Baidu AICA: Help accelerate industrial AI talents, reshape large models, and lead industrial applications

The seventh graduation ceremony of the AICA Chief AI Architect Training Program organized by the National Engineering Research Center for Deep Learning Technology and Applications co-founded by Baidu was held on October 28. A total of 88 students obtained the AI Architect certification. To date, AICA has successfully trained 410 leading industrial AI talents. At the same time, about one-third of the 7th batch graduates focused on the topic of industrial application of large models and achieved preliminary results. Baidu Wenxin large model has been widely used in finance, manufacturing, energy, transportation and other industries, providing acceleration for the process of industrial intelligence

At the graduation ceremony, Wu Tian, vice president of Baidu Group and deputy director of the National Engineering Research Center for Deep Learning Technology and Applications, said in his speech that AICA students come from all walks of life. Artificial intelligence innovation leader in various industries. Since the seventh issue, Baidu has remained true to its original intention and hopes to apply AI technology to all walks of life. Therefore, Baidu will continue to provide services in three aspects: first, provide the most useful and adaptable tools and platforms, including AI infrastructure such as the Feipiao deep learning platform and Wenxin large model; second, continue to provide a rich and diverse Industrial practice cases and methodologies; third, provide a platform for continuous learning and exchange. Baidu hopes to work hand in hand with AICA students to jointly serve the national strategy, serve social development, promote the integrated development of artificial intelligence and industry, and contribute to a technologically powerful country

As the first AI architect training class in the big model era, AICA 7th During this period, in-depth practice was carried out to promote the industrial application of large models and a large number of groundbreaking results were cultivated. Ma Yanjun, general manager of Baidu's AI technology ecosystem, pointed out that this batch of students has just experienced the rapid development of large models for half a year and has become a pioneer in the native era of AI.

It is reported that the seventh phase of AICA has undergone a comprehensive upgrade and reshaping of the training model. More than 50% of the course contents such as large-scale model cognition and skills have been added; the first cooperation with the business school has improved students' systematic thinking ability; representatives from industry, academia and research circles have been specially hired to form an external expert group to expand students' horizons. At the graduation ceremony, it was also announced that the selection of the "Galaxy Industry Application Innovation Award" has been officially launched. All students' projects have participated in the selection

AICA's 7th issue has nearly 30 The trainees used Wen Xinyiyan and other large-scale model technologies to overcome pain points in front-line business scenarios in the industry and create smarter and more efficient solutions for them. For example:

In terms of intelligent decision-making, in view of the difficulty in grading power grid equipment defects in the power industry, students from the State Grid Intelligence Research Institute integrated the cognitive ability of Wen Xin Yiyan and based on power cognition The large model enables rapid retrieval of relevant standards, improves knowledge traceability, and assists maintenance personnel in improving judgment and decision-making efficiency.

A student from China National Nuclear Equipment Corporation made a discovery in the field of text generation and realized the need to efficiently generate a large number of professional documents in the industry. Based on Wen Xinyiyan's ability, he launched a "feasibility study report generation" program for a company in his group. This solution can generate the full text of the light resource analysis chapter of the photovoltaic project feasibility study report with one click. At present, the program has been in stable trial operation for two months, and is continuously expanding the coverage of text generation

In terms of intelligent creation, large state-owned banking companies ensure that all types of information are synchronized across the bank at the first time , requiring staff to complete press release writing efficiently. Students from ICBC gradually optimized model capabilities based on PaddleNLP and Wenxinyiyan technologies, solved difficulties such as errors in name generation and many hallucinations in content generation, and created a writing assistance application.

The event also presented awards such as Outstanding Student Award, Special Contribution Award, Outstanding Lecturer Award, Outstanding Instructor Award, Outstanding Group Award, Outstanding Teaching Assistant, and Outstanding Flight Assistant.

During the on-site speech, Guo Yuancheng, the AI platform architect of BMW Brilliance IT, shared his experience on behalf of outstanding students. He believes that in the process of industrial application of large models, it is crucial to form a harmonious and mutually supportive ecosystem between developers, enterprises and technology companies. He lamented that in the past he could only study alone and it was difficult to make progress. However, during this AICA study, he received guidance from Baidu lecturers and teaching assistants, mutual inspiration and exchanges with other students, and great help from Baidu Feipiao, Wenxin and other teams, so he made rapid progress

Experts, lecturers, teaching assistants and others are becoming AICA’s unique and valuable assets. They support a good atmosphere of communication, mutual assistance and co-creation, and promote the continuous prosperity of the large-scale model application ecosystem. Sun Ke, chairman of Baidu Smart Cloud Technology Committee and chief architect of Baidu Smart Cloud Application Product Center, won the "Outstanding Lecturer Award" and the "Special Contribution Award". He provided specific and actionable guidance to AICA students to help them establish architectural ideas for high-quality large-scale model application solutions

The School of Management of Fudan University, also the winner of the "Special Contribution Award", It is one of the first batch of business school partners of AICA. Fudan School of Management cooperates with Baidu Feipiao to provide high-quality teaching resources and activity support for AICA courses, providing students with a broader platform for learning and practice.

The AICA Chief AI Architect Training Program aims to cultivate influential high-level AI talents who can drive business development and promote intelligent upgrades. Since its inception in 2019, the program has delivered 410 AI architects to various industries. Currently, Baidu is working with students to actively explore the advantages and potential of large models, which not only promotes the digital transformation of more industries, but also injects new vitality into the promotion and application of artificial intelligence technology in various industries

Artificial Intelligence The era of intelligence has arrived, and innovative applications of large-scale models are developing rapidly. Only by deeply integrating large-scale model technology with specific businesses and industries can its value be truly realized. Baidu AICA will continue to focus on cultivating large-scale model talents, providing support for developers, cultivating talents for enterprises, paving the way for all walks of life, and providing support for industrial intelligent upgrading and social development
