Recently, the AI voice black technology of Zebra Zhixing VENUS system was exposed. It only needs one wake-up to realize natural continuous dialogue, and the command can be interrupted at any time, and the content can be switched at will. It no longer makes the user feel like interacting with the machine, more like a human Chat with people.
According to a relevant person in the Zebra network market: “The evolved AI voice black technology will not stick to a single wake-up method, it will no longer be a cold mechanical command, and human-computer interaction will become more human-friendly. In human language, human-vehicle interaction is as natural as talking with friends.”
Mangrove Capital Partners, a well-known American investment institution, released the 2019 “Voice Technology Report”. The report, titled “Voice: Welcoming the Next Generation of Disruptors,” states that voice technology will fundamentally change the relationship between humans and machines, and predicts that the keyboard will essentially die in the next 5 to 10 years, “We no longer need to type, Instead, voice and gestures can be used.”
“Internet Queen” Mary Meeker (Mary Meeker) has repeatedly emphasized in her annual “Internet Trends Report” that voice is the most effective form of computing input and will become a new paradigm for human-computer interaction. Voice is the computing interface. The three major scenarios of its application are at home, in the car, and at hand. Faster and more convenient is where the user value lies.
Both the “Queen of the Internet” and Mangrove’s report released a strong signal: the generation that has witnessed the transformation of PCs into the mobile Internet will also experience the “voice Internet era” in the not-too-distant future. AI voice interaction is occupying every entrance in our life applications. Now, the car scene, which is regarded as the “third space”, is becoming a reality through natural continuous dialogue to complete the active interaction between people and vehicles.
As we all know, the voice interaction function has become the “soul” of intelligent networked vehicles, and has always been the focus of the Internet of Vehicles companies and OEMs. It is understood that the common in-vehicle systems currently on the market have to speak the wake-up word every time they interact, and cannot achieve natural and continuous dialogue. Compared with similar in-vehicle systems in the market, the AI voice function of the Banma Zhixing VENUS system is more intelligent, has the characteristics of human affinity and logical thinking ability, and the whole dialogue experience is more natural and smooth, which can bring users more contextualization and warmth car experience.
It is worth mentioning that the Banma Zhixing VENUS system breaks the requirements for users to speak rules, users can communicate according to their own speaking habits, and the interaction process is more humanized. For example, if the user asks “Do I need to bring an umbrella when I go out today?”, the car will broadcast today’s weather conditions. If it is necessary to inquire about tomorrow’s weather, then the user does not need to say “How is the weather tomorrow”, but only needs to say “What about tomorrow?” “. During the natural continuous dialogue between the user and the car, the semantic understanding service will remember the history of the conversation and process the user’s request in combination with the history. In this way, multiple consecutive interactions of the user can form a conversation flow. Interaction with users is also more natural.
It is understood that natural continuous dialogue is a systematic project, involving core interactive technologies such as acoustic front-end processing, voice wake-up, voice recognition, semantic understanding, dialogue management, natural language generation, and speech synthesis from the vehicle to the machine. Thanks to the heavy blessing of Alibaba Dharma Academy and the strong support of partners such as HKUST Xunfei and Speedy, the voice capability of Banma Zhixing VENUS AI has been greatly improved. Relevant people in the Zebra market said that based on the AliOS system, Banma can better combine the core voice technology capabilities with system capabilities, give full play to the advantages of the core voice technology to a greater extent, and maximize the collaboration of multiple engines to achieve The effect of “1+1>2”. The multi-core fusion voice engine, which is the first in the Zebra Zhixing VENUS industry, can achieve a balance between accuracy and false touch rate under comprehensive tuning, so that the system can set the natural continuous dialogue as the default effect, so that more users can enjoy continuous The convenience of dialogue.
The excitement is far more than that. The above-mentioned person from Banma Network also revealed: “Zebra Zhixing VENUS has achieved double progress in IQ and EQ, and can understand everything.” Specifically, Banma Zhixing VENUS AI voice skills will cover more than 500 commonly used knowledge fields, whether it is Check the weather, check stocks, or humorous jokes, you can “answer questions and answers”, which can be called the “encyclopedia” of the car industry.
It is reported that the new Banma Zhixing VENUS system will be launched in May, and it will be the first to be installed on the new Roewe RX5 PLUS.
