Xiaoice digital twin anchor officially launched: the overall naturalness is consistent with the real person for the first time

IT Home December 20 news, today, Xiaoice company announced a new digital twin virtual person technology, and jointly with the daily economic news, the first batch of virtual hosts applying the technology, together with the "every AI TV" officially launched. Compared with other technologies, the Xiaoice framework not only improves the overall naturalness of virtual people to a degree that is difficult to distinguish from real people, but also realizes the unmanned operation of the whole process of video collection, editing and broadcasting for the first time, helping "every AI TV" become the world's first 7x24-hour uninterrupted AI video live broadcast product.

Before the official announcement today, "per AI TV" has been quietly trial run for 70 days. In fact, the training data of the two virtual anchors came from the financial anchors N Xiaohei (N Xiaohei Finance) and N Xiaobai (per Xiaobai Fund), combined with the Xiaoice deep neural network rendering technology (Xiaoice Neural Rendering, XNR), which greatly improved the overall naturalness including faces, expressions, body movements, etc. IT Home learned that through the Xiaoice framework of small sample learning technology, the training cycle of virtual people has been shortened from the past few months to one week, solving the problem of long cycle and high cost of virtual people in one fell swoop.

Not only that, based on the overall artificial intelligence technology driven by the Xiaoice framework, the two sides have also realized the end-to-end AI automatic collection, editing and broadcasting process. From the generation of AI text of financial information to the virtual anchor that drives pre-training, combined with the dynamic drawing of synchronous scenes, and finally the complete live video streaming is generated, the whole process no longer requires manual participation.

Xiaoice was formerly known as microsoft Xiaoice team. On July 13 last year, Microsoft announced that it would spin off Xiaoice into separate entities. Xiaoice framework is one of the most complete artificial intelligence frameworks in the world with the largest amount of interaction, covering natural language processing, computer speech, computer vision and artificial intelligence content generation. Over the years, Xiaoice Framework has focused on the technology path and expanded the upper limits from technology, product to commercial application in a number of areas, such as open domain dialogue, multimodal interaction, artificial intelligence content generation, and Xiaoice deep neural network rendering technology (XNR).
