today (1 0 8th) , former Microsoft Microsoft vice president, Microsoft’s global excellence engineer Yao Qi ( 1 span1) , Became the Chief Technology Officer of Xiaoice Company. According to media reports, Yao Qi will lead the Xiaoice technical team to promote the development of a complete iterative artificial intelligence Xiaoice framework based on natural language processing, and expand Xiaoice in open domain dialogue Leading advantages in intelligent artificial intelligence, multi-modal interaction, super natural speech, artificial intelligence content generation, and diversity of AI beings.
According to public information, Yao Qi is a top technology expert in natural language processing, machine learning, deep conversation, and user behavior prediction span_span2 span2. He joined Microsoft in 1997 at , successively is responsible for MSN search, Bing core search, content recommendation algorithm, deep learning platform, event prediction algorithm and system development and team management , etc. Work . Among them, from 2015 to 2016 , Yao Qi led the R&D team to develop the fourth and fifth generations of Xiaoice.
From a technical point of view, Wisdom Bud's latest data shows that Yao Qi participated in the research and development of two patent applications as an inventor during his tenure at Microsoft. They were authorized invention patents " for Generic proxy" search engine partner represents the general agent of search engine partners ” and invention patent ” ” ” ”_span_span2” _span_span2 ”for search span_span Ranking model 32 adaptations . These two patents were filed in 2 002 and 2 008 respectively. The technical fields involved are mainly search engines.
Although Yao Qi has been at the core of the technical team at Microsoft for a long time,But Microsoft may not register Yao Qi as an inventor on the file when it submits a patent application for every technology it participates in. Therefore, the above patent data is mainly related to the company's internal decision-making.
It’s worth noting that although Yao Qi only registered two patents as an inventor during his tenure at Microsoft, one of them was " " " " No.: US20090276414A1 ) has been cited more than 9 times 0 times, F acebook, Samsung , and other well-known patents have been cited in the patents of this company.
Figure 1: The number of patent citations
The abstract of this patent shows that provides search results for certain Internet search domains (for example, used to resolve certain Internet search results) The limited availability of human-labeled training data (for example, languages other than English, within certain date ranges, corresponding to queries over a certain length, etc.). More specifically, the ranking model trained on the intra-domain data is adjusted based on the out-of-domain data, in which a small amount of human-labeled training data is available (for example, query /URL pair) (for example,Languages other than English), where a large amount of human-labeled training data (for example, query/URL pairs) is available (for example, English). Therefore, even if the resulting adapted intra-domain ranking model is used to provide search results in the context of intra-domain data (for example, non-English), search results will be improved because they are affected by abundance , although -domain, human-labeled training data.
