Chapter 191 Isn't this really a plot from Hikaru no Go? (4000 words)
After returning to the dormitory from the study room, Gao Bo opened Kaggle as usual. He wanted to see how the three competitions he participated in on Kaggle ranked on the public leaderboard.
Kaggle is an online data science and machine learning community whose main feature is its data science competitions.
Many companies and research institutions publish practical problems and data sets on Kaggle. Participants solve problems by building and optimizing models and compete for rankings and prize money.
Kaggle classifies these competitions according to difficulty and type. Most of the primary competitions are just for practice and do not have any prize money.
However, the bonuses for projects released by many research institutions and large companies are still very good. Sometimes you can earn tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars with just a few lines of code.
The premise is that your level is high enough.
As a graduate student at Stanford, Gao Bo and two partners have entered seven competitions on it, four of which have been closed and he has not won any prize money.
The remaining three competitions are still open, with different teams signing up every day. The public leaderboards under each project are also updating the score rankings in real time.
Three days ago, Gao Bo and two of his friends used a dynamic programming algorithm to build a model in a competition to optimize logistics distribution routes. The first prize was 25,000 Malaysian dollars, and their score currently ranks first on the public leaderboard of this project.
This is the first time that Gao Bo's team of three has ranked first in a Kaggle competition with prize money.
However, this is only a public list, which only evaluates 30% of the test data. When the project is closed, there is also a private ranking list with a weight of 70%. When the project is closed, the first place on the public list will usually drop a few places.
But ranking first on the public list is still first, which is already a remarkable progress for Gao Bo's small team.
"Ah..." Gao Bo couldn't help but let out a disappointed sigh when he saw the updated ranking list.
Sure enough, he was overtaken by someone else, and now the person ranked first is called...juzi?
orange?
Also a Chinese?
Gao Bo opened another competition they were participating in, this one issued by a life insurance company, requiring participants to develop an automated risk classification model that could simplify customer form filling.
The prize money for this project is not high, the first place winner only gets 15,000 Malaysian dollars.
This kind of competition is actually a recruitment advertisement. Those who score higher will be offered an offer and asked whether they are willing to join the company.
Although Gao Bo didn't want to join, he still wanted to earn the bonus.
"Huh? Or this juzi?"
Gao Bo was stunned when he opened the project's public rankings. The first place in the public rankings of the two competitions he participated in was from the same team. This was very rare.
Gao Bo opened the last open competition they participated in, the 2nd Annual Data Science Bowl, a competition organized by Booz Allen Hamilton. The competition required participants to create an algorithm to automatically measure end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes in cardiac MRI.
The first place prize is as high as 125,000 Malaysian dollars, and it has attracted more than 100 teams and more than 500 contestants to submit their algorithm results.
"Holy crap! It's this orange again? The score is 0.00121? What's the point of comparing this? There's no need to compare, right?"
This competition clearly uses a logarithmic loss or error-type scoring metric, where the lower the score, the higher the actual ranking.
So far, the second place score on the public leaderboard is 0.0183.
The difference is an order of magnitude.
Although the participating teams can continue to improve their algorithms and resubmit them to improve their scores before the deadline, the gap is so large that it is almost impossible for the second place to catch up.
Moreover, this is the first submission of this juzi team, while the second place has submitted three times.
Gao Bo opened several other competitions and was surprised to find that Orange participated in almost all competitions involving model algorithms, and always ranked first!
Someone is dominating the Kaggle rankings!
Which team is this?
So strong!
——
"Hoo~ Everyone, the first phase of testing is over! Orange took first place in all 12 competitions open on Kaggle!"
"Basically, we can confirm that the world's first true general artificial intelligence has been born!"
Hua Zecheng looked at the researchers with excitement and emotion, who also had excited expressions on their faces.
General artificial intelligence.
While countless major companies around the world were still focusing on niche areas like probabilistic graphical models, computer vision, heuristic search, and genetic algorithms, the world's first general artificial intelligence (AI) had quietly been born in a dilapidated two-story building in a remote corner of Haixi National University in Dazhou.
Under the name of Orange, they participated in 12 competitions currently open on Kaggle. These 12 competitions had different directions. Without any auxiliary supervision, the Orange model alone analyzed and judged, and based on the data set and rules provided by the competition, it made corresponding algorithms and produced results.
For a newly born artificial intelligence, even if it only ranks in the middle of the public rankings, it is already a great miracle!
Orange's performance far exceeded everyone's expectations. The algorithms it compiled for each competition requirement far exceeded the general level in terms of efficiency and accuracy.
This is an even greater achievement than defeating Gu Jie!
The fact that we beat Gu Jie only proves the huge role of DBAS algorithm and deep learning in artificial intelligence, and now the performance in the Kaggle competition shows the practical application capabilities of this large model!
Hua Zecheng can already see that an artificial intelligence revolution that will sweep the world is about to begin!
The life and destiny of countless people may change with this revolution!
——
Others didn’t know how things would change, but Gu Jie was the first to see changes because of the big orange model.
Yesterday, he played with black and defeated Li Shishi with difficulty in the key stage, winning by half a point, and the score between the two returned to a tie.
Today is his last game in the Dream Lily Cup final, and it is also the deciding game of the entire cup!
Before Gu Jie made his debut, Lee Se-sil dominated the chess world for more than ten years, winning 14 world championships and 18 international championships, and was the undisputed number one in the world.
Gu Jie's rapid rise saw him sweep all the championships he participated in last year. He maintained a perfect record against Li Shishi in the past two matches and even knocked Li Shishi off the world's number one ranking.
This Dream Lily final can be said to be a peak showdown between the new and old kings!
In the first three games, Li Shishi could feel that even though he was temporarily leading Gu Jie with a score of 2:1, Gu Jie still maintained strong confidence.
The young man in front of me, who is just 18 years old, has the same indomitable spirit as when he first debuted.
After going to the Da Zhou Chess Academy to fight again, Li Shishi keenly discovered that Gu Jie seemed to have lost a lot of his sharpness. Although he beat him in the previous game, he would often fall into inexplicable dilemmas during the game and was very indecisive.
What happened to this guy?
But no matter what, I won't hold back!
"Snap!" Li Shishi placed the first black piece on the chessboard.
In a Go game, the first few moves are fixed and are played quite quickly. Only when entering the middle game and starting the fight will there be more time to consider.
But to Li Shishi's surprise, Gu Jie fell into long thought at the first move.
What is he hesitating about?
Li Shishi frowned. Could it be that this kid is not a good student and wants to be Selby in Go?
Even his predecessor, Stone Buddha Li Changhao, did not rely on grinding to play chess.
Each side in the final had only three hours to consider the situation. For the first move alone, Gu Jie sat in front of the chessboard for a full ten minutes before placing the first piece.
“Bang!”
Finally, the move was made. Li Shishi remained calm and continued to occupy the corner at his own pace.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
…
The sound of white chess pieces dropping came continuously. When it came to the tenth move of white chess, Gu Jie hesitated for a moment, and then "bang!" the white piece landed at the corner of the board.
Point three three?
Li Shishi's eyes fixed.
What's the trick?
This is the last set of the final.
Doesn’t he know that if he loses the championship, he’s gone?
After Masaki Takemiya created the point-3-3 opening pattern, it has been proven by countless chess players that this opening pattern has a very, very low winning rate.
Even Gu Jie himself has never used this pattern in a formal competition.
What's going on?
“Bang!”
Li Shishi took out a black piece and made a move as usual.
Gu Jie's next move was also very traditional, and Li Shishi's 13th move continued with the black chess piece choosing a long move.
Gu Jie continued to climb according to tradition, and Li Shishi continued to grow.
The next step is to fight and stick. Seeing Gu Jie stopped, Li Shishi was playing with two chess pieces in his hands.
If this continues, today's game may be easier than expected.
"Snap!" Just when Li Shishi was considering the next layout, Gu Jie made the 16th move, firmly placing it in the middle of the chessboard!
What?
Separate hair!? No sticking!?
What is this method?
Li Shishi couldn't see clearly for a moment.
"Bang!" Li Shishi thought for a few minutes and directly forced a move in the middle.
Without any hesitation, Gu Jie immediately made a move between the white piece in the middle and the one below.
!!!
Li Shishi leaned forward involuntarily.
New pattern! ?
According to traditional concepts, the original black chess piece was extremely thick, and the white chess piece could only respond by using sticking and pulling. In this way, at least thirty or forty points would be lost, which would be extremely unfavorable to the subsequent situation.
But now Gu Jie did not choose to stick to it, but directly chose to catch the ball at a high position.
All of a sudden, his thick black chess piece became an isolated one! ?
Li Shishi took a deep breath, touched his pocket, and signaled to the referee that he was going out to smoke.
"Hiss~" Li Shishi stood at the door of the chess academy and took a deep sip of the soft Da Zhou in his hand, sucking down one fifth of it.
This guy Gu Jie actually developed a new pattern!
And it is the point 33 that has always been considered completely unsuitable in the opening stage!
Li Shishi smoked two cigarettes before returning to the game room.
Take off first!
Li Shishi decided not to fight anymore. If he continued, he would only lose more.
Bang!
Bang!
The sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard could be heard from time to time, sometimes dense, sometimes sparse.
As time went by, Li Shishi's complexion became worse and worse.
Because he found that in just one day, Gu Jie's chess style seemed to have changed dramatically!
What kind of move is this?! How dare he do that?
“Bang!”
Following Gu Jie's move in the 169th move, Li Shishi took a deep breath and placed two black pieces in the lower right corner of the chessboard.
Gu Jie wins!
All the Da Zhou media present were excited and the cameras were flashing.
Li Shishi stood up and extended his right hand to Gu Jie. "Congratulations, you won! You played very well! Especially your opening pattern. This may be a huge revolution in Go technology. I need to think carefully about how to respond."
To Li Shishi's surprise, Gu Jie was not as excited as he had imagined. Facing his congratulations and the flashing cameras, the originally ambitious 18-year-old genius seemed to have a bitter smile on his face.
When facing reporters' interviews after the game, Gu Jie was uncharacteristically arrogant and showed no signs of arrogance.
You know, this is Gu Jie who dared to say in front of reporters before the final, "Lee Se-sil's chance of winning the championship is less than 5%, it's time for the legend to end"!
When almost all the reporters were expecting him to say something immature again, this 18-year-old genius suddenly became mature?
How is that possible?
"Gu Jie! Gu Jie! You won the MLily Cup. This is your second world championship. Does this mean that you have now secured your position as the world's number one?" A reporter's microphone was almost touching Gu Jie's mouth.
If it were Gu Jie's character in the past, he would either brazenly ask, "If I'm not number one in the world, who is?" or, with false modesty, suggest that perhaps in a few decades a player who will surpass him will appear.
But to everyone's surprise, when faced with this question, Gu Jie was silent for a moment before he said, "The world is big, I just won the championship of this competition."
????? ?????
What's going on?
"Gu Jie, Gu Jie, you used the very unusual three-three opening in your opening. What were your thoughts at the time? What do you think of what Teacher Yuan said during the live broadcast just now, saying that this pattern might be the biggest discovery in Go in the past 20 years? How did you come up with this pattern?"
Facing the reporter's professional questions, Gu Jie shook his head: "This is not a formula I came up with."
???
It's not a formula you came up with? Then who did it?
Even Yuan Jiye said that he had never seen anyone use this pattern before. He praised you for a long time during the live broadcast, saying that you are worthy of being the best in the world and that this pattern may be a revolutionary improvement.
The Go community is so small, it's impossible for a new pattern to come out without being used by others, right?
"I don't know who invented this pattern, but a few days ago I was playing chess with him online. After winning the first game, I lost two games in a row. This was the pattern he used in one of the games."
"No, no, no, I don't think he's a professional chess player. I can't think of anyone with a similar chess style. He might be a folk master."
Gu Jie said frankly.
Losing is losing. Although it was a private game that day, Gu Jie did not want to claim the credit.
Otherwise, if this kind of thing gets out, the chess player's reputation will be ruined.
Did Gu Jie lose online? Did he use the same moves as his mysterious online opponent?
Is this true or false?
Isn’t this really the plot of Hikaru no Go?
A mysterious master suddenly appeared and beat the world's number one master to a pulp on the Internet, and even used extremely powerful martial arts created by himself?
Gu Jie, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Could it be that this kid got confused from watching anime?
"What is the name of this mysterious master? Can you tell us?" the reporters asked curiously.
"Orange." Gu Jie left two words, shook the trophy, turned around and left the interview area.
orange?
Let me tell you, this is the only update I will make today, 4,000 words.
I need to adjust my schedule and update.
In fact, I have updated quite a lot this month, averaging nearly 7,000 words per day. There were even 6 days with nearly 10,000 words updated, including yesterday and the day before yesterday, two consecutive days with 9,000 words each.
This amount of updates already exceeds that of most writers.
The reason why readers feel that updates are slow is mainly due to issues with update frequency and update time.
I have been posting updates later and later recently, with many chapters not being published until the early morning or even dawn. This has a particularly bad impact on my grades, so I decided to make some adjustments.
And if I continue like this, my body won't be able to take it anymore. In order to keep writing and bring better conditions to everyone, I must make adjustments.
This is just one chapter today, but the total update volume today is also nearly 7,000.
I will try to return to the normal state of first update at 6pm and second update at 10pm tomorrow.
Thank you everyone.
