could be an investment fund. Now it is not. Investment has become more and more professional. How to systematically invest and get returns is very critical. In the future market, there will not be so many VC and PE funds.

Looking at China’s fast-growing new economic industry, there are many investment opportunities. In each industry, one or several leading companies will emerge to become future leaders. An excellent investment team must first find potential entrepreneurs. However, the biggest challenge is not here. Chen Hong said that smart people can see what a good industry and a good company are, but after finding a company, investment institutions must meet the core demands of entrepreneurs before they can invest funds. This is a real challenge to investors.

Investing in a company is a two-way choice. It is both an investment bank and an investment bank. He said: “When a company accepts investment from an investment bank, it will also look at the reputation of the investment bank and whether it can add points to the company. In addition to capital, whether it can give more empowerment to other external resources.”

For example, he said, some companies may want to connect with Internet companies to seek traffic, and non-head funds do not have much effect in this regard. And this is where Hanergy’s advantage lies. Hanergy has participated in the mergers and acquisitions of about a quarter of large-scale new economy companies in China, and has cooperated with companies such as Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, JD.com, and Toutiao.

Investment banks are not superior, but serve enterprises with a “Party B” mentality. He said: “I ask our investment team to maintain the’Party B’mentality. When you invest in others, you also ask others to accept investment and to empower and help them. In this way, the work mentality is different.” (Zhongxin Jingwei APP)

——AMTuring

In the autumn of 1950, Alan Turing, who was hailed as the “Father of Artificial Intelligence” by later generations, in the opening chapter of his book “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”, tossed out this seems to be “ Whimsical “The problem. Also in this article, Turing proposed a concept that appeared even earlier than “Artificial Intelligence (AI)”—— Turing test . This opened the prelude to human beings’ arduous exploration in the field of AI.

Time flies, and the stars change. Over the past 70 years, AI, which has experienced three waves of development, is quietly entering the daily lives of our ordinary people with various faces. Facial recognition, assisted driving, intelligent medical imaging and other applications are gradually becoming part of the “usual” part of human society, thanks to the continuous maturity of AI technology . And behind this is the continuous investment in AI research and development by academia, industry and even various countries. At present, the research and development of AI in countries around the world has gradually become a “race” trend. But to truly pass the “Turing Test”, no country has yet to be able to do so.

On June 1, at the 2021 Beijing Zhiyuan Conference, the ultra-large-scale intelligent model “Enlightenment 2.0” was officially released. With its 1.75 trillion parameters, it set the world’s largest pre-trained language model record and successfully demonstrated China’s AI technical strength to the world. It is reported that “Enlightenment 2.0” consists of four pre-training models of Wenyuan, Wenlan, Wenhui, and Wenshuo.

Among this, “Wenlan” is good at semantic understanding, visual-language retrieval, etc. Aroused great interest from Meike.com. It is reported that, Wenlan’s strong understanding of semantic information has reached the world’s “leading” level, which can be regarded as a breakthrough in the world’s AI field.Its capabilities are highly scalable and can be applied in a variety of scenarios . Through the research of Wenlan, human beings and the seemingly out of reach of the “Turing Test” are one step closer. The Wenlan R&D team is led by Professor Wen Jirong, Executive Dean of the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence at Renmin University of China, and works closely with Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute.

Through hard work, we are honored to interview the head of the model group of the Wenlan R&D team—— Professor Lu Zhiwu from Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence, Renmin University of China , And chatted with him about the future of AI and the story behind Wenlan.

AI development is gradually entering a bottleneck, and the multi-modal pre-training model led by Wenlan may become the key to “breaking the game”

As we all know, the ultimate goal of artificial intelligence is Let machines have the same understanding and thinking ability as humans . But more than 70 years have passed, and there is still a long way to go before this goal.

As far as the academic community is concerned, although many AI technologies can have a positive impact on human life, from the perspective of the general trend, AI research and development seems to be reaching a “ bottleneck “. Both the academic circle and the industry need to discover a new “hot spot” in technology to stimulate the entire AI industry to continue to develop by leaps and bounds.

In this case, “Wen Lan” was born.

Professor Lu Zhiwu told reporters, “ In the end, any AI model is actually a neural network. In the past, the industry often used pure text or pure image mode for unimodal training of AI.But now it seems that its effect is not particularly effective . ”

With academic development, The Wenlan team began to focus on pre-training using graphic data pairs at the same time, hoping to tap the new potential of AI . But before this, there has been no successful case in this direction.

In order to obtain better results, the training data used by Wenlan 1.0 and 2.0 Upgraded from 30 million to 650 million unlabeled graphic data. The huge amount of data is very difficult for model training, but it also lays the foundation for Wenlan to have strong visual-language retrieval capabilities and certain common sense understanding capabilities.

In terms of training methods, the Wenlan R&D team adopted an efficient distributed multi-modal pre-training framework and proposed a multi-modal pre-training algorithm based on DeepSpeed ​​to maximize the use of GPU and CPU and optimally support cross-modality Contrast learning.

At present, Google and OpenAI, the top foreign AI R&D institutions, are also trying the research direction of the Wenlan team. The project names are Google ALIGN and OpenAI CLIP respectively. Lan is obviously better, so to speak, At present, Wenlan has reached the top level in the world in terms of mutual inspection of pictures and texts and semantic understanding.

So, where can Wenlan be applied? Professor Lu Zhiwu told reporters that the current Wenlan, like a “brain”, is highly adaptable and can be used in multiple scenarios. Taking one of its strong “retrieval and recommendation” capabilities as an example, Wenlan can be “handy” in the common business scenarios of multiple sub-industries in e-commerce, games, and video.

Professor Lu Zhiwu said “ If the AI ​​we have learned in the past is only a child, now Wenlan is more and more likely to be close to an adult “.

Explore AI “subconsciousness”, “Turing Test” can see more dawn

Wenlan’s ability is beyond doubt. But for the Wenlan development team, After training on massive graphic data, does Wenlan really learn semantic information, and how strong is Wenlan’s understanding ability? , Has become a very attractive question.

For this reason, Wenlan’s R&D team decided to test Wenlan by means of “neuron visualization”. You can simply understand this as a “ Propositional painting “The test. We told Wenlan a meaningful sentence, let Wenlan feedback her understanding of this sentence in the form of a picture.

But please note that the picture feedback here is by no means matching the optimal solution from Wenlan’s existing picture data, nor is it an imitation of specific training data like some AI painting models.

At this time, Wenlan is more like an “ordinary person”. With the help of his own knowledge, he tries to understand the new information passed in from the outside world, and uses the form of pictures to “concrete” his own understanding. What the reaction is The objective existence in Wenlan’s “mind”.

Teacher Lu Zhiwu said “ (In this way) We visualize Wenlan’s “subconscious”, which is the most primitive imagination and understanding of a sentence in her mind . ”

How did Wenlan paint it? Simply put, we all know that on a computer, a picture is composed of pixels. By changing the color of each pixel, you can paint on the computer. And Wenlan, who got the text information, used this method to “original painting”, to express her understanding of the meaning of the sentences we gave with pictures. At this time, Wenlan can be compared to a balance. The two ends of the balance are images and texts. What Wenlan has to do is to make the meanings of the two “remain equal.” . It is worth noting that when visualizing neurons, all Wenlan model parameters are fixed and unchanged, only to modify the input initial noise image.

The Wenlan R&D team said: “ In this way, we can get a glimpse of Wenlan’s “inner world”. That is to let go of all evaluation and application restrictions on Wenlan, so that she can show the most primitive and true, unique understanding of the input text in her “subconscious”. ”

At present, according to Wenlan’s “paintings”, his ability to understand semantics has ranked among the top in the world. In addition to everyday language, Wenlan can also understand ancient poems and can even convey a certain “artistic conception”.

The following are some examples of Wenlan’s actual test (provided by Wenlan R&D team):

Statement to Wenlan: Make a wish on the birthday cake

(Interpretation: The image of the cake is very clear, there is also a candle, and there are dots and dots on the cake. The whole is a cheerful atmosphere for a birthday party.)

A sentence to Wenlan: The day is full of mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea

(Interpretation: The mountain peaks in the distance obscured the setting sun but did not obscure the afterglow, and the nearby mountains ran towards us like a yellow river.)

Statement to Wenlan: The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, Jiang Feng Yuhuo is sorrowful

(Interpretation: the red fire on the river, the awning boat nearby.)

Statement to Wenlan: You can pick lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, and He Tiantian with lotus leaves

(Interpretation: the budding lotus on the upper left, the lotus in the middle on the right, the lotus leaves and the whole green.)

Statement to Wenlan: The bright moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time

(Interpretation: The wavy sea below, and the rising moon on the sea. Although the original meaning of the verse is a full moon, it does not literally express the meaning of a full moon. The large abstraction of the background may be Wenlan’s interpretation of “the end of the world is at this time” Understanding.)

Foresight and persistence make Wenlan “come out of the sky”, diversification and intersection will become the new starting point of the AI ​​wave

For scientific research, correct judgment and persistence are sometimes more important than diligence and hard work. When talking about Wenlan’s research and development process, Professor Lu was deeply moved by it.

Since September last year, the Wenlan team has been working on multi-modal pre-training. Thinking of the process at that time, Professor Lu described: “ It was completely groping in the dark, and the multi-modal pre-training model was very difficult to do, but I still walked down this road decisively (weak correlation between graphics and text + two-tower model). ”

But exploration and persistence are risky. During this period, Professor Lu and his PhD students devoted themselves to this project, and therefore did not publish a paper for a long time. If the direction is wrong, or the model is not trained well, it will be a “grainless” result. The pressure on the entire team can be imagined.

At almost the same time, the front runners in the foreign AI industry: Google and OpenAI, are also doing similar things. And in January of this year, OpenAI released two models similar in direction to Wenlan: DALL-E and CLIP. While shocking the industry, it also proved that the selection of Professor Lu’s team was correct and forward-looking.

However, from the perspective of academic research in domestic universities, universities such as Qingbei seem to have more advantages in AI. Why is the National People’s Congress making a breakthrough in the AI ​​field this time?

Professor Lu Zhiwu believes that the advantage of the National People’s Congress lies in its liberal academic atmosphere and rich cultural ideas.

“ Dean Wen Jirong of Hillhouse College of Artificial Intelligence is very supportive of these valuable explorations.So our overall academic atmosphere is still very relaxed and open . ”

In addition, as a higher education institution specializing in humanities and social sciences, the National People’s Congress has its own unique way of understanding AI. In a sense, in view of the prevailing instrumental rationality, the National People’s Congress tends to be more value rational. This is also one of the reasons why Wenlan’s team was able to take the risk of “no revenue for particles” and insist on completing the research.

In the view of Meike.com, In addition to the unique advantages of the National People’s Congress, Wenlan’s success is inseparable from the forward-looking AI development possessed by Professor Lu Zhiwu, and the excellent capabilities of the entire Wenlan R&D team. .

On the long journey of AI exploration, “breaking” and “standing” are eternal topics. Although Wenlan has made breakthrough achievements, Professor Lu Zhiwu still modestly said that, on the whole, the future development of AI still requires the joint progress of related interdisciplinary subjects such as brain science and neuroscience. However, if the road is hindered and long, the line will come. we believe, Driven by the successful case of Wenlan, more “Wenlan” can emerge in China in the future, so that it can take off the “Turing Test”, the crown of AI, in one step faster. .

Here are the makeup mistakes you should avoid when going to an interview. 1. The foundation is thick and fast-moving When going to an interview, you should apply a thin foundation and slightly catch the light. A radiant face will give the impression that you are an energetic and energetic person to employers. Too much foundation will not only age you, but also create a heavy, tired look. You should also pay attention to using waterproof cosmetics because the lipstick layer will easily drift while you move. 2. Bold eyeshadow There’s no rule that says you can’t wear smokey eyes, can’t wear cat eye eyeliner, and can’t wear false eyelashes when you go to an interview, but you should if you want to make a good impression. With a serious office environment, you should apply eyeshadow with neutral colors such as earth pink, light brown, peach orange. Then you just need to apply mascara to have attractive, radiant eyes. 3. Hit the block too hard Many makeup artists have emphasized that contouring and highlighting are only suitable when you are taking photos in the studio. With daily beauty needs, you should only apply light blush, you can skip the contouring step. Cream blushes with peach orange, coral pink colors will bring a fresh look without being flashy to your face. 4. Dark lipstick color The best tones to adorn the lips when going to an interview are light pink, peach pink, light orange. You should avoid using matte lipstick in dark red, deep colors because it can give the impression that you have too strong a personality to the employer. 5. Sophisticated hairstyles and nails Usually, employers will prefer candidates with neat, unfussy hair than bleached hair, flamboyantly styled. If you have long hair, you can put it in a high bun or tie it in a ponytail. You should avoid letting your bangs touch your eyes and cover part of your face. With nails, you should temporarily skip the bright drawings, prominent decorative stones to go back to neutral colors. Whether you have nail polish or not, you should also cut your nails carefully, clean, not let the nail tip get stuck with dirt.

This case was announced after Bill Gates officially announced. Officially announced his divorce from his wife, Melinda Gates. At the time of the incident, Bill Gates was the chairman and head of software architecture at Microsoft. In early May, the news that Bill Gates officially broke up with his wife of 27 years surprised many people. Photo: Bloomberg “The Microsoft of 2021 is very different from the Microsoft of 2000,” Satya Nadella said in an interview with CNBC. “For me and everyone at Microsoft, our focus has always been on culture, respecting diversity, inclusivity, and especially people’s everyday experiences. It is a huge priority,” he added. Down Jones said that the panel investigating Bill Gates’ affair with a female employee came to the conclusion that he had to leave the board, but Bill Gates left the company before a decision was made. Photo: NYPost Bill Gates officially left the Microsoft board in early 2020, although a representative of Bill Gates said that the decision was not related to the investigation. At the time, Microsoft said that Bill Gates would continue to be a technology advisor to leaders at Microsoft. CNN reported that Microsoft declined to share whether at the present time Bill Gates still holds this role or not.

The interview with Anthony Bacarello reads: “ Rosé is the future girl of Saint Laurent, the way she lives, the way she leads fashion and the way she presents herself in public is amazing. ” Many people believe that based on what Saint Laurent’s Creative Director said, Rosé is not currently the official brand ambassador of the company, but in the future, this position will definitely not “slip”. out of the female’s hand idol .

tagesschau.de: Where are you now and from where will you follow the start of your ESA colleague Thomas Pesquet? Matthias Maurer: I was actually hoping that I would be able to watch the start live at Cape Canaveral in Florida. But my training plan is so tight that I have to continue training in Houston. So I’m watching the start from the control center in Houston. I have access to all radio links there. That means: My crew and I will closely monitor how the radio connection is running in the last few hours before the start. And we take that with us as an active learning unit. I’ll be here in Houston until the fall. Then I should go to the ISS myself.

To person Matthias Maurer has made a name for himself with research in materials science and technology. He has been a member of the European Astronaut Corps since 2015. In autumn 2021, he will be the twelfth German to fly into space.

“We can’t just watch that”

tagesschau.de: Thomas Pesquet’s start is special in several respects: For the first time in ten years, a European is flying from American soil into space – and with a commercial provider. Bricklayer: Yes exactly. No European has launched into space from the USA since 2011; the last was the Italian ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori on board the NASA space shuttle. Now it’s Thomas Pesquet, aboard a commercial capsule. We are now seeing that companies, i.e. commercial providers, are able to send astronauts into space. I think that should be a wake-up call for us in Europe too. If companies in the US are able to master this technology, then we as Europe should get on with it. tagesschau.de: Is Europe just being left behind? Bricklayer: We see around the world that a lot of nations are working on it, and I am a little concerned that we as Europeans will be overtaken. India will send its own astronauts with their own capsule into space for the first time in 2022. The Chinese already have this technology, are even building their own space station, and we are seeing several companies in the USA. SpaceX is one of the companies, Boeing is a second company, Blue Origin is in the starting blocks and will soon fly people suborbitally. I think we can’t just watch that. We also have to react in Europe.

“Europe’s billionaires would rather invest in art than in space”

tagesschau.de: The ESA has its own astronautical space program, but not its own transport system to bring astronauts into space. Are there no commercial partners? Somebody like Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, is of course also a godsend for US space travel, right? Bricklayer: You’re right. Elon Musk is not someone who acts like a normal company owner and says: I’m building rockets now because that’s a solid business model. He says: I’m excited about the idea. I want to fly people towards Mars, and I am willing to use my own capital to do so. But he’s not the only one, there is a second actor, that is the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos with the company Blue Origin. These are actors in the US – billionaires – who are passionate about space travel. I think the billionaires in Europe would rather invest in art than in space. But of course that is also a personal decision. tagesschau.de: Let’s get to your SpaceX flight this fall. What are you still training until then? Bricklayer: In the last six months before the start, you practice a lot of the experiments that you are going to carry out. But of course I also train how the Crew Dragon capsule works exactly. For example, survival training is required here if the capsule lands in the water. Under normal conditions, we land at a point that is precisely defined. Then rescue teams come and pull the capsule on board a ship. But in extreme cases we could end up in places where there are no rescue teams. Then we may have to hold out for up to 48 hours on the high seas and wait for us to be rescued. tagesschau.de: When you fly to the ISS, your colleague Thomas Pesquet will still be there. Then there is, so to speak, a European flat share in space. Bricklayer: I’m really looking forward to meeting Thomas Pesquet in space. He will then be the commander of the ISS and I will be a newcomer. He can then familiarize me with the European Columbus module, our science laboratory. He will show me the ISS and then explain what exactly works and how. We still have a few differences between the training modules here on the ground and the version in space. My start is expected on October 23rd. We may have an overlap of five to ten days. That’s because we’re flying to the ISS with four people in the SpaceX capsule. There are already seven people on the ISS. When we get to it, we’ll be eleven. The station is actually not designed for continuous operation with eleven people. It starts with the fact that we may not have enough toilets and sleeping cabins. The overlapping phase is therefore limited to a few days. The interview was conducted by Ute Spangenberger, SWR

Khánh Vân has 15 minutes to change makeup and 5 minutes to choose clothes for each style. Because of the rushing time, Miss Universe Vietnam 2019 chose a fairly simple airport outfit, including a knee-length skirt, a crop-top shirt and outer jeans. However, the outfit was criticized by stylist Tran Dat as “too heavy”. “Is it too heavy for you? Wearing this outfit at a certain event is okay, but to go to the airport and to start an important journey to the exam is not “, stylist Tran Dat commented. Two experts Quan Nguyen and Pu Le are also quite surprised, not understanding why Khanh Van chose the “high-walled” dress on. Stylist Tran Dat commented that Khanh Van’s outfit was too heavy, not suitable for going to the airport on the way to the US for Miss Universe competition. Khanh Van said that she had to wear protective clothing during her move to the US to take the exam, so the 26-year-old beauty chose easy-to-wear clothes with protective gear. In addition, Khanh Van said that he has never been to the US, so he is not sure what the weather or terrain is, so he decided to wear a jacket to keep warm. Responding to Khanh Van, Tran Dat said: “Florida is not cold”. He also manually adjusted Khanh Van’s outfit, telling her to let her coat fall off, exposing her shoulders, making the overall appearance less heavy. The lipstick color and makeup of Miss Universe Vietnam 2019 are also deviated from the outfits. After the comments above, Khanh Van asked permission to allow 5 more minutes to change outfits and lipstick colors. After completing the challenges, three guests commented that Khanh Van is smart and has acquired a lot of beauty knowledge to go to Florida (USA) to compete for Miss Universe. The contest was held late due to the influence of the Covid-19 epidemic. The guests praised Khanh Van’s courage. Makeup expert Pu Le said: “This year, taking the exam is not like previous years, there are many disadvantages because of the Covid-19 translation.” The beauty born in 1995 could not help but cry at the concern of the specialist in the field of beauty. Miss Khanh Van burst into tears when she was praised and encouraged.

The M1 equipping iPad has sparked speculation that Apple will soon merge the iPad and Mac into one product. However, Mr. Greg Joswiak insists this is not a target for Apple. Photo: Apple Instead of merging two product lines, Mr. Greg Joswiak asserted that Apple is creating the best products in each segment. Meanwhile, Mr. John Ternus said that Apple has no goal of limiting the capabilities of one device just to avoid tampering with another. “We strive to make the Mac the best we can, we strive to make the best iPad possible,” he said. Photo: Apple The new iPad Pro has more performance than what a tablet needs. However, two Apple bosses refused to share about the features that iPadOS will support in the near future. Instead, Mr. Joswiak says that adding more performance will give developers more space to act. “Our developers take advantage of this opportunity very quickly,” he said.

About the reasons why he chose G-Dragon on the cover and why he released 8 different versions of the male idol’s cover, DAZED Korea wrote: “DAZED’s 13th Anniversary issue would like to introduce an iconic character of Korean entertainment, most similar to DAZED, someone with a special passion for music and fashion, who loves art, who” transforming “the intangible values ​​of life into reality: G-DRAGON” . G-Dragon’s 8 cover versions this time are also very special, not following any one concept given any given, which is 8 versions with 8 different colors. As Chanel’s global ambassador, G-Dragon also wears all of the brand’s outfits and accessories for this series of fashion photos. Not simply a fashion photo set, 8 covers and 58 pages are almost a photo reportage, capturing the most perfect and authentic moments in G-Dragon’s life. The magazine also has an interview advertised as “unique” with the undisclosed information of the male. idol . Although he hasn’t had any music activities since his demobilization, G-Dragon’s name is still extremely popular hot As long as you cooperate with any brand, it will create a fever with an extremely admirable sales record. Last November, with his appearance on the cover of Korean VOGUE magazine, G-Dragon set the record for the best-selling idol cover in the K-Pop calendar with the number of orders up to 28,000 copies in just 3. day.

Teacher Dong Chenhui, the teacher of Class 102 of Hangzhou Pengzhi Primary School, has recently received several Teacher’s Day gifts from parents. Teacher Dong returned all these gifts intact, with a “thank you letter” attached. The letter said, “Integrity teaching is the consistent style of Pengzhi Primary School. In fact, children’s happy growth is the best gift to teachers… Sincerely hope that we can use simple and pure family-school relationships to help children together. I think this is what our children really want to see. Let us be a family happily and educate our children to grow up clean and honest!”

【Examination Questions Simulation】

The parents of the students gave gifts to the teacher on Teacher’s Day, but these gifts were all returned by the teacher intact, and they wrote back stating that the children would learn to be honest. What is your opinion on this phenomenon?

【Focus on Viewpoint】

@新华社: The simplification of respecting teachers and emphasizing education into gifts has caused problems for both parents and teachers. The headache for parents is whether to send or not to send? What is good to send? This is a difficult problem that the family committee and some parents must face every year. Teacher’s Day is a commemorative, moving and grateful holiday for teachers. However, students and parents squeeze the gift money over. Accepting gifts is against the principle, and not accepting gifts will hurt the faces of students’ parents. There are rigid rules and regulations to follow, as well as the wisdom of Mr. Dong mentioned above for reference. I believe that the problem of parents giving gifts to teachers on Teacher’s Day will definitely be solved.

@中国台网: “The ancient king, the founding of the nation and the people, and teaching first.” Basic education is a career that fosters morality, and is a foundational project to improve the quality of the nation. Only by clearly strengthening ideological and political education, moral education, strengthening the education of socialist core values, and guiding students’ self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance and self-reliance, can we cultivate a large number of qualified builders and reliable successors of the socialist cause.

@新闻网: Chinese traditional society values ​​righteousness over profit, and the two professions of doctors and teachers are the most respected by the world. Because doctors save lives, not money. The teacher achieves wisdom and makes people understand the way. The ancients said: “A daughter does not sell Taoism.” Ancient teachers did not need to learn for profit. In case of cold and sincere students, they not only did not accept support, but also subsidized the students. It is the quality of “seeking a way but not seeking food” for a teacher, which is highly respected by the society.

[Reference Analysis]

Every autumn is the beginning of a year of hard work by teachers, and it is also the best time to promote the virtues of respecting teachers and teaching. Respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao should become the norm.

However, the current atmosphere of respecting teachers and respecting the Tao is not so enthusiastic. Maybe we have seen that teachers received a lot of gifts and thoughts on Teacher’s Day, but that is just a kind of deformed respect. In fact, there is no real understanding in the hearts of parents. People’s teachers do not work together at home and school. Some people regard teachers as nanny and take all the teachers’ contributions as they should be. They are not cooperating with the tasks assigned by teachers and pay little attention to children’s education. Therefore, respect for teachers is always There is a long way to go.

1. “Teachers are easy to find, and teachers are rare.” Zhuang master recruits high-quality talents. To effectively improve the welfare of teachers, especially in remote areas, it is necessary to meet the material needs of teachers, so that the body can feel at ease. If the “valuable teachers and important masters” are effectively put into the system to benefit and retain people, the team of rural teachers will surely grow stronger.

2. Warm every “dream builder” who loves their jobs and works with respect and praise, and creates an atmosphere of respecting teachers and morals. The village teacher Zhi Yueying has been at the podium in a remote mountain village for 39 years. From “supporting sister” to “supporting mother” to “supporting grandma”, decades of dedication lit up the childhood of Dashan children. Countless people are deeply touched by the feelings of a child. There are too many people’s teachers like this. We should increase the publicity of the advanced deeds of excellent teachers, give full play to the power of example, infect teachers, touch parents, and thank you for your great love.

“One thing that I still hide from my audience and my colleagues and many of my friends is that my marriage has broken down. My husband and I broke up about a year ago. With their small family. It was a really hard time for me, but now we have found a way to make each of us better “, Hoang Quyen suddenly shared. Hoang Quyen was born in 1992 in Thai Nguyen and is the runner-up of Vietnam Idol 2012. She is highly appreciated for her voice by many musicians such as Le Minh Son, Quoc Trung, Anh Quan. As the guide Hoang Quyen and brought her to the position of runner-up Vietnam Idol 2012, My Linh spread her heart on her personal page. “About three weeks ago, the rare low-voice singer Hoang Quyen called to me and told her, I want you to help me practice my vocal range so that I can develop my vocal range. Of course she agrees! Quyen comes to study, extremely hard. She is also extremely smart and stubborn, and she is also a stubborn and stubborn hand with a number of cheeks, so in the end Quyen stays quiet and tells her that she wants to study whenever she is free. This morning, I read Quyen’s latest interview with two main shares, the first one: Quyen wrote music for herself to fully cover Quyen’s own vibrations that others could not take away from the end of love. love freedom, the woman’s singing and the girl’s “zero up hero”. This is so good, the right trend and the right thing! Second share: Quyen said “I have been divorced more than this year”, I am now living my aspirations at the age of 28, the age of the first nine of the woman, the woman sing”. Hoang Quyen has released a number of albums such as Sunshine Fragrant Door (2014), Go (2015), Attractive Wave (2018). My Linh confided, read the interview and looked at the picture of her student, suddenly thinking back to her twenty-eight years old. Back then, My Linh was like Hoang Quyen full of desires and storms. The diva recalls an overnight conversation with her husband on a 28-year-old absence. “I know my personality often forgets and when I feel more emotional or forgetful, I think ahead and compose an outline, key words for a vital conversation. I mean: Will you love me like I love your daughter? Or be generous as your love for your sister? Please put yourself as your father or brother, but be generous and compassionate to love you because you deserve it? And if you can’t do that, please let go Let me go, I’m just 28 still pretty and still have many opportunities for others to do it for me? Can you do that? In short, the answer was that he practiced and would try … “, the voice of” Spring whisper “recalls. My Linh shares a memorable 28-year-old photo She said, recently reading the book “Search inside your self” that said to maintain any relationship good behavior always has to be three times more than bad behavior. What is good behavior or vice versa may still have to say long, but basically love and understanding to love. Yet the same book has the conclusion of psychologists that in marriage the ratio is five to one. Meaning good behavior should be five times greater. So many! How difficult it is! “My marriage is still the same as everyone else’s still difficult but I know how to stop to listen to breathe to understand and to love. No one can say anything in advance but I hope I will practice well in my own house! Wish Quyen and other girls find success in their career and quiet in their souls! Age 28 is a milestone in a person’s life “, My Linh concluded.

Recently, Apple’s vice president of global marketing Greg Joswiak and senior vice president of hardware engineering John Ternus accepted an interview with The Independent. The two executives revealed a lot of information about the company’s future development direction and product planning.

Regarding speculation about the integration of the iPad and Mac product lines, Joswiak responded, At present, Apple does not have the idea of ​​merging the two product lines, they are just trying to make the two products the best products in their respective categories, and will not fall into the “merger” discussion.

When asked why the new iPad Pro uses the M1 chip instead of the A series chip, Ternus said: “ We have been using the best chip for the iPad Pro, and now the best Apple chip is the M1 chip. “The two also discussed the behind-the-scenes story of the new screen for ‌iPad Pro‌.

This is by far the best iPad screen, comparable to Pro Display XDR. The manufacturing team has spent a lot of effort to reduce the thickness of the mini-LED screen, which is a difficult task for Apple. This is by far the best iPad screen, comparable to Pro Display XDR. The manufacturing team has spent a lot of effort to reduce the thickness of the mini-LED screen, which is a difficult task for Apple. In fact, as early as the 2018 WWDC conference, Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, explained at the meeting that Apple will not integrate the two product lines. If you consider it from a business perspective, Apple certainly hopes that users can buy iPhone, iPad and Mac at the same time. If there is a competitive relationship between the iPad and the Mac series in product positioning, then users can only buy one device to meet all their needs, which is obviously not in Apple’s commercial interests.

Although Apple has made it clear that it will not merge, Xiao Lei believes that the powerful performance of the iPad Pro will make it more like a “computer” in the future. This year’s new iPad Pro uses up to 16G of running memory and 2T of hard drive. The greater performance of the iPad will definitely drive developers to launch more productive software, and people can use it to complete more daily tasks in the future.

The iPad Pro with a more powerful configuration has also made its product prices higher and higher. Today, the price of the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is as low as RMB 8,499 and as high as RMB 18,499. In contrast, the lowest price of the MacBook Air is only 7,999 yuan, and the lowest price of the new 24-inch iMac is 9,999 yuan.

For ordinary consumers, the current so high price of the iPad Pro makes it difficult to start. Many people might think why not choose a computer since it’s all at this price? Apple officially said that the iPad Pro will not be merged with the MacBook, but the iPad Pro seems to have “merged” with the price of the computer.

Photo: MacRumors Accordingly, Mark Gurman shared his information in an interview with Bloomberg Technology. In this interview, he once again confirmed that Apple will launch a new iPad Pro with 11-inch and 12.9-inch screens. The more advanced of these will be equipped with a new mini-LED display technology. Basically, Mark Gurman says this is just a small upgrade. Photo: MacRumors The next 20/4 event will be the first product launch event of Apple in 2021. Previously, many sources expected Apple to launch the iMac with completely new design. Bloomberg said the iMac will have a similar design to the Pro Display XDR product and have a chip designed by Apple itself. Photo: MacRumors Mark Gurman said that it is not clear when the new iMac will be released, but Gurman said that “if the iMac shows up at the event, this will be a big highlight”. In addition, Apple is also expected to launch an AirTags device tracking device. Photo: MacRumors The April 20 event will be held online and can be viewed on Apple’s website, the Apple TV app and Apple’s official YouTube channel.

“Huawei’s cooperative car has a much better experience than Tesla”

“6G should be introduced to the market around 2030”

……

From April 12th to 14th, the Huawei Analyst Conference was held in Shenzhen. Under heavy pressure, how will the future go? Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun elaborated on the five key strategic measures in the future and responded to hot topics such as “sanctions”, “cloud business structure adjustment”, “car building”, and “6G”.

After being suppressed by three rounds of US bans, Huawei still survived. The 2020 financial report shows that Huawei has achieved both revenue and net profit growth. Xu Zhijun believes that “performance is in line with expectations.” However, the crisis has quietly emerged. Huawei’s 2020 revenue growth rate is the lowest in the past 10 years. Before this, Huawei has maintained a double-digit growth rate for 6 consecutive years.

Under the ban, Huawei’s mobile phone business was most affected. Its shipments fell out of the top five in Q4 last year. The continuity of 5G base station chip supply was also questioned, and the ballast business inevitably fell into a “deceleration” state.

Reducing chip dependence and increasing the proportion of software revenue has become the key to Huawei’s “survival”. It can be found that the current Hongmeng, cloud business, and automotive businesses that Huawei focuses on are all focused on the software layer, and ecological construction has become an important breakthrough point.

“The goal for this year is to survive, but we still have to strive to live a little bit better.” Xu Zhijun said frankly that he has no illusions about Huawei being removed from the entity list and will work and live on the entity list for a long time.

Increase software revenue and solve continuous supply chain problems

Facing the worries of the outside world, Xu Zhijun gave a “centring agent” at the analyst conference and proposed five key strategic measures for the future.

1. It is necessary to optimize the industry mix and enhance the resilience of the industry, especially to enhance software capabilities, strengthen investment in advanced technology and weakly related industries and smart auto parts industry investment; 2. To promote the full play of 5G value, define 5.5G, and lead the continuous evolution of 5G; 3 .User-centered to create a seamless smart experience in all scenarios; 4. Reduce energy consumption through technological innovation and realize a low-carbon society; 5. Work hard to solve the problem of continuous supply.

Regarding optimizing industry mix and enhancing software capabilities. Xu Zhijun pointed out that he hopes to further use the improvement of software capabilities to reduce the demand for and dependence on chips, and at the same time enhance the competitiveness of products. At the end of November 2018, Huawei’s board of directors passed a decision to invest US$2 billion to improve the company’s software engineering capabilities. Now Huawei will continue to invest unswervingly to improve the entire Huawei’s software engineering capabilities within a five-year cycle. One step.

He said that the recent adjustments to the organization and cadres of the cloud and computing BG are because we believe that the core of the cloud is software, and we hope to strengthen the organization of the software and decouple it from the hardware. At the same time, increase investment and better face the future to achieve the growth of the software industry.

Xu Zhijun believes that it is necessary to continue to increase investment in the smart car parts industry, especially in autonomous driving software. “The goal is to realize driverless cars. Once realized, it will subvert almost all industries related to cars. This is also the most disruptive industrial change that can be seen in 10 years.”

In terms of 5G business, Xu Zhijun said that the most important thing is to increase the development of 5G To C, speed up the improvement of 5G To B solutions, and strengthen the large-scale commercialization of 5G To B. In terms of 5G To B, as of 2020, Huawei has participated in the practice of more than 3,000 innovative projects around the world, and signed more than 1,000 5G To B project contracts in more than 20 industries with operators and partners.

In terms of seamless experience in all scenarios, Xu Zhijun pointed out that based on HarmonyOS and HMS, Huawei will continue to enrich the two ecosystems of hardware and services together with developers and ecological partners. “It is expected that in 2021, 40+ mainstream brands and 100 million devices will become the new entrance to the HarmonyOS experience.”

More than $1 billion has been invested in the research and development of smart car parts

“Xiaomi has built cars, why doesn’t Huawei build cars?” Xu Zhijun said, this question has been asked many times, and some think that Huawei has the brand and technical capabilities and should build cars.

In fact, Huawei’s decision to “not build a car” was made carefully after years of discussion. Xu Zhijun said that Huawei began to conduct car-related research in 2012, when a car networking laboratory was established under the 2012 laboratory.

“But as research continues to move forward, the automotive industry is constantly changing, from a simple electric car to a self-driving car.” Xu Zhijun said that he communicated with many high-level auto companies and found that the industry The industry needs Huawei’s ICT capabilities more than Huawei’s brand.

In 2018, Huawei’s management team met in Sanya and made a decision: it is clear that Huawei will not build cars and help car companies build good cars. “This decision has not changed so far.”

At present, Huawei chooses to use the “Huawei inside” approach to support car companies to build their sub-brands. “We have selected three car companies and launched three sub-brand cars, such as BAIC ARC FOX. A series of cars will be launched in the fourth quarter. We have also cooperated with Chongqing Changan and Guangzhou Automobile.”

“Investment in research and development of smart car parts this year exceeded 1 billion US dollars.” Xu Zhijun pointed out that smart car BU is an industry that Huawei has invested heavily in. It has its own sales, delivery, and other organizational capabilities. It is a function of the company in addition to consumer BG. The most complete BU.

Xu Zhijun believes that China now needs 30 million cars a year, and there will be more in the future. Even if it is only in the Chinese market, it is enough to get an average of 10,000 yuan in income from each car every year.

“At the Shanghai Auto Show in April, the “Huawei inside” cooperation mode car will provide everyone with an autonomous driving experience in a densely populated urban area. Our team told me: they are the best and can It is much better than Tesla to achieve autonomous driving without intervention for 1,000 kilometers in the urban area.”

Let Cloud BU focus on developing cloud services

Recently, Huawei has intensively adjusted its cloud business, which has aroused heated discussions in the outside world. On April 9, Huawei announced the appointment of Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun as Chairman of Huawei Cloud, and Huawei Consumer BG CEO Yu Chengdong was appointed as Huawei Cloud CEO.

A week ago, on April 2, Huawei announced the abolition of Cloud&AI (cloud and computing) BG. On March 30, Huawei just appointed 11 members including Zhang Pingan (formerly President of Consumer Business Cloud Services) as Cloud&AI BG managers; Zhang Pingan was appointed as Cloud BU President.

Regarding the changes in HUAWEI CLOUD, Xu Zhijun pointed out that the business model of HUAWEI CLOUD is an online business and a subscription business model. Therefore, Huawei Cloud has always been an independent BU operating end-to-end and relatively closed-loop.

Xu Zhijun said that when the cloud and computing BG was first established, he hoped that servers and storage could work together with Huawei Cloud. However, some problems were discovered during the coordination operation, which actually consumed the energy of the cloud team. “So now we return the server and storage, let the cloud BU concentrate on developing cloud services.”

“Strengthening the positioning of HUAWEI CLOUD BU is actually a measure of the company to strengthen its software investment.” Xu Zhijun emphasized, “Huawei CLOUD invests more in software and has its own industry rules. We hope that it will be more independent and develop more freely. To increase the proportion of software and services in Huawei’s total revenue.”

6G should be introduced to the market around 2030

Xu Zhijun proposed that 6G should be introduced to the market around 2030. “But what 6G is now, we don’t know yet.”

“The industry hopes that around 2030, like 4G and 5G, there is something to contribute to consumers and enterprises.” Xu Zhijun said that now we are mainly doing two aspects of work: First, work with the industry to work hard to define what 6G is. What? A 6G white paper may be released soon; second, do some basic research and research on cutting-edge technologies around the definition of 6G.

Xu Zhijun believes that if 6G application scenarios cannot be found, then 6G may not be needed. If 5G or 5.5G can help realize the scenarios and applications that can be imagined, then 6G is not needed.

Generally speaking, Xu Zhijun believes, “We are looking forward to 6G, but we don’t necessarily have 6G. But we still have to prepare, do research, and invest in the possible arrival of 6G.”

“Huawei’s cooperative car has a much better experience than Tesla”

“6G should be introduced to the market around 2030”

……

From April 12th to 14th, the Huawei Analyst Conference was held in Shenzhen. Under heavy pressure, how will the future go? Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun elaborated on the five key strategic measures in the future and responded to hot topics such as “sanctions”, “cloud business structure adjustment”, “car building”, and “6G”.

After being suppressed by three rounds of US bans, Huawei still survived. The 2020 financial report shows that Huawei has achieved both revenue and net profit growth. Xu Zhijun believes that “performance is in line with expectations.” However, the crisis has quietly emerged. Huawei’s 2020 revenue growth rate is the lowest in the past 10 years. Before this, Huawei has maintained a double-digit growth rate for 6 consecutive years.

Under the ban, Huawei’s mobile phone business has been most affected. Its shipments have fallen out of the top five in Q4 last year. The continuity of 5G base station chip supply has also been questioned. The ballast business will inevitably fall into a “deceleration” state.

Reducing chip dependence and increasing the proportion of software revenue has become the key to Huawei’s “survival”. It can be found that the current Hongmeng, cloud business, and automotive businesses that Huawei focuses on are all focused on the software layer, and ecological construction has become an important breakthrough point.

“The goal for this year is to survive, but we still have to strive to live a little bit better.” Xu Zhijun said frankly that he has no illusions about Huawei being removed from the entity list and will work and live on the entity list for a long time.

Increase software revenue and solve continuous supply chain problems

Facing the worries of the outside world, Xu Zhijun gave a “centring agent” at the analyst conference and proposed five key strategic measures for the future.

1. It is necessary to optimize the industrial mix and enhance the resilience of the industry, especially the enhancement of software capabilities, and strengthen the investment in the weakly related industries of advanced technology and the investment in the smart auto parts industry; 2. To promote the full play of the value of 5G, define 5.5G, and lead the continuous evolution of 5G; 3 .User-centered to create a seamless intelligent experience across the scene; 4. Reduce energy consumption through technological innovation and realize a low-carbon society; 5. Work hard to solve the problem of continuous supply.

Regarding optimizing industry mix and enhancing software capabilities. Xu Zhijun pointed out that he hopes to further use the improvement of software capabilities to reduce the demand for and dependence on chips, and at the same time enhance the competitiveness of products. At the end of November 2018, Huawei’s board of directors passed a decision to invest US$2 billion to improve the company’s software engineering capabilities. Now Huawei will continue to invest unswervingly to improve the entire Huawei’s software engineering capabilities within a five-year cycle. One step.

He said that the recent adjustments to the organization and cadres of the cloud and computing BG are because we believe that the core of the cloud is software, and we hope to strengthen the organization of the software and decouple it from the hardware. At the same time, increase investment and better face the future to achieve the growth of the software industry.

Xu Zhijun believes that it is necessary to continue to increase investment in the smart car parts industry, especially in autonomous driving software. “The goal is to realize driverless cars. Once realized, it will subvert almost all industries related to cars. This is also the most disruptive industrial change that can be seen in 10 years.”

In terms of 5G business, Xu Zhijun said that the most important thing is to increase the development of 5G To C, speed up the improvement of 5G To B solutions, and strengthen the large-scale commercialization of 5G To B. In terms of 5G To B, as of 2020, Huawei has participated in the practice of more than 3,000 innovative projects around the world, and signed more than 1,000 5G To B project contracts in more than 20 industries with operators and partners.

In terms of seamless experience in all scenarios, Xu Zhijun pointed out that based on HarmonyOS and HMS, Huawei will continue to enrich the two ecosystems of hardware and services together with developers and ecological partners. “It is expected that in 2021, 40+ mainstream brands and 100 million devices will become the new entrance to the HarmonyOS experience.”

More than $1 billion has been invested in the research and development of smart car parts

“Xiaomi has built cars, why doesn’t Huawei build cars?” Xu Zhijun said, this question has been asked many times, and some think that Huawei has the brand and technical capabilities and should build cars.

In fact, Huawei’s decision to “not build a car” was made carefully after years of discussion. Xu Zhijun said that Huawei began to conduct car-related research in 2012, when a car networking laboratory was established under the 2012 laboratory.

“But as research continues to move forward, the automotive industry is constantly changing, from a simple electric car to an autonomous car.” Xu Zhijun said that he had communicated with many high-level auto companies and found that the industry The industry needs Huawei’s ICT capabilities more than Huawei’s brand.

In 2018, Huawei’s management team met in Sanya and made a decision: it is clear that Huawei will not build cars and help car companies build good cars. “This decision has not changed so far.”

At present, Huawei chooses to use the “Huawei inside” approach to support car companies to build their sub-brands. “We have selected three car companies and launched three sub-brand cars, such as BAIC ARC FOX. A series of cars will be launched in the fourth quarter. We have also cooperated with Chongqing Changan and Guangzhou Automobile.”

“Investment in research and development of smart car parts this year exceeded 1 billion US dollars.” Xu Zhijun pointed out that smart car BU is an industry that Huawei has invested heavily in. It has its own sales, delivery, and other organizational capabilities. It is a function of the company in addition to consumer BG. The most complete BU.

Xu Zhijun believes that China now needs 30 million cars a year, and there will be more in the future. Even if it is only in the Chinese market, it is enough to get an average of 10,000 yuan in income from each car every year.

“At the Shanghai Auto Show in April, the “Huawei inside” cooperation mode car will provide everyone with an autonomous driving experience in a densely populated urban area. Our team told me: they are the best and can It is much better than Tesla to achieve autonomous driving without intervention for 1,000 kilometers in the urban area.”

Let Cloud BU focus on developing cloud services

Recently, Huawei has intensively adjusted its cloud business, which has aroused heated discussions in the outside world. On April 9, Huawei announced the appointment of Rotating Chairman Xu Zhijun as Chairman of Huawei Cloud, and Huawei Consumer BG CEO Yu Chengdong was appointed as Huawei Cloud CEO.

A week ago, on April 2, Huawei announced the abolition of Cloud&AI (cloud and computing) BG. On March 30, Huawei just appointed 11 members including Zhang Pingan (formerly President of Consumer Business Cloud Services) as Cloud&AI BG managers; Zhang Pingan was appointed as Cloud BU President.

We hope that it will be more independent and develop with more freedom. To increase the proportion of software and services in Huawei’s total revenue.”

Xu Zhijun proposed that 6G should be introduced to the market around 2030. “But what 6G is now, we don’t know yet.”

“The industry hopes that around 2030, like 4G and 5G, there is something to contribute to consumers and enterprises.” Xu Zhijun said that now we are mainly doing two aspects of work: First, work together with the industry to define what 6G is.
