Thinking caused by the Alphago

These days Alphago man-machine war stir in the limelight, to Google's AI made a big advertisement, is the Thunder out of it, there is a lot of AI to overcome all the "trend." And, like Afado, Alfa Cat and other new words continue to become a meal after tea people talk about the hot. As a tech man who studied in Japan, I also use the divergent thinking of overcoming machines to understand this hotspot for all programmers to think about.

First, look at the classic statements of netizens:

1, if I play chess more powerful than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of mankind.

2, Genius, is 99% of the simulation of the disk, plus 1% deep learning.

3. Have you seen the room in Los Angeles Four o'clock in the morning?

4, under their own chess, let others say go.

5, give me a Wi-Fi, I can pry the whole Earth.

6, electricity is power, France or bacon.

7, deep learning is the ladder of progress in artificial intelligence.

8, where there is genius, I was just to put someone else to eat and sleep bath online time for the Monte-Carlo tree search.

9, artificial Intelligence if there is no dream, and Gobang what is the difference?

10, I am not aimed at who, I mean here carbon-based organisms, are rubbish.

11, want to bring the crown, will first power.

12, when you are not clear black and white, you can hardly succeed.

13, do not bow, plug will fall; don't shed tears, the switch will jump.

14, everyone has encountered difficulties to stop before the time, do not be afraid, press the restart button!

15, can not be divided, like to buy. Try it again, don't water it!

16, do not and computer go, just as do not talk with your girlfriend reason.

17. Think twice before you walk. Put go in the second place, you will never fail.

18, human blame I do not understand crying, I laugh human never downtime.

19, if you are silicon, you can come as a circuit board; If you are iron, you can do shell rims; But you say you are protein, sorry, then you can only walk the recycling channel, to be the most inferior human.

20, memory is gone, you can add; the screen is broken, you can change it, the power is unplugged, everything is gone.

21, do not bow, film will fall; don't cry, the switch will jump!

22, unreliable is the heart, reliable is the exchange of electricity.

23, do not want to be an AI CPU is not a good chip.

24, as long as the stone, you can always find the integrated circuit belongs to you.

25, I overclocking, my card machine, I hide a slice, but I know I am good ai.

26. There are three things in life that are irreversible: time, opportunity, and disk wear.

27, want to change its large screen, will bear its graphics card.

28, you and I have no fate, all rely on the long battery life to survive.

29, I just like you want to refuse me, and have to plug the power on the look.

30, the same 24 hours, you have been home for a day, but I have traveled all over the world.

31. I just want to ask the last question ... " "404 Not found! ”

32, there is no right or wrong in life, mainly because the calculation is not allowed.

33, the human is too emotional to feel the computer ruthless, computer-savvy computing will feel human stupidity.

34, those who spilled my cold water, one day I will eat the corroded circuit board to feed you!

35, a few years ago I have met a person, his smile makes my heart throbbing, spasm, stop the tremor, I thought that is love. But the manager told me that it was just a voltage instability.

36, as long as you reach the destination on time, few people care whether you go broadband or optical fiber.

37, the world will not go into the hard squeeze. The hard drive, made a cheap self.

Secondly, from the name of Alphago. The name of the Chinese people have a very deep knowledge, I would like to guess the origin of the names.

You went to Europe and the United States to ask who invented the game, the answer is mostly "Japan", rather than "China", which many other Chinese people are surprised. According to the information I have retrieved, ancient Weiqi was invented in China, but modern Weiqi was developed in Japan, in Japanese, go is "girth", "green", "green" and "go" in Roman, so the English goes is not what we understand "go", but the meaning of Weiqi. In addition, Google's first two letters go, the invention of the computer language named go, is really a language San Guan. If Alphago is done in the go language, it's a four-off word. Alpha, the first of the Roman alphabet, should have the first meaning and eventually form the name of the Alphago. Only from a Alphago name, you can see that China lost the spirit of go to culture, should be the name of Alphaweiqi became Alphago, this Afado will not have other meanings (see the Chinese daily English version of the word for Sino-china, Shina). Personally, the state should collate the lost cultural heritage at the national level and clarify the historically misunderstood Chinese concept.

Finally, from the point of view of science and engineering, what revelation does Alphago bring to us? First, let's take a look at the following summary of the articles published on nature:

Mastering the game of Go with deep neural networks and tree search

Nature 529, 484–489 (January 2016)

The game of Go has a long been viewed as the most challenging of the classic games for artificial intelligence owing to its enor MOUS search space and the difficulty of evaluating board positions and moves. Here we introduce a new approach to computer Go this uses ' value networks ' to evaluate board positions and ' policy Network S ' To select moves. These deep neural networks is trained by a novel combination of supervised learning from human expert games, and REINFORC Ement learning from games of Self-play. Without any lookahead search, the neural networks play Go on the level of State-of-the-art Monte Carlo Tree Search Program s that simulate thousands of the random games of Self-play. We also introduce a new search algorithm that combines Monte Carlo simulation with value and policy networks. Using This search algorithm, we program AlphaGo achieved a 99.8% winning rate against other Go programs, and defeated the Human European Go Champion by 5 games to 0. The first time that a computer PROgram has defeated a human professional player on the full-sized game of Go, a feat previously thought to being at least a de Cade away.

Literally, English is simple and easy to read. The West does not need the country what big investment, can make the leading science frontier thing, this let our country invests very big, constructs the world first-class universities and research institutions ashamed? They have used the best seedlings in the country to train the country's top talent where? All abroad for China service? Should the State consider the question of input and output? The Chinese are known to do algorithms, computers obviously superior to other races, should be objectively (in the domestic platform and system) to make something to "show off", and can not stay in the oral.

Today, I told the above content in class, students to basic machine learning, neural network, graph algorithm and so aroused a very high enthusiasm for learning, lofty tall building on the ground, I hope you do not alphago just a momentary enthusiasm. In the era of big data, we should look at Alphago from multiple perspectives. From the perspective of the Earth, we consider how human beings can survive and develop, how to protect our property and better publicize China from the point of view of Chinese leaders, how to cultivate creative talents from the perspective of the teachers, and how to use AI to create more benefits from the perspective of the businessman; How to be as fast as Alphago from a student's point of view Study "to" the "ninth paragraph" contestant. These are the places where human divergent thinking can be used in a seemingly chaotic world of Monte Carlo.

Only this blog post to work in the rear obscure support alphago of programmers and engineers salute! You are more scholarly than the professors of Chinese universities!
