TAL’s AI Mandarin Teaching App Receives Recognition by UNESCO

Leave a comment

BEIJING, April 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — TAL’s Improving literacy, preserving language, and providing inclusion using AI and big data has been selects by UNESCO as one of the innovative projects of Mobile Learning Week 2020, under the theme “Artificial Intelligence and Inclusion”. 

UNESCO certificate presented to TAL Education Group
UNESCO certificate presented to TAL Education Group

TAL’s AI “Putonghua” Teacher is an app that allows Yi children, as well as other students from all backgrounds, access to Mandarin language learning resources and tools. The system requirements are minimal and mobile-friendly, available across all platforms and devices. One device or PC with audio capabilities are sufficient to run the system, making it easier for users to learn both on the go and in the classroom. The interface is easy to learn and navigate, even for self-learning students, without the need of teacher assistants.

The project focuses on helping improve the overall literacy rate, using AI speech recognition and big data, to increase opportunities for further inclusivity and social mobility within these rural communities. In 2018, Xueersi Online School under TAL, developed the AI Mandarin Teaching System specifically for Zhaojue County (Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Liangshan), Sichuan. The customized Mandarin-Yi bilingual learning module was developed for pre-school children there. Its system deeply integrates technologies, such as voice recognition and voice assessment, conducts intelligent real-time assessment and correction. Therefore, the program can help kids improve their mandarin proficiency. By November 2019, nearly 80,000 students and over 2,000 middle and primary school teachers have benefited from this program, which has laid the foundation for future education equity and poverty elimination in remote regions inhabited by rural communities. The idea is to help preserve the Yi language while connecting learners to the outside world.

Having been exhibited at multiple events, including China-CEEC Education Cooperation Exhibition and the 1st International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Education, the program has won worldwide recognition.

Mobile Learning Week (MLW) is the United Nations’ flagship event on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education, and has been organized by UNESCO and its partners for eight consecutive years. The 2020 edition of MLW, under the theme Artificial Intelligence and Inclusion, was postponed due to the outbreak. However, its design to steer the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) towards the inclusion and equity in education has succeeded, standing behind its core values of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and propeller of digital opportunities for all. It is noted that programs from Google and University College London are also among the recipients awarded Mobile Learning Week 2020 Innovation Certificate for their contributions.

Leave a comment

BEIJING, April 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Sohu.com Limited (NASDAQ: SOHU) (“Sohu”), China’s leading online media, video, search and gaming business group, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Changyou.com Limited (“Changyou”) that it did not already beneficially own, through the merger (the “Changyou Merger”) of an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (“Changyou Merger Co.”) of Sohu with and into Changyou, with Changyou being the company surviving the Changyou Merger. As a result of the Changyou Merger, Changyou has become a private company wholly owned directly and indirectly by Sohu and the American depositary shares of Changyou (the “Changyou ADSs”), each of which represented two Changyou Class A ordinary shares (“Changyou Class A Ordinary Shares”), are no longer traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Pursuant to the plan of merger for the Changyou Merger, each Changyou Class A Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Changyou Merger, other than Changyou Class A ordinary shares owned beneficially by Sohu, was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $5.40 in cash without interest, and each outstanding Changyou ADS was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $10.80 in cash without interest (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fees and other fees as applicable). Because Changyou Merger Co. owned over 90% of the voting power represented by all issued and outstanding shares of Changyou prior to the effectiveness of the Changyou Merger and the Changyou Merger was in the form of a short-form merger in accordance with section 233(7) of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, the Changyou Merger was not subject to a vote of the shareholders of Changyou.

In connection with the Changyou Merger, each outstanding and fully‑vested option (each, a “Vested Option”) to purchase Changyou Class A Ordinary Shares under Changyou’s share incentive plans was cancelled, and each holder of a Vested Option has the right to receive an amount in cash determined by multiplying (x) the excess, if any, of $5.40 over the applicable exercise price of such Vested Option by (y) the number of Changyou Class A Ordinary Shares underlying such Vested Option; and each outstanding but unvested option (each, an “Unvested Option”) to purchase Changyou Class A Ordinary Shares under Changyou’s share incentive plans will remain outstanding and continue to vest following the effectiveness of the Changyou Merger in accordance with the applicable Changyou share incentive plan and award agreement governing such Unvested Option in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Changyou Merger.

Changyou has requested that trading of Changyou ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Select Market be suspended, and that the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Form 25 notifying the SEC of Nasdaq’s withdrawal of the Changyou ADSs from listing on Nasdaq and intention to withdraw the Changyou Class A Ordinary Shares from registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Changyou has informed Sohu that it intends to file with the SEC, ten days after Nasdaq files the Form 25, a Form 15 suspending Changyou’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and withdrawing the registration of Changyou Class A Ordinary Shares under the Exchange Act. Changyou’s obligations to file with or furnish to the SEC certain reports and forms, including Form 20-F and Form 6-K, will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will terminate once the deregistration of Changyou Class A Ordinary Shares becomes effective.

China Renaissance, through its subsidiary CRP-Fanya Investment Consultants (Beijing) Limited, has served as financial advisor to Sohu in connection with the Changyou Merger; Goulston & Storrs PC has served as U.S. legal counsel to Sohu; and Han Kun Law Offices has served as PRC legal counsel to Sohu.

Houlihan Lokey (China) Limited has served as financial advisor to the committee of independent and disinterested directors established by Changyou’s board of directors (the “Changyou Special Committee”) to review and evaluate the Changyou Merger; and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP has served as U.S. legal counsel to the Changyou Special Committee.

Launch Ceremony of “Yiwugo Live Streaming” & Debut of Yiwugo Top Landladies

Leave a comment

YIWU, China, April 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, which is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world, held the “Launch Ceremony of Yiwugo Live Streaming & Debut of Yiwugo Top Landladies” at 2:00 pm, April 15, 2020. Ten landladies who had received the title of “Yiwugo Top Landladies” participated in the event and made their debut on the “Yiwugo Live Streaming” platform to recommend products for the audience.

The “2020 Yiwugo Top Landladies”, including Ye Yili from Shifeng Socks Firm; Long Dongzhao from Bacai Toys Firm; Fu Jiangyan from Zhangweichao Socks Firm; Deng Tingting from Nantong Ennas Home Textile Co., Ltd.; Zhang Jiying from Zhejiang Xingbao Umbrella Co., LTD; Li Jun from Yiwu Zongxin Shoes Co., LTD; Fang Hongying from Hongying Magnet; Shi Guangxu from Brilliant Diamond Painting DIY; Zhu Jingwen from Yiwu Chunchao Hatting Factory; and Zhang Limin from Yiwu Weigang Hardware Firm, not only brought the most recommendable flagship products of their stores, but also launched attractive promotional schemes for this live streaming show. Besides, Yiwugo invited Song Yu, the top host in Yiwu to moderate this live streaming show, and Mr. Wang Jianjun, CEO of Yiwugo, also participated to cheer for the landladies. The products introduced by the landladies during the live streaming show preceded waves of purchase orders.

Different from other streaming platforms that depend on “Internet celebrity” to bring traffic and orders, the “Yiwugo Live Streaming” platform featured the business owners who have great insights into the product features, production process and market advantages to recommend the products in person. As the purchase requirements of wholesale buyers are highly rational and professional, they require more specialized product introductions. As business owners know best about their own products, they may present professional product introductions through live streaming and directly address the concerns of the buyers, thus significantly increasing the deal-closing ratio and meeting the particular conditions of the Yiwu market.

2020 – Yiwugo Top Landladies

Besides, the “Yiwugo Live Streaming” platform, which is “grafted” onto the Yiwugo APP, also features a matching intelligent recommendation system. During the live streaming process, the system will automatically match and recommend live streaming businesses for interested buyers who have logged on Yiwugo according to their previous research and purchase data. Once the user followed a certain business, it will also receive live streaming recommendations from the business. As more functions are added to the “Yiwugo Live Streaming” platform in the future, Yiwugo will not only help buyers to easily locate their desired goods, but also contribute to closing more deals.
