Chapter 345: Please, vote!

　　
　　 "Brother-in-law!"
　　
　　 Zhuang Zicheng has the best relationship with Yang Huan, calling his brother-in-law affectionately as soon as he walked in.
　　
　　 Even though he is engaged, he is not married yet?
　　
　　 Calling brother-in-law now, isn’t it too early?
　　
　　 Yang Huan felt funny when he heard it. This kid must have come to ask for money.
　　
　　 Otherwise, why is the mouth so sweet?
　　
　　 "Master Huan!"
　　
　　 Compared with Zhuang Zicheng's enthusiasm, Palmer Latch seems more restrained.
　　
　　 They didn't seem to be tired of staying up late to fly from China to London by plane, but they looked very energetic.
　　
　　 Sun Yue and Zhao Yuanfang also followed them and walked in, and they all shouted together, Master Huan.
　　
　　 "Come, let me introduce you!"
　　
　　 Yang Huan smiled and introduced Jamies Hassabis.
　　
　　 Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Latch are here for Jamies Hassabis.
　　
　　 Zhao Yuanfang is Yang Huan’s investment adviser. He has been to London before and has had several contacts with Jamies Hassabis.
　　
　　 It is precisely because of Zhao Yuanfang and Kash Harris’s audit that Jamies Hassabis was able to meet Yang Huan.
　　
　　 Otherwise, he would have been directly brushed down.
　　
　　 "Demis, please talk to us about your research first, okay?" Zhao Yuanfang said.
　　
　　 Jamies Hassabis smiled slightly, took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, and handed them one by one to Yang Huan and the others, one by one.
　　
　　 This document lists the research results of him and several of his companions.
　　
　　 "As everyone knows, when I was at the University of London, I mainly studied the human brain, with the focus on the hippocampus!"
　　
　　 "I found that it is difficult for amnesiacs to plan for the future because their hippocampus is damaged. In the past, we usually think that the hippocampus is only related to memory, but obviously it is not."
　　
　　 "It is very important that the hippocampus is vital to the sense of direction, memory retrieval, and imagination of future events!"
　　
　　 "A colleague of mine did a study that proved that the hippocampus of London taxi drivers is bigger than ordinary people!"
　　
　　 Jamies Hassabis' remarks attracted the attention of everyone present, except for the Dragon Five who was secretly playing the game in the corner.
　　
　　 Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Raqi looked at the files in their hands very intently.
　　
　　 The hippocampus can determine a person's sense of direction, which plays a vital role in their research on virtual reality helmets.
　　
　　Because it may become the key to solving dizziness after wearing a virtual reality helmet!
　　
"I want to ask, Dr. Hassabis, artificial intelligence algorithms are very hot, including Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, ibm, etc., in their research, what do you think is the advantage of your research? "
　　
　　 Yang Huan is most concerned about this issue, so he asked directly.
　　
　　 Hassabis nodded towards him.
　　
"This is not a life-and-death arena. The more people invest in this area of ​​research, the more helpful it is to us, because the more people invest in this research, the more we can broaden our thinking. I think This is a good thing!"
　　
　　 After listening, everyone nodded in approval.
　　
"In addition, what I want to say is that this is a very, very large system. No one person, or no institution, can research all of them. Many other so-called artificial intelligence algorithms are actually pre-programmed by programmers. Good code, and then use the code to calculate, I don’t think this is artificial intelligence."
　　
　　 "What about your approach?" Zhuang Zicheng asked immediately.
　　
　　 Hassabis seemed very calm and calm, without any tension.
　　
"I'm doing research on the human brain, especially the hippocampus. I will study how the hippocampus stores and analyzes our memories, and how it affects our imagination of the future, so my idea is to study how brain cells interact. "
　　
"I hope to develop an algorithm that mimics the work pattern of the human brain, just like the hippocampus. On the one hand, it stores and analyzes memory, that is, the data on the Internet that is like an ocean. On the other hand, through storage and analysis With these data, the algorithm can play its own imagination of future events and be precise!"
　　
　　 Everyone present was surprised to hear it, including Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Laqi.
　　
　　 This is indeed very interesting research.
　　
　　 The affirmation of Hassabis' research from authoritative scientific journals proves that his research on the hippocampus is worthy of affirmation.
　　
　　 Then he wants to develop such a set of algorithms through the research of the hippocampus, which is also very promising.
　　
　　 Everyone’s next step is traceable, and all are affected by memory.
　　
　　 Strictly speaking, this cannot be regarded as artificial intelligence, because it is only a set of algorithms in its bones, without human consciousness.
　　
　　 But if Hassabis can really predict the future accurately based on memory, it will be a revolutionary innovation.
　　
　　 Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Raqi were already excited when they heard this.
　　
　　 Both of them looked at Yang Huan together, their eyes seemed to say, please, vote, Master Huan!
　　
　　 Yang Huan calmly looked at Zhao Yuanfang, the latter understood.
　　
　　 "Dr. Hassabis, frankly speaking, you have outlined a very interesting prospect and future, but we also want to know how do you plan to form your research team?"
　　
　　 Jamies? Hassabis still didn't look panicked.
　　
　　 He feels like he is right about everything, and he has the chance to win.
　　
　　Perhaps, people with a high IQ will feel this way.
　　
　　 "It depends on the wishes of investors. In my vision, my team should be divided into two parts. One is to engage in the most basic research, keep in-depth research, and continuously improve this set of algorithms."
　　
　　 "The other part is engaged in applied research, which is to transform our basic research results into practical applications."
　　
　　Hassabis's remarks revealed that he is indeed a smart man.
　　
　　 At least he knows how to find a balance between scientific research and practical application.
　　
　　 Investors, of course, want to see the benefits.
　　
　　 Who does an unprofitable business?
　　
"As for the size of the team, I currently have only three people, all of whom are professional researchers in related fields, but if I have sufficient funds, I hope to start with about 30 people, and then gradually expand. It is estimated that by the end of the year, the number of people Can reach 150 people, of which 75% are engaged in basic research, and the rest are applied research."
　　
　　 Yang Huan and others didn't expect that he even thought about this.
　　
　　 "Can you recruit so many researchers?" Yang Huan asked concerned.
　　
　　 Hassabis nodded confidently, "Yes, even if the conditions are right, I can dig people from the research institutes of big companies such as Microsoft, Google, and ibm!"
　　
　　 The research strength of Microsoft and ibm is world-renowned, and all of them are experts and scholars.
　　
　　 If you want to dig people out of it, you can't do it with money.
　　
　　 Perhaps because he was worried about being misunderstood and bragging, Hassabis explained again.
　　
　　 "Actually, Microsoft, Google and IBM have all approached me. Many people in their research institutes are interested in my research."
　　
　　 "Then why didn't you go?" Sun Yue asked curiously.
　　
Hassabis thought about it this time, but quickly replied,
I don’t like joining a large company. I hope to have the power of independent research. When I go to a large company such as Microsoft, they will definitely request our research. First serve their products."
　　
　　 Yang Huan was happy when he heard it, "We will definitely ask you to provide services for our products first, isn't it all the same?"
　　
　　 Hassabis smiled, faintly revealing a meaning.
　　
　　 Your scale is too small compared to Microsoft, Google and IBM.
　　
You know!
　　
　　 "Can I ask you a question?" Zhuang Zicheng finally couldn't help but asked.
　　
　　 "Excuse me!" Hassabis had already noticed Zhuang Zicheng.
　　
　　 "We are researching a virtual reality helmet, but we found that after wearing this wearable device for a long time, the head will be dizzy. Is there a solution?"
　　
　　 Hassabis thought for a while and shook his head, "No way."
　　
　　 This makes Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Laqi a little regretful.
　　
"The reason you get dizzy is because your vision tells your brain that you are moving at a high speed, but at the same time, your body tells your brain that you are not moving at all, so your brain is dizzy. This is the same as motion sickness and seasickness. One reason!"
　　
　　 "If you want to solve it completely, there is really no way, unless you don't wear it, but maybe you can find a way to alleviate the dizziness."
　　
　　 Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Laqi looked at each other, and both felt that Hassabis was right.
　　
　　 They have also invested a lot of research energy in this area, but they have not been able to make effective progress.
　　
　　 They bought a start-up company in the United States before, and paid more than 100 million US dollars for this.
　　
　　 But the effect is also very obvious.
　　
　　 This company has a series of patents, one of the most interesting is the digital light field technology.
　　
　　 Many virtual reality and augmented reality technologies nowadays use glasses to focus the eyes on the front and cannot move, so the eye muscles are extremely prone to fatigue and dizziness.
　　
　　 However, this digital light field technology directly imitates the real light field information of the real world and projects it into the eyes, so that the eyes can rotate and focus at will as if they are looking at the real world, and a panoramic depth can be achieved at any angle and distance.
　　
　　 This has basically solved the eye fatigue problem.
　　
　　 But there is still no way to completely eradicate the dizziness problem!
　　
　　Perhaps, this is an unsolvable problem!
　　
"By the way, Dr. Hassabis, we are still studying gesture control and voice control recently. Is there a way to use your algorithm to accumulate user data and make the control more accurate, or even more accurate? "
　　
　　 This time Hassabis nodded almost without hesitation, "Yes!"
　　
　　 added another sentence afterwards, "Moreover, it's not difficult!"
　　
　　 This immediately made Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Laqi both excited.
　　
　　The best way to interact with wearable devices is gestures and voice, but accuracy is an issue.
　　
　　 If the device can learn by itself and become more and more accurate according to the user's habits, then it is absolutely exciting news and will solve this big problem!
　　
　　 At present, the research direction of Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Laqi is no longer virtual reality or augmented reality.
　　
　　 WeChat Research Institute has both of these two technologies, and is fusing them together to form a brand new technology.
　　
　　 In addition, the research and development of wearable devices has not fallen.
　　
　　 Regarding the size of a brick in the previous virtual reality helmet, Yang Huan is very, very cold.
　　
　　 After acquiring several companies, it has become possible to be small and thin.
　　
　　 And Yang Huan is not in a hurry. He continues to burn money to research and to use money to bring in experts. He will launch the market only when both software and hardware are mature.
　　
　　 Why did the Apple mobile phone achieve revolutionary success?
　　
　　 not only because they sell mobile phones, but also because they have a complete supporting ecosystem.
　　
　　 It is this combination of hardware and software that has made Apple a huge success, and it has also prevented followers such as Android and Microsoft from catching up with them ~EbookFREE.me~ let alone surpassing!
　　
　　 Therefore, Yang Huan’s request for Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Raqi is to continue to work hard and continue to study and improve!
　　
　　 Anyway, there is still a lot of time, don’t worry, take your time!
　　
　　 This meeting will end here, in fact, there is no need to say more.
　　
　　 This project of Hassabis, Yang Huan has voted.
　　
　　 So, soon, Yang Huan stood up and expressed his opinion.
　　
　　 The old rule is to ask money for money, and ask people for money.
　　
　　 Hassabis requested that the institute must be in London, and he agreed!
　　
　　 The initial research and development funds of 10 million pounds, he also agreed!
　　
　　 Even in terms of personnel recruitment and project development, Hassabis requires a high degree of autonomy, and Yang Huan also agreed!
　　
　　 Anyway, Yang Huan himself doesn’t know anything, how can a layman lead an insider?
　　
　　 It's better to let them go to toss them and take care of the money yourself!
　　
　　 Yang Huan is notoriously possessive, but nowadays, such generous decentralization is rare.
　　
　　 Therefore, Zhuang Zicheng, Sun Yue, Zhao Yuanfang and others were a little surprised.
　　
　　 Is Master Huan so optimistic about this project?
