AutoML in Hello's AI Platform and Quarkc: Building the Next‑Generation Front‑End Component Engine

The 2023 SECon Global Software Engineering Innovation Summit will be held in Shanghai on August 11‑12. The conference theme is “In the Era of Digital Intelligence, Transform and Lead Sustainable Development of Software Engineering,” featuring a main forum and fifteen vertical sub‑forums.

Among the sessions, the Hello technology team will present two topics: “Artificial Intelligence Algorithms and Applications” and “Front‑End Frontier Trends.”

Speaker: Ren Tianbing Topic: AI Platform AutoML in Hello’s Exploration and Practice

With the global popularity of ChatGPT, the AI field is experiencing a resurgence. Hello, an intelligent mobility company, embeds AI across all its services—from smart dispatch and driver‑passenger matching to intelligent marketing. The AI platform is crucial for building AI applications, yet developing and operating models consumes significant time and effort. To improve algorithm development efficiency, Hello has explored AutoML technology. Although AutoML presents challenges, Hello has accumulated experience and results through scenario‑driven practice and is willing to share these insights to advance AI technology together with the industry.

Speaker: Zhao Cun Topic: Quarkc – Building the Next‑Generation Front‑End Component Library

Front‑end component libraries have traditionally followed specific technology stacks, leading to duplicated effort when supporting multiple stacks or versions. To address this, Hello’s shared front‑end team developed Quarkc, a Web Components‑based engine that creates cross‑stack, framework‑agnostic components. Quarkc is designed for the future, avoiding constant rewrites caused by shifting front‑end frameworks.
