Xueba's computing system

Chapter 90 Computer Fortune Telling

According to the theory of Zhou Shuiyi, the charlatan, people will definitely be affected by psychological factors, and Feng Shui can affect people through psychological factors.

Lin Yuan still agrees with this point.

Not to mention Feng Shui, even the weather can affect people's mood.

For a simpleton like Xia Ye, the sweetness of a cup of milk tea can affect her sadness or happiness.

The argument is fine, but the charlatan's reasoning is ridiculous.

The data in his paper were all collected by him on the spot, and there was nothing wrong with this collection method. However, the data he collected were such as:

After someone asked a Taoist temple for a certain instrument to improve his home's Feng Shui, his illness got greatly improved;
After someone changed his name to supplement the five elements, not only did his three highs in his body ease, but his mind also felt greatly relaxed;

Lin Yuan does not deny the positive effects of factors such as Feng Shui on personal spiritual level, but it is visibly difficult to collect such data.

Because science and engineering require rigor, how can you prove that someone's mental relaxation is due to following Feng Shui? This thing cannot be quantified at all, and the first element of AI training is the collection of sample data, and the sample data must be digitally quantified.

Therefore, the data on the influence of factors such as Feng Shui on people cannot be collected at all.

The sample data that AI can recognize is: how many percentage points a person's mood improves after changing his or her name to supplement a certain five-element vector.

That’s right. Not only does the change in mentality need to be digitized, but even the changes in the five elements need to be vectorized.

If you really want to force it.

Lin Yuan thinks that you should at least come up with the concept of five-element vectors first.

For example: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth can be represented by a 1X5 vector: [a1, a2, a3, a4, a5].

Each character a represents the five elements in a person's destiny.

Similarly, when using gossip to describe things, you first need to quantify them as much as possible.

The concept of hexagram position can be described by a 1X8 vector.

Only in this way can AI understand the data.

But Zhou Shuiyi, the charlatan, did not do that. He just wrote a paper related to AI, and then said that he used the elements of Bagua Feng Shui, and that was it.

It's like a chef cooks a table of Western food, and then puts a few Chinese cookbooks next to the table. Then the chef says that he has integrated Chinese cooking methods into the Western food, but you don't see where the so-called integration of Chinese cooking is reflected.

Lin Yuan supported his chin and wondered what would happen if he were to write a paper on this topic.

For example: the role of Feng Shui elements in food delivery algorithms.

Then he had to take into account the local history and culture of Zijin City, and then the climate, transportation, geography, politics, economy and other factors. After all, humans are economic animals, and the economy is affected by all factors in the world.

Lin Yuan will definitely look for the shadow of Feng Shui among these factors that affect economic development.

"This way, you can just force it in."

Hard concave?

Ok?
Suddenly, a flash of lightning like the bright night sky flashed through Lin Yuan's mind.

"I am currently struggling with how to figure out the algorithm."

The core part of the algorithm was developed by the system. Lin Yuan could understand it, but he could not justify himself and reproduce the entire implementation derivation process.

He can fool good groups, but he can't fool his mentor.

Lin Yuan could roughly guess the process of the computing system implementing the food delivery algorithm. It must have fully extracted the merchant's surveillance images and the rider's delivery data to obtain an abstract model of each merchant and rider.

Lin Yuan also thought about letting the system give a reasonable deduction process along this technical route. However, network surveillance images involve the privacy of businesses. If this is made public, regardless of whether the deduction process can be justified, Lin Yuan himself will have to go in and operate the sewing machine first.

Therefore, Lin Yuan cannot deduce according to the normal technical route.

Lin Yuan, who was frowning because of this matter, accidentally discovered the factor of "Feng Shui" because of Xia Ye's unintentional silly behavior.

The purpose of AI training is to come up with answers, and it is even called computer fortune-telling by many people in the industry.

This is not groundless, but from a principle perspective, this is pretty much what AI does.

Since it is fortune-telling, it is not too much to mix some Feng Shui elements into it. Okay, the next step is to let the system follow the discourse system of Bagua Feng Shui and force out a reasonable algorithm deduction process.

[System, try to understand this piece of wood from the perspective of 3 binary bits. ]

The system quickly marked the binary numbers corresponding to each hexagram in the air above the eight hexagrams.

Kun Gua: 000.

Zhen Gua: 001.

Kan hexagram: 010.

Dui Gua: 011.

Gen Gua:100.

Li Gua: 101.

Xun Gua: 110.

Qian Gua: 111.

The system still followed Lin Yuan's previous understanding of it. If Lin Yuan had not guided it to try to interpret the Bagua from a binary perspective, then the system would not be able to understand the Bagua diagram no matter how many times it looked at it.

[System, I hope you can understand. You and I, what we need most right now is to hide ourselves.]

[Because I was careless the first time I cheated, I now need to embed the algorithm's derivation process into the Feng Shui model. ]

[I hope you don't think I'm not doing my job properly. Please don't freeze my computer again. ]

Lin Yuan tried to load an introductory video of Zhouyi Bagua into the system. Fortunately, the system was considerate this time. Perhaps it realized the dilemma Lin Yuan was facing, and the system finally did not cause any more trouble.

And what Lin Yuan has to do next is to help the system find a large amount of information about Zhouyi Bagua Feng Shui.

He had no interest and no energy to learn about this. Even if he did understand it, it would be a very complicated matter to force the information of merchants and riders in Zijin City into the discourse system of Feng Shui.

This is obviously not something that can be accomplished by human power alone.

This kind of thing can only be done by the computing power system.

After completing all this, Lin Yuan could finally lie down on the bed.

Who could have imagined that Xia Ye's being deceived would lead to a series of butterfly effects.

Lin Yuan didn't even dare to think about his mentor's reaction after hearing his fantastic idea. 'Will he scold me for betraying my teacher and ancestors?'

Isn't this just like holding a modern fan meeting in a place where traditional crosstalk is performed?

Fortunately, there is still Zhou Shuiyi, the charlatan, who can serve as a shield.

After all, he is a full professor at a legitimate university. Lin Yuan even checked his information on the official website of Xiabei University and found that he really existed.

In this way, Lin Yuan could justify his actions as being inspired by seniors in the industry.

'I don't know where this charlatan came from.'

From the limited information Lin Yuan had learned from the forum, it was obvious that this guy had a background. Come to think of it, who would believe that someone who acted so recklessly could be a professor without some background?

As for why he can still be a professor despite doing such nonsense, this is the Internet age.

Lin Yuan is no longer surprised.

For example: A well-known professor who teaches Japanese history at a university in Songhu went to a certain website to teach a course, but he made a lot of low-level mistakes and was scolded so much that he quit the Internet.

As for the art departments of major prestigious universities, they are the hardest hit.

Do you think this doesn't happen in science and engineering? Naive!

As long as you pay attention, you will find that there is never a shortage of strange and bizarre things happening in this Internet age.

What's more, Zhou Shuiyi is a very low-key guy. If Lin Yuan had not retrieved his paper, he would not have known that there was such a person.
