Booth Profile：
YUANFUDAO, an online education brand chosen by more than 400 million users in China, is the first “unicorn” company in the field of online K-12 education in China, valued at more than $15.5 billion.
YuanFuDao is one of the earliest enterprises to be put on record through the learning application program of the Ministry of Education. The company and its achievements have been covered by Reuters, CNN, The People's Daily, and many other media both within and outside of China. YuanFuDao was not only the official partner of the 2020 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, an event equivalent to the Super Bowl halftime show in China, but also the first online education company to ever partner with the Gala in history.
YuanFuDao had established the YuanFuDao AI research institute in 2014, making it the first online education company in the industry to establish an AI research institute and a cutting-edge technology laboratory. It consists of four laboratories: speech laboratory, visual laboratory, natural language understanding laboratory, and basic support laboratory. The AI Research Institute currently has nearly 100 members who come from Tsinghua University, Peking University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Microsoft, and many other top institutions in this field. The Institute commits to leading the research, development, and exploration of the application of global advanced technology in education scenarios. With the aim to “invest heavily in R&D and focus on the forefront", the YuanFuDao AI research institute has now openly shared more than 5 independent R&D technologies with the industry.
In 2018, the MARS data model of YuanFuDao AI research institute had won the first place in the "MS MARCO Machine Reading Comprehension Test.” Microsoft had commented that "for the first time, a model has surpassed the human average in reading comprehension ability". In addition, the model had won one of the world's top AI events, the "Stanford Q&A Data Set”. YuanFuDao has also become the only online education company that has been recognized and praised by the “Queen of the Internet,” Mary Meeker.
