SHANGHAI, July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- On July 4th, the 2024
World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2024) officially
opened. With this year's theme being "Governing AI for Good and for
All", it concentrated on the three major sections of core
technology, intelligent terminals, and application empowerment.
As a leading social platform which incorporates AI technology,
Soul App was invited to participate in the exhibition and
displayed a couple of its new features in AI field, such as
"Digital Twin","Werewolf Awakening", and "EchoVerse".
Three new functions are unveiled, demonstrating multimodal
interaction capabilities
At the WAIC 2024 event venue, Soul presented its booth under the
theme of "Human Touch, Digital Heart" and particularly demonstrated
three new features, namely "Digital Twin", "Werewolf Awakening",
and "EchoVerse", which constitutes Soul's latest practice in
exploring the profound integration of "AIGC + Social".
Among them, "Digital Twin" is dedicated to assisting users in
creating virtual digital humans for efficient socializing. Users
can authorize the platform to set the image and characteristics of
the digital twin based on chat records and posting content in
Soul's public domain scenes. In rich dimensions such as personas,
images, and voices, the digital twin can achieve the effect of
replicating a real person to the greatest extent.
Adhering to interest-based socializing, the Soul platform does
not support the utilization of real human profile pictures. Users
create virtual images through the avatar system for interaction in
the digital space. Currently, the launch of the "Digital Twin" with
private chat assistance capabilities not only helps users create a
more ideal "other self", but also enables more personalized and
diverse intelligent reply recommendations, facilitating users in
breaking the ice in socializing and enhancing social communication
efficiency when assisting with persona building and cognitive
decision-making.
Also, the introduction of AI entities in the game interaction
scenario "Werewolf Awakening" prominently showcases the multimodal
interaction capabilities of the large model. In this scenario,
users can opt for any combination mode of AI and real-person to
initiate the interaction and engage in a real game showdown with AI
entities possessing autonomous reasoning, speech, and "disguise"
capabilities. The "AI game companion" can also assist players in
quickly adapting to the relatively high threshold and complex
gameplay of the werewolf game, easily initiating communication, and
obtaining an enjoyable experience in a more immersive and real-time
interaction.
While integrating AI capabilities into in-site scenarios, Soul
has launched an independent new feature, "EchoVerse". This
feature is positioned as an AI social platform where users can
engage in immersive real-time communication with virtual characters
and customize the personas of the characters according to their
preferences to achieve different conversation styles. The image of
the character can be generated through text description or by
uploading a desired picture. The platform offers multiple basic
timbres, and users can independently create and fuse the exclusive
voice of the character to realize multimodal interaction.
"Synergic Model-application Interplay" practice, from
social improvement to human-computer interaction new
experience
In fact, as a platform that began contemplating the application
of AI in the social field relatively early, Soul has embarked on
the exploration of underlying technologies and application
implementation around AI since its launch in 2016.
For instance, by launching the intelligent recommendation engine
"Ling Xi" based on the full-scene portrait in the user station, the
platform helps users find people with the same interests with a
decentralized mechanism, and equally realizes the
establishment of multiple relationships and instant emotional
feedback, effectively improving the user experience. In addition,
the platform's NAWA engine enables users to create personalized
avatars and scenes for immersive interaction.
In 2020, Soul initiated systematic research and development work
on AIGC and has accumulated cutting-edge capabilities in
intelligent dialogue, image generation, and voice technology, such
as voice generation, music generation, voice animation, etc.
In 2023, Soul launched its self-developed large language model,
SoulX, which possesses capabilities such as prompt-driven,
conditionally controllable generation, context understanding, and
multimodal understanding, and can achieve emotional and congenial
interaction.
In 2024, Soul's voice generation large model was launched, and
the self-developed voice large model was officially upgraded. At
this stage, Soul's voice large model encompasses voice generation
large model, voice recognition large model, voice dialogue large
model, music generation large model, and is capable of supporting
functions such as real timbre generation, voice DIY, multi-language
switching, and multi-emotional real-person-like real-time
dialogue.
Nowadays, the achieved multimodal interaction capabilities of
Soul have been integrated into specific application scenarios
including Soul's "AI Godan", Werewolf Awakening, Digital Twin, and
EchoVerse, further realizing the enhancement and expansion in
aspects such as interaction efficiency, interaction quality,
interaction experience, and interaction objects.
"Users' willingness to continuously engage in conversations and
interactions with AI has already proved their recognition of the
experience provided by the platform. It also indicates the
sustainability of Soul's insistence on the direction of "Synergic
Model-application Interplay", said Tao Ming, the CTO of Soul
App.
AI is like finding the right hammer for the nail, Tao Ming said.
"Soul is one of the most popular Internet platforms among Chinese
young people. It is a natural application scene and a traffic
entrance. Our advantage is we can identify the actual needs of
users in the scene and the application of the large model can
also obtain feedback from users immediately."
