How can technicians get rid of the anxiety in the era of transplanting everything?

2016 is the year when mobile Internet and hardware are most closely integrated, and everyone has experienced this. For example, VR applications have begun to overturn people's experience in traditional games, social networking, videos, reading, education, shopping, etc. There are many such examples. With the vertical segmentation of mobile application scenarios and market innovation, more and more users are affected from the vertical and horizontal axes.

Therefore, slogans such as "Mobility brings life to all things" and "He who gains mobility wins the world" are constantly emerging, implying that if the mobile sector is lost, the competitiveness of the entire industry will also be lost. In a situation where many people have not yet had time to perceive such an environment, the pressure from the mobile era has already been very direct and has fallen on the shoulders of front-line technical personnel in enterprises somewhat unexpectedly. Faced with the endless emergence of new technologies, the intricate connections and extremely complex situation, everyone is eager to know what to focus on, what to learn and what to master in order not to be led by the nose by technology.

On August 26, 2016, the WOT2016 Mobile Internet Technology Summit hosted by 51CTO.com was held at the JW Marriott Hotel Beijing. 46 senior technical experts in the field of mobile technology from well-known companies such as Google's US headquarters, Stitch Fix, BAT, Sina Weibo, and No.1 Store gathered at the conference site. In two days, they will have face-to-face exchanges and share experiences with more than a thousand front-line technical personnel in the mobile Internet.

This summit is in line with the development of the industry, with ten technical sessions: VR technology, live broadcast technology, innovative technology, data analysis, application architecture, platform technology, front-end technology, performance optimization, operation and security, and APP competition. The conference theme not only covers the exploration and practice of the hottest innovative technologies and breakthroughs, but also includes detailed explanations from veterans on how to combine new and old technologies, how to cope with the rapid growth of user scale, and how to fill gaps.

At the main session of the WOT2016 Mobile Internet Technology Summit, four experts, including Wang Jianqiang, Director of Data Science at Stitch Fix and former Technical Director of Twitter’s US headquarters, Liang Yuling, Senior Android Architect at Google’s US headquarters, Yang Haiming, Chief Architect of JD Cloud, and Wu Zhihua, Head of the Basic Platform Department of Taobao Mobile Platform, delivered keynote speeches on deep learning, personalized recommendations, and the Internet of Things. Let’s take a look.

Wang Jianqiang: Data science + stylists subvert the traditional way of shopping in clothing retail

The first speaker was Mr. Wang Jianqiang, who is from Stitch Fix, a personalized online company in Silicon Valley. As the director of data science, he not only revealed the Stitch Fix entrepreneurial model, the data science used in Stitch Fix recommendations, and actual applications, but also shared some very interesting practices of the Stitch Fix team, such as data-driven creativity, that is, getting ideas through data, making some combinations, and getting new ideas. This is also one of Stitch Fix's very successful application practices in data science.

Liang Yuling: Processing and Application of Deep Learning

Liang Yuling, senior Android architect from Google's US headquarters, shared some insights and experiences on deep learning. In addition, he analyzed why deep learning has achieved many things that were impossible before in the mobile era. He compared machine learning to a rocket launching into space. A rocket needs a powerful enough engine to launch into space, just like deep learning needs enough data to take off. With mobile terminals, we can receive a large amount of data every day, and this data will only increase, not decrease. Coupled with the development of cloud computing and distributed computing, large-scale training has become possible.

Yang Haiming: Data connects the future

JD Cloud Chief Architect Yang Haiming elaborated on JD Cloud's support in the mobile era in light of the development and changes of JD's business. JD has deployed four major technology platforms to adapt to the development of the mobile era, namely, technology platform, data aggregation and governance platform, capability opening platform and ecological platform. With the continuous improvement and maturity of the technology system, JD has gradually transformed these technology platforms from commercial systems to open source systems, opening them to more enterprises and technicians. Yang Haiming also pointed out the trend of e-commerce in his eyes, which will be the emergence of more professional vertical e-commerce.

Wu Zhihua (Tianshi): JS & Web capabilities expand the Internet of Everything

Wu Zhihua, head of the basic platform department of Taobao Mobile Platform, shared his team's experience in the Weex open source project and how to solve many problems and technical challenges. The compatibility and fragmentation of device platforms have become a big problem, which is also mixed with information islands, adaptation and performance optimization. Developers need to invest a lot of energy in these aspects. In the context of today's entrepreneurial environment, in order to meet the rapid changes in business, Alibaba has today's cross-platform development framework Weex to help developers solve problems such as APP compatibility.

Today and tomorrow, more technical experts will continue to bring technical knowledge and front-line practical experience to the WOT2016 Mobile Internet Technology Summit, and have face-to-face conversations with technical personnel to answer questions. On August 26-27, at the Beijing Marriott Hotel, we look forward to your arrival, let's get rid of the panic together!
