Chapter 391 Decisive Battle Until Dawn

394 chapter

Cheng Nuo looked at the matchup table for tomorrow's game.His opponent in the first round was really the robot Alpha Zero.

And this competition is a knockout round.In other words, as long as you lose a round, you have to leave immediately.

Cheng Nuo is in pain!

He was just forced to participate in a Go competition. He didn't want to win the championship, as long as he got a decent ranking.

But what happened?In the first round, he met Alpha Zero, an extremely perverted player.

That's the guy who crushed Alpha Dog!AlphaGo once defeated the world's number one Go player.

No matter how confident Cheng Nuo was, he wasn't arrogant enough to crush the world's experts.

Well, this time I originally planned to take three days to participate in this Go game.But now it seems that one day is enough.

A round trip was probably Cheng Nuo's destined fate.

He turned his head and met Jiang Li's eyes silently.Cheng Nuo smiled bitterly.

Jiang Li stood up and patted Cheng Nuo's shoulder heavily, "Tomorrow, do your best!"

After a few seconds of silence, Cheng Nuo said slowly, "I can't guarantee I will win against Alpha Zero, but I won't lose too badly! As for your plan, you can only wait for the next time."

"It's okay." Jiang Li didn't have much sad expression on his face, "I've been here for so many years, I don't care about this one or two months."

"Tomorrow, come on!"

"must!"

…………

Cheng Nuo didn't need much preparation before the game.

Cheng Nuo didn't have much experience in Go games, and it paled in comparison to the millions of game data stored in Alpha Zero.

In terms of calculation speed, Cheng Nuo couldn't tell whether he was stronger or weaker than Alpha Zero.

In addition to the lack of independent thinking ability, the advantage of machines over humans in the game of Go is simply not too high.

Moreover, any robot has not been made by humans.

Therefore, it is completely meaningless to compare the winning and losing of Go with robots.

But this was arranged by the organizing committee of the competition, what else could Cheng Nuo do, he could only go up and do it.

Don't be shy, just do it!
So what about robots, who said robots can't do it? !
Cheng Nuo, who adhered to such a creed, asked Professor Fresnel for an afternoon off after being busy in the office the next day, and rushed to the competition site.

The competition venue is the largest Go hall in Cambridge, and the game between Cheng Nuo and Alpha Zero is scheduled for the first game in the afternoon.

As the first battle of AlphaGo's new generation product - Alpha Zero, there are naturally not a few professional Go players and media reporters who come to watch the game.

And as Alpha Zero's opponent in the first battle, an unknown amateur Go player is just regarded as cannon fodder by everyone.

Perhaps in the report, one or two sentences will be mentioned about the tragedy of this amateur Go player being tortured by Alpha Zero.

The game starts at [-]:[-] pm.

Cheng Nuo arrived half an hour early. After some inspection, he took his player ID and was taken to a small cubicle surrounded by a bunch of cameras.

His opponent, the robot Comrade Alpha Zero, is being carefully debugged by several researchers from Deep Blue Company.

Cheng Nuo took a few glances at Alpha Zero and found that it was no different from his predecessor Alpha Dog, neither of which had any robot form.

Placed there, it is like an oversized mainframe plus a big head display.

Seeing that Alpha Zero was still adjusting the equipment, a reporter raised the microphone, pointed the camera at Cheng Nuo and asked, "Hello, Cheng Nuo, as Alpha Zero's first opponent, how do you feel?"

Cheng Nuo was silent for a few seconds, and then replied leisurely, "My heart is not fluctuating, and I even want to make instant noodles."

reporter:"???"

I didn't have time to eat lunch, I'm hungry!

Reporter: "Then how sure are you against Alpha Zero?"

Cheng Nuo said lightly, "Lu Benwei!"

Reporter: "Uh, sorry, I didn't understand what you meant."

Cheng Nuo: "Oh. It's [-]-[-]!"

Reporter: "Then you think you have a [-]% chance of defeating Alpha Zero?"

Cheng Nuo: "No. I mean, [-]% of me will be hung up by Alpha Zero and hammered, and the other [-]% will be hammered by Alpha Zero!"

reporter:"……"

The reporter stepped back knowingly.

Cheng Nuo looked at the busy scientific researchers, holding his chin in a daze.

Isn't it so troublesome just to debug a few values?Moreover, the program nested inside Alpha Zero is not too profound.

Although the core code of this type of learning Go robot is confidential to the outside world, in the eyes of insiders, it is just the optimized superposition of several self-learning programs.

"Game start!"

Finally, Alpha Zero was trained. Cheng Nuo was sitting on the chess table, and sitting opposite him was a developer of Alpha Zero. He would replace Alpha Zero and Cheng Nuo to play chess.

Cheng Nuo went first.

Without hesitation, Cheng Nuo was the first to occupy the center of the chessboard.

Alpha Zero followed closely behind, and the white piece fell to the left of Cheng Nuo's black stone.

pat~!pat~!

For the first dozen or so moves, Cheng Nuo made moves without haste.

Since Alpha Zero's calculation speed is faster than Cheng Nuo's, each move only takes one to two seconds.

After half an hour...

The war on the chessboard began to heat up.

Every time the move was made, not only Cheng Nuo but also Alpha Zero took longer.

Alpha Zero's algorithm does not calculate the best strategy by predicting the opponent's next moves, or the last few dozens of moves, but builds a value network through something called a "situation evaluator".

Supplemented by a move selector, after complex calculations, the move selection with the highest probability of winning can be obtained.

In other words, Alpha Zero thinks about how to win, not how the opponent plays!

Cheng Nuo's current situation was also extremely uncomfortable.

Under Alpha Zero's pressing step by step, the situation on the court was already very unfavorable for Cheng Nuo.

No matter whether he used the mini-huaguo style or the cosmic style, he was resolved by Alpha Zero with a sharp gesture.

An hour later, Cheng Nuo was completely at a disadvantage in the overall situation.

"It seems that I can only use that trick!"

Come out, Profound Truth-Double Four Tribulations Cycle!
Cheng Nuo muttered a word silently and made a sound.

There is not much possibility of winning, so the only way to turn this game into a draw is as much as possible.Then there are still fights.

After ten moves, Cheng Nuojin completed the double four kalpa cycle structure.

In the case of a cycle of four kalpas, Alpha Zero might be able to give way a little bit, but there will be two at once. Cheng Nuo is sure that with Alpha Zero's internal algorithm, he will definitely continue to entangle with Cheng Nuo this time.

"Draw!"

Seeing that Cheng Nuo and Alpha Ling had been entangled in these two cycles of four kalpas for more than an hour without any result, the referee decisively called a draw.

According to the rules of the game, since it is a knockout match, after the draw, there will be a rematch until the winner is determined.

Cheng Nuo VS Alpha Zero second game: draw!
Game Three: Draw!
The fourth game: draw!
Fifth round:

…………

The two called directly from five o'clock in the afternoon to ten o'clock in the evening.The outcome is still undecided.

The reporter who was recording by the side has changed from being surprised at the beginning to being extremely numb now.

They are all sluggish now, all they think about is when the game will end, they really want to go home and sleep!

Here, Cheng Nuo growled with red eyes, "Again! The decisive battle will last until dawn!"
