According to foreign media reports, Apple's artificial intelligence research is no longer mysterious. They recently released their company's first artificial intelligence research report, and in the industry's view, this move will promote Apple's own artificial intelligence application. Very big help.
Earlier this month, Apple said it would release its own company's artificial intelligence research report, after which Apple has been secretly conducting artificial intelligence research. In less than a month, Apple fulfilled this commitment.
On December 22, Apple released the first academic paper on artificial intelligence (the document was submitted for publication on November 15). This report describes an emerging technology that is used to improve the training ability of an algorithm that trains the image recognition capabilities of an algorithm by computer-generated images rather than real images.
Apple mentioned in the report: "In machine learning research, using synthetic images (such as those from video games) to train neural networks is far more effective than using real-world images. This is because the data of synthetic images has been Marked and annotated, real-world image data requires a lot of effort and time to mark everything the computer sees, such as a tree, a dog, a bicycle. But actually using synthetic images may also There are some problems, because algorithm learning is not a perfect interpretation of every scene in the real world. Synthetic image data is usually not real enough, so that neural network learning can only understand the details in the composite image, and can not fully understand the real world. Image."
In order to solve this problem, the training of synthetic image data is improved. In this report, Apple researchers have introduced a "simulated + unsupervised" learning method that can be used to improve the authenticity of simulated images. Apple researchers use a new machine learning technique called a proactive confrontation network that has been modified to allow two neural networks to collide with each other to produce more realistic images, some similar to photo-level images.
The first author of this report is Apple researcher Ashish Shrivastava, who holds a Ph.D. in computer vision from the University of Maryland, Burke. In addition, there are co-authors in this report, including Apple employees Tomas Pfister, Oncel Tuzel, Wenda Wang, and Russ. Webb) and Josh Susskind, who co-founded a startup called EmoTIent, focused on assessing a person's emotions by observing facial expressions, which the company acquired earlier this year.
Apple’s disclosure of its first artificial intelligence report this time meant that the company took an important step. Over the years, Apple has kept its research in the field of artificial intelligence secret and has not disclosed any information. This measure has also been judged by the artificial intelligence research community. At the same time, it also affected Apple's recruitment in the field of artificial intelligence. In the trend of more open artificial intelligence research community, Apple's initiative can be said to be very important for it, it can help Apple to promote its own advanced artificial intelligence software in the entire technology industry, but also promote artificial intelligence research. Development and dissemination.
Artificial intelligence software is also becoming indispensable, it is applied to almost all applications, and artificial intelligence software is applied to the camera function of Apple's latest iPhone 7 mobile phone and its various Internet services.
