After a highly concerned man-machine war, Alpha Dog can be said to have become famous in a fight, although it is not a household name, but there are indeed many more people who know its name.

However, in fact, before the defeat of Lee Sedol, the original AlphaGo Fan swept the European Go championship with a 5-0 record, so it appeared on the cover of the international academic journal "Nature", which has caused a lot of repercussions in the artificial intelligence circle.

However, Google was clearly not satisfied with this, and it didn't take long for the man-machine war that caused heated discussions around the world to be staged.

The second-generation AlphaGo, Lee, made his debut and defeated the professional nine-dan player Lee Sedol with a score of 4:1, becoming the world's first artificial intelligence to defeat the Go world champion.

Lian Zhan Lianjie, Google, which has already taken the top, quietly threw their three generations of AlphaGo and Master on the Internet, and it only took a few weeks to create a record of 60 consecutive wins, and these 60 players are all top masters of China, Japan and South Korea, and even include Ke Jie, the No. 1 chess player in China.

At this time, Alpha Dog has completely attracted enough attention and has become the number one star in artificial intelligence, and once again caused the question "Is artificial intelligence about to wipe out human beings and occupy the earth?" Such remarks.

So is Alpha Dog's intelligence really that powerful?

No, in fact, in the eyes of experts in artificial intelligence, the three generations of "Fan, Lee, and Master" can sweep the Go world not by "intelligence", but by massive data.

Because they will learn from the opponent's game before the game, so that when the opponent makes any move in the game, they will be listed by all the possibilities of the next step, and then push back step by step, and finally choose the hand with the highest winning rate.

To put it simply, Alpha Dog actually can't even understand the rules of Go, it can only play prepared battles, and if it is allowed to play on the spot, it may not even be able to win an amateur chess player.

What about the word "intelligence"?

Recently, due to experiments, papers and a bunch of trivial matters, Wu Bin's daily time visiting the official websites of major scientific research journals has indeed decreased a lot, so he asked curiously: "Zero...... What's the new trick Google has played? ”

Gu Ningshan thought for a while and replied, "It should be said that it is a big step towards true intelligence." ”

"Are you starting to focus on this one?"

Gu Ningzha first glanced at Wu Bin with some surprise, and then nodded and said: "That's right, the biggest feature of Zero is that it can learn from a blank state, and it can still quickly learn Go by itself without any human input." ”

"Oh? That's kind of interesting. Wu Bin nodded, showing interest.

Seeing Wu Bin's glowing eyes, Gu Ningshan first snickered, and then said: "This time Zero should be regarded as really learning the rules of Go by himself, and the AI has begun to gradually adjust the parameters from the losing or winning games, so that it has changed from using data streams to brute-force crack the opponent's chess path to it will really choose those moves that are conducive to winning the chess game." ”

Wu Bin: "How effective is it?" ”

"That's amazing, this Zero only taught himself for three days before he pressed the second generation Lee to the ground with an absolute score of 100 to 0, and then after another 40 days, the third generation Master also became his chess ghost."

"It's kind of interesting, don't bully humans, start playing civil war......"

After the Master abused almost all the elite chess players of mankind, Google immediately announced that it would no longer participate in any chess games between machines in the future.

Chatting and chatting, the two had come to the Golden Arches, as usual, Wu Bin ordered a Big Mac set meal for Gu Ningshan, this girl said at the beginning that the Big Mac was so big, how could she eat it, but then it turned out that it was not enough for her to eat!

"Do you want another box of chicken nuggets?" Wu Bin turned his head and asked Gu Ningshan.

"I've got enough of a burger." Gu Ningshan shook her head.

"Okay, I'll eat it myself."

After ordering, the two of them took a plate and sat down casually, Wu Bin picked up a sip and then asked, "What do you think after reading this Zero?" ”

"How do you say it~" Gu Ningshan tore open the ketchup while thinking, "I think a single algorithm that can solve multiple complex problems is the first and most important step in creating a machine learning system and solving practical problems." ”

"Huh~ It's very profound, it seems that you have been learning well recently." Wu Bin smiled and praised, "What do you think of the professors in the Academy?" ”

Although HKUST has already had the idea of opening an artificial intelligence school, it has not been implemented in the end, so artificial intelligence is still classified as automation and computer-related majors.

Gu Ningshan, who has a strong interest in artificial intelligence, is also very resolute, and she was transferred to information technology in minutes, so far, she should be very satisfied with her choice.

"Pretty impressive." Gu Ningshan nodded, "Oh yes, Professor Zhang will give a lecture in the water lecture hall next week, you should be interested in listening to it." ”

"Which one...... Well!? Could it be Professor Zhang Yaqin? Wu Bin exclaimed.

When Wu Bin was still in the national team, Song Nanfeng mentioned Zhang Yaqin to him several times.

Entering the junior class at the age of 12, the first perfect Ph.D. in the history of George Washington University, and the former president of Baidu, these are all halos surrounding Zhang Yaqin, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most successful person in the junior class of HKUST.

Picking up a piece of fries, Gu Ningshan replied, "Otherwise, which Professor Zhang could it be." ”

Wu Bin took a bite of the burger and asked vaguely, "What kind of lecture is it?" ”

"It seems to be artificial intelligence and autonomous driving."

"Is he still doing research?" Wu Bin was a little surprised.

Zhang Yaqin has a total of more than 60 U.S. patents, which is completely lying on the gold mountain, and he is low-key after resigning as president of Baidu, so Wu Bin still thinks he has enjoyed life.

"I don't know if I'm doing scientific research or not, but I'll know if I listen to it, and if you want to come, I can help you reserve a place."

"Yes~ Comrade Xiao Gu, you have a lot of power."

"That's not it~" Gu Ningshan took a sip of Coke proudly.

"Okay, put away your little tail, let's talk about the topic just now, I think the emergence of ZERO means that Google has begun to pay attention to learning without rushing to win."

"That's the concept, this time they used 5,000 TPUs on ZERO, combined with deep neural networks, enhanced learning algorithms, and universal tree search, and I'm very curious to see where they plan to use this technology next."

"Yes~ I'm also curious......" Wu Bin chewed the burger and began to meditate.

PS: I don't know how to describe the four days...... I've had an exciting adventure in my life, and now I'm back from the adventure, and I'm starting to update!
