Advanced stage of artificial intelligence: cognitive intelligence with the State Key Laboratory

Reporter Liu Yuanyuan Liu Yin

In the craze of artificial intelligence, good policies that boost the development of the industry are also coming one after another.

Following the official launch of a new generation of major projects in artificial intelligence, the reporter learned on the 20th that a State Key Laboratory of Advanced Artificial Intelligence, the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Intelligence, has been approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology. Why the country should be established specifically for cognitive intelligence Key Laboratory? It in promoting the development of artificial intelligence industry what role? Science and Technology Daily reporter interviewed the State Key Laboratory contractors and industry professionals.

Cognitive intelligence is a leap in artificial intelligence

'Artificial intelligence can be divided into three phases: computational intelligence, perceived intelligence and cognitive intelligence.' HKUST IFI President Hu Guoping said in an interview with Science and Technology Daily that the laboratory is relying on IFT Carry on the construction

Hu Guoping introduction, computational intelligence is the computer can save will be considered, in this field has long been computer over humans.Physical intelligence is to make computers have visual and auditory etc. Nowadays more and more speech recognition, face recognition, including the perception of intelligent technology, At present, great breakthroughs have also been made.

In contrast, Hu Guoping told reporters that cognitive intelligence is the language, knowledge, logic related to human intelligence, is the highest stage of artificial intelligence.The goal is to allow the machine to grasp the human language and knowledge system, and truly understand its Intrinsic Logic This is where the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Intelligence focuses its research.

'Machine from computing intelligence to perceptual intelligence, is a sign of artificial intelligence to maturity.While upgrading from perceptual intelligence to cognitive intelligence, but also a leap in artificial intelligence.' 'Shenzhen City Zhi search Information Technology Co., Ltd. co-founder and chief scientist Zheng Haitao Science and Technology Daily reporter said in an interview.

Cheng Haitao explained that calculating machines can only help people to complete complex computing tasks.With awareness, combined with the powerful computing power of the machine, you can replace human do a lot of duplication of work.For example, image recognition can play in the field of security Great effect.

Cognitive intelligence, meanwhile, means that AI begins to have analytical and thinking skills that mimic humans for more intellectual work such as automated editing and automated writing, said Zheng Haitao.

Determine the future direction of artificial intelligence

'The whole world is very interested in cognitive intelligence research, which is the current hot research direction.' Hu Guoping introduced the current R & D staff are working to improve the cognitive intelligence of machines, but there are still many bottlenecks to be solved.

Hu Guoping with a sentence as an example: 'Dad can not afford to lift his son, because he is very heavy.' Although artificial intelligence has been able to sweep the chess game, but the machine recognizes the short sentence of the two 'he' Who, may not be as good as a few years old children.

Similar to the above test to determine the relationship between activator and activist, the machine can only do about 70%. The 100,000 reading comprehension articles to the machine to do, the highest correct rate was 86%. In addition, the chat robot is very Difficult to determine whether the user is talking to it, and the user for multiple rounds of dialogue, but also subject to cognitive intelligence is not strong enough.

'Cognitive intelligence The main challenge now is that different areas of cognitive intelligence are not the same, need to build a corresponding machine cognitive model for different areas.' Zheng Haitao said that in the corresponding areas that need to allow many experts through the sum of knowledge and build a large number of Data, letting machine learning evolve, is an extremely complex process.

However, Zheng Haitao believes that once a breakthrough in the cognitive intelligence of a machine means that it possesses expert-level cognitive ability in a certain field, especially analysis and reasoning ability, then people can engage in more creative work and use man-machine Synergy greatly enhances productivity, maximizing the social and economic benefits of artificial intelligence.

'This wave of artificial intelligence boom, the ability to further open the ceiling and the formation of larger industries, cognitive intelligence breakthrough is the key.' Hu Guoping said cognitive intelligence in addition to focus on key laboratories in this area of ​​common technologies In addition, it will promote the cognitive intelligence in the medical, education, justice and other industries.
