Lu Ming, "Imagine that you have a gun in your hand now, and there is a target opposite you, and you need to hit it."

He glanced down and said, "Okay, everyone can understand this scene. Let's simplify it and imagine that you are a game character, you can move up and down, left and right in the plane parallel to the target."

"So, you can think of the weight w here as you move the plane xy coordinates to determine the target to be able to be directly connected. The offset value is to consider the air resistance, and then you make corresponding micro-adjustment."

Lu Ming listed a series of parameters on the whiteboard, "What about the final loss loss? It's simple, everyone can understand. The more you get from the bull's eye, the lower the loss, the more successful it is.

So in fact, when looking at it in detail, it becomes a shooting game. You keep feeding data to the machine and letting it learn how to hit the bull's eye. Once it learns, it can probably achieve the same level if it changes another target.

Of course, to put it more specifically, the data is very complicated and the situation is changing. We will not discuss it in detail here.”

Lu Zhou was also in the audience, just like studying, after all, what Lu Ming said was also interesting.

Lu Ming, "Actually, it will be interesting to see this shooting scene in reverse. If it is a person who learns what the process is like? First, the brain conveys signals, and then the muscles of the fingers react. After shooting, we can identify whether the shot hits through our eyes.

As for the machine, it does not have these things, so we give it an input and output function, input it to the machine, and it will react, and then it will identify whether it hits based on the loss.

What should I do if I can't hit it, then I'll learn it until I know it. In fact, this is what we often call artificial intelligence. In fact, it uses mathematics to simulate our biological characteristics. Although in actual applications, it is more related to statistics."

......

After determining some of the following WeChat system research topics with Lu Ming, Lu Zhou drove back to the company.

Before leaving, Lu Zhou suddenly had a thought in Lu Ming's explanation.

Lu Zhou asked Lu Ming, "Senior Brother, remember the shooting scene you mentioned just now."

Lu Ming nodded, "Well. What's the problem?"

Lu Zhou, "The problem is that there is no. I was just thinking, wasn't the whole process a simplification and metaphor?"

"Yes, it's a metaphor."

Lu Zhou, "So, how do you think of the complicated situation?"

Lu Ming looked curious when he heard this, "Hmm?"

Lu Zhou said, "We generally say whether explicit programming is needed."

Lu Ming nodded, "Yes."

Lu Zhou rubbed his chin, "Then if I install a machine with a moving arm, and then install a camera and sensor. Then, will this shooting learning process really be true?

Well. I mean a programming definition, and in the end the machine really learned the shooting action."

Lu Ming, "...this seems a bit too little, it's really an example."

Lu Zhou shook his head, obviously Lu Ming didn't understand what he meant.

"Then, I'm doing the body of this machine that is complex enough. I don't explicitly program to define its actions, but just define the parameters of the sensor in an implicit neural network.

As long as the machine has a good body structure, is it possible to have real learning, such as toddlers from scratch, learn to run and jump, or even shoot badminton."

Lu Ming understood Lu Zhou's words, "In theory, it is indeed feasible to promote n training, but the hit rate is a problem at the moment. If you choose to believe in hinton."

Lu Zhou ignored Lu Ming, but continued, "No, senior brother, I'm talking about a real person."

"You may still find it difficult to understand the body alone. What if you increase the auditory sensing and then give it a horn?"

Lu Ming was so happy that he smiled, "So you want it to learn the language? This is also a good topic, although it is difficult."

Lu Zhou still shook his head, "No, no. Think about it, the whole process from a baby learning to walk and speak, and then to adults forming a worldview! I mean creating a machine to go through this process and minimize the intervention of explicit programming."

Lu Ming suddenly realized, "It's very interesting. Maybe this will really become a new human."

Lu Zhou stretched out his hand to wait, and he fell into deep thought.

"It's still the scene just now. Suppose I've created two machines like these. They have all the body structures similar to humans, can make sounds and receive five senses.

But we only define implicit neural networks to them. And at first they won't have any information about the world."

Lu Zhou pondered the language, "OK. Now one of them turned on, touched the whole world, felt light, temperature and even air.

At this moment, my phone rang and made a 'ling' sound. Very well, it received the note and the image recognized the phone.

The second machine starts to start like the one just now, yes, it is like a baby knows the world. But at this time, if the first machine uses a sounding device to make a 'ling' sound, then it raises its hand and points to the phone.

Once, twice... the second machine finally 'understood' the meaning, and lingered it and pointed at the phone."

When Lu Ming heard this, his mind suddenly exploded. He thought of a scene: in an ordinary family, his mother held a baby, said "Dad" and pointed at a man.

"You want to say that in the end, these two machines can understand the entire world through communication, and even produce their own language, or even generate consciousness? Or do you want to express that real artificial intelligence needs a body similar to humans to achieve the real so-called thoughts about the world?"

Lu Zhou smiled, "I think, according to this idea, we should turn them into a group, gather together like humans, so that their historical process should be completely overturned. Yes, advance their history through their own understanding."

When Lu Ming heard this, he became more and more terrified. Yes, everything Lu Zhou said could find a lot of relevant theoretical support, and the only problem was more optimized theories and difficulties in realizing them.

Lu Ming smiled and shook his head, "Although this is an interesting topic, I think it will take a little longer. Maybe it will be decades or hundreds of years."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I am happy to accompany you."

Lu Ming patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder, "Let's do this first. Imagine the future and focus on the front."

Lu Zhou, "Okay. Then I'll go back first. I'll sort out this idea later. Let's use it as an amateur topic."

Lu Ming, “Okay.”

Lu Zhou walked out of the experimental building, and his mind was also thinking about the problem.

What exactly is language? And what should consciousness be?
