The investments made by Microsoft in the field of ‘ artificial intelligence and software machine learning are not a mystery, but not (yet) so common to find in their application in areas beyond the terrain of simple concept high-tech, resulting in other undoubtedly the most popular, such as television.
Xiaoice is the name of the machine learning software developed by Microsoft, is presented as the First TV host (virtual) led by AI algorithms . His debut took place during the Chinese program, “Morning News” in which he edited the ‘ corner of the news about the weather.
What you can see in the video below – the language, unfortunately, does not help to appreciate the quality of the performance of Xiaoice – not only introduced a special effect to make more pleasant the ‘exhibition news: the same weather report, in fact, is the result of the analysis of the data stored in the cloud made by Xiaoice. The software also hit for the ‘ accuracy of speech synthesis , which in specific tests on the naturalness of the language, got a score of 4:32 on a scale of 5 (for a benchmark the average score achieved by humans equals 4.76).
Following the video showing Xiaoice work:
Before being used in a television trasmisione, Xiaoice was employed as personal assistant app for advanced messaging and Line wechat, and the social network Weibo. Line in the bot has assumed the features of a character named Rinna, able to respond to user requests in a “smart”, thanks to artificial intelligence algorithms developed by Redmond.
L ‘ debut on TV Xiaoice demonstrates the potential of machine learning software, to be increasingly popular and refined in the coming years.
