As you know, Xiaomi also has its own virtual assistant, also to overcome the fact that Google Assistant is not present in China. Xiao AI, this is the name of the Chinese alternative that at home has met with considerable success, also intriguing Western users, who for obvious language reasons cannot test its goodness. Actually Xiao AI, among its characteristics, also has the English language as a dowry, added recently but although this is the global language of excellence, many still speak only the native language of their native country.
Xiao AI Global: the Xiaomi company could soon release a taste of it
But hopes are on, as it is news of a few now that Daniel Povey will join the Xiaomi development team. The new member is an experienced voice recognition programmer, the centerpiece of every smart assistant. Mr. Povey is also known for his stormy past: he was fired during the John Hopkins University protests and subsequently entered Facebook's courtship, an opportunity declined after several negotiations.
I am very close to signing an agreement to work for Xiaomi in Beijing. Would leave before end of 2019, and would hire a small team there to work on next-gen `PyTorch-y' Kaldi.

Su Tweet is the same Povey to make the announcement triggering the consensus of the most loyal fans. 2019 is scheduled to depart, where the first action will be to raise a team. He will leave for Beijing by the end of 2019, where he will put on a team to carry on the new generation of Kaldi, a voice recognition toolkit, available free with Apache license , which happens to be the case was initially developed as part of an 2009 seminar at the Johns Hopkins University.
All this will most likely serve to advance the development of Xiao AI, in a Global capacity and therefore with the introduction of new languages including Italian, a particularly thriving market in terms of economic results. And which voice assistant do you use? The classic Google Assisstant or do you have any tricks up your sleeve?
