"Hello everyone, my name is Zhao Yuan. I am a friend of Mr. Du Mingkang and an investor of Infinite Vision Company this time." The first time everyone saw Zhao Yuan was on a video call. They were a little surprised that this investor was so young.

Du Mingkang didn't say much, because he is not a real person in the real world and needs to maintain a sense of distance from everyone to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"I am very optimistic about the future of Infinite Vision. I believe that we can become a unicorn or even a leader in computer vision technology in the world!"

"In the future, if you have any questions, you can send me an email, whether it is technical or work. As long as I have time, I will reply." After Du Mingkang's speech, everyone applauded politely.

They are still very unfamiliar with investors, but none of these matters. The most important thing now is that Infinite Vision is about to officially start operating!

As Luo Xiaoguang said, computer vision technology includes many aspects: image processing, biometrics, video editing, etc., almost all Internet behaviors need to be used.

The most core of these technologies is provided by Du Mingkang. He became a data life and learned so much fresh knowledge in the high-dimensional laboratory of Galaxy Civilization. It is just a breeze to do this.

Of course, Du Mingkang did not directly release all the technical information, but established an internal forum for the company, which used guidance methods to allow these technicians to learn and create.

This can not only guide the direction, but also cultivate the abilities of employees.

Infinite Vision has many directions to develop, but the first thing they have to do is to develop a short video software. The reason is very simple. Du Mingkang competes with Wu Bowen, letting him know what it means to be too smart in the organization, which will ruin Qingqing's life!

...

"Before the rise of short video entertainment in China, short video entertainment abroad was already showing a boom! Short video content in several minutes or even dozens of seconds on various social media is very popular with users."

"This video model is refined, short, and convenient for users to view anytime and anywhere. There is no doubt that it will become the most important part of future video entertainment! Especially the short video social software nowadays, compared with traditional video websites or platforms like Weibo, it is more pure and can attract users' likes!"

In the magic capital of China, in a majestic commercial building, Wu Bowen, the founder of Baishi Company, is conducting a corporate lecture. In the conference room, there are several big shots in the investment industry.

It has been two months since Baishi Company was established, Baishi's APP, Baishi Short Video, was officially launched and immediately gained a lot of popularity.

Now, Wu Bowen is preparing to carry out the second round of financing and make a big move.

"Mr. Wu, I have a doubt." said an investor below.

"Mr. Zhang, please say." Wu Bowen looked at him politely. Mr. Zhang is a big shot in the Chinese investment industry, with assets of tens of billions and he especially likes to invest in Internet projects.

"According to my corporate information database, I can also see that the rise of social short videos is unstoppable. But foresighted investors can see this. To be honest, Baishi's entry is a bit late! Leading Internet companies have already entered the market, such as Weishi launched by Penguin, Miaopai from Sina, and Meitu's Meipai. Their data and market performance are very good."

"I hope you can give me a reason, why does Baishi compete with them? After all, these companies have more advantages in terms of hard power and soft power."

"I agree with most of your views." Wu Bowen pushed his glasses and smiled confidently, "But there is one thing I don't agree with."

"Tell me," the investor was not angry and waited patiently for him to give a speech.

"In terms of hard power, Baishi is not inferior to these competitors at all!" Wu Bowen said, "The core of Baishi is an ultra-high intelligent computer vision technology. In terms of image and video processing, our technology is definitely the best in the industry... Here I can demonstrate a few small functions, such as makeup."

Wu Bowen used the super-large display screen in the conference room to show the "makeup technique" of the video software. In the picture, a girl's selfie video appears. Just a small operation can enlarge or shrink her face, become fat and thin, or add special makeup such as eyebrows, beard, clothing, etc.

These processes are very smooth and even a bit funny, but this is exactly the effect that investors want. The entertainment attributes of social short videos are definitely one of its core selling points. Such technical effects are the key to exerting their entertainment attributes.

"Our computer vision technology also includes facial recognition technology! On human faces, our computers can recognize up to 10 million key points. Through this technology, we can beautify, ugliness, and even make face-changing effects. This function is very popular among young users today. I have data here to show..."

Wu Bowen's demonstration was very successful. News came that day that Baishi Company's second round of financing had been successful, with funds reaching 300 million Huaxia coins!

Baishi Short Video has become a rising star in the field of social short videos, with a very rapid development momentum.

At the same time, in the small Infinity Vision Company, their team has just made the first short video software, "Feiyin".

"There are too many internal testing problems!" In the data world, Du Mingkang is also working in his hut.

He found that even as a data life, mastering knowledge and applying knowledge are two different things. Just like an artificial intelligence algorithm, in order to achieve the same goal, different algorithms operate and the results are completely different.

Now Du Mingkang discovered that Feiyin's actual effect did not meet his own ideas.

He sat in front of the workbench and snapped his fingers. A smartphone immediately appeared on the desktop, with only one software inside, an internal beta version of Feiyin.

Du Mingkang opened Feiyin and found some short videos inside, all of which were shot by staff from Infinite Vision Company, such as their daily life and work.

"Image, beauty, beautification, ugliness, biometrics, image semantic segmentation, video migration... these technologies have been done well, why do I always feel that something is a bit bad?"

Using the technology he provides, this short video can make ordinary people look like handsome men and beautiful women, and can also make handsome men and beautiful women look like clowns. Various video effects can be added, easy to edit, etc. The functions are very seemingly and convenient, but Du Mingkang always feels that something is missing.

He repeatedly brushed the materials in the software several times, and the photos in them were so boring and boring. To be honest, most of these materials were shot by programmers, and the content was boring in order to complete the task.

However, there is a guy who delivers couriers to their company in the material, and the short videos he took are very interesting.

"By the way, algorithm, algorithm! In addition to computer vision technology, there is also an intelligent algorithm that can understand users!" Du Mingkang's inspiration flashed and finally thought of what was missing.

He previously focused on computer vision technology and ignored the intelligent algorithms inside the software. The algorithm was originally made by the company programmers themselves. It was very simple. It was nothing more than tagging video content, such as "food", "beauty", "celebrity", etc., and then judged whether the user liked it based on the user's stay time, likes and comments, etc. If he liked it, he pushed more, and if he didn't like it, he would reduce recommendations.

To be honest, this algorithm is too ordinary. With extensive labels, it cannot determine the user's like, and it may backfire and make users tired of this software. What Du Mingkang needs to do is to write a "intelligent" algorithm that can understand the user and accurately know what he likes, whether it is the person or thing in the video, or a certain viewpoint, a certain shooting method, etc., while not allowing him to do it too casually, so that he can have a sense of freshness every day, and he can also take the user to watch the video, understand the world, learn knowledge... Let the algorithm become the user's confidant and teacher!
Chapter completed!
