How-to China: AI anchor to help the deaf community enjoy the Games more

Q: Could you enlighten us on the advantages of the AI hostess? What're the differences with a human sign language interpreter? Why such an AI-supported TV anchor was chosen for the upcoming Winter Olympics?

Yuan: I think the AI TV anchor could help with the continuous translation for the long texts, and ensure the least loss of the information.

Researches indicate and sign language users also conclude that human sign language interpreters can lose some information.

But the AI robots backed with our database can overcome this major barrier.

Statistics indicated that within special scenarios, the correct rate of sign language recognition could top 97 percent while the correct rate of sign language generation could be even higher.

The CCTV announced in November 2021 that it hoped to use the AI anchor in its TV broadcast.

In a bid to learn the particular journalism language, we studied the TV sign language anchor at the program Common Interest.

We teamed up with CCTV to broadcast on its app. It received widespread recognition, so that CCTV hoped to promote the AI anchor during the Winter Olympics on its app again.

We also upgraded our database with the Winter Olympics' particular scenarios.

The database is ever upgrading.
