On January 17th, Baidu celebrated the 8th anniversary of its input method with a special event titled "AI Input, Opening the Era of Full-Sensory Input" in Beijing. The conference brought together employees, partners, industry media, and users to explore the future of input technology. During the event, Baidu unveiled its latest breakthrough in speech technology—the DeepPeak2 model—and introduced the new v8.0 version of the Baidu Input Method, setting the stage for the next era of AI-powered input.
At the conference, Baidu’s Vice President and Head of the AI Technology Platform System (AIG), Wang Haifeng, shared his insights on how AI innovation is driving the shift toward full-sensory input. He emphasized that Baidu has been investing in AI for eight years, not only integrating advanced technologies into its products but also sharing them with developers and partners. According to Wang, the input method serves as a gateway to AI, and the goal is to create smarter, more intuitive tools that truly understand user needs and enhance daily life.
Full-sensory input isn’t just about typing or speaking—it’s about understanding context, environment, and intent. From voice error correction to driver fatigue monitoring systems, Baidu has already integrated AI into real-world applications, making interaction with machines more natural and meaningful.
In the AI era, practical implementation is key. Baidu’s v8.0 input method introduces two groundbreaking features: “Voice Shorthand†and “AR Expression.†Voice Shorthand supports both single and multi-speaker scenarios, leveraging AI technologies like long speech recognition and voiceprint identification to distinguish different speakers. AR Expression uses facial recognition to let users control animated characters through expressions, drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese New Year paintings, such as Taohuawu and Mianzhu styles. These features make communication more engaging and culturally rich.
Baidu has been deeply involved in AI research since its early days, and its strong tech foundation has enabled it to build a comprehensive AI ecosystem, including speech, image recognition, NLP, and knowledge graphs. The company continues to push boundaries, and the event featured notable guests, including cultural figures, partners, and even Hua Shao, a well-known host. During a live challenge, Baidu's AI accurately recognized a 426-character speech in just 58 seconds, leaving the audience amazed.
As we move away from keyboards and redefine human-computer interaction, Baidu is using technology and practicality to create new, seamless ways of connecting—breaking barriers and making life easier.
