Former Head Of Tencent X Lab Jia Jiaya Establishes New AI Startup
Jia Jiaya, the former head of X Lab under Tencent Cloud and Smart Industry Group and a tenured professor of the Computer Science and Engineering Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, founded an AI company whose main direction is industrial inspection and high-definition video.
The reason to found the company is that "the sinking of AI will definitely bring new breakthrough points." Jia Jiaya said that after seeing so many industries, there is nowhere to use a suitable and simple AI system. For example, in all electric power industries today, reducing energy consumption is a huge ultimate goal, but in the core part of this generator, very few experts in the AI direction can understand the specific needs of this industry, so it is difficult to customize it.
At the same time, he led the team to win championships in international computer vision field competitions such as instance segmentation, semantic segmentation and object detection. He has trained more than 40 doctoral and master students, including Xu Li, co-founder and CEO of Chinese AI startup unicorn, SenseTime.
