Chapter 689 Machine Translation
After chatting about this topic for a while, Xu Liang left.
Jiang Xiaoyang didn't live at home either, so he went with him, making Liu Jihong complain.
Most of them have a husband and forget about their parents.
Back on the top floor of Hanhua Center, the two of them had the 2,000-square-meter house to themselves. After taking a shower, Jiang Xiaoyang went to bed early.
She didn't stay up late before becoming pregnant, but went to bed earlier after becoming pregnant.
I usually go to bed at 9:30 and fall asleep at 10:00.
Get up around six in the morning.
Take another half-hour break at noon.
Energetic for the day.
Xu Liang didn't get that much sleep. Not only was he in good health after his rebirth, he recovered quickly and was full of energy.
Xu Liang nodded.
“The North American company reported that it will most likely be launched globally in November.”
Although he has changed a lot of the original history, this little cutie still has its strong inertia. .
“Has the superior promised to develop satellites for us?” Xie Wen asked.
"You personally deliver it to the city hall and hand it over to Liu Shucheng."
Lu Hui nodded and left.
Xu Liang responded.
The next day Jiang Xiaoyang went to work as usual, and he went to Hongmeng headquarters.
Sleep four or five hours at night and take a nap at noon. One day is enough.
"Okay."
Xie Wen took out a piece of information from his safe, Xu Liang flipped through it briefly and handed it to Lu Hui.
I processed some work emails, and after early morning, I took a quick shower before going to bed.
She has been with Xu Liang several times and knows him well.
Xie Wen smiled and agreed, "Mr. Xu, Google will go public tomorrow."
“It went very smoothly, there are only a few minor issues that need to be modified.”
“Did the open beta of “World of Warcraft” go well?”
“The first Hongmeng company went public, I am a parent. Of course you have to be there," Xu Liang said with a smile.
“Mr.
Listing number 0778.
The satellite they need is worth nearly 100 million US dollars each, and the profit is huge.
“When will it go public?”
The cost is very high, and it does not have high growth potential like the Internet, and competition is fierce, so the valuation multiples are inevitably affected.
The summary is that both red and blue are high, and recovery is extremely fast.
Google rings the bell on Nasdaq.
“By the way, Mr. Xu, Netcom is about to go public, are you going?”
Hongmeng Netcom’s road show has ended, and Xiangjiang’s listing time is scheduled for September 15th.
"Not yet. I just sent the information to inquire. It is not certain whether it will be successful in the end."
The total share capital is 1 billion shares, 200 million shares are placed, of which 120 million new shares are sold. 80 million shares were cashed out by investors.
Google's valuation in this life has been affected, with only 14 billion US dollars, almost half less than the 23 billion in the previous life.
He has been coveting this classic game masterpiece with over 10 million peak payers and over 10 billion US dollars in total revenue.
The main business of Wangke is Internet cafes, with retail and advertising.
August 19, 2004, that is tomorrow.
Google's time to market remains unchanged.
"Lao Xie, give me a copy of the satellite data you prepared last time."
Xu Liang nodded, "Keep an eye on it and don't make any mistakes."
But because it was robbed by Bing I went to a large foreign market.
“Hopefully, if we can do it, we will be able to contribute to the domestic aerospace industry.”
Xie Wen agreed.
"How is our lawsuit with Google going?"
The price per share is HK$62, and the valuation multiple is 20 times.
"Still fighting. Google is like a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off no matter how hard you shake it off." Xie Wen said helplessly.
“The courts in the United States are so stupid that there will be no results in two or three years.”
If you lose the first instance, you can also appeal, from the intermediate court to the Supreme Court, plus The process of intermediate evidence. It's like an old woman's foot wrap, smelly and long.
"Fortunately, we didn't suffer any loss." Xie Wen said with a smile.
“Yahoo’s Yang Zhiyuan doesn’t think so.”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The lawsuit between Hongmeng and Google has become known to the world due to Google’s deliberate publicity, which has greatly enhanced Google’s brand awareness.
Similarly, Hongmeng has become well-known in the English-speaking market, at least its popularity has greatly increased.
Under the squeeze of both parties, other search engines around the world either went bankrupt or were acquired.
Yahoo search originally accounted for 45% of the English search market, but now only about 30% remains.
Microsoft's MSN is also in dismal business. Even with its powerful system software and forced installation, its market share in the English market is less than 7%, which is not as good as Hongmeng Bing, which has not made much effort in the English market.
The only one who can still maintain a piece of pure land is Yandex, the bear. The competition between the two sides perfectly illustrates what it means to fight between the boss and the second child, but it is the third child who dies.
Xu Liang looked at the time.
“It’s noon, let’s go and have dinner together.”
Xie Wen nodded and followed.
The two of them didn't go out either. Hongmeng's restaurant tasted good and had a rich variety, which was much better than ordinary buffet restaurants.
After finishing lunch and returning to the office to rest briefly, Xu Liang came to Hongmeng Research Institute.
Hongmeng Research Institute occupies half of the floors of Wangjing Building, which has now been renamed ‘Hongmeng Center’. The number of people has exceeded 1,300, including not only top domestic talents, but also Chinese elites hired with high salaries from abroad.
Hongmeng spends nearly 4 billion Chinese coins on Hongmeng Research Institute every year.
Currently there are three main departments.
One is the ‘Hongmeng Mobile System’.
The second is big data and cloud computing developed by Pangu Company.
The third is ‘artificial intelligence’.
In addition to these three major research directions, there are also some independent R&D departments, such as programming languages, office software, etc.
The three major departments each have different research and development directions.
For example, under the "artificial intelligence" department, there are machine translation, intelligent speech, image recognition, object recognition, and more advanced virtual reality.
Under big data and cloud computing there are databases, data algorithms, cloud platforms, etc.
There are even more Hongmeng phones.
"Dr. Tang, I saw in your work report that machine translation has made a big breakthrough?"
Tang Xiaoou smiled and nodded.
“Through everyone’s efforts, in terms of machine translation, we have reduced the error rate by half and doubled the accuracy.”
“Because of big data?”
"Yes. Because of the massive data provided by Hongmeng Bing, Yihaodian, etc., we adopted a six-element data model. In contrast, other research teams that lack data support can only use three-element models.
A good three-gram model can accurately construct the collocation between phrases and simple sentence components in English sentences, while the six-gram model can construct the collocation between the entire clause and complex sentence components
It is equivalent to directly translating these fragments from one language to another, and the accuracy is greatly improved."
Looking at the excited Tang Xiaoou, Xu Liang couldn't help but say.
"Dr. Tang, what is the difference between the six-element model and the three-element model?"
"To put it simply, the N-gram model considers the associations before and after N words, the six-gram model considers 6 words, and the currently commonly used ternary model only considers 3 words."
"Artificial Intelligence In the field of research, are many people using the six-element model? ”
“The six-element model is not a new concept, but without sufficient data support, the accuracy of the five-element or six-element model is very poor. The translation was of no help.”
Xu Liang understood.
“Can I understand it this way? If there is enough data, will there be a seven-element model or even a nine-element model in the future?”
"Theoretically yes, but currently we are not able to provide such a huge amount of data."
Xu Liang nodded. The amount of data is not enough now, but when we enter the mobile data era, the amount of data will be geometric. promote.
"Mr. Xu, I hope to represent the company in the machine translation evaluation held by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the United States next February."
Xu Liang frowned slightly. , "Why should you participate? It has international influence?"
"Yes. NIST is the Everest in the field of machine translation. Regardless of universities or companies, as long as they have certain research on machine translation, they can participate.
The University of Southern California, IBM Watson Labs, University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University, and Germany's Asia Deep Institute of Technology, all of which are institutions with outstanding strength and reputation in the field of machine translation, will participate.
If you can get a ranking, it will not only greatly enhance the company's reputation, but also increase its attraction to senior talents. ”
Xu Liang nodded slightly.
Although Hongmeng is developing well, it is still not attractive enough to top talents.
For example, Tang Xiaoou in front of him, the MIT Hongmeng invited him many times and did not hesitate to pay a high salary. In addition, he really wanted to return to China, so he was finally hired from the U.S. Undersea Robotics Laboratory
Originally, they wanted to poach Kai-Fu Lee, but he is now the global vice president of Microsoft and looks down on the position of head of a research laboratory under Hongmeng.
However, as Hongmeng continues to develop and agrees to give options, the other party has relaxed.
If Hongmeng can make greater achievements in the field of technology, I believe it will be easier to talk about it.
"Mr. Xu, we do not receive R&D funds from the US government, we have no obligation to disclose research details, and we will not leak the company's technology." Tang Xiaoou said quickly.
Xu Liang nodded.
"I agreed to this, but there is one thing. You can't go to this meeting."
"Why, I..."
Xu Liang interrupted him, his expression said seriously.
"Dr. Tang, you are our company's top scientific research talent, and you are developing the most cutting-edge field of artificial intelligence, so I will do my best to ensure your personal safety."
Although he was touched by the other party's concern, Tang Xiaoou couldn't help but said.
"Mr. Xu, are you making too much of a fuss?"
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst."
Xu Liang handed over a stack of information.
Tang Xiaoou turned over a page, with a look on his face several times.
The above are news about the accidental death of some top scientists.
There are Mao Xiong, China, and even France and Germany.
Regardless of whether these deaths were caused by Uncle Sam, they did shock Tang Xiaoou greatly.
The attitude also softened.
After all, everyone is afraid of death.
