Baidu is now one of the few companies with world-class expertise in every major AI area: speech, NLP, computer vision, machine learning, knowledge graph. Just idly, I find it interesting that practical applications of this technology seem to often funnel down to just this subset. There's a lot of room to apply machine learning to solve actual problems that many people have, but often its unclear that doing so would end up with results that are significantly better than traditional approaches; or how to achieve those results, tangibly. I'm sure we haven't heard the last of Andrew Ng; there are a lot of people who want those sorts of skills.
