China News Service, Beijing, June 16 (Ma Shuaisha) The Department of Computer Science, Tsinghua University, held a "Hua Zhibing" results conference on the 15th.
As China's first original virtual student, "Hua Zhibing" will start his study and research career in the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University under the tutelage of Professor Tang Jie of Tsinghua University.
What did "Hua Zhibing" study at Tsinghua University?
How to learn?
How about learning planning?
Members of the "Hua Zhibing" R&D team from the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Tsinghua University gave an on-site introduction.
Is "Hua Zhibing" physical or virtual?
A few days ago, "Hua Zhibing" posted a self-introduction video on social media that caused netizens to watch.
In the video, "Hua Zhibing" has a natural face with a ponytail, T-shirt, jeans, and a red backpack, walking around the Tsinghua campus, just like ordinary college students.
Many netizens questioned whether "Hua Zhibing" is physical or virtual?
Tang Jie, the Dean of the Department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University, said that he is currently designing the 2D and 3D digital virtual characters of "Hua Zhibing".
The team is still discussing whether to make "Hua Zhibing" a physical robot, and to what extent the physical robot can change the intelligence of the AI subject.
"Hua Zhibing" is jointly "trained" by the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University, Beijing Zhiyuan Research Institute, Zhipu AI and Xiaoice Company.
"She" is based on China's super-large-scale intelligence model "Enlightenment 2.0", which aims to create cognitive intelligence driven by data and knowledge.
Yin Xia, director of the Department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University, said that the launch of the virtual student "Hua Zhibing" is to integrate the artificial intelligence technology of the Department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University and make a benchmark application system in the two-wheel drive of data and knowledge. It is also a model of the combination of computer theory and applied research.
What did "Hua Zhibing" study at Tsinghua University?
Relying on Zhiyuan "Enlightenment 2.0", Zhipu AI data and knowledge two-wheel drive AI framework, and XiaoIce's complete AI dialogue question and answer framework, "Hua Zhibing" can not only compose poems, compose music, and generate pictures, but also have certain Reasoning and emotional interaction capabilities, which make "she" greatly different from ordinary virtual characters.
At present, "Hua Zhibing"'s talents include poetry, painting, dancing, singing, and music making.
How did "she" learn these talents?
Jia Jia, an associate professor hired by the Dean of the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University, explained by taking painting as an example: “First, let'Hua Zhibing' learn human painting strokes through data, and at the same time, we need to use nouns and adjectives to tell'her' the content of painting and each Kind of visual effect."
Jia Jia is mainly responsible for the generation of "Hua Zhibing"'s external image, voice, expression, mouth shape and body movements. For example, through real human expression data, teaching "Hua Zhibing" how to generate expressions acceptable to humans; through recording The human body movement data on the podium is used to train "Hua Zhibing"'s verbal and physical gestures; optical equipment is used to collect key human movement data when dancing, and the experience summarized by the choreographer is converted into programmable data. Bing", thus teaching "her" to dance.
In addition to versatility, the ability to automatically answer questions with both IQ and EQ is also one of the talents of Hua Zhibing.
Huang Minlie, an associate professor appointed by the Dean of the Department of Computer Science at Tsinghua University, summarized the characteristics of the next-generation intelligent dialogue system as "knowledge, emotion, and personality."
He pointed out that dialogue must not only be meaningful, but also need a "temperature" to achieve empathy.
At the same time, the consistency of the machine's personality and identity is an important foundation and prerequisite for establishing a credible human-computer interaction.
What is the future learning plan of "Hua Zhibing"?
Referring to the future study plan of "Hua Zhibing", Tang Jie said that in the first year, he hoped that "she" could "read the world books extensively", that is, to learn various corpora; in the second year, he hoped that "she" would learn deep knowledge, namely Mining the hidden patterns in the data; in the third year, I hope "she" can innovate like people.
Regarding the longer-term goal, Tang Jie pointed out that she hopes that "she" has general machine cognitive capabilities beyond the Turing test.
"We hope that'Hua Zhibing' can rely on a large model. When faced with different learning stages and application scenarios, it will not retrain the model, but instead enrich and enhance the model."
"AI is moving from perceptual intelligence to cognitive intelligence, and the key to AI algorithms has also become the subject of how to realize AI cognition. Therefore, we want to be a cognitive-oriented AI subject. The original intention of designing the virtual student'Hua Zhibing' is I hope that'she' can finally think like a person, continue to learn like a person, understand people's ideas, actively produce interactions that meet user needs, and intuitively and comprehensively capture human needs. This is also an attempt for the next generation of AI." "Hua Zhibing" said a member of the R&D team.
