Chapter 361 Major Achievements in the Field of Quantum Computing
After finishing three games of chess, Nie Jie was already very tired.
"Professor Xu, Teacher Nie Jie, it's getting late, let's go have a meal first." Liu Jiao said.
"Okay, let's eat and talk."
We arrived at the private room prepared by Liu Jiao in the restaurant of HUST, and the food was served quickly.
As the two protagonists and old friends of today, Xu You and Nie Jie naturally sat together.
"To be honest, today's three games of chess have left me with a shadow of you. Now when I see you, I think of that terrifying artificial intelligence."
"There's no need to be like that. It's not really my move. I'm just a puppet." Xu You said with a smile.
Of course, this terrifying artificial intelligence that cast a shadow on Nie Jie was created by Xu You.
In this regard, Xu You said that it was impossible for him to have no sense of accomplishment or satisfaction.
"Okay, this is of course a joke. But to be honest, this tragic defeat has made me temporarily lose interest in Go. Fortunately, this was not broadcast live on the Internet, otherwise I would not know where to put my face."
"It's okay. If you want, I can release the whole thing as news."
Hearing Xu You's words, Nie Jie quickly waved his hands vigorously.
"Forget it, Professor Xu, please behave like a human being."
After some joking, Xu You told Nie Jie about his general ideas when he was creating HaidaoGo.
Xu You's description was very simple and even though Nie Jie didn't know programming, he could fully understand what Xu You said.
After listening to Xu You, Nie Jie also gave him some suggestions on layout, robbery and other issues based on his own Go experience.
Xu You also attaches great importance to these suggestions, which may prevent HaidaoGo from having some possible bugs.
"Oh, I have another suggestion."
At this time, Nie Jie suddenly put down his chopsticks and said.
"Teacher Nie Jie, please speak."
"Can we set it up so that if the AI plays black first, it will place the first move at the star position in the upper right corner, or at the small eye to the right of the star position in the upper right corner?"
Xu You was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Why must it be placed in the upper right corner?"
Because the Go board is both axially symmetrical and centrally symmetrical.
In theory, no matter which corner you place the bet on, it will have no effect on the outcome.
"This doesn't affect the outcome, it's just a matter of etiquette ."
Next, Nie Jie explained to Xu You the origin of this problem.
After listening to this, Xu You also suddenly realized.
"I understand. I'll modify the code when I get back. This issue is indeed very important. If HaidaoGo wants to compete with other players or Go artificial intelligence, it still needs to pay attention to etiquette issues."
"Want to play against other Go AIs... Then can you help me beat up AlphaGo?"
"As long as they are willing, why not?" Xu You said with a smile.
However, after playing against human players, AlphaGo's Go team announced that AlphaGo would no longer participate in Go competitions.
If they want to hold such a competition, they must get the consent of their team.
As the meal was coming to an end, Nie Jie made a request.
"Professor Xu, you said that the Island AI improves its chess skills by playing against itself. Can I have some chess records of the Island AI playing against itself? Also, will we have the opportunity to use the Island AI to help us with training in the future?"
Obtaining the game records of such a powerful Go artificial intelligence can be of great guiding significance to Go players.
And if it can be used to assist in training, it will be of great help to improve chess players' chess skills.
“There is definitely no problem with the chess records, but as for using the island’s artificial intelligence for training, I can’t decide the whole thing by myself.
I created the Island AI, but it requires the Island quantum computer to be used. I need to ask Academician Han about this, as he is responsible for the quantum computer. "
"Okay, I'll trouble you to remember it then."
After seeing Nie Jie off, Xu You first went back to select some game records of the island artificial intelligence and sent them to Nie Jie.
In recent days, Haidao AI has completed hundreds of millions of games against itself, which has enabled its chess skills to improve by leaps and bounds.
Xu You selected the most recent one hundred games because the more recent the games, the higher the quality of the games.
I believe these games will be enough for Nie Jie to study for a while.
In the following period, Xu You continued to optimize the island artificial intelligence based on the feedback from the project team and several suggestions from Nie Jie.
Even though the Island AI did not have any bugs in these games, it does not mean that it does not have hidden bugs.
AlphaGo once had a serious bug during its match against a South Korean chess player, which led to its defeat.
These possible bugs should be avoided as much as possible.
In addition to these, Xu You did not forget Nie Jie’s last reminder.
Even if it is artificial intelligence, it is better to pay attention to the etiquette of Go.
Xu You does not want this artificial intelligence to be just a machine without emotions.
After completing the upgrade of the island's artificial intelligence, Xu You found Han Shubin and explained some of the achievements of the past few days.
"To be able to defeat Nie Jie even when Nie Jie had four sons... this artificial intelligence is really amazing."
Han Shubin has some knowledge about Go and knows what it is.
After all, this relies on a quantum computer with super computing power. As long as the programming problem is solved, the computing speed will be terrifying.
"Nie Jie specifically emphasized that the fact that he was defeated by the island's artificial intelligence should not be disclosed to the outside world. He felt that this would damage his image as a world champion." Xu You said with a smile.
Han Shubin smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. This is not a critical matter. We can prepare to publish the results of the island's artificial intelligence. This is a very significant progress for us."
"Okay, then I will prepare to publish this result in the core journal of Jida University."
This will be another major achievement in the field of quantum computing since the release of the Island Quantum Computer.
In order to protect some core secrets, Xu You knew that he could not include too much key information in the paper.
This is also one of the benefits of publishing papers in Jida’s core journals.
"Academician Han, Nie Jie has a request. If there is a chance, he would like to use the island's artificial intelligence to assist in Go training. Is this convenient?"
Xu You knew that the operating cost of the island quantum computer was very high and it could not be used casually.
