Alibaba Cloud Launches New Enterprise Solutions for the Next-Gen Workforce<\/strong><\/p>\n

AI-powered meeting assistant and updated cloud computer unveiled at Apsara Conference<\/p>\n

Manila, Philippines, November <\/strong>10<\/strong>, 2021 \u2013 <\/strong>Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, today unveiled Tingwu<\/em>, an AI-powered meeting assistant, alongside a new version of its cloud computer. The solutions are tailored for the new world of work and address surging demand from corporate users looking to work remotely with more automated support, a trend accelerated by the pandemic.<\/p>\n

An AI assistant designed for intelligent notetaking<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tingwu<\/em> is an AI-powered meeting assistant developed by the Speech Lab of Alibaba DAMO Academy (DAMO), the global research initiative by Alibaba Group. The technology works by converting the content of spoken meetings into written minutes in real time with up to 98%* accuracy, delivering an efficient experience for users.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderpinned by our end-to-end speech recognition solution, Tingwu<\/em>\u2019s accuracy and powerful features make it a perfect tool for businesses to host multi-location online and offline conferences and interviews. As enterprises continue to embrace the next generation of remote working, Tingwu<\/em> is well-positioned to transform business meetings with productive and easy-to-use automated voice transcription capabilities,\u201d said Zhijie Yan, Head of Speech Lab of Alibaba DAMO Academy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using DAMO\u2019s proprietary algorithms for analyzing voiceprints and bearings, Tingwu, <\/em>unveiled during this year\u2019s Apsara Conference, can distinguish between the voices of as many as 10 meeting participants. The assistant is equipped with a smart microphone, which can easily receive and recognize speech within a 10-meter range while reducing background noise.<\/p>\n

Tingwu<\/em>\u2019s ability to comprehend, powered by automatic speech recognition capabilities, natural language processing and deep-learning technologies, enables it to handle English, Mandarin and 14 other Chinese dialects as well as automatically correct or refine notes based on the entire context of a meeting. The assistant can also organize the minutes by keywords, generate a meeting summary and highlights and list out follow-up items.<\/p>\n

In China, Tingwu<\/em> has been integrated into DingTalk, a digital collaboration platform created by Alibaba Group, to enhance meeting efficiency on the platform by automatically transcribing conversations and sharing notes with users.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe functionality of Tingwu<\/em> will continue to expand, as we are now developing a model that can process mixed-language speech. We will also explore additional language options to prepare Tingwu<\/em> for use in large multinational corporations and overseas markets,\u201d Yan added. <\/strong><\/p>\n

An office in the cloud to work from anywhere<\/strong><\/p>\n

Building on the success of the Wuying<\/em> cloud computer for enterprises which debuted last year, Alibaba Cloud has upgraded its functionality with an all-in-one PC and a one-stop \u201cCloud Workplace\u201d solution to empower users to work from anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur upgraded cloud computer is \u2018an office in the cloud\u2019 that offers enterprise and individual users flexible remote working options, and at the same time provides them with a secure environment for network access and storage functions,\u201d said Jiangwei Jiang, Senior Researcher and General Manager of Infrastructure Products, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence.<\/strong> \u201cAs remote offices become a more common way of working around the world, we remain committed to innovating products and services that bring the benefits of cloud computing to all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The upgraded computer draws on the power of the cloud to give users access to organizational resources regardless of whether they are at home or in the office. This access comes through the \u201cCloud Workplace\u201d, an integrated solution consisting of security, network and storage tools enabling enterprises to build \u201can office in the cloud\u201d in a secure and agile way.<\/p>\n

The solution directly addresses the data security challenges faced by many IT departments when they adopt flexible working arrangements. Leveraging cloud-based data security capabilities such as firewalls, end-to-end encryption and cloud backup and recovery, the solution stores information in the cloud, rather than on a device, thereby enhancing corporate information security for both home-based and in-office workforces.<\/p>\n

Powered by the \u201cCloud Workplace\u201d, the Wuying<\/em> family of products now consists of the latest all-in-one PC, the previously launched card and box terminals and a Desktop-as-a Service (DaaS) application, which allows corporate users to connect to the cloud computer from any device regardless of the operating system installed. This gives corporates the flexibility to utilize existing resources and the scalability to support business expansion, allowing them to tailor IT infrastructure based on their unique demands.<\/p>\n

During the Apsara Conference, Alibaba Cloud also announced a program to help narrow the digital gap in China. The program will provide cloud computers to 10,000 schools in underdeveloped areas to help build the technical foundation to cultivate digital talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
