BEIJING, March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Zuoyebang, China's leading online after-school education start-up, was

recognized by MIT Technology Review's 10 Breakthrough Technologies ("TR10") as

one of the key players in "remote everything". Wang Yan, Chief Architect of

Zuoyebang, attended the unveiling event and delivered a keynote speech on how

innovative remote technologies have accelerated Zuoyebang's development, with

Zouyebang now an industry leader with the largest user base in China.

TR10 is an annual selection of the year's most important technologies. Launched

in 2001 and published by the editors of MIT Technology Review, TR10 identifies

emerging technologies that have the greatest potential to be commercialized and

change the world. On this year's list, "Remote everything" was highlighted due

to its importance for reinventing healthcare and education amid the global

COVID-19 pandemic. Zuoyebang's robust growth testifies to its strength and

potential for helping address students' individual needs and the imbalance of

education resources across different areas.

Wang Yan noted that remote technology, in conjunction with other technologies

such as big data and AI, will continue to power online education and transform

traditional learning. Wang said remote technology will continue to rise in

significance and that inclusiveness is the most important outcome of online

education, echoing Zuoyebang's mission of "making quality education accessible

to all".

Taking Zuoyebang as an example, its strength in distance learning is mainly

reflected in two areas, namely live streaming courses and the photo search

function for problem-solving. For live streaming courses, Zuoyebang has

upgraded its technological infrastructure and developed proprietary

technologies that withstood the surge of traffic in the early period of

COVID-19, ensuring stable and smooth connections for over 33 million students.

To make learning more interactive and personalized, Zuoyebang also provided

different class sizes, including 1-N large classes, interactive classes for

groups of six students, and after-class tutoring for 1v1.

As to Zuoyebang's photo search and problem-solving tool, Wang said that

Zuoyebang has optimized its AI algorithm, significantly increasing recognition

rates for photos of books, handwriting and screens. Thanks to a massive,

parallelized GPU computing cluster, Zuoyanbang can complete a search within

200ms. Moreover, it can complete one million searches per minute of its library

of over 300 million questions, and provide step-by-step explanations, with an

accuracy rate higher than 97%. Zuoyebang has the largest user base in China's

online after-school education market, with more than 50 million daily active

users, 170 million monthly active users, and 800 million registered user

devices in total. Wang emphasized during the round-table discussion that

Zuoyebang has committed to technological innovation and developing cutting-edge

technologies including big data, computing and AI, and will continue to

optimize the online education infrastructure and improve the learning

experience.
