Cloudwalk in vivo detection algorithm covers many categories, e.g. active in vivo detection, silent in vivo detection, infrared in vivo detection, structured light/TOF in vivo detection and 3D in vivo detection.
The Cloudwalk in vivo detection camera based on the original core algorithm developed by Cloudwalk is the first product of its kind in China to pass the national standard test, with the in vivo detection performance reaching the highest security level (enhanced level) in the financial payment standard. Supporting infrared monocular/binocular camera for in vivo detection, the Cloudwalk in vivo detection camera achieves in live detection and face recognition algorithms on low computing platform with embedded module featuring fast startup and low power consumption as well as simplified and optimized neural network.
Cloudwalk launched its first 3D structured light face recognition technology in February 2018. Compared with the previous 2D face recognition and infrared in vivo detection technology, the 3D structured light technology has made a great leap forward in security, recognition accuracy and recognition speed. It achieves an accuracy of above 99% at an error rate of 1/1000000 and reduces the recognition time from 1-2 seconds to 1-2 milliseconds, so as to effectively defend against fraudulent means like masks and videos.

The Pyramidal-FSMN speech recognition model launched by Cloudwalk has broken the world record on Librispeech, the largest open source speech recognition dataset in the world. Increasing the recognition accuracy to 97.03% and reducing the word error rate (WER) of Librispeech to 2.97%, which is an increase of 25% over the original target, the Pyramidal-FSMN speech recognition model significantly refreshed the previous record, surpassing the strictly trained professional human stenographer.

Natural language
processing
Cloudwalk has made several world-class achievements in the field of natural language processing:
Semantic perception:
By tagging the model using the pre-trained semantic role, the SemBERT semantic awareness multi-task pre-training language model jointly launched by Cloudwalk and Shanghai Jiaotong University introduces explicit context semantic label information to enhance the modeling performance of the deep language model, which significantly improves the benchmark model in terms of the 10 natural language comprehension tasks, even reaching the world’s leading level.
Machine reading comprehension:
The DCMN model, a reading information matching mechanism jointly developed by Cloudwalk and Shanghai Jiaotong University, topped the RACE dataset of a large deep reading comprehension task launched by Carnegie Mellon University, becoming the first model in the world to surpass mankind. With the DCMN model, machine reading achieved a correct rate of 72.1%, 4.2% higher than the previous best result (67.9%), and surpassed the score achieved by mankind (69.4%) for the first time in the high school test.
After that, Cloudwalk and Shanghai Jiaotong University launched DCMN+, an enhanced model based on DCMN, to adapt to the bi-directional matching strategy of multi-choice machine reading comprehension. With large-scale pre-training models like BERT as the front-end encoder, DCMN+ achieved the most advanced level in many multi-choice machine reading comprehension tasks (e.g. RACE of Carnegie Mellon University).

Dual-mode heterogeneous
intelligent scorecard
Cloudwalk has made a number of significant functional breakthroughs in this field:
The model can automatically search and mine features. With the search strategy manually configured, the model is able to automatically process and screen features to find the most effective feature combination, and apply the automatic feature engineering to mine feature combinations and bin the features, without manually selecting the features and adjusting the binning. Users only need to define the search range of model parameters, and the algorithm can automatically search and adjust the optimal model parameters. Using the decision-making tree for feature extraction, this model is characterized by strong nonlinear feature fitting ability. Experiments on multiple datasets show that with an effect similar to that of other models established based on the decision-making tree algorithm, e.g. LGB and XGB, this model can output the risk value corresponding to each feature and feature combination and then deploy these values through the decision-making engine.

learning training engine
Cloudwalk has independently researched and developed a model training platform for algorithm engineers. By inputting the training dataset and adjusting the model parameters and label features, algorithm engineers can complete the model training and publish the model to the inference platform. There are three types of machine learning algorithms, i.e. supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised algorithms, which are used to solve the following problems: classification (supervised and semi-supervised algorithms), regression (supervised algorithms) and classification (unsupervised algorithms). Users can train self-developed algorithms on the training platform by uploading the configuration files and the input and output codes of the algorithms.
