Google achieved a milestone in the advancement of artificial intelligence: a software developed by the Company won the European champion Chinese strategy game go.

The computers take 20 years to win chess games human opponents, but go, created more than 2 thousand 500 years ago in ancient China, it was far too complex.

The current software gets instead predict the opponent’s movements and learn constantly. On the go, the player reciprocates black and white pieces and is a major way that chess challenge because you have to calculate many more potential movements.

The program solves the problem AlphaGo to predict the most likely movements human opponent and therefore ready for them. The software has “two neural networks” with millions of similar connections to nerve cells, he explained Google in a blog post on Wednesday night.

First, the machine received the information on 30 million movement of experts, after which he could predict the next step that would give human opponent in 57 percent of the time.

Then, networks AlphaGo played thousands of times against each other to go getting better. In tests against other programs go the show won 499 of 500 games. In October AlphaGo he managed to beat the current European champion, Fan Hui, in five out of five games. His next challenge will be in March in South Korea against the best in the world, Lee Sedol.

The defeated champion said that unlike humans, the machine does not make serious mistakes. “Sometimes you are tired, sometimes too eagerly want to win because we feel that pressure,” he told the science journal “Nature”.

The program however, is different. “It’s very strong and stable, is like a wall. For me it’s a big difference. ” If I had not known it was a machine, I would have thought that was a very strong opponent but a very rare person.

The go is a very popular game among developers of artificial intelligence. Within hours of the statement of Google, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wrote that a team of the social network is also working on software for the game.

The world of technology heavyweights have long behind the development of computers that can learn, take on simple tasks that no longer need to make human beings and to organize vast amounts of information.

Google is using them for example in the automatic recognition of the content of photographs in its photo service. Facebook is focused on speech recognition, according to Zuckerberg.

AlphaGo was developed by the British company Deep Mind, bought by Google two years ago. Demis Hassabis cofounder stressed that the software continues to develop itself. “It’s different from a program that one has built and who knows in all its nuances what you can do. Here learned things himself, so it is shocking to see how power is appropriate, “he told” Nature “.

Hassabis created Deep Mind with the ambitious goal of teaching thinking computers.

Ciego de Ávila: develop software to predict generation … – Invader

Waiting for validation to the Scientific Council of Meteorological Institute and another group of experts avileño’s a software that will predict the power generation Cubans wind farms, designed by a team of specialists from Ciego de Ávila, led by Felipe Matos Pupo, researcher Center Cayo Coco Coastal Ecosystems .

According Invader told fellow candidate for Doctor of Science, this is a project that began in 2007 and based its analysis on the first Demonstration Wind Farm Turiguanó , north of Ciego de Avila, the first of its kind in Cuba.

MoSimpre , so the software is named, is the first experience in Cuba on the generation and is predicting great application because not only allow to determine in advance the energy intake, but the actions scheduled maintenance and repair of wind turbines.

From the study of the winds, taking into account variables such as time of year and the geographical location of parks, MoSimpre “will provide scheduled freight forwarders energy requirements for a given period of operation, more accurately solve network constraints, handle spinning reserves and manage real-time operation safer, “said Matos Pupo.

15 years since Felipe Matos works in the CIEC and nearly a decade studying winds

• How much in Cuba generate electricity from wind turbines?

The initial project, which was also attended Luis M. Batista Tamayo and Ing. Adonis Perez Lorenzo, teachers and students of the Central University of Las Villas, which complemented joined the study from the computational point of view.

Felipe Matos Pupo is a candidate for Doctor of Science research in the field of paleotempestology, that is, the study of hurricanes of the past.

Cuba currently has three wind farms: two located in Gibara, Holguin, and one in the archipelago Canarreos on the Isle of Youth; in addition to the demonstration of Turiguanó. In 2015 was released a plan in the medium and long term for the construction of 13 parks with different funding sources.

It is estimated that the use of these and other renewable energy sources would save the country about 780 million dollars annually on account of oil imports.

The possible locations of site They are based on the Wind Atlas Cuba . According avileño researcher in Ciego de Avila he said the locations of more exploration are located on the north coast. Turiguanó, Cayo Coco and Punta Alegre

Invader will soon offer dialogue with This scientist, in which software and other data will be provided academic exercise.
