The machine intelligence team of Dharma Institute has developed into an AI R&D team with 10 IEEE Fellow and more than 20 famous university professors. The technology from the intelligent laboratory of Dharma Institute is also becoming an important support behind Ali's tens of billions of services provided to/kloc-0.5 billion people around the world every day.
Ali is not a company with a particularly early layout of artificial intelligence in China, but with the growth of Dharma Institute in the past two years, it has reached a new stage in the depth of artificial intelligence technology layout and the breadth of application. In particular, the machine intelligence laboratory is now the export port of core AI technology in the entire Ali economy.
Research and development achievements of AI technology in Dharma Institute
Ali's AI technology research and development direction has covered many directions such as voice intelligence, language technology, machine vision and decision intelligence. On the day of the interview, the machine intelligence team of Dharma Institute also announced the breakthrough of its self-developed speech synthesis technology-KAN-TTS.
Lei Ming, a senior algorithm expert in the voice laboratory of Dharma Institute, said that this breakthrough can greatly improve the similarity between synthesized speech and real speech, and reduce the customization cost of speech synthesis by more than 10 times. In addition, the similarity between the synthesized speech of commercial systems in the industry and the original recording is usually between 85% and 90%, while the synthesized speech based on KAN-TTS technology can improve the data to more than 97%.
