Microsoft Xiao Bing can design the 26th model of the textile pattern 10, is learning Chinese painting

The exploration of artificial intelligence in the field of art has more possibilities for commercialization.

On May 16th, Microsoft's artificial intelligence brand Xiao Bing's textile and apparel fabric design platform was officially released, exploring the commercialization of artificial intelligence creation in the design field. The platform was jointly developed by Microsoft (Asia) Internet Engineering Institute and China National Textile Industry Federation and several large textile fabric companies .

Li Di, deputy dean of the Microsoft (Asia) Internet Engineering Institute and head of Microsoft Xiaobing Global, believes that artificial intelligence can be used to solve problems in industries that are in short supply. "If there is an oversupply, there is no need to use artificial intelligence to complete."

Speaking of whether artificial intelligence will cause human unemployment, Li Di said, "If the poem written by this poet is not as good as Xiao Bing, it should not be considered as a creator before the emergence of artificial intelligence. Will these people be replaced? Yes, because artificial intelligence is obviously better than them."

On the same day, Microsoft Xiao Bing released more new skills in the humanities and art fields. The fifth version of artificial intelligence wheatgrass concert model release, this version has more than ten high-quality sound to enhance the ability of artificial intelligence to predict parameters in the interpretation of the song, a substantial increase in air levels of artificial intelligence interpretation of the song, It improved the naturalness of singing and singing, and announced the results of the theater training for the first time.

In addition, the artificial intelligence small ice painting model was officially released. In the 2019 Central Academy of Fine Arts graduate student painting exhibition, including a number of paintings by a student named Xia Wenbing. These works are actually generated automatically by artificial intelligence, and Xia Yubing is Microsoft Xiao Bing.

Eight famous styles show the process of urbanization in China

Xiao Bing's painting creation skills Microsoft has secretly developed for 22 months. After learning about 236 human painters' paintings in the past 400 years of art history, Xiao Bing has achieved a certain level of original painting creation ability.

With the title of “China's Urbanization Process”, Xiao Bing created different works with different artist styles.

It can be seen that the styles of Bernal, Van Gogh and Emil Bernard use a lonely figure in the wilderness to express China's urbanization process, and the humanistic care perspective of rural-to-urban transformation. The emotional characteristics of the painters are different. The style of Dali and Rubens is to express this theme with urban architecture. Franz Marke's style is to express the imagination of the country through the city by a jet airliner, and Mark himself would not draw a jetliner. The inheritance of Gauguin is reflected in a lonely and laid-back chair.

Xu Yuanchun, general manager of Microsoft (Asia) Internet Engineering Institute and Microsoft Xiaobing Artificial Intelligence Creation and Business Division, said that Xiao Bing’s paintings are not a random large-scale creative technique, nor a filter and migration technology. Based on a large amount of learning by Xiao Bing on the past human creators, he was inspired by his creation, and then formed an independent, complete new painting with 100% of his own intellectual property .

Started to design patterns for textile companies, and continue to learn Chinese painting

Based on Microsoft's small ice painting model, Microsoft announced the artificial intelligence Xiaobing textile and apparel fabric design platform.

This platform can not only generate small ice painting patterns, but also support dozens of popular patterns and illustration designs. The diversity that is not repeated now can reach 10 to the 26th power, which is equivalent to drawing a completely different surface for each grain of sand on the earth.

In the interview after the press conference, Li Di told the journalist that the most important core part of artificial intelligence creation is the unified creative model, and Xiao Bing's exploration in the art field verified the significance of this creative model.

The value of artificial intelligence creation is that it learns very quickly and there are no bottlenecks that humans may encounter. Li Di said, "For Xiao Bing, if you are not correct, you can go back to re-learning. There will be no limitations."

Talking about the potential of Xiaobing's painting skills, Li Di said that in order to make Xiaobing's creation quality better, the precision of the training model continues to improve. In addition, Microsoft Xiaobing senior scientist Wu Xianchao added that human painting has many different directions, including Chinese painting and Renaissance. In more directions, Xiao Bing continues to explore.

If human beings are not as good as Xiao Bing, he will be replaced.

Xu Yuanchun, general manager of Microsoft (Asia) Internet Engineering Institute, Artificial Intelligence Creation and Business Division, introduced the ins and outs of Xiaobing's choice of commercialization in the field of textile design.

When Xiaobing’s entire painting model was developed in two or three months, the China National Textile and Apparel Association came to visit Microsoft and talked about the enormous challenges facing the Chinese textile industry. The design is the bottleneck of the entire Chinese textile industry and the bottleneck of industrial added value. The entire industry needs a lot of design capabilities, and this part of the design capacity is in short supply.

Due to the low design capability, the industry can only produce large quantities on a limited design basis each year, which leads to the destruction and processing of a large number of inventory products in China's textile and apparel industry each year. If there is a technology that can provide customized design solutions for more people, and provide more on-demand production in the case of agile production, the waste of the entire industry and environmental pollution may also be reduced.

Li Di, vice president of the Microsoft (Asia) Internet Engineering Institute, concluded: "We hope that all types of artificial intelligence created by industrialization and industrialization are capable of solving problems rather than adding chaos, and the supply is in short supply. Only if it is oversupply. There is no need to use artificial intelligence to complete it."

Will artificial intelligence replace human beings and cause human unemployment? Li Di believes that this should be viewed from two aspects.

Li Di said: "When highly customized, human creators can work with artificial intelligence through a new production relationship."

He explained in detail that the workers started with the tools of manipulating traditional craftsmanship, followed by manipulating the machine tools, and then manipulating artificial intelligence to help them complete. This is a process. "From this process, we don't think this is a threat. The threat exists on the other side."

"If the poem written by this poet is not as good as Xiao Bing, it should not be considered a creator before the emergence of artificial intelligence. Will these people be replaced? Yes, because artificial intelligence is obviously better than them." Say.
