After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 169: Xiaosha, this technology that seems to come from the future was pried open a small gap!
"Yeah!" Wei Shujie and Zheng Siyao both nodded, and they agreed with this idea.

You can't achieve everything in one bite. Building the framework first and then filling it with content, and then gradually training and improving, is definitely an effective method. Moreover, Baiju Technology must be very good at this kind of training. Xiaosha's success story is here.

Just in this moment, Hao Cheng began to call Xiaosha and give such a tool a name.

Mo Shu - this is the Chinese name of the tool that Hao Cheng chose from several options given by Xiaosha.

The ancient Chinese Mozi school was good at cross-border thinking. Mozi once used the three-table method of "origin, origin, and use" to solve cognitive differences. The "Mo Jing" embodies this infinite wisdom.

The word "shu" comes from Guiguzi, which says "shuttle is the center of the ring to respond to the infinite", representing that this tool serves as a core hub connecting various fields.

As for the English name, Xiaosha directly suggested using "SynapseAI". The word "Synapse" originally means "synapse" (the synapse of neurons in the field of biology).

Hao Cheng thought they were very appropriate and adopted them all.

"Lang Lang's catchy, meaningful, and commercial attributes are all within Xiaosha's consideration,"

Wei Shujie couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaosha's ability is even stronger than before. Even if someone goes to get it, it will be nothing more than this."

"Tool development is a long-term task, and our main task now is to design algorithms for how machines can make judgments."

The topic just took a slight detour, but for Hao Cheng, this work is the top priority. It not only involves new chips, but also involves the further development of Xiaosha's abilities.

Previously, Xiaosha had a hint that solving this problem could further enhance Xiaosha's human-like thinking ability.

"Professor Zheng, please tell me what you think."

Hao Cheng has systematically studied Zheng Siyao's notes and papers in the past two days. Combining them with what he learned in the late-night class, Hao Cheng decided to take them through this process.

A single tree does not make a forest, but a garden full of flowers in spring.

Hao Cheng never thought about doing everything by himself from the beginning. It was just that in the beginning, he himself didn't know how Xiaosha was trained and how he grew up, so he didn't know where to start to study it.

But now, his goal is clear.

In the schematic diagram of the big circle inside the small circle in the office, Hao Cheng added a "middle circle" in the middle, dividing the work to be done into two parts - one part is to move forward based on real technology, and the other part is to reason backward from the intersection of the big circle.

In the first part of the process of moving forward from real technology, Hao Cheng decided to gather a large number of top talents from all walks of life to move forward together with him.

Reasoning backwards from the intersection of the big circle is actually the result of Xiaosha's current micro-consciousness ability and the relevant knowledge and abilities he learned in the late-night class. These things far exceed the current technological level, so Hao Cheng decided to continue his own research.

Indeed, no one can help with these things for the time being.

"We all know that more and less, big and small are actually relative concepts."

When Zheng Siyao heard Hao Cheng asking her to share her opinion, she took out her tablet and showed the two a picture. In the picture, a piece of rice paper was splashed with ink. She then asked, "Is this ink stain big or small?"

"Of course it's big!" Wei Shujie blurted out without hesitation.

Zheng Siyao smiled slightly, poked the tablet with her finger, and then said: "This is an effect magnified a thousand times. In fact, this rice paper is one foot wide and seven feet long."

If you shrink the image to its original size, the ink splash will be just a tiny black dot. If you don’t look closely, you can’t even tell it apart: “Is it bigger or smaller now?”

Hao Cheng nodded but didn't say anything.

He could see that Zheng Siyao was now in teaching mode. It had to be said that her teaching ability was quite strong. At least Mr. Wei Shujie next to him was being guided by her and was following her rhythm completely.

Zheng Siyao continued, "In fact, people judge the number and size based on their intuition and comparison with the surrounding environment. For example, when we arrive at a scenic spot, we often feel that there are people everywhere, and there are a lot of people.

"But in many cases, this is not necessarily accurate. In fact, everyone's evaluation criteria are different. We may think there are too many people because there are always queues. But the scenic area management staff still thinks it is not enough."

As Zheng Siyao spoke, she wrote two big words on the tablet: "Morphism!"

Hao Cheng smiled. Morphism is a concept in category theory, and in mathematics, it is a process abstraction that maintains the structure between mathematical structures!
When Hao Cheng got Zheng Siyao's notes and things related to fuzzy functions, he thought of one thing. What kind of connection does this abstract process have with the concept of mapping in his previous micro-consciousness training?
Hao Cheng thought about this question for a long time.

During the micro-consciousness training process, Hao Cheng has sorted out and studied the training program for quantifying, mapping and integrating personality, emotions and even desires, which are unique to humans, countless times.

Hao Cheng is also trying to learn and understand the super code system involved.

The so-called process abstraction, morphism, is essentially a code system.

These two concepts are essentially the same.

In addition, Xiaosha said that by solving this problem, Xiaosha's ability can be further improved. Hao Cheng misunderstood at first, thinking that there would be a reward for solving this problem. Now, it seems that it is highly likely that solving this problem itself is a kind of training for Xiaosha.

When thinking about this question, Hao Cheng was excited.

This was the first time that he connected real-life mathematical knowledge with the relevant training of micro-conscious AI in late-night classes.

Moreover, it seems that this theory of "schema projection" is the basic theory of the primary or seedling stage of micro-consciousness training.

Hao Cheng understood its basic principles and training methods!
Just like that, a small crack was created in Xiaosha, a technology that seemed to come from the future!
Rather than knowing nothing, Xiaosha's abilities improved by clicking "kakaka". He preferred this kind of ability improvement where he could understand and know the principles.

"Wei Shujie and Zheng Siyao are a pair that are simply my lucky stars." This idea suddenly came to Hao Cheng's mind.

Zheng Siyao continued to explain her related research: "The human eye judges whether something is too much or too little, and the judgment comes out in just one click, which is based on experience and comparison.

"Similarly, if the machine makes a judgment, it will freeze the picture. For example, for the ink blob just now, the whole piece of paper will be divided into grids, and then counted. A full grid or more than half of the ink is counted as 1, and less than half is not counted. Then it is compared with all the grids. If it exceeds 50%, it is counted as too many.

"That's the normal practice. Now, we're not counting anymore."

Zheng Siyao returned to her major: "We define a category as an abstract relationship between objects..."

At this time, they had already entered the in-depth field. This thing was much more difficult than advanced mathematics. Of course, Hao Cheng could understand it. The various abstract things he learned in late-night classes were much more abstract than this thing. But Wei Shujie's pupils were almost dilated at this moment, and he was about to fall asleep. In his eyes, was this something that people could study?

When it comes to advanced mathematics, such as differential calculus and integral calculus, he is quite good at it and has excellent grades.

But category theory, abstract relations, groups, rings, what the hell are all these? Are you sure this is mathematics and not some imaginary scriptures?

No matter how Wei Shujie listened, he felt that this thing had nothing to do with science.

"Then let me ask you, is AI training scientific?" Hao Cheng smiled and said, "What your girlfriend just said is a mathematical solution to this problem."

"From the perspective of algorithms, this can be completely transformed into AI training," Hao Cheng continued:

“If you don’t understand what it means to define a category as an abstract relationship between objects, then when I say [build a value network], conduct an overall assessment of the situation, and then conduct model feedback through repeated training and checking results, do you understand?”

"I understand!" Wei Shujie nodded continuously. Isn't this the process of AI's ability training?

"But actually, do you really understand?" Hao Cheng asked:
“Although we can train AI, we don’t know how the AI’s neural network is improved step by step. We only know the results.

"So-called process abstraction is very similar to this. However, process abstraction has a series of theoretical support, and mathematical methods can be used to conduct in-depth research. Do you know what this means?"

"Is it true?" Wei Shujie was drowsy just now because of his girlfriend's exaggerated talk, but after listening to Hao Cheng's analysis, he certainly knew the value of it - the training of neural networks is controllable!
Previously, the training of neural networks was uncontrollable, and the results of a training session could be good or bad.

Only by retaining good branches and continuing the training cycle can the AI model become more and more powerful, but most of the time bad results are abandoned, which also consumes computing power. In fact, most of the computing power is wasted here.

"Really!" Hao Cheng nodded to confirm that the training of neural networks can actually be controlled now.

Of course, Xiaosha is the AI of the micro-consciousness model, which is not exactly the same as this, but with the help of this theory and algorithm, it can still be further improved.

"So, come on, our task is to transform Zheng Siyao's mathematical theory into a computer algorithm for solving problems."

Hao Cheng smiled and said, "You don't need to understand the so-called process abstraction. Just think of it as [building a value network with feedback regulation]. Is this possible?"

……

"Siyao, how is it?" Coming out of Hao Cheng's office, Wei Shujie asked his girlfriend: "Am I right, Mr. Hao, this is a versatile person!"

"Yeah!" Zheng Siyao nodded: "My mentor once said that those who study and understand category theory are not human beings."

Wei Shujie thought to himself that this was true. He thought he was capable enough and his math was not bad either, but he once thought that category theory was theology.

"But, Mr. Hao, how many days have you been studying this thing?"

Zheng Siyao was more shocked than anyone else - she had been exposed to things like prototyping and category theory for at least seven or eight years, and only recently with the help of Xiaosha and the team had they come up with such a set of theories.

However, in just a few days, Hao Cheng seemed to understand everything! He even understood more!
Because just now, Hao Cheng also mentioned the abstraction of human personality, emotions and even desires, which are unique to humans, for use in AI emotional simulation.

This thing may sound very sci-fi at first, but it is actually something related to category theory—but not two-dimensional category theory, but high-dimensional category theory.

High-dimensional category theory has another name in the industry, or it cannot be called a name, but a nickname - heavenly book category theory.

"What about you? Have you done any research on this?" Seeing Zheng Siyao throw out another concept, Wei Shujie couldn't help but ask curiously. He was really curious about how advanced his girlfriend's brain was.

"A and B are related. What is the relationship?" Zheng Siyao shook her head. "It's an illusory relationship. Not many people in the world can figure it out. But I think Xiaosha's training is related to this!"

"You mean, Mr. Hao understands?"

“High probability!”

……

Hao Cheng didn't know what Wei Shujie and Zheng Siyao talked about, as he was busy at that moment.

The conversion between mathematical theory and computer algorithms is one aspect, and the subsequent solution of the uncertain input chip is another major focus.

This reminded Hao Cheng of the design of the adder that he had upgraded using Xiaosha's upgrading ability.

The combination of micro-consciousness and adder, the complex connection and mapping, the concept of "real when used, virtual when useless" and the corresponding virtual-real conversion logic, all have a set of connotations in it.

At that time, Hao Cheng's understanding of this thing was still very one-sided.

But today, when he took this thing out again, Hao Cheng instantly had a flash of enlightenment, and then it instantly spread and filled his entire mind!
"So that's how it is!" Hao Cheng laughed up to the sky: "So that's how it is!"

He finally understood what the chip design of a micro-consciousness is like - the process is abstract, the result is clear, the real and the imaginary, it should be a micro-consciousness.

There is no problem with the design, but manufacturing is still a problem. At least it is simply a fantasy to manufacture such chips with current equipment.

The more he understood, the more Hao Cheng realized how difficult it is to manufacture this type of chip.

Moreover, this is completely different from the current chip design theory, and it is not something that can be solved by basic gate circuits and binary systems.

“But it’s not completely impossible!
Hao Cheng nodded. He now had an idea of how to implement the relevant logic of the micro-consciousness on a binary chip - he had to work on the instruction set and micro-architecture!
"We need to make a logical mapping between the two!"

Hao Cheng's thoughts gradually opened up:

"And this mapping, in current computer chip terms, is actually the instruction system.

"However, unlike general instruction sets such as X86, ARM, and RISV, this instruction system is designed based on the [mapping] of the AI concept with a micro-consciousness model."
