"Duke, are you sure this is your course plan for this semester?" Professor Pol looked at the Duke's schedule in his hand. The wrinkles on my face seem to have deepened a lot. Eight courses, what are you kidding, is this Duke shallow or too arrogant? PhDs at MIT generally choose 2 courses a semester, even if they don't have to work for professors at all, they can ensure full dedication, most of them only choose 3-4 courses, watching Duke choose eight courses, Professor Pol, who is full of messy silver hair, does not believe that this genius who is optimistic about him makes such a choice for no reason, he is waiting for Duke's explanation.

Sure enough, Duke was secretly glad that he was prepared, otherwise he would have been prepared to bear Professor Pol's monstrous wrath.

Duke took out his own course review, of course, these are the four courses in this major, Professor Pol was surprised to take Duke's thick stack of printing materials, and quickly browsed it, and the course he happened to see was taught by him, so Professor Pol was more and more surprised the more he looked, and soon finished reading the review of this course. After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Professor Pol pointed to certain topics in the material and asked a few questions, which Duke answered very easily.

"You really don't need to take this course anymore," Professor Pol said happily after listening to Duke's answer: "The level of your professional knowledge is beyond my expectations, and if there are no important issues, I hope you can serve as a teaching assistant for this course." Although it sounded like a negotiation, Duke knew he had better say yes. While my time is indeed precious, it is impossible not to contribute to Professor Pol at all. This bit of emotional intelligence is still not lacking in Duke.

"It's my pleasure, Professor." Duke replied happily. "The second major I chose happened to be my undergraduate major, and I thought I could handle it, after all, I had studied most of the basics." Duke continued to explain about the choice of the second major, as for the courses of this major, he handed over these course review reports, and just passed the on-site test of Professor Pol, which proved that these courses are just preparing to make soy sauce, as long as they can attend classes on time and submit their homework reports on time.

This is completely in line with MIT's regulations, and there is very little trouble, if you apply for exemption, one course is not impossible, but you have to apply for 4 exemptions, oh, this is too rebellious, even if Professor Ball is a well-known professor at MIT, it is impossible to open this kind of back door. Therefore, although Duke is capable of going against the sky, he has no idea of exempting from cultivation.

Since Professor Pol has passed the examination of Duke's basic knowledge, and there are excellent results in the research of Sala input method, so the research professor also hopes that Duke can join the team as soon as possible, in the current research of Pol's artificial intelligence, mainly focusing on knowledge discovery, which is very similar to the background technology used by Siri, mainly through the comprehensive use of statistics, rough sets, fuzzy mathematics, machine learning and expert systems and other learning means and methods, Abstract knowledge is extracted from a large amount of data, so as to reveal the internal connection and essential laws of the objective world behind these data, and realize the automatic acquisition of knowledge. Obviously, this is a challenging research topic with broad application prospects.

To mine and discover knowledge from data, we must first solve the problem of the expression of discovered knowledge. The best way to express it is natural language, because it is the language of human thinking and communication. Therefore, the most fundamental problem in the representation of knowledge is how to form concepts expressed in natural language.

In Duke's Sala input method,In fact, a lot of this knowledge has been used,To achieve a high recognition rate of speech recognition,The core part is the ability to abstract and refine various speech features,But this part of the work is done by Kerry,Now what Duke has to do is to transplant Kerry's ability copy to the earth's computer。

Although Professor Pol did not have the opportunity to understand the implementation process of Sala input method, but with the intuition of the world's top experts, Pol was able to judge that relevant technology should be used in Sala, which is the main reason why Professor Pol readily agreed to Dr. Duke's application, his research in this area has been carried out for many years, but has not achieved breakthrough development, his research team needs to add some fresh blood to make a breakthrough, of course, not that nothing, At least there is a lot of progress at this level like Siri, but it's not enough, if you've used Siri, you know that it's at best a baby's intelligence level.

Professor Pol's research is in line with Duke's expectations, because in Duke's next step, one of the directions of speech recognition applications is to make machines understand parts of natural language, which is inseparable from artificial intelligence. As we all know, the current computer foundation is binary, that is, 0 or 1 based development, to make the computer understand human language, this is really not ordinarily difficult.

Let's put it this way, there are too many puns in human language, and even for a simple sentence as simple as "have you eaten", there are so many different connotations in different contexts that it is enough to drive computer logic crazy.

For example, if a Beijinger meets and asks, "Have you eaten?" is just a commonplace greeting, if you foolishly think that the other party is going to have a treat, you are two.

If two acquaintances call and ask, "Have you eaten?", if the two are close to the meal, it may be an invitation to eat together, if the two are far away, it is just a caring greeting.

Even the tone of speech is different, and the connotation in the same language is also very different.

In such a variety of contexts, it is very easy for human thinking to distinguish whether it is a greeting or a greeting, but the computer is not good, it only has the ability to reason logically, such as language communication, which is almost infinite combinations, how many restrictions do you have to give to make the computer understand?

From the perspective of thinking, there have been few breakthroughs in artificial intelligence compared with the human brain, and the predicament is largely limited by the current computer architecture, after all, artificial intelligence applications are ultimately handed over to computer logic to execute.

In this regard, the bionic biological computer provided by Billem is completely different, after Duke's use during this time, it is found that Kerry not only logical reasoning far exceeds the level of contemporary computers, but his thinking ability is very close to the human intelligence of the earth, at least in terms of imitation and summarization compared to Duke, it is even better.

In terms of artificial intelligence, Billem also left more things to Duke through Kerry, but those things are based on the bionic biological computer platform, and if you want to use it on the current mainstream binary computer, the conversion difficulty in the middle is not ordinarily high, and maybe some things are not possible at all. However, even if a small part is used, it may be a huge breakthrough for the current progress of artificial intelligence.

Therefore, for Professor Pol's request, Duke also confidently agreed, and will join the project team starting tomorrow. He believed that after his joint operation with Kerry, he would definitely be able to find a breakthrough point, and he didn't need to copy a Kerry, which was basically impossible. He just needs a little bit of a breakthrough, and it's enough to study the results that can overcome applications like Siri.

After discussing the lesson plan and research topic with Professor Pol, just as Duke was about to leave, a familiar figure entered the door.

PS: During the sub-push, basically maintain the two more level, the second more is about 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock, and the sub-push of the manuscript is really hard!
