Nearly 2,000 days in the fields have made Yoyo Data Application a top player in Taiwan’s agricultural data sector Their comprehensive grasp of crop yields, production periods, and prices has enabled them to collaborate with the United Nations The service area for agricultural land skyrocketed from 24 hectares to over 6,000 hectares in less than three years—a 250-fold increase For Wu Junxiao, founder and CEO of Yoyo Data Application, aligning with global environmental trends and becoming a data company at the intersection of climate technology and the green economy to serve the global market is his ultimate entrepreneurial goal Wu Junxiao, originally an engineer, joined the Industrial Technology Research Institute in 2010, where he honed his profound technical and data science analytic skills 'At that time, I was working in data analysis engineering, and almost all data-related materials would be directed to me Additionally, I worked on indoor cultivation boxes, planting vegetables and mushrooms, hence planting the seed of entrepreneurship by integrating agriculture with data analysis,' Wu recalls Since 2016, Wu Junxiao has been frequently visiting farms to 'embed' himself among farmers and agricultural researchers, chatting and sharing information systematically, which quickly established his agricultural know-how Solid data analysis capabilities have even convinced the United Nations In 2017, he left the Institute to start his own business and founded Yoyo Data Application in 2019 Today, many agricultural businesses are his clients, with service areas rapidly climbing from 24 hectares to over 6,000 hectares, expected to surpass 7,000 hectares in 2022 His clientele includes markets in Japan, Central America, and even entities under the United Nations like the World Farmers Organization, which utilizes the 'Yoyo Crop Algorithm System' supported by Yoyo Data How exactly does Yoyo Data Application manage to impress even UN agencies The 'Yoyo Crop Algorithm System' developed by Yoyo Data Application accurately predicts the production period, yield, and prices Firstly, due to Wu Junxiao's precise mastery over agricultural data, Yoyo Data Application's clients don't necessarily need sensors or other hardware devices 'Sensors are expensive and if you buy cheap devices, you just collect a lot of noise or flawed data, which is useless,' Wu explains He continues, 'Collecting data doesn't necessarily require sensors our data solutions can solve problems more directly and effectively' For instance, one of Yoyo Data Application's products, the Yoyo Money Report Agri-price Linebot, developed in collaboration with LINE in 2020, gathers data on origin, wholesale, and terminal prices spanning over 10 years, driven by Yoyo Data’s proprietary AI algorithms This enables the system to autonomously learn about agricultural product trading prices, using big data and AI to perform price prediction analysis, thereby helping buyers reduce transaction risks and expanding the data application to the entire agricultural supply chain Regarding banana prices, the accuracy of price predictions increased from the original 70 to 998 Wu Junxiao notes that both buyers and farmers are very sensitive to prices Now, through the Yoyo Money Report service, both buyers and farmers can precisely understand the fluctuations in agricultural product prices Yoyo Data can also provide customers with optimal decision-making advice based on predictive models for crop growth, yield, and price estimations Currently, price predictions cover 28 types of crops Precise estimates of production periods and price fluctuations allow Yoyo Data to provide differentiated services based on data analysis The 'Yoyo Crop Algorithm System' provided by Yoyo Data Application incorporates a 'Parameter Bank', usually collecting 200-300 parameters, not just straightforward data like temperature and humidity, but also data divided according to the physiological characteristics of the crops Through effective dynamic data algorithms, it can accurately calculate when crops will flower and when they can be harvested, what the yield will be, and so forth For instance, the prediction accuracy of the broccoli production period is 0-4 days, with the flowering period predicted this year to be precisely 0 days, perfectly matching the actual flowering time in the field In these dynamic calculations, a 7-day range is considered reasonable, and the average error value of Yoyo Data's predictions typically ranges from 2-4 days, with most crop production period accuracies above 80 Through effective dynamic data algorithms, over 120 global crops can have their production periods and yields accurately estimated Using these effective dynamic data algorithms can set estimates for production quantities, helping adjust at the production end Yoyo Data Application's clientele primarily includes exporters of fruit crops like pineapples, bananas, guavas, mangos, pomelos, sugar apples, Taiwan's agricultural production is highly homogenized, often leading to a rush to plant the same crops and resulting in price crashes Yoyo Data Application helps clients differentiate their offerings Thus, Wu Junxiao positions his company as a boutique digital consultant, carefully selecting clients for quality over quantity He notes that Taiwanese agricultural clients focus on how to improve yield rates, even categorizing yield rates by quality, aiming for high-quality, specialized export markets whereas international clients prioritize maximizing per-unit yields, showing different operational approaches in domestic and international markets In addition to agricultural fruit, Yoyo Data Application has also extended its services to the fisheries sector, including species like milkfish, sea bass, and white shrimp, all using the same system to establish various parameters related to the growth of fish and shrimp, such as when to feed and when to harvest, and the anticipated yield, timing, and prices Yoyo Data Application harnesses the power of data to create miracles in smart agriculture In response to the company's rapid development, Yoyo Data Application introduced venture capital funds in 2021 to expand its staff and promote its business Wu Junxiao states that in response to the global trend towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050, he plans to help clients plant carbon in the soil, effectively retaining carbon in the land while also connecting clients to carbon trading platforms, creating environmental business opportunities together Wu Junxiao says that from the start of his entrepreneurial journey, he positioned the company as a global entity, thus continuous international collaborations are planned As a data company serving a global clientele and focused on climate technology and the green economy, this represents Wu’s expectations for himself and his company's long-term goals Yoyo Data Application founder and CEO Wu Junxiao「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date：2024-05-19」

Riding the AI hype train, financial service providers are using their solid foundation in the industry to not only transform themselves, but also assist their customers with transformation Hamastar Technology, which has been established for over two decades, has been developing AI technology and assisting industry customers with the implementation of AI in recent years Hamastar Technology believes that to implement a complete AI project, in addition to AI theoretical knowledge, data analysis, and model training capabilities, it is also necessary to develop APIs for data, establish databases, develop front-end RWD web pages, and even consider layout design and user experience based on customer needs These tasks create technical barriers for AI startups Even from the perspective of companies that have reached a certain scale, it is hard to accumulate technical experience and accelerate business growth due repeatedly investing manpower developing similar functions in each project Institutional customers still require high level of customization for AI Using the requirements of government Agency A implemented by Hamastar Technology as an example, users must control false information from specific channels The platform needs to provide data ingestion functions for training models and predictions, and can complete natural language processing NLP text classification model training and use When the model discovers false information, it needs to immediately notify responsible personnel through messaging software The need of Agency B is to use an AI model to automatically classify petitions and immediately provide information on past cases as reference for the petitioner or officer Although the project models are similar data ingestion, model prediction, warning notification, the required functions still need to be separately developed for individual projects, and existing programs and models cannot be reused to speed up the implementation of subsequent projects After in-depth discussion, Hamastar Technology found that pain points of enterprises implementing AI projects include high implementation costs and lengthy project schedules It is difficult for a single enterprise to simultaneously have data scientists, analysts, engineers, and designers Current projects are all focused on solving the needs of specific fields, and it is difficult to reuse the AI models in other fields of application At the same time, the tools are concentrated in AI projects and cannot provide customers with total solutions In other words, due to the "limited manpower," "restricted fields," and "insufficient tools" of AI service providers, the implementation of AI technology projects requires high costs or lengthy timelines These are common problems that companies urgently need to solve Therefore, if there is an AI model application service management platform, it will be able to solve the above difficulties and not only reduce costs, but also accelerate project implementation and provide customers with one-stop solutions AI model application service management platform assists in quickly completing projects Therefore, with the support of the AI project of the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Hamastar Technology carried out the "AI Model Application Service Management Platform AISP RampD Project" and engaged in the RampD of AISP products The purpose is for AI service providers to complete the AI projects with twice the result using only half the effort The AISP provides one-stop AI solutions AI service providers can quickly assemble required functions, such as data API, model management, and model prediction result monitoring subscription through existing module functions of the AISP It also provides commonly used graphical tools to help companies quickly design interactive charts or dashboards required by users, effectively reducing the labor costs required to execute projects, shortening the solution POC or implementation time, and accelerating the implementation and diffusion of industry AI In terms of product business model, in the short term, the company will extensively invite IT service providers with expertise in the field of AI to work together, and use platform services to solve the AI implementation problems faced by requesting units in various field, gradually building trust in the platform brand In the mid-term, the company hopes to gradually expand the market based on its past success, and form strategic alliances with multiple IT service providers to

How to integrate consumer data from various group companies to create advertising synergy and enhance the conversion rate of e-commerce guided orders is probably what every cross-industry business owner dreams of No problem, this can be achieved gradually through AI Eastern Home Shopping is affiliated with the Eastern International Group, which includes East International, Eastern News Cloud, Eastern Insurance Representatives, Eastern Natural Beauty, Eastern Global Marketing, Eastern Pet Cloud, HerEastern, Focus Media, Hong Kong Strawberry Net, and Bear Mom's Vegetable Market, among other companies With cross-industry and cross-domain relationships within the group, and independent operations of membership systems in each unit, consumer data could not be exchanged within the group, making it difficult to uphold Eastern Group's promise to 'place customers in a godly position' Eastern Group’s companies cover a wide range of industries, with large and scattered member databases The Eastern Group boasts significant member traffic and has applied AI news recommendation algorithms and other related technologies across various venues However, the independence of member systems in each unit of the Eastern Group prevents the exchange of consumer data within the group, lacking a comprehensive basis for consumer behavior analysis This results in the inability to enhance the precision of personalized services and marketing strategies When analyzing the challenges and trends of the current retail market, Eastern Group remarked that in response to changing consumer demands, non-traditional business models are emerging, leading to the fragmentation of retail Various emerging business models provide services or products catering to their niche markets, leading consumers to rely less on traditional retail models Retail fragmentation, becoming more apparent in emerging countries, rapidly develops new forms of retail such as high-growth flash sale eCommerce, which threatens traditional B2B2C eCommerce platforms These emerging business models quickly divide traditional retail spaces and could revolutionize existing market rules The retail market is expected to continue evolving towards segmentation The rapid integration of AI applications in the new retail industry to meet highly competitive markets Under the trend of merging physical and digital realms, the line between offline retailers and online e-commerce is increasingly blurred Offline retailers are setting up brand official websites and developing brand apps, investing in e-commerce platforms, while e-commerce operators are starting to established offline physical experience stores, enhancing touchpoints with customers Both are exploring consumer data profiles through offline-online integration, based on AI technologies like machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, language processing, mobility control, and decision-making technologies to actively integrate intelligent retail AI applications, shaping the new retail industry Additionally, Google Chrome claimed in 2021 that it would disable 3rd party cookie functionality within two years, causing retail companies to lose the ability to track personalization via Cookies and understand user behavior across different times, locations, and ads This will prevent cross-device, cross-platform tracking, forcing companies to transform and face big challenges in traffic advertising sales Therefore, the Eastern Group decided to implement the 'OneID AI Traffic Monetization Service Validation Plan', establishing an exclusive data alliance for the Eastern Group, using 'Unified ID' for cross-industry, cross-service data exchange Transforming from collecting personalized data of related companies to analyzing common behavioral characteristics of consumers across industries, segmenting them to obtain users with similar behaviors, and providing interesting content Additionally, utilizing first-party data and AI technologies to improve ad click-through rates, enhancing the advertising value and e-commerce guided order conversion rates This AI technology project is co-developed by Eastern and ASUS computers, encompassing major development tasks such as project planning, system architecture design, system environment setup, algorithm development, algorithm model validation, and system verification The employed technologies include a big data parallel processing framework, natural language processing, user recommendation embedding systems, similarity search, search engine indexing, and click rate prediction This project aims to develop a comprehensive data collection, processing, and integration platform 'Data Middleware', collecting various data sources, focusing on users as the basic unit, forming structured data tables, and calculating user tags for precise characterization of each user Subsequently, this data is utilized for precise AI advertisement placements Eastern Data Middleware structure diagram Eastern Home Shopping introduces OneID AI Traffic Monetization Service, predicting cost-effectiveness to be up to 2 times Eastern stated that this project primarily applies 'user behavior data' and 'AI technology', with user behavior data provided by the Eastern Group and AI technology being co-developed by company and ASUS teams, covering systems such as AD Serve, precise audience estimation system, AI automatic optimization system, advertising efficacy system, and user profiling system The customer data and traffic of AI technology co-developed with ASUS remain independent and not interconnected According to estimates, this development project's total cost-effectiveness could reach 200, expected to precisely capture the user's digital trajectories, behavior, and profiles, potentially resulting in significant growth in customer lifetime value LTV, effectively integrating Eastern's online and offline services, enhancing membership service content, and substantially increasing corporate value In the future, as the Eastern Group continues to expand into international markets, it currently targets Mainland China as the primary promotion market, extending the entire service module with Eastern Global’s operational model to the global Chinese market while ensuring compliance with GDPA, merging it with Strawberry Net to provide Eastern's new retail services with the advantages of big data and AI globally Eastern Group will expand its services and technology to the global market through Strawberry Net「Translated
