[Pangyo Tech] Naver expands ultra-large AI ‘Hyperclova’ ecosystem
Naver is expanding the ecosystem of ‘Hyperclova,’ a hyperscale artificial intelligence (AI) system that was first unveiled in Korea last May.
Naver announced half a year of technology R&D (research and development) and service commercialization achievements and future direction at ‘DEVIEW 2021’ held on the 25th.
Naver is making efforts to expand Hyperclova’s modality and language. Researchers Hyeong-seok Kim and Sang-woo Lee announced during the session that they were focusing on model performance evaluation and expansion as tasks after model development. In particular, the plan is to expand Hyperclova into a multimodal model that can understand not only text but also images and voices. On this day, researchers Shin Seong-jin and Kim Bo-seop shared the results of an experiment that expanded the Hyperclova language model to multiple languages and developed a model that understands both Korean and English simultaneously.
We are also accelerating the commercialization of Hyperclova in various services. Hyperclova technology is currently being applied to the ‘Care Call’ service for seniors living alone. Create virtual conversation data easily and quickly using Hyperclova without collecting user data. In addition, efficiency and safety were improved by having people inspect the product. Naver plans to soon launch a Hyperclova-based care call service that allows free conversation with seniors living alone and acts as a ‘talking friend.’
Hyperclova technology is also applied to various services such as search and shopping. Accuracy was improved by applying hyperscale AI to ‘Clova Forecast’, a logistics demand prediction model. In addition, Naver is conducting research to not only apply Hyperclova technology to internal services but also provide it to external partners so that they can utilize it in a variety of ways.
Seong Nak-ho, senior leader at Clova CIC, said, “Hyperscale AI is not a difficult technology that only certain experts can handle, but is becoming a platform that anyone can access and is accelerating the AI transition.” He added, “In the long term, partners outside of Naver will be able to use “By combining this with Hyperclova, we will be able to solve business problems and further expand Hyperclova’s ecosystem.”
