Alibaba AI Copywriter

15.07.2018

Chinese Internet giant Alibaba has developed a program that can do the job that copywriters usually do - generate detailed text descriptions of products.

The AI copywriter was developed by Alimama, a division of Alibaba. The system uses deep learning and natural language processing technologies and can generate textual product descriptions.

According to the developers, the system has been trained on millions of existing examples of quality descriptions and can produce 20 lines of text per second. The program is reportedly already being used, in particular for Alibaba's Tmall and Taobao platforms. For example, various brands and advertisers type in a link to a product and then ask the program to show various ideas for text. It is noted that users of the system can choose the length and even the style of the text. The tool, according to the developers, is used on average about a million times a day.

Alimama believes that such a tool significantly changes the work of human copywriters - now they do not need to come up with a text, but just choose the most suitable option from those offered by the machine. Thus, as noted, the efficiency is also greatly increased. At the same time, the company says that the system cannot replace the creativity of people - it just allows people to direct their energy to more creative work.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Scientists succeeded in synthesizing a decanter 26.05.2022

For more than a decade, various groups of scientists have tried with varying degrees of success to synthesize a new material, a form of carbon called graphyne, which is similar in many ways to the well-known graphene. And only recently, researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder have developed a technique that allows you to perform the synthesis of a carafe with a guarantee of the result. This achievement will allow in the near future to more thoroughly study the properties of the decanter, which has prospects for its use in the fields of electronics, optics, nanotechnology, etc.

In nature, there are several ways in which carbon atoms can bond with each other and form different forms of carbon, allotropes. According to the possibilities of creating chemical bonds, carbon hybrids are designated as sp2, sp3 and sp. For example, the most common graphite is sp2 carbon, while the less common diamond is sp3 carbon.

However, the existing methods of chemical synthesis make it possible to synthesize carbon allotropes consisting of one type of hybrid atoms without any problems. This is exactly how graphene, fullerene and some other carbon materials were obtained at one time. Getting a carafe, a material in which there are different types of carbon atoms and carbon bonds, turned out to be a very, very difficult matter, and until recently only a few tiny particles of this material were obtained.

The University of Colorado scientists who synthesized the carafe are working towards what is known as reverse chemistry, complex chemical reactions that produce molecular structures and crystal lattices of a given type, such as synthetic polymers from DNA-like molecules. And the scientists decided to try to apply all their experience to try to synthesize a decanter.

After some theoretical research, the scientists decided to use a process called alkyne metathesis. This process is based on an organic chemical reaction, which entails the redistribution, reduction and transformation of alkyne bonds. By calculating the thermodynamics of the process with high precision and providing control over the kinetics of the chemical reaction, scientists were able to successfully synthesize the carafe, and in such a form that it had never been possible to synthesize before.

Having received a workable technology for the synthesis of a decanter and the first samples of the material, scientists are going to continue working towards ensuring large-scale industrial production. In parallel with this, research will be carried out on the properties of the obtained samples and methods for controlling the properties of the material using external influences of various kinds.
