Artificial intelligence is the most popular technology in the current technology field, and many technology companies have invested huge research and development power in artificial intelligence. As a leader in the field of chips, MediaTek has also announced its own artificial intelligence strategy. On January 30, Lin Zongyao, the CTO of MediaTek, introduced the latest achievements of MediaTek in the AI ​​field and the future deployment in the AI ​​field. .
Four advantages of terminal AI:
Four major improvements in artificial intelligence from the cloud to the edge
Since 2012, most AI applications have been focused on the cloud for development. AI from the cloud to the terminal, there will be more opportunities, there will be a better experience. The advantages of terminal AI are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Responsive. Many of the current smart devices are collected by the terminal device and then transmitted back to the cloud for processing, and then transmitted back to the terminal device. In systems such as in-vehicle systems that require rapid response, information processing such as terminal-cloud-terminals is slow, and terminal intelligence can provide timely system feedback.
privacy protection. The terminal AI does not upload user data to the cloud, which can protect the user's privacy.
Reduce data transfer. Perform AI processing locally. One is to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted and reduce the cost of data transmission. Second, when the user network is not good, it can still bring a good user experience.
Reduce power consumption. With terminal AI, device power consumption can be effectively reduced compared to cloud AI. For devices with high power requirements, the significance is very significant.
For the reasons described above, terminal AI is becoming an important development trend of smart devices. Lin Zongyao said: "As a mobile phone chip giant, MediaTek, MediaTek will focus on terminal intelligence investment in the future."
Under the terminal AI trend, MediaTek's AI deployment
A complete AI system is like a person: it needs the brain, it needs the eyes to observe, and the mouth needs to transmit information. The complementary technology of the entire inner circle AI core with the outer ring constitutes an AI platform.
After the AI ​​platform, you can consider what kind of products to apply, such as smart phones, digital TV, AP Router, VAD, IoT devices, car and so on. MediaTek's AI strategy is to layout from the basic AI engine, with its own traditional strengths: ISP, connecTIvity, wi fi and other technologies, applied to MediaTek's product line.
At present, IC design companies all over the world have few companies that can own these technologies at the same time. At the same time, with these technologies, and with so many product lines at the same time, only MediaTek is currently available.
Introduction to the NeuroPilot platform
Based on the above considerations, MediaTek launched a NeuroPlot artificial intelligence platform that integrates the hardware product AI processor with software services to provide users with a complete artificial intelligence solution.
Improve the computing efficiency of the terminal AI. MediaTek's NeuroPilot AI platform makes terminal devices more efficient and feasible when executing and operating AI applications.
Enhance product features with AI. MediaTek's chip platform leverages AI technology to enhance product performance and functionality, primarily for facial recognition, facial beautification, scene detection, gesture detection, system performance, and speech recognition.
Support for mainstream AI architecture. MediaTek's AI solution supports existing AI architectures on the market, including Google's TensorFlow, Caffe, Amazon's MXNet, and Sony's NNabla. In terms of operating systems, MediaTek supports both Android and Linux systems.
Provide a complete software and hardware solution. In addition to providing artificial intelligence processors, MediaTek will also introduce the NeuroPilot SDK, which will allow developers to more easily use MediaTek chips to provide AI applications and features for consumer devices. At the same time, the NeuroPlot artificial intelligence platform will provide complete API support covering the low-end and mid-range.
Therefore, the NeuroPilot AI platform is a cross-platform, cross-architecture, cross-operating system platform, so users only need to write code once, it can be used under different platforms and operating systems.
Advantages of MediaTek AI platform
Being able to have so many technologies at the same time, and then can be applied to so many product lines at the same time, look at the company of MediaTek. In addition to providing the most basic AI functions, the platform also supports these product lines with these technologies. Developers can multiplex code into other product lines with one programming time to improve development efficiency.
More open, the NeuroPilot platform supports both high- and low-level APIs, which can accommodate customer portability and personalization.
Provide customized solutions for partners based on MediaTek's heterogeneous capabilities. The NeuroPlot artificial intelligence platform can access all AI computing powers such as CPU, GPU, APU (the chip used by MediaTek for AI computing, not limited to deep learning algorithms), so that the terminal device needs CPU, GPU, APU, etc. Whenever a chip performs an operation, it will implement a fast operation.
