Chapter 241 Artificial Intelligence

Ever since Gu Ningshan came back from Carnegie Mellon University, she fell in love with the subject of artificial intelligence like a man possessed. From time to time, she would talk to Wu Bin about issues such as neural network algorithms or situation evaluation functions.

However, because Wu Bin was very busy before, the two only discussed it briefly on WeChat and did not talk in detail.

As a very popular subject in contemporary times, artificial intelligence attracts many outstanding talents to research and develop it.

At present, among domestic universities, HKUST, Jingda University, Jinghua University and Harbin Institute of Technology are among the leaders in this field.

Among them, the only national engineering laboratory for artificial intelligence in the country is at HKUST, and the only key laboratory is at HKUST iFlytek.

With such advantages, HKUST is not only strong in the academic theory of artificial intelligence, but also in the forefront of scientific research results, applications, and industrial incubation.

Take Cambrian, the most powerful artificial intelligence chip in the country, for example. The four core R&D personnel known as the Four King Kongs are all graduates of the University of Science and Technology.

Next year, HKUST plans to set up a new artificial intelligence department in its undergraduate program. It can be said that it attaches great importance to this emerging field.

Riding his bicycle to the Mushroom Pavilion, Wu Bin found that Gu Ningshan was already sitting inside.

Seeing her thoughtful look, Wu Bin smiled evilly and walked up to Gu Ningshan and tapped her head gently with the book in his hand.

"What are you thinking about?"

After being knocked, Gu Ningshan immediately pouted, glanced at Wu Bin dissatisfied and said, "Why are you knocking me on the head?"

“Last month I read a document that said that when a person falls into a state of thinking, the 86 billion neurons in the brain will enter energy-saving mode. At this time, if they receive some small stimulation from the outside, they will go crazy. become active, in this case it is easy to inspire unprecedented inspiration.”

"Real or false?" Gu Ningshan asked dubiously.

"Of course it's fake. Do you believe it?" Wu Bin spread his hands.

Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Gu Ningshan shook her head and uttered two words.

"childish!"

"This is called a sense of humor." Wu Bin smiled and sat next to Gu Ningshan, "Tell me, what topic do you want to discuss with me?"

Gu Ningshan shook her head: "It's not a specific topic, but a personal idea of ​​mine."

"Yeah." Wu Bin nodded thoughtfully, "What do you think?"

"You should know that artificial intelligence has a strong learning ability. In the network with massive information, information and concepts are at different levels. Although most of the information is very simple, there is extremely high power behind these simple information. value."

At this point, Gu Ningshan took out a piece of paper, drew a few random strokes on it, then pointed at it and said: "If you want to deeply explore the value behind this information, you need to learn low-level information, and then use explanation and reasoning and other measures to gradually increase the level of access to information and concepts.”

Wu Bin nodded after listening, "Yes, artificial intelligence does play an irreplaceable role in interpreting and reasoning about information."

In recent years, there has been a very hot buzzword in the market, that is, "big data". In analyzing this "big data", the power of artificial intelligence has been fully demonstrated. This is why all major business giants are using artificial intelligence to analyze data. One of the reasons why smart phones cost so much.

Gu Ningshan: “When I went to Carnegie before, I was exposed to a brand new concept, that is, artificial intelligence also has the ability to deal with non-linear problems. Since AI is a highly similar imitation of human intelligence, then humans have the ability to solve Artificial intelligence can also learn the ability to solve nonlinear problems."

After listening, Wu Bin thought for a while and said, "Although I have never been exposed to this type of subject, I think this idea is very interesting."

Gu Ningshan seemed very happy to receive Wu Bin's affirmation. After shaking her legs, she continued to say seriously: "So I plan to minor in psychology. What do you think?"

"Psychology?" Wu Bin thought for a moment after listening, "Do you plan to take the field of strong intelligence as your development direction?"

Seeing Wu Bin's calm reaction, Gu Ningshan's expression clearly showed disappointment, "Do you actually know anything about this field? Most people should be surprised when they hear the combination of psychology and artificial intelligence, right?"

"Oh~" Wu Bin drawled, "So you called me here just to surprise me?"

After saying that, Wu Bin immediately opened his mouth and said with an exaggerated expression: "Wow! Can psychology be combined with artificial intelligence? It's amazing! Tell me, what kind of relationship is there between them? relation."

This time, Gu Ningshan couldn't hold it back and rolled her eyes fiercely: "You are too childish!"

"This is the reaction you want to see." Wu Bin shrugged innocently: "Then just treat it like I don't know anything. After all, I only have a superficial understanding of this field."

'Your fur is probably thicker than that of a polar bear...'

After all, having known Wu Bin for such a long time, Gu Ningshan knew very well what Wu Bin called "fluff". You must know that she has been trying to find Wu Bin's IQ blind spots in the past two years, but she has never succeeded.

Sighing, Gu Ningshan took out two thick English books from her schoolbag and said, "Actually, I have just stepped into this field and don't know much about it, but what is certain is that basic psychology has already entered into the study of human perception processes. Beyond the formal calculation stage, many mathematical models have been developed and precise deductive algorithms have been proposed for natural intelligence processes."

"Oh, for example, the field of visual perception?" Wu Bin asked.

Sighing helplessly, Gu Ningshan looked up at Wu Bin's forehead and sighed: "It's a miracle that you still have bangs."

"This," Wu Bin touched his bangs and said proudly, "I've been too busy recently, so I haven't had time to cut them. It seems to be a little longer."

As she lazily continued to complain about Wu Bin, Gu Ningshan asked, "This is what I'm discussing with you today. Do you think it's necessary for me to minor in psychology?"

"Just learn if you are interested." Wu Bin quickly gave the answer.

Gu Ningshan: "I'm not you. I'm interested in everything. At least psychology is not among the subjects I'm interested in."

"That's it..." Wu Bin touched his chin, "Then let me tell you my humble opinion."

"Take the field of visual perception as an example. If you are not studying the impact of high-level processes such as emotion and language on the perceptual process, but the structure of basic processes such as the analysis and integration of visual feature information by neurons, then you must learn Neural Computing.”

"Although the work goals of psychology researchers in this field are different from those in the field of artificial intelligence, there is a lot of overlap in knowledge reserves. If you are involved in both, you can definitely complement each other."

‘Haha…what a furry one. ’ Gu Ningshan sighed softly, held her chin and tilted her head to glance at Wu Bin.

PS: Back! I'm really busy at the end of the year, sorry.

PS2: Thank you very much to those who are willing to wait for the update. Without you, I might not be able to continue, but because of you, I will definitely insist on finishing the article, so don’t worry, I love you~
