TOPIC：
Embrace intelligence, new exploration of AI video coding technology.

With the increasingly prominent role of video and interaction in daily life, increasingly diverse video scenes and ever-increasing visual pursuits pose higher challenges to video coding. Compared with a variety of video coding technologies that people manually design, AI coding can learn a wider range of inherent coding rules from big data. Industry and academia have made efforts to promote AI video coding standards and explore new frameworks. Alibaba Cloud Video Cloud has made important contributions to the JVET video coding standard for human eyes and the MPEG video coding standard for machine vision, which has given a strong impetus to the development of the standard. Combining scenes such as video conferencing and live video streaming with strong industrial demand, Alibaba Cloud Video Cloud has also developed an AI generative compression system, which saves 2-3 times the bit rate of VVC under the same quality, and realizes true ultra-low bit rate video communication.

the speech topic:
Re-evolution of codec: Ali266 and next-generation video technology.

The past year has witnessed the unprecedented events of mankind in a century, and has also witnessed the accumulation of various video applications. The explosive growth of video data volume brought about by this has intensified the urgent demand for low-level hard-core technologies such as high-efficiency codecs. It was in such a big environment that shortly after the latest video codec standard VVC, which was jointly launched by the two major standards organizations of ITU-T VCEG and ISO/IEC MPEG, was finalized, Alibaba’s video team began to fully invest in the development of VVC software codec. Development work. After a year of hard work, our recently launched Ali266 not only realized the high-definition real-time VVC encoding capability for the first time in the industry, but also fully demonstrated the powerful compression efficiency of VVC. This keynote speech will bring you the development process of Ali266 and our prospects for the implementation of Ali266 in cloud collaboration, 5G network and cloud computing environments. Finally, we conclude with the technical and business challenges faced by the video industry in the "post-VVC era", and hope to bring you a meaningful "food for thought".
