On May 2, 2017, Tencent announced the appointment of Dr. Yu Dong, the top expert in speech recognition technology, as the deputy director of AI Lab (Artificial Intelligence Lab) and established the AI ​​Lab in Seattle, USA.
Dr. Yu Dong will be responsible for the operation and management of the Seattle AI Lab and promote Tencent's basic research in AI fields such as speech recognition and natural language understanding.
This is the third major move of Tencent in the field of artificial intelligence in recent days.
On March 19th, more than a month ago, the Go AI, which was developed by Tencent AI Lab, won the championship in the UEC Cup Go Competition in Japan. After nearly a year of low-key operation, Tencent AI Lab presented its research results for the first time.
Shortly after winning the championship, on March 23, Tencent announced the appointment of Dr. Zhang Wei, the top scientist in the field of artificial intelligence, as the director of Tencent AI Lab (Tencent Artificial Intelligence Laboratory).
Today, another general has joined the camp of Tencent artificial intelligence.
For the addition of Yu Dong, Dr. Zhang Wei, Director of Tencent AI Lab, said, “Dr. Yu Dong is an expert in speech recognition and deep learning. We are very pleased to invite Dr. Yu to join Tencent AI Lab, I believe his arrival will be greatly enhanced. Tencent AI's technical strength. We hope that Tencent AI Lab is not only a laboratory, but also a connector. By connecting the world's outstanding talents, we will continue to promote the basic research of AI and the application of more scenes, so that AI has no Nowhere."

Dr. Yu Dong, deputy director of Tencent AI Lab, said: “I am very happy to join Tencent AI Lab. Over the past ten years, Tencent has accumulated a wealth of application scenarios, massive data, powerful computing power and first-class technology talents. It is an important foundation for carrying out AI in-depth research and application, and an important reason for attracting talents from all over the world. I believe that with the establishment of Seattle AI Lab, more top talents will join Tencent AI Lab in the future to jointly promote global AI technology. development of."
In the international speech recognition research community, Yu Dong is a name that cannot be ignored.
Prior to joining Tencent, Yu Dong was the Principal Investigator of the Speech and Dialogue Group of the Microsoft Research Institute of the United States. He also served as an adjunct professor at Zhejiang University, a visiting professor at the China University of Science and Technology, and a visiting researcher at Shanghai Jiaotong University.
The context-related deep neural network-Hidden Markov Model (CD-DNN-HMM) jointly developed by Dr. Yu Dong and Dr. George Dahl and Dr. Deng Li is the first successful application of deep learning technology in large vocabulary speech recognition tasks. Their breakthrough work was awarded the 2013 IEEE Signal Processing Association (IEEE SPS) Best Paper Award, which led to the transformation of the direction of large vocabulary speech recognition, which greatly promoted the development of speech recognition technology.
At the same time, Tencent has also increased its investment in artificial intelligence in recent years. In April 2016, Tencent AI Lab was established and its headquarters is in Shenzhen. As a Tencent company-level AI lab, AI Lab focuses on the combination of basic research and application exploration, and is committed to improving AI decision-making, understanding and creativity, and providing AI technical support for Tencent's products and services.
Tencent AI Lab is led by Dr. Zhang Wei, a machine learning and big data expert. There are more than 50 AI scientists (90% Ph.D.) and more than 200 application engineers from world-renowned institutions. As the top expert in the direction of speech recognition technology, the addition of Yu Dong means that Tencent's layout on artificial intelligence will further extend to the basic research direction.
When Yu Dong joined Tencent, we had an exclusive interview with him. While understanding the head of the AI ​​experiment in Tencent, Seattle, I also had a look at Tencent's more puzzles on the layout of artificial intelligence.
