The 2022 Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Award was officially announced recently. The project jointly submitted and completed by Taoyun Technology and relevant units - "Key Technology and Industrialization of Graphic and Text Recognition in Multilingual Complex Scenes" won the Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Progress Award first prize. Dr. Liu Qingsheng, chairman of Taoyun Technology, is the main person who completed the project.
The Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Award is named after Mr. Wu Wenjun, an outstanding scientist in the field of intelligent science and technology in my country and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is a science and technology award established by relying on social forces. It is known as the "highest award in China's intelligent science and technology". The award-winning image-text recognition technology refers to the intelligent analysis and processing of document images, natural scene pictures, etc., and the automatic detection, recognition and analysis of text and layout structure and other information. This award once again demonstrates the breakthrough and innovation of Taoyun Technology in image-text recognition technology. As a national high-tech enterprise that combines artificial intelligence with children, Taoyun Technology has maintained industry-leading core technologies such as children's voice recognition, children's voice synthesis, and children's semantic understanding for many years. The company is well aware that images carry more information than sounds, and only voice plus images can better accompany and help children. Therefore, in the field of children's smart hardware, Taoyun Technology has laid out graphic and text technology since the birth of Alpha Egg.
4 years ago, Alpha Egg 2.0 realized that when children open the picture book, they can read the story of the picture book to the child; the child points to the words in the book, and the Alpha Egg 2.0 can tell the child what the word means, how to pronounce it, and even how to compose it Words, sentences and translations.
In recent years, through in-depth research on the learning scenarios of contemporary family children, Taoyun Technology has deeply combined the image-text recognition technology that has been cultivated for many years with its superior voice technology and professional system content, and launched the Alpha egg AI dictionary pen series products. It can not only accurately identify complex and diverse symbolic content such as mixed handwritten and printed textbooks, various formulas, etc., but also realizes the application of image-text recognition technology in learning scenarios through functions such as checking difficult questions in 5 subjects, identifying and correcting English compositions, and helping students. Check for deficiencies and make up for omissions to improve learning efficiency. In January this year, Taoyun Technology launched the Alphadan AI Dictionary Pen T20, which "scans out knowledge points and learns from point to surface". It has a built-in AI knowledge map learning method, which supports comprehensive learning of 2 languages, difficult questions of 5 subjects, and simultaneous query of knowledge points of 9 subjects.
Among them, the image-text recognition technology can help T20 support difficult queries in five subjects including Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, and chemistry. When children encounter complex formulas when answering, T20 can quickly and accurately identify them, and efficiently analyze and correct the answer results. At the same time, using the T20 to scan the question does not mean taking a photo to search for the question, it will only output the knowledge points behind the question, check the explanation of the knowledge points, and you will not see the answer. It can be said that the application of this technology provides efficient support for children to find a weak point behind the homework and solve a class of weak points.
In 2021, Taoyun Technology launched the Alpha Egg AI Dictionary Pen T10, which can not only scan but also teach, opening up the path for children to learn knowledge from shallow knowledge to in-depth understanding. In teaching students to correct compositions, this dictionary pen adopts the machine-assisted marking system for the high school entrance examination, which means that the composition correction level of T10 can be comparable to the high school entrance examination marking ability.
After the child finishes writing the English composition, the T10 scans the handwritten composition and immediately outputs a correction report, including revision suggestions, article highlights, and article evaluation. In terms of revision suggestions, it can automatically check knowledge points such as irregular writing, part of speech errors, word usage, and verb forms, mark wrong sentences, and give accurate revision suggestions. For well-used vocabulary and sentences, T10 can also automatically mark them out, conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the article as a whole, and score separately according to the usage of words and sentences, helping children save time and improve efficiency in writing exercises. In 2020, Taoyun Technology launched the industry's first Alpha egg dictionary pen Q3 for Chinese-English bilingual learning.
It packs 20 primary and secondary school reference books into a pen, and with the support of OCR technology, the word search results are as fast as 0.5 seconds, which is enough to accurately identify any textbooks and readers mixed with handwriting and printing, so that children can immerse themselves in learning without interrupting their thinking. To help children learn more efficiently and grow happily, only the family scene is not enough. As an important part of home education, the child care and education scene also needs the core technology of artificial intelligence to serve it. Through the "artificial intelligence + preschool education" solution created by Taoyun Technology in recent years, more and more children have become "reading buddies" with AI picture book reading robots. With the support of graphic-text recognition technology, the robot enables children to engage in interactive multilingual reading activities such as flipping and finger reading, making reading fun. At present, this technology has been used regularly in more than 1,500 kindergartens and nearly 100,000 teachers and students.
In the footsteps of climbing the core technology at the source, Taoyun Technology has never stopped. Winning the Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Science and Technology Progress Award this time is not only a reward for Taoyun Technology's continuous innovation in image-text recognition technology, but also an affirmation of the continuous application of artificial intelligence technology and the creation of value. In the future, Taoyun Technology will implement the innovation-driven development strategy, continue to deepen breakthroughs in core technologies, create a series of children's artificial intelligence products, and long-term practice the corporate mission of "all for children to learn and grow happily".
