Song Bojun has been under a lot of pressure lately.

Especially in the past month as the technical director of Xinghai Technology's "Intelligent Robot", he feels that the pressure on his shoulders is increasing.

He is a well-known AI expert in China, and has served as the leader of the "Intelligent Speech Recognition" project team in Baidu, assisting in the development of the "Xiaodu" robot with the highest degree of intelligence in China, and in the field of intelligent speech recognition, he is confident that he is one of the best in the world.

Last month, he left Baidu and joined Xinghai Technology, one of the reasons is that there are countless AI experts in Baidu, and he is 36 years old, but he is only in the position of a middle-level technician, and there are many big bulls above his head, and his talents are not fully displayed.

The second reason is that Gao Tingyan, the manager of the personnel department of Xinghai Technology, agreed to give him an annual salary of 8 million after consulting the boss.

Of course, Song Bojun will not admit that he joined Xinghai Technology for money, and he joined Xinghai Technology in order to realize his higher life value.

But after taking over the project of "Intelligent Learning Machine", he immediately realized that his annual salary of nearly 10 million yuan was a bit hot.

Some are difficult to ride.

Because of this project, it is far more difficult than he imagined.

There are at least three major technical difficulties in front of him.

First, intelligent speech recognition.

It is required to be able to quickly and accurately analyze the meaning of the user's words, and the error rate is less than 1 in 10,000.

This is Song Bojun's best field, the project team he led, the speech recognition program, can currently control the error rate below 1 in 1,000, 1 in 10,000 is a bit difficult, but hard work, not impossible.

Second, intelligent learning programs.

What this program aims to do is to be able to learn autonomously like a human being, from 1+1 in elementary school to calculus in college, from the simple three laws of mechanics to complex quantum physics.

If you want to talk about similar technology, it is AlphaGo developed by DeepMind, but this intelligent program is only used in the field of Go, using deep learning, neural networks, Monte Carlo tree search method and other technologies, can carry out crazy self-play, self-training, in just a few days, you can become a god-level master in the field of Go.

After the launch of AlphaGo, it successively defeated the world Go champion Lee Sedol with a score of 4:1 and the Go genius Ke Jie of country Z with a score of 3:0.

Now the intelligent learning program that Xinghai Company wants to do can be the same as AlphaGo, in the field of learning, crazy independent learning, and master that massive amount of knowledge.

Eventually, it grew into a "know-it-all-knowing, all-knowing" super program.

After seeing such a demand.

Song Bojun was dumbfounded.

"It's just ...... Have one's head in the clouds. ”

"Go is a game of Go, just a single piece of knowledge, but the intelligent learning program that Mr. Chen wants to do includes all 'knowledge', which is equivalent to omnipotence, and the difficulty of realization has been increased by several levels, how can it be done?"

But Chen Jin doesn't realize that this can't be done, if AlphaGo's learning ability is 1, then he is 2, with 1, it is not difficult to achieve 2, with 2, it is not difficult to achieve infinity, this is what Taoism says, "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things"...... With "one", everything is easy to do.

Song Bojun smiled helplessly: "AlphaGo is the most advanced intelligent learning program abroad, although there are teams in China that have made similar products, but there is a certain gap from the most advanced level, as for Xinghai Technology, the foundation is completely 0, how to do it in one step, directly do'Three Lives and All Things', or first acquire an artificial intelligence team, and study it well." ”

Chen Jin accepted his suggestion and let people take the money and spend 20 million to wholly acquire an artificial intelligence studio called "Jueding".

But he did not cancel the requirement to realize the intelligent learning program, which is the core competitiveness of the "intelligent learning machine" and must be realized.

Third, video intelligent generation technology.

This is associated with the intelligent learning program, when the user of the learning machine, after raising his questions, all the questions that can be answered, the video intelligent generation program will package and integrate the relevant text, pictures, and video materials, automatically generate an explanation video, and automatically add dubbing...... Composite a video.

However, Song Bojun feels that the difficulty of this technology is actually lower than the second one, because as far as he knows, Ali has developed a picture generation technology to cope with the huge demand for pictures generated during the Double 11 shopping festival, which can generate hundreds of thousands of pictures in 1 second, saving the workload of countless artists.

Video production is much more complicated than picture production, but the video itself is composed of a large number of pictures, plus a robot dubbing, the difficulty is actually not particularly great.

As long as he is given enough time to take this technology, he can bring people to realize.

Intelligent speech recognition is not difficult for him.

Only the second "intelligent learning program", he felt that it was really difficult and difficult, and he had no clue about the difficulty, and he didn't know where to start.

He even recognized his own limitations and retreated.

"It looks like I'm ...... It's not a big deal, so is Mr. Chen, who has a good idea, but a technically blind person who doesn't understand technology at all makes me have a big head now. ”

"It's better to resign after a month, let Mr. Chen invite another master, this is a project, I really can't do it, and there are few people in China who can do it, I still don't want to occupy this position and delay the progress of the project."

In Song Bojun's heart, the idea of resignation arose.

This afternoon.

Just when Song Bojun was absent-minded and his thoughts were wandering, Mr. Chen asked people to call him over, took out a golden USB flash drive from his pocket, and placed it in front of him.

"Mr. Chen, what is this?" Song Bojun asked.

"Technical Information for Smart Learning Programs." Chen Jin said.

"This ...... Really? ”

Song Bojun was a little unconvinced: "I got it from there, is it useful?" Is it easy to use? How did you get there? ”

"Of course it works, it cost a lot of money to buy it! Also,This USB flash drive is encrypted,I will tell you the password,After the data inside is copied out,The USB flash drive will be automatically destroyed,The copied data can only be copied once,And then read-only locked...... You need to make good use of this information. ”

Chen Jin said that these technical materials, the size of which is 16GB, were written in five minutes by artificial intelligence Nuwa with her powerful computing power, and although the content in them is profound, it is easy to understand, fully considering the context of Oriental people, and can be easily learned and mastered.

"Bought with money? Such awesome technology that can be bought with money? ”

"Don't ask too much, the technical problems can't be solved, what am I asking you to do the "Smart Learning Machine" project? It's normal to encounter difficulties, but don't back down, I will help solve it and won't throw all the pressure on you. ”

"Well, you're right Mr. Chen."

Song Bojun took the USB flash drive, feeling a little embarrassed, his ability to bear it was still too poor, and he hadn't started doing it yet, why did he think it couldn't work? Although Mr. Chen is young, his realm is much higher than himself.

And when he copied the information in the USB flash drive to the computer, he roughly read dozens of pages of technical documents.

His eyes shone with an incredible light.

What appeared on his face was a surprise that bordered on fanaticism and madness.

Feasible, totally doable!

……

Back home.

I'm going to go back to my room and rest for a while.

"Son, there is something I will discuss with you."

Dad Chen Gang came over mysteriously and sneakily pulled him aside.
