Technical Advantages

Baidu began investing in AI at a very early stage and has recruited top talent from around the world. It possesses unique advantages in the three key factors that drive today's AI revolution : algorithms, computing, and data. Baidu's algorithms are built on top of ultra-large-scale neural networks, trillions of parameters, and hundreds of billions samples. Baidu's computing power stems from hundreds of thousands of servers and the largest high performance GPU cluster in China. As the world's largest Chinese search engine, Baidu has access to more than a trillion webpages, billions of search queries, images, video content, and positioning data. DuerOS synthesizes the best of Baidu technologies -- speech recognition, image recognition, natural language processing, user profile, and other advanced technical skills -- to create one of the most advanced conversational computing platforms available today.
