Saltlux Co., Ltd. (CEO Kyung-il Lee) drew attention by showcasing Metahuman 'ERIN' at CES 2022 held in Las Vegas from January 5th to 7th.
At this exhibition, Saltlux formed a booth with four themes: △DeepSignal△ Metahuman △TalkBot△ AI Contact Center (AICC) and welcomed on-site visitors.
There was a special guide at the Saltlux booth located in Eureka Hall in the CES 2022 Tech West exhibition hall. That guide is "ERIN," a Metahuman introduced by Saltlux.
The live-action Metahuman "ERIN" is equipped with a realistic appearance and more advanced face recognition function to deliver necessary information accurately and quickly such as company introduction and booth guidance to on-site visitors.'ERIN' also perfectly served as an ambassador for the Saltlux booth during the exhibition through various gestures, such as making finger hearts or shrugging along with visitors, and received a lot of attention and love from on-site visitors.
An official in charge of Saltlux Metahuman said," ‘ERIN’ is a situational cognitive intelligence system that emphasizes virtual humans aiming for multimodal interaction as an integrated body of Saltlux AI technology at the center of the UI.During the exhibition, the age, gender, expression, costume, and accessories of a person moving in front of the Metahuman or staring at the kiosk were recognized in real-time and used as an input for the Metahuman's decision-making actions. In the future, it will be applied to service domains that need to solve problems through emotional conversations.”
Deep Signal Technology, which was also unveiled during the event, is a "super-personalized artificial intelligence service that learns, searches, organizes and acts like an individual," which analyzes users' thoughts and preferences and collects related information from deep webs around the world in real-time and provides personalized data such as network maps and institutional information.It also tracks users' topics of interest for 24 hours all year round to support functions such as tracking issues and notification when detecting anomalies.
Saltlux also unveiled their independently developed 'TalkBot', the only knowledge graph-based Chat-Bot in Korea. 'TalkBot' is an AI chat-bot that boasts accurate response quality of more than 93% and enables in-depth knowledge-based conversation by applying a "high-performance natural language understanding (NLU) engine" based on large-scale language resources such as Asia's largest 1 million language corpus.It also has various strong points such as self-knowledge enhancement and multiple channel support andit proves that it is ready for services based on the 4th industrial revolution by supplying domestic government, public institutions, and private and financial companies like Arelli, a Canadian innovative company, including National Secretary "Goobbi," NH Nonghyup Bank, Korea Investment & Securities, Korea Electric Power Chatbot, and BMW Financial Service Korea.
An official from Saltlux said, "We plan to launch a super-personalized AI service that can be used by all people around the world by utilizing our artificial intelligence and data-related technologies and launch a new business that combines Metaverse and Metahumans. Furthermore, we want to grow into a unicorn company with a corporate value of more than KRW 1 trillion by 2025 through strategic business cooperation and aggressive investment with subsidiaries and partners.”
Meanwhile, in addition to Saltlux, INFINIQ, AIFORPET, OUaRLaB, AIMMO, and MJ Vision Tech introduced solutions using data for artificial intelligence learning.
