Winning the new financial era

Chapter 298 Business Competition
The next day.

early morning.

On the way to work, Zhang Yida, who was taking a nap in the back seat of the Bentley Mulsanne, suddenly received a call from Zhang Lan.

"Mr. Zhang, something happened!"

Zhang Yida woke up immediately, "What happened?"

"Last night a child uploaded a video of his mother taking a shower..."

After hearing this, Zhang Yida thought for a while and asked, "You said that the content review team blocked the video through the background as soon as it discovered it.

Then how could it spread widely on the Internet? "

Zhang Lan bit her lip on the other end of the phone, and said: "Only 216 views were played on TikTV, but it spread widely on various websites such as WeChat and Qiandu.

This matter has been trending on Weibo!It's making a big fuss!
A few reporters also called to cover this matter, but I declined them all. "

"Qin Lin, change your destination. Instead of going to Ruixiang Company today, go to Doushi Company."

After instructing Qin Lin, the bodyguard who was driving in the driver's seat, Zhang Yida continued to talk to Zhang Lan, "Zhang Lan, before this matter is fully fermented, you can say hello to Penguin and Qiandu's bosses and ask them to block the video. up.

On Weibo, you should also publicize and ask them to remove the hot search.

I'll be at the company right away, and you first order the things I've given you to do.Let's talk when I get there! "

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yida was thinking, did this happen by accident, or was it "deliberately done" by someone?Or both?
After receiving Zhang Yida's instructions, Zhang Lan quickly contacted the PR departments of Penguin, Qiandu, Weibo and other companies.

As the CEO of DouTV, Zhang Lan personally called the PR departments of these companies.The public relations departments of various companies did not dare to neglect, and asked their superiors for instructions.

Zhang Yida's friendship with the bosses of these companies was not bad, so they sold their face and began to use some technical means to block the video.

After Zhang Lan finished making these calls, Zhang Yida had already arrived at DouTV.

Zhang Yida walked into Zhang Lan's office and asked, "Have you finished all the things you told me?"

"It's all over," Zhang Lan nodded, "For the sake of Mr. Zhang, all the companies have promised to help."

"Hey!"

Zhang Yida sighed, this kind of thing is inhumane!
"Call the company's top management for a meeting!"

Upon hearing the instructions, Zhang Lan immediately opened the internal office software, sent a message to the company's senior management, and notified the time and place of the meeting.

After a while, the company's top management rushed to the conference room.

Zhang Yida sat in the first seat, and seeing that everyone was present, he said, "You've heard about the "shower door" incident last night, right?"

Seeing Zhang Yida's stern face, all the executives lowered their heads, not daring to answer.

"Let the leader of the content review department come out and talk about the situation!"

A middle-aged man stood up at a loss, and said with a bitter face, "Mr. Zhang, the situation is like this..."

Then he recounted the incident and the details of the video content to Zhang Yida again.

Zhang Yida didn't watch the original video, all he knew was that a child had misrepresented the video of his mother taking a bath.

In this high-level meeting, it is not appropriate to show the original video.

The executives of other companies are similar to Zhang Yida. They only heard that there was a loophole in the company's content review early in the morning, and a child misreported the video of his mother taking a bath. The specific situation is not particularly familiar.

After listening to the explanation given by the director of the content review department, all the senior executives present, including Zhang Yida, understood it.

This should be an accident. The child is not sensible, and the phone happened to be aimed at the door of the mother's bath...

"This video has only been played 216 times on DouTV. It stands to reason that it is impossible for it to spread so widely on the Internet in one night?"

Zhang Lan raised his doubts, Zhang Yida nodded in agreement, and said: "It should be the 216 people who watched the video, not necessarily 216 people, probably someone watched it several times.

It should be that three or two of the dozens of people who watched the video downloaded the video locally and shared it with other software.

This kind of video goes viral very quickly.

I guess at this time, a certain "friend businessman" should have contributed to the flames! "

"It must be, either Kuaishou, or the headline video just launched!"

"I think it's Kuaishou. Toutiao has just launched, so you probably don't have the energy to mess with us!"

"That's not necessarily the case. I saw their product UI, and the pixel level plagiarized our DouTV."

Zhang Yida pressed his hand twice in the air, stopping the executives who were discussing the "real culprit behind the scenes".

He looked at a group of executives and said: "Now is not the time to discuss this! Through this "shower door" incident, many shortcomings of our company have been exposed.

The first is the content review department. The prohibited video was discovered too late, and it was discovered that there was a problem with the video after more than 200 views.

If the first time the video is sent out, before there is a single view, we will review and find out the problem, then there will be no such things later. "

The Director of Content Review had a sullen face. He admitted that what Zhang Yida said made sense, but their department also had practical difficulties!

But he didn't dare to talk back to Zhang Yida, he stood up and said with a slight bow, "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, the reason why the shower door incident happened is because we didn't do a good job."

Zhang Yida saw that he was sincere in admitting his mistakes, and encouraged him: "The content review department has a heavy workload, manual review is inefficient, and there are various difficulties. I know all of this.

Because the establishment of a strict content review mechanism is a plan I made in the early days of the company's establishment.

Your department will overcome it again. Soon, a new generation of AI video recognition system will be launched. At that time, both the accuracy and efficiency of content review will be greatly improved. "

The director of content review looked much better. It seemed that Mr. Zhang understood their difficulties very well.

At present, the workflow of their department is as follows: the AI ​​video recognition system first reviews the videos uploaded by each user, and the videos whose text and title are prohibited are directly blocked.

Some more complex videos that cannot be identified by AI temporarily will be handed over to the manual review department.

In addition, there is a review mechanism.In view of the explosive trend, videos that will be put into a larger traffic pool to increase recommendation strength need to be manually reviewed for a second time.

The video of the shower door was discovered by the review, because it has a tendency to become a hit, and some users have watched it ten or twenty times...

Zhang Yida turned his attention to a bald, middle-aged man wearing glasses. This is the chief scientist of TikTek named Wang Qi, whom TikTok paid a lot of money to poach from Google's laboratory.

Zhang Yida asked Wang Qi: "Wang Gong, when will the second-generation AI video recognition system be launched?"

Wang Qi was unsmiling, and he explained: "The latest AI video recognition algorithm we are developing will surpass most of the mainstream algorithms currently on the market, and can effectively improve the industry's accuracy of automatic video labeling.

This is a new graph-based video modeling method that can express long videos with complex event content.

The main idea is to use the "deep convolutional graph neural network" to model video frames, shots, and events at multiple levels, and gradually abstract from the frame level, shot level, and video level, so as to obtain the overall expression of the video. And then classified.

A video includes frames, shots, scenes, events, etc., and the relationship between frames and shots and shots is very complicated, not just the sequence relationship between the front and back frames.

Compared with the recognition of text, pictures, etc., the recognition of video is much more difficult.

It can be simply understood as a point, line, and surface relationship.

I need time, and I also need manpower. The current product still has a lot of defects. If it goes online rashly, it may cause a lot of omissions in content review! "

Zhang Yida attaches great importance to the research and development of AI. With this tool, in addition to improving the accuracy of content review, it can also save a lot of labor costs.

He said to Wang Qi: "Wang Gong, you need manpower and resources here. Although I mentioned it to Zhang Lan, I only have one request, which is to ensure the accuracy of AI video recognition."

Wang Qi nodded, "I will do my best!"

Zhang Yida looked at Zhang Lan again and said, "Let's add some more manpower to the manual review team!"

"There are more than 500 people." Zhang Lan felt a little distressed about the labor cost, "Do you want to add more people?"

"Don't feel bad about the money, I don't want to see the shower door thing again."

Zhang Yida smiled, "Isn't there a second headquarters in Rongcheng? Put some manual review teams there, and the labor cost can be slightly reduced."

Zhang Lan responded, "That's fine! The newly recruited people will be placed there."

After the meeting, Zhang Yida returned to his chairman's office, ready to check today's work emails.

Zhang Lan hurriedly pushed the door open, "Mr. Zhang, a big V on Weibo wrote an article attacking us!"

As a result, Zhang Yida took a look at the mobile phone that Zhang Lan handed over. The general content of the article is as follows:

“The Doushi short video platform’s content review is lax, causing a five-year-old to misrepresent the video of his mother’s bathing…

This caused great harm and public opinion troubles to the parties involved.

Tiktok has not commented on the matter so far.Pretending to be an ostrich is useless. This incident greatly demonstrates the lack of content review mechanism and lack of commitment on the DouTV platform...

Douvision, you owe users an apology! "

In addition to this big V, dozens of other big Vs have also published similar critical articles.

Zhang Yida looked at the comment section of the article again, all scolding Doushi.

"Shaking Vision, Shaking Milk is not the same, a group of women are shameless, and shoot some dubious videos every day!"

"It's time for the country to rectify it. There are so many explicit videos on TikTok. My son is only 18 years old. He plays with TikTok every day. He's about to take the college entrance examination. It's really harmful!"

"Resist TikTok, start with me!"

……

Zhang Yida looked at the pure water army's comments, and smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.

This is definitely someone who is taking the rhythm, probably those few friends.

Fortunately, Weibo helped remove the hot search, otherwise the scene would have been even uglier.

"Zhang Lan, please go and post a clarification, and publish all the TikTok background playback data of the shower door video.

It is said that DouTV immediately discovered that the video was abnormal and blocked it.

Apologies again, please post more sincerely!
In addition, let the matter be blamed on friends and businessmen.

Just say: I hope that business competition will return to product quality, and I appeal to all friends and merchants not to harm users. "

Zhang Lan thought for a while, and then said: "Then I'll go ask Qiandu and Penguin for a streaming data?

There are only more than 200 views on Douvision, and hundreds of thousands of views on other platforms.

After publishing it, as long as users are not stupid, they should be able to appreciate the problems! "

"can!"

Zhang Yida waved his hand, "Hurry up and do it! Put the incident to rest as soon as possible!"
