Chen Junting's recent public work experience

By providing an online sharing platform and offering free courses, we can bring Google's technology to more people in need and help users use and experience Google's products.

Subsequently, the main person in charge of Google’s R&D team brought some major updates recently.

Key Note: Tensorflow 2.0

As the most popular machine learning framework in recent years, TensorFlow is certainly not absent. Beautiful engineer Jin Anna introduced the overall situation of TensorFlow in fluent Chinese.

Anna Jin has participated in Google's activities in China many times, and all her speeches were given in Chinese.

Her sharing focused on some application cases of TensorFlow and the real problems it helped solve for developers, corporate users, and research institutions.

TensorFlow has built a strong user community. More than 41 milliondownloads, and the technical community built around TensorFlow is also thriving.

In China alone, from first-tier to third-tier cities,At least 15Large and active TensorFlow community.

Just released a few weeks ago 2.0 Updated version,Updates have been made from practicality to ease of use to facilitate users to better develop training and deployment. Compared with previous versions, it has become more intuitive, powerful and flexible.

KeyNote: Android 10

Android 10, which was just released not long ago, also made its debut at the conference. Chet Haase, Google's chief Android promotion engineer, explained Android 10 from two aspects: innovation and security.

At the innovation level,Android 10 natively supports 5G.As the 5G era is approaching, it is bound to catch this express train. In addition, new features such as the eye-catching dark mode are also introduced one by one.

And it seems to be necessary for the development of the technological era. Android 10 also improves the user control and permission settings.User privacy and security,Has been strengthened.

In addition, the article also focuses on introducing Android 10-related development tools to improve development efficiency and reduce the amount of code, such as the Kotlin-first strategy.

Key Note: Flutter 1.9

Flutter is a UI toolkit from Google. Through its use, developersOnly one set of code is needed.You can build beautiful apps for mobile, web, and desktop.

This toolkit has four characteristics: beautiful, fast, efficient, and open source. Because of these characteristics, it has a strong momentum of development among the developer community and is also used by many companies in China.

According to Fan Zhouying, product manager of Google, Flutter 1.9 is officially launched today.

After introducing the basic situation,The latest stable version Flutter 1.9 has also been released.This is the biggest version update of Flutter so far. More than 100Contributors, commits totaling more than 1,500 pull requests.

The new features and updates introduced in Flutter 1.9 cover a wide range, including support for macOS Catalina and iOS 13, optimized tool support, multiple new Dart language features, and a brand new Material widget.

Full range of tools: ARCore & Wear OS

In addition to several major updates, Google also made promotional introductions and update instructions for several other projects.

AR Core It has not been forgotten. According to Google's statistics, the number of certified devices for AR Core continues to increase, and there are thousands of applications using this technology on Google Play.

Among the major domestic companies, the use and exploration of ARCore is also surprising. For example:

Didi Chuxing built its navigation function based on AR Core, which allows motion tracking and environmental understanding, and map navigation in complex scenes; Meitu used the enhanced face API to build its camera function, helping users take more fun and interesting pictures; JD.com developed an educational software that used the enhanced image API to generate 3D dynamic models through letters, helping children learn more concretely.

Live demonstration of enhanced facial beauty and taking interesting AR photos

besides,Android Studio ,FireBase ,WearOS Updates have also been made in user interaction, intelligent usage, and functionality.

For example, Wear OS increases the interaction between users and smart wearable devices, achieving more intelligent, more visual, and more user-friendly interface control. In addition, combined with current hot topics, it also strengthens the details of health.

Surprise everyone: Google Arts & Culture

In addition to technical developments, Google also highlighted for the first time Google Arts & CultureArts and Culture Projects,A special sharing session on "Google Arts and Culture" was also launched.

Google is making it happenThe digitization of the art world.It is reported that Google has already More than 2,000 institutions in more than 80 countriesCollaboration is building digital representations of artworks covering fashion, music, painting, folklore, and more.

For example, by building its digital virtual museum, through enhanced technology, 3D construction, and AI algorithm, users can access it online to observe more detailed and comprehensive works of art and visit rare treasures from all over the world anytime and anywhere.

The Smart Shadow Play booth in the exhibition area has attracted more attention to shadow play art.

This method not only allows technology and art culture to be organically integrated, but also allows artworks to be known to more people.

For example, an interesting project introduced at the conference uses computer vision and other technologies to match historical portraits with personal selfies. Once this application was launched, it attracted widespread attention from the public and unknowingly promoted tens of thousands of unknown paintings.

Finally, an application designed specifically for Chinese users was introduced:Wonderful China,Through technologies such as machine learning, a virtual digital museum was established, and users can visit more than 30 museums simply through their mobile phones.
