Chapter 743 Yahoo Research
Stagram, the uploaded pictures are far from instagram, but in history, these data will soon be subverted. Even Zhou Shi is difficult to change this trend now. Most of the user groups of f1ickr are professionals, with high requirements but no value creation.
"What do you think we should do?" Zhou Shi asked Bright Taylor. After this period of contact, Zhou Shi found that he was indeed very thoughtful, and more importantly, he was young and obedient.
"I think you still lack a product manager training master!" Bright Taylor
"Yes, Yahoo has a group of very smart people, but it's a pity to have strength but it's useless. But it's hard to find a good product manager, let alone the people who train product managers." Zhou Shi
"I have a good candidate, Marisa Mayer of Google, I grew up under the training of Google Project Managers she hosted." Bright Taylor
"Marisa Mayer, yes, but will she come to our current situation? You must know that ai and mobility are our general direction and will not change because of her." Zhou Shi
"I'll ask first! Marissa is said to have encountered the ceiling at Google!" Although Bright Taylor left Google, there were still friends inside and they knew some gossip.
"Okay, but there is no hurry to change the f1ickr version, but the free f1ickr cannot be delayed. It should be no problem to relax the capacity limit to 1g!" Zhou Shi
"No problem, we can do it!" Bright Taylor
"Then let it do it first, let me know if there is any news!" Zhou Shi
Yahoo is a company with tens of thousands of people. Zhou Shi himself is not good at management. The specific things must be based on outsiders. What can be changed is the matter at the headquarters. As for branches around the world, he is powerless. He is not a genius like Zuckerberg, nor is he as insidious as Zuckerberg, and many things cannot be done. The reborn prophet trained him to use general trends to suppress people and use open conspiracy to crush his opponents. If Yahoo can complete intelligent mobile, even if the product starts to be a little worse, through continuous iteration and personnel adjustment, I believe it will have a good effect. Lei Jun’s theory of Fengkou is not unreasonable, but too many people say this, and too much emphasis will have a counterproductive effect. Fengkou is still a problem of trends. Zhou Shi knows the trend more clearly than anyone else.
The Yahoo version of Toutiao is still operating silently, without any relationship with Yahoo. However, with the increase in news content, the improvement of recommendation methods, the use of information flow, and the partiality of Time Android, it is more gratifying. Toutiao is certain to use information flow. On the mobile side, only information flow is the most effective tool for loading advertisements, and the harm to user experience is also the least. As for Yahoo News, it has also made certain adjustments, but insisting on manual recommendations has prompted them to increase the frequency of news delivery, and information flow is also a problem they must consider.
Seeing that today's Toutiao and Yahoo News are increasingly meeting their requirements, Zhou Shi finally felt much more relieved. Yahoo's three core artificial intelligence and search, news, instant messaging and short videos have been arranged. Well, it seems that there is no search part. This question is very simple. Why does Zhou Shi have the courage to promote a11inai in Yahoo? Yahoo is not a company without foundation. The Yahoo Research Institute is now a very awesome research institution. The Yahoo Research Institute, established in July 2005, is
The first company to realize the need to apply basic research, especially machine learning and artificial intelligence research, to actual products. Its main person, Usama Fiad, worked at Nasa and Microsoft Research Institute, and held the first KDD conference in Montreal, Canada in 1995. Since then, KDD conference has become a top conference in data mining, data science and applied machine learning. He himself is an important leader in the field of data mining and the first data officer in Yahoo and the Internet history.
Under the auspices of Usama Fiad, Yahoo's Research Institute was established, and Prabaka Ragavan was invited to become the director of the Institute. This person is a well-known scholar, an academician of ACM, Ieee, and an academician of the American Academy of Engineering.
Yahoo Research Institute has also published a series of valuable research results and established its prestige in academic research in a very short time. It has won a series of influential best paper awards, covering search, advertising, recommendation systems, data mining, machine learning, human-computer interaction and many other aspects. It is precisely because of the establishment of this research institute that Zhou Shi has the confidence to promote Yahoo's brain. Otherwise, starting from scratch, what do you think is a pig's feet? You can build a huge scientific research system out of thin air!
Yahoo Research Institute is also the first company to use machine learning to improve the search quality of search engines. It can be said that in terms of technology, this company that is about to decline has scientific research talents from all single Chinese Internet companies at this stage. Even if you invest the most in talents, you can't go to Yahoo Research Institute in your background. It was just a joke that Pichai was the president of the Time Research Institute. He really couldn't find a suitable candidate and asked him to preside over the work of the Institute.
Yahoo not only has excellent talent reserves but also has rich user data. The globally unified Yahoo account can play a great role even in the mobile era. For example, the current Yahoo News app has a large amount of downloads as soon as it was launched, and it can be said that it has brought a lot of traffic.
Yahoo's search technology is guaranteed. The problem is that Carlbates almost gave up Yahoo's search at that time and instead cooperated with Microsoft. In history, this cooperation lasted for ten years, but with Zhou Shi's participation, it was finally set at 7 years. In addition, Yahoo has the right to terminate the contract in the third year. This insistence is undoubtedly very correct now. In other words, after the year, the cooperation between Yahoo and Microsoft will expire, and Yahoo Search, which has regained its freedom, will be launched again. It can be said that Yahoo's search technology is better than Microsoft Bing. Yes, Microsoft's search finally chose to use bing as their independent search brand. Zhou Shi's previous domain name investment was also a little money.
Even without Zhou Shi, the exhibition of Ye1p still maintains a strong momentum, which has accelerated the promotion of first- and second-tier cities around the world. Although the localization exhibition of Ye1p's management teams around the world is a bit stumbling, as long as you walk on the right path and the human resources accumulated by Yahoo for many years, it can still solve most of the current problems. However, only God knows what problems will be with personnel exchanges and communication between the two companies. It seems that you still have to find an excellent CEO, or it's Indians' failure to forget about the strength of Indians. The strong management ability of Indians may be because there are too many lower-level workers who have not undergone modern science and management training. This is what Chinese people have to admire. The legend of the post-80s rebirth
