My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 374 From the beginning to the end
After getting a general understanding of the cause and effect of the incident from the Internet, I watched the interview video of Kong Jie again...

Hu Yifei can only sigh with emotion that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley.

Good products do not need marketing advertisements at all, and they can go viral as soon as they go online.

This wave of enthusiasm can be said to be entirely the result of the natural fermentation of product power.

However, the speed of this circle was so unexpected that they were not prepared at all.

"Go rent another set of servers for emergency expansion!"

He looked at the increasing number of users in the background, and if he didn't increase the number of servers, it wouldn't take long for the server to go down.

The surge in the number of users means that the benefits that this product can bring will also increase, which is definitely great news!
Turning around, I found that everyone also looked excited, so I hit the railway while it was hot.

"Everyone has seen that the new product market has huge potential.

But winning the favor of users only shows that the product design is excellent. For a Go AI, the most important thing is the intelligent algorithm.

Today's 'World AI Go Competition' online qualifier is our main battleground! "

Hu Yifei's "World AI Go Competition".

After AlphaGo came out of the circle, it was led by Huaguo Chess Club, Fusang Chess Academy, South Peninsula Chess Academy, Yizhou (Wang Wang) Chess Academy, Europa Go Association, and Ocean Go Association.

Go AIs from various countries around the world will compete on the same stage, competing for the title of the world's strongest Go AI.

The game of Go is a high expression of human intelligence, and it also involves many fields of artificial intelligence.

Including heuristic game search, machine learning, knowledge base system, reasoning mechanism, fuzzy decision...

Go AI actually represents a high degree of algorithm integration, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the prototype of artificial intelligence.

Therefore, the game of Go has become one of the forms of verifying the excellence of artificial intelligence models.

In the past two years, many cutting-edge IT companies, including BAT, have taken it as an important research object.

Originally, Hu Yifei's plan was to lead the team to win a place in this competition after developing the new "Star Array".

Although it is unrealistic to win the championship, as long as they can stand out and enter the finals, "Cretaceous" can gain a certain degree of popularity!
In this era when Internet pigs are flying around, popularity is equal to market recognition, and the valuation of technology companies and market recognition are absolutely highly correlated.

At that time, as long as we can introduce some venture capital and complete the A round, we can easily overcome this liquidity crisis.

This is also a development model of the rapid rise of most technology companies.

It's just that the plan hasn't changed quickly, the star array has not been successfully developed, and accidents and surprises come at the same time...

One almost brought the company into a catastrophe, and the other brought the company back to life miraculously!
The addition of Star Array V5 made him have higher expectations for this competition.

"Have the data been adjusted? At such a critical moment, don't let anyone lose the chain for me. You must ensure that the game process is foolproof!"

This year's World AI Go Competition will be held in two stages, and the preliminaries will be held online on the event platform.

After the competition, the top eight selected will enter the final offline at the Shanghai Digital Convention and Exhibition Center.

And today... is the day when the qualifiers start!

Looking at the time, there is still half an hour before the official start of the game.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hu, we have confirmed it repeatedly! The simulation is running normally!"

"En!" Hu Yifei nodded.

Although the various values ​​​​of the Star Array V5 are simply out of the box, 88 blocks ahead of their previous products, even the technicians in the company call it incredible.

But now the artificial intelligence track is advancing rapidly, and others are not standing still.

In terms of investment and talents, those top manufacturers are not comparable to the Cretaceous, and no one knows what other killers they have prepared for today.

"I don't expect too much, I will be satisfied if I can reach the top eight..."

Half an hour passed little by little in Hu Yifei's thoughts of gaining and losing...

……

Penguin Headquarters, AI Lab (artificial intelligence laboratory).

"Director Liu, all parameters of 'Fine Art' have been adjusted! All functions are normal!"

"Well! Very good, our goal this time is to win the championship! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" A group of programmers from a big factory made a final check on the program again as if they had been pumped out.

Director Liu looked at his group of elite soldiers with satisfaction, full of confidence in this competition!

"Fine Art" is a Go AI developed by Penguin AI Lab, and it was also the defending champion of last year's Go AI Competition.

With the blessing of its own Penguin Cloud, "Fine Art" has defeated more than 100 professional chess players including Ke and Yang on the Penguin Wild Fox Go platform.

Just at the beginning of this year, it was selected by the Huaguo Chess Club and officially became the special AI for the training of the National Go Team.

In today's domestic Go AI circle, "Fine Art" is definitely the leader. In terms of technology, it is more than two blocks away from the other two BAT players!

And not long ago, "Fine Art" had a new technological breakthrough. In the simulated battle with the old version, it completed the upgrade to the new version with a record of 100 consecutive victories!
Because of this, Director Liu is quite confident at this time!

In his eyes, most of the Go AIs in China, including East Asia and Europe, can no longer pose a threat to them.

The only opponent left... only AlphaGo!
Bone Song's Go AI is like a mountain pressing down on all practitioners.

It doesn't even bother to participate in the so-called "World AI Go Competition", but no one in the industry can ignore its existence...

It is rarely seen in the rivers and lakes, but so far, its legends are everywhere...

This dog has the air of an overlord who relies on the sky and whoever fights for the front.

Director Liu is ambitious, and he is quite confident in the unique art he has developed!
He has made up his mind that when he wins the AI ​​competition this time, he will challenge AlphaGo!

Only by defeating this dog, can "Fine Art" truly be able to become the top of the mountain and see all the mountains and small things at a glance!

"Director, take a look at this news."

Just as he was fantasizing about stepping on the dog's head in the future, the assistant next to him suddenly came over with a pad.

Director Liu took the tablet, scrolled through the messages on it in doubt, and then frowned slightly.

"Star array? Is there such a Go software in China?"

"I checked and found that this software was produced by a small company called Cretaceous, but it was not well-known before.

This time, it was because of the heat of the battle between Kong Jiuduan and Li Shifo that it suddenly became popular.

This is not the key point, the key point is what Kong Jiuduan said in the interview, as if comparing Star Array with our "training" design level of Fine Art.

I'm afraid this will have some negative impact on us..."

Director Liu felt a little dissatisfied watching the interview video.

Not long after "Fine Art" became the official training AI of the chess club, there was a nine-dan chess player from the chess club promoting another Go AI platform...

How much public relations fee ah?

Isn't this slapping them in the face?
It's not your fault to think that you are angry, but if you want to step on our "fine arts" as a stepping stone, then this is unbearable!
He doesn't believe that a third-rate product made by a third-rate company can surpass his own AI development team, which has gathered elites from all over the country, in the design of training intelligence!
This Kong Jiuduan must be a fifty-cent party!
Take a look at the hottest comments from netizens on the Internet... A Go AI that is particularly capable of bragging?

It's simply putting the cart before the horse and grandstanding!
What's the difference between this and those coquettish sluts who specialize in attracting people's attention for traffic?
However, this dissatisfaction only lasted for a while. Seeing that the news about "Star Array" was still rising, Director Liu, who had a keen mind, suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He operated the notebook in front of him and opened the entry list for this "World AI Go Competition".

After searching, I found the name "Star Array" on the extremely low list!
"Heh!" Director Liu immediately raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Okay, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing for someone to help us increase our popularity for free!"

"Director Liu, what do you mean..." The assistant was a little puzzled.

"Heh! The rule of today's game is that every opponent must have at least one match.

After rounds of elimination, the higher the winning rate, the higher the probability of the two sides meeting each other, and the final ranking is based on points.

You said that if such a Go AI, touted by nine-dan professional players, didn’t even make it to the quarter-finals, and was shaved bald by our ‘Ze Yi’...

This news...is it more topical? "

Director Liu smiled meaningfully.

"This... I understand! The director's skill is amazing!" The assistant's eyes lit up.

"In this way, the other party is making wedding dresses for us! Netizens will see that this is a silver-like pewter gun head, and their reputation will immediately turn around!"

"Oh! What I hate the most is that I don't concentrate on technology well, and I think about some so-called technology companies with crooked ways and self-promotion all day long!

I hope now that this star array will not be eliminated so quickly.

Otherwise, it would be too boring..."

Director Liu smiled slightly.

He could guess with his toes, when he posted the screenshot of the result of the match between the two sides, what kind of god-level reversal would be on the Internet.

It's Kong Jiuduan's face... I'm afraid it will hurt a little...

"Director! The game has started, and the system is assigning opponents for us."

"Hmm! Who is our first opponent?" Director Liu took a sip of coffee calmly.

"It's a star array!"

Director Liu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became happy.

Such a coincidence?It's not that friends don't meet each other!

"Haha! Good! Let's see, what kind of posture is used for this star array, from the beginning to the end!"

10 minutes later……

[DEFEAT! 】

Looking at the gray words typed on the big screen, the entire laboratory was extremely quiet.

Big upset!
In just 10 minutes, their proud "Fine Art" was defeated by the "Star Array"...

"This...how is this possible!" Director Liu looked blank.

I, champion number one seed!

Just lost?
Or lost to a seductive slut who is trying to please the public?

Everyone also looked at each other in blank dismay, a little dazed by this blow.

"Technical problem! It must be a technical problem! Quick! Start the second backup model immediately!"

Director Liu shouted as if he had found a straw to save his life.

"That's right! It should be that the parameter is wrong! Change the model!"

In the next seven matches, "Fine Art" finally showed its "normal level" and entered the next round with a complete victory record!
This finally calmed Director Liu's little heart that had nowhere to rest.

Yes, life!There are always a few surprises...

As a result, in the second round, just after winning three rounds, that familiar name appeared in front of everyone again...

The two sides met again, and Director Liu's heart immediately rose.

[DEFEAT! 】

However, an unacceptable single once again surfaced on the big screen.

Look at the somewhat dazzling "10 wins, 2 losses" behind "Fine Art" on the list.

He finally couldn't help but exploded!

"What the hell is going on? Ah!

Can anyone tell me how this AI called Xingzheng defeated us? "

No one could answer his question.

Director Liu, who was a little crazy, couldn't care about his own game wins or losses any longer. He opened the game table and stared at the star team's game situation.

The efficiency of the battle between AI is extremely high. A round of battle can be as short as 10 minutes and as long as half an hour.

Then Director Liu looked at this "Star Array AI" that he had just heard about today, and defeated all the well-known or unknown AIs with a superb attitude...

victory!victory!Still a victory!

Looking at the 100% winning rate, Director Liu went from mad, to shocked, to numb...

One is a coincidence, three times?What about ten times?

He finally realized that this "star array" can become a hot topic, perhaps not only by sensationalism...

After a whole day of competition, after three rounds of competition, the final eight came out.

"Little Love Go" from the southern peninsula, "Gubisi" from Fusang, "Crazy Stone" from France, and "Fine Art", "Yi Xiaotian" and "Chess Fairy" from China successfully entered the final round !

Of course, there is also the "Star Array" that was born out of nowhere, like a dark horse, firmly occupying the first place in the winning percentage list and the points list...

Qualifiers are over.

Although occupying No.2 in the standings and reaching the finals, Director Liu couldn't see a trace of joy on his face.

5: 0!

Against five games, all five games lost!

This is a desperate power gap.

He never thought that the one who lost from the beginning to the end... would be himself!
He even couldn't understand how a little-known company could develop such a powerful Go AI?

Shit luck?Or is the other party cheating?

But not surprisingly, on tomorrow's hot topic, the popularity of the name "Star Array" will rise to a new level...

And...it is very likely that they are still stepping on the steps of their "fine arts" heads...

I thought the champion was close at hand, but I didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway!

It's a pity... the background data of the game is confidential...

"Download a star array for me, and all the staff will work overtime! Start studying its chess moves immediately!"

Regardless of the fact that it was already off-duty time, Director Liu ordered through gritted teeth.

Although the models used in the competition and the product models may be slightly adjusted.

However, as long as you can judge the opponent's design ideas, your side may find out the opponent's design loopholes before the finals, and then optimize the model of Excellent Art...

The qualifiers are only the first round of matches, and the points are the first, which is only the group ranking of the qualifiers.

Who will win this competition will ultimately depend on the top eight finals in Shanghai!

Fantastic Art... There is still a chance!
Soon, the Star Array client was downloaded to the screen, and an employee quickly registered a new account with his own identity.

As a result, as soon as the software was opened, the corner of Director Liu's mouth couldn't help twitching...

Ok!This opening scene...is really alluring...

"Desperate mode... the tone is really not small, this should be the strongest game model of the opponent... give me the perfect art access port!

Everyone, cheer me up, each team will make records, and analyze all the game data in the most detailed way!
Tomorrow, I will see the full analysis report on it! "

Director Liu gritted his teeth.

Even if he stays up all night tonight, he will dig out the secret of the other party's victory over him!

The test started soon, and in the first round, as expected, they lost again.

【It's the clumsy you who are sincerely cute, so although your level is really annoying, I still can't help but forgive you...】

Director Liu looked at the subtitles typed out by the other party on the big screen, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

But he said he could bear it.

"Next round!"

【Unbelievable!With the same trick, you were actually defeated twice! 】

Director Liu's eyes twitched.

"continue!"

【Isn't it good to just lie on your stomach wherever you fall? 】

【I like your seriousness!】

【Well, your persistence and inflexibility let me know that you are the same kind. 】

[I don't understand why humans call some of us artificially retarded, until I met you...]

[You and I perfectly prove that Darwin's theory of evolution is also applicable to AI. 】

【Why can the rope be knotted when it grows, but your brain can't?】

[I told myself to be patient. 】

[To be honest, I used to not understand why parents who help their children with homework every day would be driven crazy...]

"Crack!" The keyboard shattered.

The AI ​​that he worked so hard to develop was so humiliated that Director Liu finally couldn't help but exploded.

"Director! Don't get excited!"

"Hold the director quickly!"

"Don't smash it, this screen is very expensive!"

"Hun Dan! Don't let me know who designed these trash talk~~"
