Chapter 1070: The Fragments That Make Up the World
Distributed computing?
When he heard this unexpected term, Lu Zhou's eyebrows raised slightly.
Inspired by this concept, something suddenly occurred to him.
"Can you elaborate?"
"No problem......"
It's useless to hide this kind of thing, rather than leaving a hand in the clouds and fog through the clouds, it is better to clear it all out, maybe there is still the possibility of cooperation.
For Lu Zhou's direct request, Miel only hesitated, and quickly made a decision, and generously said the idea in his heart.
"In short, we output the same electrical signal through a neural modem, and when it is translated by the brain, it may be due to the individual's different understanding of the same message, coupled with the blurring of the information by the brain itself, to present a different picture...... It's like two sets of puzzle boards carved out of one mold, even if you give each piece a puzzle number and restore it in the same order, if the pattern on each piece is different, the final picture cannot be the same...... Am I right? ”
Lu Zhou nodded and said in a programmed voice.
"Basically correct."
"That's a very easy problem," a smug expression appeared on his face, and Professor Miel snapped his fingers and continued, "The brain is a black box for us, and we have little way of knowing how it obfuscates information, but it reacts to the outside world. We can build a statistical model of discrete data by statistically counting the input and feedback results. ”
"What is this called in physics? It seems to be called indirect observation? Forget it, that's not my major, and I don't know much about it. In short, with such a statistical model, we can continuously eliminate the differences between puzzles and establish a one-to-one correspondence between electrical signals and puzzles. ”
"In a stage play that is pieced together with vague concepts such as cows, sheep, knights and kings, the picture that everyone sees in their eyes will of course be different, but if we define the picture with the basic three primary colors, define the sound with the 44 basic tones, and then use these more trivial and small pieces to restore the whole scene......"
"I'm sure everyone resonates with the virtual world we've built, except for those who have misunderstood color or have never heard sound before."
After listening to Professor Miel's description, a look of obvious interest appeared in Lu Zhou's eyes.
However, he did not immediately give an affirmative answer, but after weighing the pros and cons, he continued.
"Amazing idea...... Can I find a set of instructions that can be correctly interpreted by the brain through statistical methods, and establish a one-to-one correspondence with the mechanical language output by the neural modem? It's a good idea, but there's a concept in physics called 'many, it's complex,' and I think it applies here as well. As we've learned, the brain is a black box, and the technology available to us can't understand how it processes information, unless we can download a library of assets in each user's brain, which is not possible in either a technical or practical sense. ”
Miel immediately said: "Yes, the brain is a black box, that's what I said from the beginning. Each individual has the ability to think independently and is a unique sample, but even so, we can still find their commonalities between samples. ”
"So I mentioned distributed computing, and that's how we implemented this idea!"
"In short, just get enough sample to participate in the study!"
"When a puzzle piece can be unified in the eyes of 1,000 people, the puzzle can be used for us! And the more we accumulate such puzzles, the more detailed and complete the world we build. And all of this can be done with the method I'm talking about! ”
Then, Miel explained his train of thought to Lu Zhou in detail.
In short, it is to find the information that can produce the same feedback in the human brain, and then establish a one-to-one correspondence between this information and machine language, and then realize the construction of the whole world through programming.
For example, red is 01, blue is 10, yellow is 00, and a six-character code can produce completely different colors in the human brain through different permutations and combinations.
And when it comes to the perception of basic colors, everyone is the same.
Of course, this is only the foundation of the basics, and it can not even be derived using the methods of distributed computing. In fact, it was in this way that Lu Zhou presented a blue grassland in the world that the senior sister saw.
The ultimate goal of the whole set of distributed computing research methods for virtual reality systems is to excavate all the elements such as the three primary colors and basic sounds, which can reach an indisputable consensus in everyone's brain, as the basis of the whole system.
The color in his pupils gradually became clearer, and after thinking for a while, Lu Zhou touched his chin a little excitedly.
“…… This method of building a system through distributed computing is quite interesting, and I will try to study it later. ”
Seeing that Lu Zhou had no place in this sentence at all, Miel suddenly became anxious and hurriedly spoke.
"Wait a minute, why don't you consider having me in your project? You expect one person to be able to complete such a huge project? Impossible...... Well, even if it were possible, you'd have to spend more than twice as long. If you can afford all the research costs, I'm willing to give you all the patents and stuff. I'm not very demanding, let me get involved! I'm sure I can help! ”
Miel said this with a rather crisp and crisp manner, not even distressed at all.
After all, patents have nothing to do with him in the first place.
Generally, to help enterprises engage in similar research, patents are such things that inventors don't have to think about, and the contract will generally make the ownership of patents clear, and only the top bulls are qualified to negotiate with the industry, and the average professor or researcher can get the share promised by the company to the developer, which is already quite good.
In fact, Miel doesn't care about this kind of thing either.
It's not that he doesn't love money, it's just that he knows very well that reputation is the really important capital of a scholar.
This kind of fame is not only a well-known, but also a display of academic qualifications.
Once he has enough fame and becomes a real bull in the eyes of everyone, does he still need to worry about such a trivial matter as scientific research funding?
If he really became one of the founders of the virtual reality system, I am afraid that people who want to pay for his experiments can queue up in Geneva to Zurich.
Hearing Professor Miel's hope in that eager tone, Lu Zhou, who was sitting in front of the computer, smiled and shook his head.
It's really superficial.
However, it's quite true.
Although Professor Miel's personality is not so likable, he has a sentence that speaks to Lu Zhou's heart.
As a scholar who is proficient in the field of biological neural networks and neural network algorithms, it is indeed easier to have him join than to build this system by himself.
After all, no matter how this idea is proposed, he must have a better idea of how to implement this algorithm.
After thinking for about ten seconds, Lu Zhou spoke.
"If you want to join my project, it depends on whether you are sincere or not."
Hearing this, Miel was slightly stunned.
He really couldn't think of anything else he could do for this man's plan.
His brow furrowed slightly, and he said a little nervously.
"What do you want? Money? Declare in advance that I'm a pauper."
Interrupting his boring and ridiculous speculation, Lu Zhou said straight to the point: "On the 20th of this month, the Global Artificial Intelligence Application Innovation Summit will be held in Shanghai, if you are willing to come, I can talk to you face-to-face about participating in research and development." ”
Hardly a second of hesitation, after hearing this, Miel immediately asked, "How can I find you when I get to Shanghai?" Use this mailbox? ”
Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said.
"You don't have to look for me."
"When you get there, you'll see me."
