Artificial intelligence is evolving to cognitive intelligence represented by natural language processing

It is learned that the natural language processing (NLP) technology developer Kofan has completed tens of millions of RMB Pre-A financing and investment Fang is China Science and Technology Innovation Star. This round of financing will be mainly used in technology research, product development, market expansion and other aspects. The company received angel round financing of generous capital in 2018.

“Chinese Science Fanyu” was incubated in 2018 at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is a provider of machine translation and multilingual information processing solutions. The company has independently developed bottom-up natural language processing algorithms and tools, and has translation and information analysis products in general and vertical industries.

Artificial intelligence is evolving from computational intelligence and perceptual intelligence to cognitive intelligence represented by NLP. According to WhaTech’s forecast, the global NLP market will reach $ 13.4 billion in 2020. Google, Facebook, and international and domestic giants such as Alibaba and Baidu have deployed in the NLP field. The NLP products of such large companies usually serve their own business internally, and are generally based on general-purpose products. Sino-Korean Fanyu has established NLP tools combined with specific business scenarios based on billion-level bilingual corpora covering military, political, legal, aviation, and medical fields.

The company designs customized translation and information analysis service tools for vertical fields such as defense, aerospace, medical technology, culture and education. An aircraft maintenance log Chinese-English machine translation product developed for a well-known international airline has been put into practical use. It can complete real-time translation and post-translation information processing of about 100,000 flight maintenance logs per day. For the direction of medical Al, the company has developed medical machines. Translation system, electronic medical record structured processing system, medical text analysis system, intelligent auxiliary diagnosis and treatment system, intelligent triage consultation system, etc., have cooperated with a global biopharmaceutical group and a domestic top three hospital; In addition, the company has undertaken a number of cooperation projects for major strategic needs of the country and the government, such as providing translation, information integration and analysis services for countries along the Belt and Road.
