Artificial Intelligence, or artificial intelligence, like immortality and interstellar travel, is one of the best dreams of mankind. Although computer technology has made great strides, so far, no computer has produced a sense of "self". Yes, a computer can be very powerful with the help of humans and lots of readily available data, but without both, it can't even tell a cat from a dog.
Turing (Turing, everyone knows it. The originator of computer and artificial intelligence, corresponding to his famous "Turing machine" and "Turing test" respectively) In his 1950 paper, he proposed the idea of Turing's test, namely , dialogue through the wall, you will not know whether you are talking to a person or a computer. This undoubtedly sets a high expectation for computers, especially artificial intelligence. But half a century later, the progress of artificial intelligence is far from the standard of the Turing test. This not only makes people who have been looking forward to it for many years, disheartened, thinking that artificial intelligence is a sham and related fields are "pseudoscience".
But since 2006, breakthroughs have been made in the field of machine learning. The Turing experiment, at least not so elusive. As for technical means, it not only depends on the parallel processing ability of cloud computing for big data, but also on algorithms. This algorithm is, Deep Learning. With the help of Deep Learning algorithms, humans have finally found a way to deal with the age-old problem of "abstract concepts".
In June 2012, the New York Times disclosed the Google Brain project, which attracted widespread public attention. This project is jointly led by Andrew Ng, a famous machine learning professor at Stanford University, and Jeff Dean, the world's leading expert in large-scale computer systems, using a parallel computing platform of 16,000 CPU Cores to train a kind of "deep neural network" (DNN) , Deep Neural Networks) machine learning model (there are a total of 1 billion nodes inside. This network is naturally not comparable to the human neural network. You know, there are more than 15 billion neurons in the human brain, interconnected nodes. That is to say, the number of synapses is more like the number of sand in the Milky Way. Someone once estimated that if the axons and dendrites of all nerve cells in a person's brain are connected in turn and pulled into a straight line, they can be connected from the earth to the moon, from the moon back to the earth), has achieved great success in fields such as speech recognition and image recognition.
Andrew, one of the project leaders, said: "We did not frame the boundaries ourselves as we usually do, but directly put massive data into the algorithm, let the data speak for itself, and the system will automatically learn from the data." Another person in charge Jeff said: "We never tell the machine during training: 'This is a cat.' The system actually invented or understood the concept of "cat" by itself.
