A summary of the cross-cutting of Internet and brain Science 2014

From March 2012 to complete the Book of "Internet Evolution", a more complete study of the past 7 years have been collated, more systematic elaboration of the Internet and brain science can each other as a reference point of view of future research. In the two years since then, my research has not progressed much.

Until 2014, with the further development of the Internet. Some new thinking began to emerge. This year, a total of 4 academic papers, 10 articles online. The feeling is more important in the following areas:

1. From the Internet Brain IQ research to find solutions to machine intelligence can transcend human wisdom

An important conclusion of Internet evolution is that the Internet is evolving in a direction similar to that of the brain, a conclusion that can be studied in several directions, including Internet neuro-reflective arcs, the internet's brain IQ, and the evolution of the Internet,

I am inclined to study the phenomenon of internet-like neural reflex arc. In the future, it is possible to connect the internet of Things, cloud computing, big Data processing, and identify new technologies and business models that may emerge,

But Professor Shi Yong Shan of the 2012 Academy of Sciences insisted that I start with an IQ study of the Internet brain. Because this is the closest direction to a quantitative analysis.

I have been struggling because on the one hand, the future of the internet we think will tend to be unified, but at present and quite a long time, but also very fragmented and widely used, on the other hand, human IQ test can not be used on Internet applications and systems.

It was not until the beginning of 2014 that there was a breakthrough in the IQ test and ranking of 50 search engines around the world.

、

The research was first published at the Moscow ITQM Conference on June 3, 2014, after which we found that the idea could be used to solve a problem that is currently hotly debated, can machine intelligence transcend human intelligence?

The Internet or search engine IQ test will be extended to any AI system, so that the machine and people share a set of IQ test bank test, you can see where the gap appears,

If a similar test is carried out every year in the future, it can be found that the speed of development of machines and human intelligence is not abnormal. This research thinking is written in the article June 23, 2014, "crack Turing Test, quantitative analysis of machine intelligence can surpass human", http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_591a83bf0101etwg.html

2. The problem of the development of virtual reality leading to the onset of internet brain dream scene

If the internet is seen as a giant system that evolves in the direction of the human brain, every important application of the Internet will find a corresponding reference in brain science,

With the advent of innovation such as Oculus, immersive virtual reality technology began to enter a new era, and the traditional virtual reality, this new period is no longer a virtual image and reality of the superposition of the scene (AR), is not seen in front of the huge screen display of three-dimensional stereoscopic picture (VR).

It began to integrate with big data, artificial intelligence, based on a huge amount of data, so that artificial intelligence services to virtual reality technology, so that people in which to obtain a sense of realism and interaction, so that the human brain to create an illusion, the vision, hearing, smell, exercise and other neural feelings and the Internet Dream System interaction, Create a sense of dream in a sober state (Real dream).

This revolutionary new era of the Internet, we can call the Dream era (the Internet Dream Age). The internet's dream era will produce new forms of social networking that are different from current social networks---dream networking. The study was written on November 12, 2014 in the article "Human beings are about to enter the Internet Dream Age (IDA)". Http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_591a83bf0102v6ll.html

3. Development of the Internet neural Network system and the large social network (big SNS) proposed

We know that there is a network of neurons in the human brain, and through the sensory system, the motion system interacts with the outside world, how the Internet's neural network will develop, the April 23, 2014, "The Internet brain development under the big Social Network," elaborated this issue, proposed:

The "Brains" program launched by the world's internet giants, including Google and IBM, is also limited to the wisdom of improving its machine systems through artificial intelligence algorithms such as deep learning. While ignoring the human factors, human intelligence, People's initiative in the future architecture of the Internet play a central role.

In China, there are at least three heavyweight social products QQ, Sina micro-Hirokazu, by the end of 2013, the number of users exceeded 700 million, 600 million and 600 million respectively. Almost all of China's population and even the world's population. They communicate with each other through social accounts, express their feelings, answer their questions, and share new knowledge and wisdom. These social accounts, like neurons in the brain, are constantly activating and extinguishing, linking to each other, releasing the information shockwave and then spreading outwards ...

These more than 1 billion social accounts represent the "internet neurons" are forming a brand-new "brain", to some extent, the "brain" mood also reflects the world's internet sentiment, the "brain" to the world's understanding of the world is also reflected in the Internet, the wisdom of the "brain" reflects the wisdom of the Internet. The foundations of these emotions, perceptions and wisdom need to be dug deep into the big data of astronomical numbers in these social networks.

As the Internet of things and social networks converge, each building, every car, every scenic area, every mall, every electrical appliance will open an account on QQ or on the Internet, automatically publish its own real-time information, and interact with other "people" and "things".

As a result, the definition of social networks will no longer be just human social, but a larger social network of people, people and things, things and things. We can call it "big Social network"-big social Networking Services (Big SNS), This big social network is essentially a result of the growing brain nervous system in the Internet, and its development will be a significant inspiration for understanding the relationship between cloud computing, the Internet of things, social networks, and big data.

Finally, we would like to thank the experts in the field of complex systems and artificial intelligence, China Automation Association, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Academy of Automation complex system management and control state Key laboratory director Wang Fei, by his encouragement and invitation, we wrote a review article, more systematic elaboration of the Internet evolution direction, The latest research on the Internet and Brain Science, published in the 38th issue of 2014 in the journal Complexity and Intelligence. The topic "Internet, brain science and the future of mankind", content address http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_591a83bf0102v541.html

Overall, the relationship between the Internet and the brain in 2014 received greater attention in the field of science and technology, including Baidu's brain, flying brain and other systems began to run, 2015, our internet and brain science of cross-comparative research will continue, including industrial Internet, The relationship between industry 4.0 and the virtual brain of the Internet, the Internet's brain IQ and machine intelligence and human intelligence, big social networks, large SNS and Internet of things, cloud computing, social networking, using social networks to understand the operation mechanism of the brain neural network, to explore more internet and the brain frame of reference and so on.

I hope to have further research conclusions. This conclusion will be written in the review of next year.
