I Found A Planet

Song Bojun has been under a lot of pressure recently.

Especially in the past month as the technical director of "Intelligent Learning Machine" of Xinghai Technology Co., Ltd., he felt that the pressure on his shoulders was increasing.

He is a well-known AI expert in China. He once served as the leader of the "Intelligent Speech Recognition" project team in Baidu, and assisted in the development of the most intelligent "Xiaodu" robot in China. In the field of intelligent speech recognition, he is confident that he is the leader of the world One of the best players in the world.

Last month, he left Baidu and joined Xinghai Technology. One of the reasons is that there are countless AI experts in Baidu. He is 36 years old, and he is only in the position of a middle-level technician. ability is not fully utilized.

The second reason is that Gao Tingyan, the HR manager of Xinghai Technology, agreed to give him an annual salary of 8 million after consulting the boss.

Of course, Song Bojun would not admit that he joined Xinghai Technology for money, and he wanted to realize his higher life value.

But after taking over the "Smart Learning Machine" project, he immediately realized that his annual salary of nearly 10 million was a bit hot to hold.

Some are stuck on a tiger.

Because this project is much more difficult than he imagined.

There are at least three major technical difficulties in front of him.

First, intelligent voice recognition.

It is required to quickly and accurately analyze the meaning of the user's words, and the error rate is required to be less than one in ten thousand.

This is the area where Song Bojun is best at. The speech recognition program made by the project team he led can currently control the error rate to less than one in a thousand. It is a bit difficult to do one in ten thousand, but it is not impossible to do it if you work hard. .

Second, intelligent learning program.

What this program has to do is to learn autonomously like humans, from 1+1 in elementary school to calculus in college, from the simple three laws of mechanics to complex quantum physics, and learn all the knowledge master.

To talk about a similar technology, it is AlphaGo developed by DeepMind, but this intelligent program is only used in the field of Go. It uses deep learning, neural network, Monte Carlo tree search and other technologies to perform crazy self-play, Self-training, in just a few days, you can become a god-level master in the field of Go.

After AlphaGo was launched, it defeated the world Go champion Lee Sedol with a score of 4:1, and Ke Jie, a Go genius in country Z, with a score of 3:0. In the face of human chess players, AlphaGo was invincible. to the possibility of human victory.

Now the intelligent learning program that Xinghai Company is going to make can be like AlphaGo, in the field of learning, crazy independent learning, mastering that massive amount of knowledge.

It eventually grows into a super program that "knows everything and knows everything".

After seeing such a demand.

Song Bojun was dumbfounded.

"This is simply... whimsical."

"Go is Go, it's just a single piece of knowledge, but the intelligent learning program Mr. Chen is going to do needs to include all the 'knowledge', which is equivalent to omnipotence, and the difficulty of implementation has increased by several levels. How can it be possible? ?”

But Chen Jin didn't realize that this couldn't be done. If AlphaGo's learning ability is 1, then he is 2. With 1, it is not difficult to realize 2. With 2, it is not difficult to realize infinity. This is what Taoism says As the saying goes, "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things." With "one", everything is easy to handle.

Song Bojun smiled helplessly: "AlphaGo is the most advanced intelligent learning program abroad. Although there are teams in China that have made similar products, there is a certain gap from the most advanced level. As for Xinghai Technology, the foundation is completely zero. To achieve 'Three Lives and All Things', it is better to acquire an artificial intelligence team first, and study it carefully."

Chen Jin accepted his suggestion and asked someone to take the money and spend 20 million to fully acquire an artificial intelligence studio called "Jue Ding".

However, he did not cancel the requirement to realize the intelligent learning program. This program is the core competitiveness of "Intelligent Learning Machine" and must be realized.

Third, intelligent video generation technology.

This is related to the intelligent learning program. When the user of the learning machine raises his questions, the video intelligent generation program will package and integrate relevant text, pictures, and video materials to automatically generate explanations for any questions that can be answered. Video, automatic dubbing... Synthesize a video.

However, Song Bojun feels that the difficulty of this technology is actually lower than that of the second item, because as far as he knows, Alibaba has developed a picture generation technology to deal with the huge pictures generated during the Double 11 Shopping Festival. demand, hundreds of thousands of pictures can be generated within 1 second, saving the workload of countless artists.

Video production is much more complicated than picture production, but the video itself is composed of a large number of pictures, plus a robot dubbing, the difficulty is not particularly difficult.

As long as he is given enough time, he can lead people to realize this technology.

Intelligent speech recognition is also difficult for him.

Only the second "intelligent learning program" was really difficult for him, and he had no idea where to start.

He even realized his own limitations, and retreated in his heart.

"It seems that I... am not a big deal, and so is Mr. Chen. I have a good idea, but I am a technically illiterate person who doesn't understand technology at all, which makes my head very big now."

"Why don't you just resign after working for a month and ask Mr. Chen to hire Gao Ming. I really can't handle this project. There are not many people in China who can handle it. I'd better not occupy this position and delay the progress of the project."

In Song Bojun's heart, the idea of ​​resigning came into being.

this afternoon.

When Song Bojun was absent-minded and his thoughts were wandering, Mr. Chen called him over, took out a golden USB flash drive from his pocket, and placed it in front of him.

"Mr. Chen, what is this?" Song Bojun asked puzzled.

"The technical information of the intelligent learning program." Chen Jin said.

"Is this... true or false?"

Song Bojun was a little disbelieving: "I got it from there, is it useful? Is it easy to use? How did you get it?"

"Of course it is useful. I spent a lot of money to buy it! Also, this USB flash drive is encrypted. I will tell you the password later. After the data inside is copied, the USB flash drive will be automatically destroyed, and the copied data can only It can be copied once, and then read-only locked...you have to make reasonable use of this information."

Chen Jin said that these technical materials are 16GB in size, and they were compiled by the artificial intelligence Nuwa using her powerful computing power within five minutes. The use of context can be easily learned and mastered by people.

"Bought with money? Such a powerful technology, can you buy it with money?"

"Don't ask too much, technical problems can't be solved, why do I ask you to do the "Intelligent Learning Machine" project? It's normal to encounter difficulties, but don't shrink back, I will help solve them, and I won't throw all the pressure on you."

"Well, you are right Mr. Chen."

Song Bojun took over the USB flash drive and felt a little ashamed. His ability to bear it was still too bad. He hadn't started to make it yet, so why did he think it was not good? Although Mr. Chen is young, his realm is much higher than his own.

And when he copied the data in the USB flash drive to the computer, he briefly read dozens of pages of technical documents.

There was an unbelievable light in his eyes.

What appeared on his face was an almost frenzied and crazy surprise.

Doable, totally doable!

...

go home.

I plan to go back to my room and rest for a while.

"Son, I have something to discuss with you."

Dad Chen Gang came over with a mysterious face, and pulled him aside furtively.
