On the afternoon of September 1, BPAA’s second applied algorithm practice model finals and algorithm summit were held in , Putuo District, . Zhang Ying, deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission, and Yao Rulin, member of the Standing Committee of the Putuo District Committee and deputy district mayor, attended the event. Experts from the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Industry Association, Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, Shanghai Internet Big Data Engineering Technology Research Center, Lingdianyoushu, Huawei and other industry experts gathered together to discuss the development of the cutting-edge algorithm industry.

Artificial intelligence is one of the three leading industries in Shanghai that implements national strategic deployment and focuses on development. In order to speed up the construction of a more internationally influential innovation and development hub for the artificial intelligence industry, Shanghai has promoted the development of the artificial intelligence industry, especially the implementation of technologies in core areas such as algorithms, starting from innovation source capabilities, digital transformation, demonstration and other aspects. Putuo District, as the first city in the city to launch digital transformation, focuses on the cultivation of industry cornerstones in the development of the artificial intelligence industry: on the basis of the "Shanghai New Generation Artificial Intelligence Algorithm Innovation Action Plan", it is exploring the formation of an environment that encourages and supports the development of the algorithm industry. policy system, and prepare for the establishment of the first Shanghai algorithm industry cluster-"Algorithm Valley" in the area.

reporters learned at the event that Putuo District has rich potential fertile ground for "promoting algorithm industrialization." The intelligent software industry has developed strongly since it was included in the four key industries of Putuo District. From January to July this year, despite the dual impact of the world economic environment and the sudden epidemic in Shanghai, the intelligent software industry still achieved a 51% year-on-year increase in district-level tax revenue, bucking the trend, and the industry accounted for more than 13%, becoming a regional important pillar industries for development. “Not only that, Putuo District has also accumulated a strong data foundation in the field of unified management of intelligent network Putuo . Nearly 4.1 billion pieces of data have been accumulated in the district big data center alone, providing important data support for future public governance algorithms. ” said Li Wenbo, director of the Putuo District Science and Technology Commission.

Putuo District released "Ten Algorithms"

Algorithms are the cornerstone of the artificial intelligence industry and have broad industry prospects. "In order to better help promote the industrialization of algorithms, the Putuo District Science and Technology Commission compiled the 'Ten Algorithms' to support the development of the algorithm industry." Li Wenbo told reporters, from supporting industrial development, reducing corporate operating costs, encouraging innovation and entrepreneurial activities, and facilitating corporate financing Provide varying degrees of financial support to enterprises related to the artificial intelligence industry in ten aspects, including supporting talent introduction and training.

’s policy support in “supporting industrial agglomeration development” has attracted the attention of enterprises. "For newly introduced or newly established algorithm companies that reach a certain scale, a one-time start-up subsidy of up to 5 million yuan will be provided. This is very attractive to me and the team, and it is a real direct support." A company manager at the finals site People said that they had exchanged WeChat messages with the staff of the Putuo District Science and Technology Commission at the meeting, and wanted to learn more about Putuo’s scientific and technological innovation resources, industrial support policies, etc.

Reporters learned from the Putuo District Science and Technology Commission that the “Algorithm Valley” will be located in Haina Town, Putuo District. "Haina Town is one of the first eight city-level demonstration zones for urban digital transformation listed in the city. Here, we will use the 'Algorithm Valley' to create a carrier suitable for the gathering of innovative projects, and attract people through the 'Algorithm Competition' A group of excellent teams have arrived," Li Wenbo said.

According to reports, this event has assembled a total of 321 algorithm teams around the world. After a month of fierce competition, gold medal teams in five major tracks, namely public, financial, medical, industrial, and commercial, were selected to compete for the grand prize. On the day of the event, after the finals competition, the project ""One Product, One Household, One Policy": Precise Algorithm Practice for Cigarette Placement" in the commercial algorithm track won the grand prize. These winning teams will not only receive financial rewards, organizational guarantees, scenario support and other policy support provided by Putuo District, but will also have the opportunity to be selected into the list of 100 algorithm products with demonstration and promotion effects in key areas of Shanghai's urban digital transformation. Model application cases of algorithms inject new momentum into accelerating the industrialization of algorithms.

On-site awards

On the day of the event, Zero Points Chairman Yuan Yue, Professor of Shanghai Jiao Tong University , Zhang Xi, Chief Scientist of the Intelligent Network Center of Shanghai Institute of Artificial Intelligence and other industry experts focused on topics such as algorithm industrialization and algorithm innovation. Delivered a keynote speech; officially released a series of artificial intelligence popular science books "Algorithms Everyone Can't Live Without - Illustrated Algorithm Applications" and "Illustrated Data Intelligence" published by Tsinghua University Press .

keynote speech

According to reports, as a global annual event in the field of artificial intelligence and one of the brand events of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, this event is hosted by the World Artificial Intelligence Conference Organizing Committee Office, supported by the Putuo District People's Government, and the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Industry The association and Zero Point are all responsible for hosting.
