Overview

HUAWEI HiAI is an open artificial intelligence (AI) capability platform for smart devices, which adopts a "chip-device-cloud" architecture, opening up chip, app, and service capabilities for a fully intelligent ecosystem. This assists you in delivering an optimal smart app experience for users, by fully leveraging Huawei's powerful AI processing capabilities.

In order to open up app capabilities, HUAWEI HiAI Engine provides a wide range of AI capabilities that can be integrated into apps. Aesthetic score, one such AI capability, empowers apps to:

• Understand human cognitive perception of images, such as what constitutes a beautiful, attractive, funny, or emotionally moving visual feature. This capability is applied in diverse intelligent image processing scenarios, during picture shooting, group image selection, video editing, and video splitting.
