It’s just over a year since Google’s DeepMind unit stunned the world when its AlphaGo AI beat Go legend Lee Se-dol 4-1 in a five-game match; the result demonstrated mastery of a feat that had eluded computer scientists for decades and sparked a flood of new interest in the field of artificial intelligence. But there was one possible “gotcha” that Go devotees could hold onto: Lee Se-dol was once, but is no longer, quite considered the greatest player on the planet.
一年之前，谷歌旗下DeepMind團隊研發(fā)的“阿爾法狗”出人意料地以4比1擊敗韓國圍棋冠軍李世石，這一結果證明計算機科學家們掌解決了幾十年來所面臨的難題，也引起了人們對人工智能領域的興趣與關注。然而對于圍棋愛好者來說：李世石已經(jīng)成為曾經(jīng)，不再是世界上最厲害的圍棋選手。
That distinction is now considered to belong to Ke Jie, a 19-year-old Chinese player ranked number 1 worldwide. A professional since the age of ten, Ke has beaten Lee several times in high-profile matches in recent years, including three finals victories in the three months leading up to Lee’s AlphaGo match. And next month, Ke will get his own showdown with DeepMind’s AI.
目前，世界排名第一的圍棋選手是19歲的中國棋手柯潔?？聺崗?0歲開始就成為了一名專業(yè)的圍棋選手。在近幾年的知名比賽中，柯潔曾先后多次打敗李世石。在李世石與“阿爾法狗”大賽前三個月中，柯潔曾在三次總決賽中戰(zhàn)勝李世石。下個月，柯潔將與DeepMind團隊的人工智能一絕高低。
At the Future of Go Summit in Wuzhen, China, Ke will face off against AlphaGo in a three-game match. Another game will see five of China’s top pros attempt to team up to take down AlphaGo, while another will see a pro-vs-pro match where each player alternates turns with an AlphaGo teammate.
在即將舉辦的“中國烏鎮(zhèn)·圍棋峰會”中，柯潔將與“阿爾法狗”展開三番對決。在團隊賽中，五位中國頂尖職業(yè)棋手將組成戰(zhàn)隊，以集體智慧對抗人工智能；在配對賽中，棋手將分別與“阿爾法狗”組隊，挑戰(zhàn)棋手如何理解AlphaGo的獨特風格，并與之合作。
After its comprehensive victory over Lee, AlphaGo will be the favorite for the match with Ke, who recently lost a few unofficial online games against the AI. But whatever happens, the wider variety of game formats this time will give some fascinating insights into how the AI performs in different situations. How will it react to taking on multiple play styles at once? And what will humans be able to learn about their own capabilities?
在全面擊敗李世石之后，“阿爾法狗”和柯潔成為最為熱門的對手。最近，柯潔曾在幾場非官方的網(wǎng)上游戲中敗給“阿爾法狗”。無論怎樣，本次比賽多樣化的形式能使人們從更多的角度認識人工智能。“阿爾法狗”會如何應對多種風格的比賽？人類又能從中學到什么？
“Instead of diminishing the game, as some feared, artificial intelligence has actually made human players stronger and more creative,” DeepMind CEO and co-founder Demis Hassabis says. “It’s humbling to see how pros and amateurs alike, who have pored over every detail of AlphaGo’s innovative game play, have actually learned new knowledge and strategies about perhaps the most studied and contemplated game in history. Clearly, there remains much more to learn from this partnership between Go’s best human players and its most creative A.I. competitor.”
“人工智能并沒有像很多人害怕的那樣取代圍棋選手，反而使人類選手更加強大，更具有創(chuàng)造力，”Deepmind首席執(zhí)行官和聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人戴密斯·哈薩比斯表示：“圍棋專業(yè)人士和業(yè)余愛好者專心鉆研“阿爾法狗”比賽中的每個細節(jié)，更加了解這一最為神秘與深奧的游戲，并從中掌握更多策略。很明顯的是，人們能從圍棋頂尖高手與最富有創(chuàng)造力的人工智能競爭者之間的關系中學到很多東西。”
The Future of Go Summit is a collaboration between Google, the China Go Association, and the Chinese government, and will also include a forum on the future of artificial intelligence that we can likely expect Google to use as an opportunity to check in on the technology’s progress. It’ll take place between May 23rd and May 27th.
“中國烏鎮(zhèn)·圍棋峰會”由谷歌公司，中國圍棋協(xié)會和中國政府三方聯(lián)合舉辦，屆時還將舉辦討論人工智能未來發(fā)展的論壇。谷歌公司將有望利用這次機會介紹人工智能所取得的進展。此次峰會將于5月23日至5月27日之間舉行。
