Deep Learning + Al: How machines are becoming master problem solvers

摘要

Fourteen years later, Al made its television debut in grand style, when IBM's Watson took down a pair of former "Jeopardy!" winners in a televised match. In milliseconds, the machine culled the most probable answer to each question from more than 200 million pages of content, including the complete Wikipedia catalog. (Watson was not connected to the Internet during the match.) Now, Google's Al system, AlphaGo, is making cognitive computing history. Last month, the system outdueled Go Grandmaster Lee Sedol in a five-game match (4-1). Go is an East Asian "chess on steroids" strategy game that uses a larger board and many more pieces than chess, creating a scenario with more possible board positions (10~(170) positions) than atoms in the known universe (10~(80)), according to Google.
