It fully describes technology application and outcomes by combing development features of various application levels with core technologies, application areas and classic domestic and foreign companies.
Taking smart education as an example: data of the education area features rich media, large quantity and timing sequence. Breakthrough and wide application of big data technologies drive actual development of AI.
