Original title: [Heavy] Feifei Gao Karpathy joined Tesla and heads the artificial intelligence department Xinzhiyuan Report Source: techcrunch Author: Zhang Yi Liu Xiaoqin Ferguson [New Intellectuals] Techcrunch reported on the 21st that Tesla just hired Andrej Karpathy, a deep learning and computer vision expert, as the head of the artificial intelligence department, and played an important role in Autopilot. Andrej graduated from the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, where he studied with Professor Li Feifei. After the Open AI lost Ian Goodfellow, he lost another big general. Tesla has just won a deep learning major, which will greatly promote the development of the company's automatic driving. According to TechCrunch, Tesla has just hired Andrej Karpathy, a deep learning and computer vision expert, as head of the artificial intelligence department, and plays an important role in Autopilot. Karpathy recently served as a researcher for OpenAI, an artificial intelligence non-profit organization supported by Elon Musk. He has many years of background in AI related fields and completed his Ph.D. in computer vision at Stanford University. Andrej Kapathy graduated from the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Dr. Li Feifei studied in the Google Brain and DeepMind. He worked with Wu Enda. He has worked in several deep learning labs in the industry. More importantly, he is happy and good at it. Sharing his own experiences and insights, he is very active on Twitter and Medium, and he is known as AI "Internet Red." Karpathy created one of Stanford University's original and most respected deep learning courses. His research focuses on creating a system through which a neural network can identify multiple discrete and specific items in an image and use natural language to annotate and report to users. His thesis also includes the development of a system that works in reverse so that the model can be described in terms of the user's natural language - such as "white tennis shoes" - to find specific objects in a given image. Previously, Karpathy had also been an intern at Google DeepMind, focusing on deep learning; previously studied at the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto. His work and expertise will be a valuable asset for Tesla's autonomous driving, especially for Tesla Vision. Tesla Vision is a computer vision system established by Tesla to support Autopilot and its future automated driving program. Karpathy, the newly appointed AI and Autopilot Vision Director, will report directly to Musk, but will also work closely with Tesla’s Jim Keller, who was responsible for Tesla's Autopilot hardware division and now manages driver assistance for autonomous driving cars. The software and hardware section. Tesla has posted the following announcements regarding Karpathy's appointments and responsibilities through TechCrunch: Andrej Karpathy is one of the top experts in computer vision and deep learning. He now joins Tesla as Director of AI and Autopilot Vision (Director of AI and Autopilot Vision) and reports directly to Elon Musk. Andrej made the computer vision by working on ImageNet, gave the computer imagination through the development of the generated model, and gave the computer the ability to browse the Internet by strengthening the work of learning. He was previously a research scientist at OpenAI. Andrej received his Ph.D. in computer vision from Stanford University. At Stanford, Andrej demonstrated the ability to use deep neural networks to obtain complex descriptions of images. For example, the computer not only recognizes a cat on a given image, but also determines that it is an orange tabby riding on a red wheeled skateboard on a brown hardwood floor (). Andrej created and taught the "Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition" course at Stanford University. This is Stanford's first deep learning course and it is still one of the most popular courses. Andrej will work closely with Jim Keller, who is now the overall head of Autopilot hardware and software. At the time of the release of Autopliot 2.0, some media commented that in the exploration of automatic driving, Tesla chose the camera for the solution from the beginning to rely on the radar, and finally chose the camera again. This also means that Lidar's solution was completely abandoned by Tesla. Taking into account Mobileye's "breakup", Tesla's need to independently develop computer vision has become very urgent, and this may be a reason why Andrej, who specializes in vision, joins Tesla. Autopilot: Last Tesla's death car accident had final conclusion The National Transportation Safety Board recently released a 500-page survey of the fatal car crash in Tesla, Florida in May 2016. The conclusions show that there is currently no defect in the Tesla vehicle itself. Tesla will be required to recall the vehicle. According to external analysis, the findings of the US National Transportation Safety Committee's conclusion are like injecting a lot of effort into the major auto manufacturers that are trying to achieve full-automatic driving. Yesterday, Tesla's share price rose 0.66%. Loss of Open AI Talent In the afternoon of December 2015 in December 2015, Tesla founder Musk and Y Combinator president Sam Altman announced the establishment of a new artificial intelligence (AI) company, OpenAI, when they were participating in the Montreal port city of Canada. AI conference, they announced the news when the conference came to an end. According to Wired, OpenAI does not offer high salaries, but it can provide other incentives: Instead of caring about products and quarterly earnings, you can concentrate on exploring future-oriented research and eventually share most of the research results with everyone. According to Wired, an AI researcher Greg Brockman, the salaries paid by laboratories are not given by companies such as Google and Facebook. Brockman also said that OpenAI does not want to give them too much money. It will use stock options to compensate researchers, initially using Y Combinator stocks, and possibly using SpaceX stocks in the future. Unlike Tesla, SpaceX is still a private company. In Brockmann's vision, OpenAI is equivalent to modern Xerox PARC. In the 1970s, PARC was brilliantly brilliant. Its research was open and unrestrained. It gave birth to graphical interfaces, laser printers, and object-oriented programming. PARC did belong to Xerox, but its research has led to other companies, such as Apple, because Jobs and others are familiar with PARC's research. Brockman hopes everyone can understand OpenAI's research. However, researchers at the Open AI have recently been losing. The famous researcher and GAN proposer Ian Goodfellow left OpenAI at the end of February this year and returned to Google's brain. When answering Reddit's question "Why Ian Goodfellow left OpenAI", he wrote: "I loved the days of OpenAI and also proud of what OpenAI colleagues have done with me. I returned to Google's brain. Because over time, I have discovered that my research has focused on confrontational samples and techniques related to differential privacy, and that these studies were mainly conducted in collaboration with Google’s colleagues.†Editor:
