Scholar’s Starry Sea

"Are you interested in artificial intelligence again?" Gu Ningshan asked Wu Bin with a curious expression.

"I am interested in interesting things, especially artificial intelligence, which will surely lead the times in the future. Of course I am even more interested."

After swallowing his mouthful of mashed potatoes, Gu Ningshan stirs the remaining potatoes while you say: "First of all, the perception department needs to think about one thing first. How does AI understand the surrounding world?"

"Secondly, The decision-making department will consider how AI will search and choose among many possible conditions according to the current problems that need to be solved, and find a solution that is most suitable for solving the problem."

Speaking of Gu Ningshan, he ate mashed potatoes and chewed To chew, "In the end, the action department is responsible for the realization, so that AI can connect with the world. At present, their goal is to allow AI to take charge of the factory's control system."

"en? Shouldn't it be Do you communicate with humans?" Wu Bin asked.

"That is a farther goal. In short, the design of AI is to treat these three points as a big circle. After you perceive the current world, you make a decision and act, and then make a decision. After taking the action, then observe what happened. Such a cycle of layers is the top-level architecture of AI."

"For example, you pass a bottle of Coke to an artificial intelligence. And make a look at him, it can understand that this bottle of Coke is for it, without any instructions."

"When it can and can do this, it is real Artificial intelligence, not like it is now, artificial intelligence just collects a lot of data and analyzes the results and acts according to the best results."

"Are you complaining about Alpha Dog?" Wu Bin asked after eating the last bite of the burger.

Gu Ningshan waved his hand: "It's not a spit, but I always think it can't be called artificial intelligence."

Wu Bin laughed: "Actually I am When I first learned a programming language, I found that computers are particularly'dumb', but now artificial intelligence is really just a dumb computer that collects more information. They can't do any independent thinking. Of course, when they can really do this. , It is estimated that the'Skynet' panic will erupt."

Pushing the plate aside, Wu Bin drank a Coke and said: "Also I ask you a question. Do you know why the artificial intelligence Going to play chess?"

"Of course~ what do you think I learned in the past two months?" Gu Ningshan spread out and replied: "Just like the decision-making steps I just said, play chess It is to let the decision-making system predict each different result, and then choose the best one. Within absolute rules, a program with a powerful algorithm can be said to be invincible, while playing Go can strongly prove that artificial intelligence is choosing. There has been a great breakthrough in the optimal route."

"This decision can also be applied to the assembly line of the factory and to clarify all the details of the space shuttle launch."

Wu Bin listened to nodded, "Unfortunately, this idea has been several decades, and it still hasn't been realized."

"If this question is so simple, why should scientists do it?" Gu Ningshan finally finished eating Take the last bite of mashed potatoes and put the small box aside, "But my teacher is still very confident in the development of AI. He thinks that AI is like exploring a new map, step by step to figure out which tasks can be automated. "

"Then I have a curious question. In what ways does your teacher think AI's progress will affect life in the short term?"

"In the short term? "Gu Ningshan thought for a while. "It's probably emotion recognition. Isn't it because the camera resolution is high enough that face recognition appears? Then if you go further through the details of the face and track the details of the entire face, you can pass Tracking and discovering the movement patterns of facial muscles, so as to understand what expressions you are doing now, and what you mean."

"Cowhide." Wu Bin nodded, "It seems that I have to spare a little time to read it. I’ve got a paper on artificial intelligence."

Taking a sip of a drink, Gu Ningshan put his chin on and said, "In fact, after two months, I have not only increased my knowledge in scientific research, but I am actually in In a new environment, many of my senses have also changed."

"Whether it’s in class or chatting with others, I can always I heard a completely different perspective of China from my understanding. "

Wu Bin: "en? Lao Mei thinks that we are all riding pandas out to eat Mapo Tofu all day long, the kind of nunchaku playing a set of kung fu from time to time?" "

"pu..." Gu Ningshan laughed, "You are the prejudice, in fact, whether it is foreign media or students, we are quite sure of our scientific research capabilities. Especially for Mathematics, as long as you have an Asian face, you are right in everything. "

"hahaha. "Wu Bin laughed twice, "After all, we have dominated IMO for so long. Hey, are you used to the food over there?" "

"It's okay, but when it comes to food, I found a very good Chinese restaurant over there. I also complain about it. I've heard that Chinese food is very popular in the United States before. Those Chinese dishes are completely different from what I imagined, such as the best-selling tangerine peel chicken...I didn't eat it at all! And other dishes have also been changed to sweet and sour. "

"Sweet and sour?" That's not very good. "

For Wu Bin, who loves sweet and sour short ribs, the sweet and sour taste has always been his favorite.

Gu Ningshan shook his head: "I said it was a magic change. , Anyway, I feel terribly unpalatable, you will know if you have a chance to try it next time. "

"Take it far, continue to talk about my very good Chinese restaurant, that restaurant is called lookandeat. "

"Wow...Is it so grounded?" "

"Yes, the decoration is also very down-to-earth, not the classic Chinese restaurant decoration with redwood decoration and full of lanterns, but the street food style. I really like this shop. Kung Pao Chicken. "

"Is it a Chinese opened it?" "Wu Bin asked.

"Well, both Boss and Lady Boss are from Haojiang. They have been in the United States for more than ten years. They are very kind. In fact, they don’t speak Mandarin very much, but they still work hard. Chat with me in Mandarin, ask where I am from, why I came to the United States, and praised me for a long time after knowing that I came to exchange and study, and then asked what I studied, what I plan to do in the future, and so on. "

"They also have a daughter named Nancy, but they usually call her candy, super cute! Little fellow is extremely curious, but a little afraid of life, so many questions are asked by her father's ears, and then let them relay them to me. "

Wu Bin finished listening to nodded, "Well, you are not afraid of life at all." "

"Of course, I am not a kid anymore. "Gu Ningshan raised his head proudly.
