enables players to instantly access various swing data, vastly enhancing the fun and interactive aspect of the game With years of experience in data analysis and mining, one may wonder why Massive Digital Engineering ventured into the sports domain It turns out that there is a backstory involving long-term subcontracting work for the well-known sports brand WILSON, combined with the good reputation of its own Napa badminton rackets and familiarity with badminton-related products Hence, starting from the basic physical product of the racket, years of AI research were integrated into the development of the napa smart badminton racket project The sensors on the racket record all swinging actions including speed, posture, energy use, and striking force, and even 3D swing trajectories can be reviewed via the app But how does the napa smart badminton racket work Here's the principle sensors embedded in the racket handle automatically collect data, which, through AI algorithms, is linked to cloud big data When connected to a smartphone, various sports records can be viewed via an app The racket's sensors document every swing—its speed, energy consumption, posture, and power—and even 3D trajectories If used with a smart wristband on the same hand, it can also monitor heart rate and blood pressure, then through various big data applications, provide personalized scientific sports recommendations For instance, some players may swing too broadly with enough power but incorrect direction, or they may exert too much force during a swing but lack strength during impact These common training issues can be effectively addressed and improved through the napa smart badminton system Besides the napa smart badminton racket, the napa intelligent system can also be applied to baseball By installing sensors in the bat handle, swings can be recorded in real-time Smart sports application scenarios The primary target audience for napa smart

unbearable sight It pained Shu-Chen Yang, chairman of Huijia Health Life Technology, to see this scene, and it inspired her to develop a smart fiber optic pad for cribs, which can monitor physiological data around the clock The little baby successfully survived and assisted in tests as she grew up, making the dream come true Now she has grown into a little girl in the fifth grade of an elementary school After 10 years, this technology has advanced to 2mm thin pads, and has been applied to elderly care, COVID-19 technology-based epidemic prevention, and innovative high-end medical devices The goal is to promote this new innovative technology to help more people who need it This is the touching story of why Shu-Chen Yang started the company This magical pad is the nFOPTregnon-invasive fiber optic physiological monitoring pad developed by Huijia Health If is combined nbspwith a smart care system, it can continuously track potential changes in the patient, such as respiration, heart rate, blood pressure, sleep analysis, and activity The sensor pad can be placed under the pillow or bed sheets If the patient has any abnormal conditions, a warning will be automatically issued within 30 seconds Huijia Health develops a non-invasive physiological monitoring system with love as its starting point This product has also become the pride of Taiwan Shu-Chen Yang was invited to serve as Taiwan's representative to participate in the 2021 APEC BEST Award and won the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" award "Huijia Health's products are listed among major innovations in the 2021 Global COVID-19 Innovation Survey report, along with Moderna, Johnson amp Johnson in the United States, and AZ in the United Kingdom, gaining global recognition for innovation in epidemic prevention" said Shu-Chen Yang with her joy visible on her face The innovative solution nFOPTreg was also included in the United Nations-related Global COVID-19 Innovation Survey Report, and was listed as one of the 120 major innovations among over 1,300 items, showing that nFOPTreg is highly recognized as a solution that has the opportunity to be quickly provided for the world to

probability of contact between front-line health workers and at-risk patients during the COVID-19 pandemic It not only saves medical resources, but also greatly reduces the pressure of care on caregivers Shu-Chen Yang said that the company is still targeting the two major home care markets, including infant care and long-term care, in the current stage At this stage, smart fiber optic pads are still sold as general consumer electronics products and are classified as auxiliary care products However, in order to benefit more patients, Shu-Chen Yang pointed out that they have applied for medical device certification for the product, and expect to obtain the certificate as soon as next year, at which time it will have even greater potential for development Huijia Health has changed the traditional care service process and monitors physiological data in a contactless way Although it started early, it does not mean that there are no competitors trying to catch up However, Shu-Chen Yang confidently pointed out, "Prototypes and samples will take two years, and it will take another five years for product stability to reach a certain level Only after the product is stable can it be used for higher-end applications" In addition, data collection is not easy AI applications will generate greater value after accumulating data, making it difficult for latecomers to catch up Therefore, the technical threshold established by Huijia Health is not low, but she opened its doors and adopted an open attitude, welcoming businesses from all fields to work together and create a win-win situation At this stage, the company has entered the car driving behavior monitoring market, which can detect the driver's physical, mental and fatigue status It only takes three months to produce samples by cooperating with Huijia Health, and will allow quick commercialization In the future, the electric vehicle market can also introduce sensors to achieve safety and accuracynbsp Smart fiber optic pads can also enter the automotive market to monitor the physical, mental and fatigue status of drivers Recently, the metaverse has gained momentum, and Shu-Chen Yang believes it is a big business opportunity She said that the metaverse requires a large number of sensors for long-distance and short-distance interactions As long as the application scenarios are outlined, the applications of smart fiber pads will be unlimited For example, patients walking in the hospital using railings for support has not had good rehab effects On the one hand, it is impossible to know whether they have improved On the other hand, the rehab effects will be poor if there is no one to accompany and encourage them With the use of sensors, patients will be able to record their rehab situation at any time, and also virtually interact with family far away, as if family members were accompanying them during rehab, doubling the effect Looking towards the future, Huijia Health will extend its application to more fields, and will adopt a licensing approach to assist strategic partners in completing commercialization In the current stage, the products have been promoted to overseas markets such as Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, and Spain

【2020 Solutions】 Changing Your Perception of Chatbots: Engaging in Meaningful Conversations

The influence of Artificial Intelligence AI on human life is growing daily, whether for businesses, factories, or individuals, everyone is starting to long for a more convenient lifestyle through technology Whether it's the virtual characters in movies or figments of our imagination, they reflect our desires for a futuristic world an entity that can instantly respond to all your needs and handle everything meticulously for you Consequently, Apple brought us 'Siri', Amazon presented 'Alexa', and various tech giants have followed with their intelligent assistantsTalk to anything you wantAccording to a Gartner survey, conversational AI's Natural Language Processing NLP technology is now among the top three AI technologies How NLP is applied to enhance consumer experience is a domain actively being studied and progressed by all conversational AI providers Despite human language being ambiguous and unstructured for machines, with the advent of NLP, we can parse patterns within these large unstructured datasets, enabling better understanding of the embedded messages NLP also aids in addressing business challenges, especially for frequently asked predictable questions or routine continuous work, which are increasingly being managed by AI-based Chatbots due to advancements in machine learning and computational power However, for Chatbot developers, finding the right applications is just the first step designing an engaging experience is crucial for retaining users Generally, the impression of Chatbots remains stuck on the stereotype of customer service, often appearing clueless or only capable of responding with a few programmed answers, which makes them seem unintelligent and disappointing Although many factors influencing the user experience design of chatbots warrant further investigation, enhancing consumer experience and altering perceptions require more advanced Natural Language Understanding NLU technologies for semantic analysis, sentiment analysis, and advanced conversational applications, making Chatbots smarter and more attuned to human preferences Asia Pacific Intelligence is one of the few companies in Taiwan focusing on machine intelligence, dedicating themselves to improving human life through proprietary development of NLU technology and specializing in Chatbot applications via the Opentalk platform Established less than three years ago, it is already the only technological partner in Taiwan for the global top-five industrial AI company 'iFLYTEK'Asia Pacific Intelligence constructs 'Multi-Turn Dialogue Querying Capability', enhancing the understanding abilities of ChatbotsThrough its internally developed Natural Language Understanding technology, Asia Pacific Intelligence has developed a rapid deployment platform for conversational robots, now equipped with multi-turn dialogue querying capabilities By integrating a domain knowledge graph, these customer service bots can resolve 70-80 of issues at the first point of contact More complex and diverse queries still rely on human customer service However, the 80 accuracy rate is sufficient for customer service staff to handle more complex customer demands Additionally, multi-turn dialogue robots can also be applied in factory settings When customers encounter issues with machinery, they can describe the problem and the machine's condition to the robot through multi-turn dialogues, the robot can determine the correct problem within a limited scope, effectively pinpoint the issue using the knowledge graph, and notify technical staff for repairs The machine's preliminary judgment and reporting can generally resolve issues within a day The underlying data structure of multi-turn dialogue Chatbots relies on interfacing with corporate websites or databases, categorizing data like user preferences, user question and answer data, and user personas However, apart from requiring a large amount of data, the most crucial aspect is the continuous 'feeding' of domain knowledge to make robots increasingly smarter Additionally, Bo-Han Wu, the founder of Asia Pacific Intelligence, believes 'AI learning should be data-driven thus, dealing with extensive dialogue content cannot be managed with small data Although various inference technologies are rapidly developing, ultimately, it is still humans who make decisions based on understanding'Speaking Out Infinite Possibilities for the FutureVoice technology plays a crucial role in penetrating daily life For example, Google Assistant announced the launch of its Traditional Chinese version in 2018, actively expanding its voice market in Taiwan Developers can now upload their voice skills on Action on Google for use by others Asia Pacific Intelligence APMIC, leveraging its semantic understanding technology, has listed a voice skill named 'Bus Helper' where users can activate it by saying 'I want to talk to Bus Helper' to their phone or smart speaker This voice-enabled service can save the hassle of opening an app and typing during the busy morning rush, simply by using voice instead of hands to check bus statuses The development of voice capabilities requires advanced NLU technology to accurately determine user intent Major firms like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are also actively participating in NLU technology research, suggesting that the future of voice skill applications will introduce more eye-catching features, providing more thoughtful and intelligent user experiences, making life more convenient「Translated content is generated by

「知識圖譜」打造衛教小天使,回答孕期遇到的大小問題
【2020 Solutions】 'Knowledge Graphs' create health education angels, answering all questions faced during pregnancy

Artificial Intelligence AI is evolving rapidly Traditional scripted response smart customer services are no longer sufficient Emerging from this is the use of Knowledge Graphs in smart assistants Through knowledge graphs, these smart assistants can provide exhaustive, tailored customer service, helping consumers efficiently and effortlessly find their desired products The most common AI applications in daily life are smart customer services or smart assistants For smart customer services, the aim is mainly to address customer inquiries, but they often face the issue of providing too generic and rigid responses, lacking flexibility Utilizing knowledge graphs to establish smart assistants To develop a smooth-questioning smart assistant, it's crucial to optimize technologies such as natural language processing, semantic analysis engines, multi-turn dialogues, context awareness, emotion recognition, and personalization Supported by the Economic Ministry's Technology Department, the Institute for Information Industry’s Service Innovation Research Institute has developed tools for domain knowledge construction and management These tools assist in transforming corporate websites, databases, and documents into corporate knowledge graphs using AI recognition models When used in smart customer service, if the customer query is vague, it can proactively ask follow-up questions based on the knowledge graph and provide precise answers through multiple dialogue rounds, saving on professional labor costs and response time, and delivering better consumer service experiences Chen Bing-Yi, head of the Institute, points out that simple smart assistants operate by connecting to fixed APIs and responding based on predefined data formats, which is straightforward for queries like tracking shipments through Line or Facebook Messenger However, for more flexible customer issues such as cancer insurance clauses, credit card application terms, or legal advice, more complex technologies are required Technically, AI must convert unstructured data from documents, websites, or even social media into patterns that computers can understand, ie, establishing corporate knowledge graphs In simple terms, knowledge graphs are primarily built by extracting all significant texts and marking the relationships between them, automatically creating relational graphs among all individuals, events, and objects For example, the computer can extract and determine the relation between Nantou and Oolong Tea as 'Origin' from social data, and link 50 Lan's products to Oolong Tea as 'Product' Once a consumer wishes to know 'Where does 50 Lan’s Oolong tea come from', the system can infer using the knowledge graph and provide 'Nantou' as the response, making customer service smarter and more professional Additionally, smart assistants no longer passively receive queries they can actively notify and remind consumers, for instance, notifying pregnant women of important prenatal tests they need to undergo through Line and Facebook Messenger, ensuring no tests are missed and enhancing safety The smart assistants developed by the Institute are being progressively applied across retail, finance, and medical sectors including applications such as querying credit card benefits, product specifications, and medical education advice, with several companies already having successfully implemented these practices Plans are in place to integrate external social data or open up knowledge graphs for future development, continuing to collaborate with partners to advance the application of knowledge graphs in various new forms of AI services Applications of Knowledge Graphs Health Education Angel Chatbot New mothers often face a multitude of questions during pregnancy, such as morning sickness, diet, fetal health, and prenatal check-up considerations, affecting their sleep, personal health, and potentially impacting fetal health The Service Innovation Research Institute, in collaboration with Hua Xin Health Technology, uses AI technology to process health education manuals from the Ministry of Health and Welfare and community discussion articles This initiative aims to build a Health Education Angel using natural language processing and knowledge graph technologies specifically for addressing various issues encountered during pregnancy The institute and Hua Xin Health Technology have collaborated to develop the Health Education Angel chatbot to answer various questions during pregnancy If there are questions related to prenatal examinations, they can be inquired through 'Prenatal Examination ABC', where the system will provide information about whether certain prenatal tests are chargeable and the diseases they can screen for If there are concerns regarding dietary and health status during pregnancy, 'Pregnancy Encyclopedia' can be utilized By posing questions in natural language, the system will offer the most relevant expert answers Additionally, information about valuable pregnancy resources and welfare assistance is available for pregnant mothers to consult The Health Education Angel can pose questions in natural language, and the system will provide the most relevant expert responses「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」
