Microsoft spins out 5-year-old Chinese chatbot Xiaoice

Microsoft is shedding its empathetic chatbotXiaoice into an independent entity, the U.S. software behemoth said Monday.

The announcement came several months after Microsoft announced late last year it would close down its voice assistant app Cortana in China among other countries.

Xiaoice has over the years enlisted some of the best minds in artificial intelligence and ventured beyond China into countries like Japan and Indonesia. Microsoft said it called the shots to accelerate Xiaoice’s “localized innovation” and buildout of the chatbot’s “commercial ecosystem.”

The spin-off will see the new entity license technologies from Microsoft for subsequent research and development in Xiaoice and continue to use the Xiaoice brand, while Microsoft will retain its stakes in the new company.

In 2014, a small team of Microsoft’s Bing researchers unveiled Xiaoice, which means “Little Bing” in Chinese. The bot immediately created a sensation in China and was regarded by many as their virtual girlfriend. The chatbot came just a few weeks after Microsoft rolled out Cortana in the country. Modeled on the personality of a teenage girl, Xiaoice aims to add a more human and social element to chatbots. In Microsoft’s own words, she wants to be a user’s friend.

Microsoft claimed that Xiaoice has a reach of 660 million users and 450 million third-party smart devices globally, at last count. The chatbot has found applications in such areas as finance, retail, auto, real estate and fashion, in which it claimed it can “mine context, tonality and emotions from text to create unique patterns within seconds.”

微软研究了5年的实体聊天机器人正式商用

微软美国软件巨hem 周一说，它正在将善解人意的聊天机器人小冰变成一个独立的实体。

微软在去年年底宣布将关闭其在中国的语音助手应用程序Cortana 之后的几个月，就宣布了这一消息。

多年来，Xiaoice吸引了一些人工智能方面的顶尖人才，并超越中国进入了日本和印度尼西亚等国家。微软表示，采取行动加快了Xiaoice的“本地化创新”并建立了聊天机器人的“商业生态系统”。

分拆后，微软将获得新的实体许可技术，用于随后在Xiaoice进行研发，并将继续使用Xiaoice品牌(日文版Rinna)，而Microsoft将保留在新公司中的股份。

2014年，微软Bing研究人员的一个小团队推出了Xiaoice，它的中文意思是“ Little Bing”。该机器人立即在中国引起轰动，被许多人视为他们的虚拟女朋友。微软在该国推出Cortana仅仅几周后，就出现了聊天机器人。Xiaoice以一个十几岁女孩的个性为模型，旨在为聊天机器人添加更多的人文和社交元素。用微软自己的话说，她想成为用户的朋友。

微软声称，Xiaoice的最新统计数据是，全球有6.6亿用户和4.5亿个第三方智能设备。该聊天机器人已经在金融，零售，汽车，房地产和时尚等领域找到了应用，声称它可以“从文本中挖掘上下文，音调和情感，从而在几秒钟内创建出独特的样式。”
