Baidu personnel once again had a huge earthquake, and Wu Enda, the chief scientist who had taken charge of his artificial intelligence technology team, also left. This is the second Baidu executive's departure after Lu Qi served as Baidu COO.
On March 22nd, Wu Enda issued an open letter through personal media platforms such as Medium, Weibo and TIwtter in English, announcing that he would leave Baidu and open a new chapter in the field of artificial intelligence. On the same day, Baidu confirmed through its official microblog, and released an internal email to disclose Wu Enda's departure.
In the mail, Baidu also announced that it will further integrate Baidu's core technology to form the Baidu AI Technology Platform System (AIG).
Some industry insiders said in an interview with the 21st Century Business Herald that they were "surprised" and "sudden" about the news, but some industry insiders were not surprised by Wu Enda's departure, saying that he might start a business. "Many of the current news is incomplete, but overall, Baidu will be a test," said an industry person who did not want to be named. "After all, Wu Enda is a leader in the field of artificial intelligence, and Baidu's artificial intelligence is still in the strategic investment period. Many achievements have not yet been reflected."
Wu Enda hanging
Unlike the previous changes in Baidu executive positions, this time, Wu Enda chose to be the first to speak. On March 22, Wu Enda issued an open letter through a personal social platform, announcing that he would leave Baidu.
According to the data, Wu Enda is one of the most authoritative scholars in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and is a master of machine learning, Michael I. Jordan. He was the director of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Stanford University. In 2011, he founded the Google Deep Learning team and led the "Google Brain" project. In May 2014, Wu Enda joined Baidu as the deputy dean of Baidu Deep Learning Research Institute (IDL) and became the chief scientist of Baidu. He was responsible for the leadership of Baidu Research Institute during this period.
"As the chief architect of Baidu's artificial intelligence strategy, I am proud to lead the company in the rapid development and rise of artificial intelligence." In an open letter, Wu Enda said that Baidu's artificial intelligence team has grown to nearly 1,300 people, including 300. Member of Baidu Research Institute.
As for Wu Enda’s whereabouts, he clearly stated in his open letter that “When you leave Baidu, you will continue to work on artificial intelligence, and change the society through artificial intelligence to make people’s lives better.†In this regard, some people in the industry said that they are currently related to Wu Enda. Intentions "a lot of sayings", or joining a startup, or starting a business, may also return to Stanford.
Fang Xingdong, the founder of the Internet Lab and the president of the International Internet Research Institute of Shantou University, believes that Wu Enda’s departure is "a major blow to Baidu’s artificial intelligence strategy and a major setback for Baidu’s internationalization." In his view, Baidu needs a high degree. Vision and mission can truly attract and retain international top talent.
However, there are also views that Baidu has now raised artificial intelligence to a company-level strategy, and will not change the established strategy because of Wu Enda's departure, so the actual business of artificial intelligence will not be greatly affected. "Wu Enda has formed more than 1,000 R&D teams and talent echelons and R&D systems in Baidu's three years of Baidu's artificial intelligence technology. Natural language processing, voice, knowledge maps and other technologies have made corresponding progress," said industry observer Luo Chao. "It can be said that Wu Enda helped Baidu to build an artificial intelligence machine. Now the machine is running at high speed, and the people who make the machine will not have big problems."
Baidu personnel successively shocked
Although Fang Xingdong attributed Wu Enda's departure to Baidu's vision and mission, more people linked Lu Qi to Baidu.
This is not surprising. In fact, since Lu Qi served as the COO of Baidu, Baidu has experienced several personnel turmoil. On February 9, Baidu announced the abolition of the medical division that was previously affiliated with Baidu's emerging business group (Zhang Yaqin). The former Baidu Medical Division general manager Li Zheng transferred to the artificial intelligence team; on March 1, Baidu set up intelligent driving. The business group, led by Lu Qi, former senior vice president Wang Jin no longer served as general manager of the autonomous driving division.
On March 16, Baidu announced that former Baidu’s vice president and Baidu’s general manager Zeng Liang had been dismissed for illegal gains from channel agents. At the same time, Baidu glutinous rice for organizational optimization and management structure adjustment, Baidu senior vice president, Baidu search company president Xiang Hailong personally concurrently served as Baidu glutinous rice general manager.
This incident means that Baidu lost two members, Wang Jin and Wu Enda, in less than a month. Similar to Wu Enda’s rumors, the 21st Century Business Herald reporter learned that Wang Jin may choose to start a business after leaving Baidu.
Baidu said that it will further integrate Baidu AI, including Baidu core technology including NLP (Natural Language Processing), KG (Knowledge Graph), IDL (Deep Learning Institute), Speech (Big) and Big Data (Big Data). Technology Platform System (AIG), and appointed Bai Haifeng Vice President Wang Haifeng as the general manager of the AI ​​Technology Platform System (AIG), and promoted him to the staff of Estaff, and turned to Baidu Group President and Chief Operating Officer Lu Qi.
According to the data, Wang Haifeng joined Baidu in January 2010. He was the only Chinese president of the International Academic Organization ACL (AssociaTIonfor ComputaTIonal LinguisTIcs) in the field of natural language processing. He is also the youngest ACL Fellow.
However, in the context of personnel shocks, Baidu’s current problem lies in how to retain talent. "Baidu does not lack technical talents, but lacks commercial talents," an industry official bluntly told 21st Century Business Herald.
