Football knowledge: What does offside mean in football match?

Offside is a violation rule in football match, which means that the receiver stands closer to the goal than the second-to-last defender at the moment when the attacker passes the ball and tries to prepare for the attack.

The formulation of offside rules is a perfection of the rules in the development of football matches. In the football match in the 19th century, there is often a picture that the attacking players are all concentrated in the opponent’s restricted area or even in front of the goal, ready to start shooting after receiving the ball. Due to the high concentration of personnel, there is little wonderful cooperation in the football match, and the play is simple and boring.

In order to change this situation, mobilize the players to run actively, and increase the competitiveness and interest of the game, in 1870, the British Football Association formulated the rule of offside. At that time, it was stipulated that there must be at least three defensive players between the catcher and the baseline, otherwise they would be sentenced to offside.

In the following years, the rules of offside were constantly changed and improved. For example, in 1880, the rules of catching goal kick and corner kick were added, and in 1907, the rules of catching the ball in one’s own half were added.

In 1925, international football association board revised the offside rule again, changing the limit of three players to two. This change has greatly promoted the attack and development of football matches.

From the definition of offside, it is not illegal for a player to be offside, but if he is offside and participates in the attack, he will be sentenced to offside violation. Therefore, in the game, some players will choose to stand still after knowing that they are offside, indicating that they are not involved in the attack.

Of course, participating in the attack is not limited to catching the ball. Players who are offside will also be sentenced to offside if they have the following behaviors:

1. Get or touch the ball after passing or touching the ball by the team members, thus interfering with the game.

2. Interfering with the opposing team members, including: ① obviously obstructing the line of sight of the opposing team members, so as to hinder the opposing team members from handling the ball or affect their ability to handle the ball; (2) compete with the opposing team for the ball; (3) there is an obvious attempt to touch the incoming ball close to his position, and this move affects the opposing team members; (4) make obvious actions that affect the ability of the opposing players to handle the ball.

3. Touch the ball after the following situations, so as to gain benefits or interfere with the opposing players: ① The ball bounces or refracts from the goalposts, beams and opposing players; (2) The ball comes from any opposing player who intentionally saves the ball.

It must be noted that the following situations will not be judged offside:

1. Corner kick;

2. Directly connect to goal kick;

3. Throw a foul ball.

Football is a sport in which the feet are the mainstay, the ball is controlled and dominated, and two teams attack and defend each other on the same rectangular court according to certain rules. Football is called "the first sport in the world" because of its strong antagonism, changeable tactics and large number of participants.

The player of football is Cuju in ancient China, which spread to Europe through Arabs, developed into modern football in Britain and spread all over the world. At the second modern Olympic Games held in 1900, football was officially listed as a competition, while the first World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930. After decades of development, it became the highest honor in football and the most famous and influential football event.

The highest organization of football is the International Football Federation, which was founded in 1904 and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. The highest organization in China is the Chinese Football Association, which was established in Beijing on January 3rd, 1955.

The above is an introduction about football.

The Age of Artificial Intelligence after Super Man (8)

The robots sent by the hurricane came back in less than a week. Each robot brought back a lot of materials, so the hurricane input the design drawings and methods of "Luan Bird" to the gale through the network, and handed it over to the gale to supervise the construction. The hurricane went to the center of the ninth hospital. The hurricane went down to the laboratory below 2000 kilometers and studied behind closed doors with materials. Because when the hurricane and the gale came back, everyone wasted a nuclear battery, so this hurricane had to replenish the nuclear battery, and there was nothing extra. I went to the underground base of Jiuyuan to develop two more. I was afraid of radiation when I stayed away from human beings, and the underground was the safest, not for myself, but for human beings on the ground.

Radioactive nuclear batteries are harmful to human beings. Therefore, if hurricanes go to the center of the earth to study, they need helium 3 if they want to develop radiation-free ones. Helium 3 is a radiation-free energy source and is used by humans for experiments. Robots are not afraid of radiation, so they are generally not used. The hurricane went down to the underground research room and went to develop nuclear batteries by myself. The vice captain of the storm on the ground led the artificial intelligence robot and was building a space carrier. With the foundation of the "Luan Bird Series" aircraft carrier, the robot people’s working ability is not ordinary, and the outline is quickly welded. This design is no longer known as the "Luan Bird Series".

When the space carrier was about to be built, the hurricane came out, and the developed nuclear batteries were given to the two co-captains of Gale. Now Gale has three batteries. Two spare batteries, this is really an immortal. There were only two spare batteries. Hurricane nodded when he saw that the ship was about to be built. When all the work of the ship was basically over, Hurricane boarded the ship. In addition to the review, it is to follow something in key places. In fact, for artificial intelligence robots, there is basically no need to review and inspect, and each robot will perform tasks in strict accordance with the orders of the gale. The hurricane is more important to put the most critical technology in the ship. There is no need for others here. This is confidential.

You can see everything. This take-off and landing technology should be kept secret, because it is anti-gravity technology, and it also involves what kind of energy spar is used, so all ordinary people are not allowed to watch it. It is enough to know about hurricanes and strong winds, and soon the "Luan Bird" can be put into trial operation. This is the fastest spaceship ever built, Huaxia Ninth Life Research Institute. The acting dean wanted to go with the hurricane, but it was not approved. Because it is difficult for human beings to adapt to the outer space environment, for example, even if a spaceship is damaged, it has little effect on the robot and is fatal to human beings. Besides, this is not to play, but to explore. Any unknown planet will be in danger.

Hurricane refused to lead the dean’s request, telling him to take him again in the future and let him continue to be a good dean here. This institution is generally unattended, and the dean is also at leisure. Going into space is equal to adventure, and every day is in danger. The hurricane tested the ship and saw that there was no big problem, so it was ready to take off. Let’s not fly far first. Let’s go to the moon first. If we run in the solar system for a period of time, we are ready to leave. I went to find my own team. At the command of the hurricane, all the robots that participated in the construction of the carrier were all on the spacecraft. The specific work is that the gale is responsible for the distribution. After the hurricane announced its departure,

The spacecraft flew away from the earth soon. This time, it was mainly a trial flight. There were not many carrier-based aircraft and space shuttles. The hurricane was going to continue the construction at the lunar base, and then made plans after the moon was perfect. The spacecraft can be said to have been made at a high level, with no faults, the materials were the best choice, and the technology was also the most advanced in China. The executives were all elites. The hurricane was going to take these 1,000 robots to the moon to transform them and upgrade them.

Therefore, after the hurricane landed on the moon, this group of robots was transformed. Since then, the hurricane has 3,000 armored men, which is invincible. The formation of "Super Man" has made the place where there is life in the universe know this team that cannot be ignored. In the post-artificial intelligence era, the rising "Super Man" has always dominated the solar system in the universe.

Will robots in science fiction movies appear in the future?

Robots in science fiction movies have always been one of the technological futures that people yearn for, but in reality, with the development of science and technology and the progress of robotics, can we expect robots in the future to be as good as those in movies? This paper will discuss the development of robotics and the future of sci-fi robots from many angles.

First of all, technically, artificial intelligence and robotics are experiencing unprecedented rapid development. Since 1950s, scientists have been working hard to develop various robots. At present, many robots can perform various tasks, such as industrial production, medical care, logistics and transportation.

However, the current robot technology still has many limitations, such as the lack of high intelligence and flexibility, which makes the robot in science fiction movies still seem to be a distant dream. Secondly, from the industrial and commercial point of view, robot technology has been widely used in various fields. Many large factories and production enterprises have adopted various types of robots for production, which can effectively improve production efficiency and quality, and reduce the work intensity of human workers. In the commercial field, robots are also widely used in logistics and express delivery to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

From the perspective of ethics and safety, the emergence of robots has also brought some problems. Scientists and policy makers must seriously consider the use safety and risks of robots and ensure that the behavior of robots conforms to ethical and moral standards. In addition, the development of artificial intelligence and robotics has also brought some negative effects, such as human unemployment and man-machine relationship.

Finally, from the cultural and social point of view, robots in science fiction movies have had a far-reaching impact on human imagination and cultural value. Robots are widely used in science fiction literature and movies, and have become one of the important cultural symbols, which embodies the expectation and imagination of human beings for future science and technology. This kind of imagination has also promoted the development of robot technology, prompting scientists to explore and innovate robot technology even harder.

To sum up, although robot technology and artificial intelligence technology are developing rapidly, it is still facing great challenges to realize the robot with high intelligence, strong flexibility and emotional connection with human beings in movies. However, robot technology has been widely used in various fields, bringing great convenience and benefits to mankind.

At the same time, the development of robot technology also needs to pay attention to ethical and safety issues, ensure that the behavior of robots conforms to moral and ethical standards, and balance the relationship between the development of robot technology and human interests. In addition, the robots in sci-fi movies have a far-reaching impact on human imagination and cultural value, and this imagination has also promoted the development of robot technology, prompting us to explore and innovate robot technology harder to realize the future dream of robot technology.

Human intelligence begins with language, and artificial intelligence begins with words. The greatest wisdom of human beings is the invention of education, and intelligence is rooted in education. Education has changed the development of human intelligence from "present continuous tense" to "present perfect tense". Matter and energy in intelligent machines are real things in the physical level, while structure and time are abstract thinking in the cognitive level. Structure and time are parasitic on matter and energy, forming a hard structure; The information in the machine is a large number of soft structures, which shows that the spiritual world can be parasitic on hard structures or other soft structures, with virtual reality, virtual reality and self-reuse, and there is always at least the next time period, so that the machine can "think" again, and its order shows the ability to maintain its own thinking and produce orderly events. Human thinking and machine thinking are isomorphic in mathematics and homologous in physics, supported by energy and dependent on negative entropy for a living. The birth of intelligent machines has impacted all aspects and elements of education, from teaching "books" to teaching "learning" and then further to teaching "education", from how to possess knowledge, to how to use knowledge and then to how to create knowledge. The essence of education in the intelligent age is to cultivate the imagination and creativity of thinking. The core of human thinking is abstraction, association and interaction, and so is the machine. Machines use soft structures to extend and expand people’s thinking. More importantly, machines can think violently, and people and machines can learn from each other and complement each other, forming iterative intelligence. The problem of educational reform in the intelligent age has been urgently placed in front of all mankind. Reading changes one person and education changes all mankind.Let’s meet this learning revolution!

In recent years, many educators have embraced artificial intelligence with great enthusiasm and discussed how artificial intelligence can empower education, especially using the achievements of machine learning to improve teaching methods, improve learning efficiency and reduce teachers’ burden. As a long-term worker in the field of artificial intelligence, the author wants to look at education from another angle, from the angle of artificial intelligence, and explain why machines can think and how to think, and how to promote education to keep pace with the times after human beings have intelligent machines (people).

1. Natural evolution has laid the biological foundation of education.

Natural evolution does not care too much about human beings, so how did human beings suddenly stand in the global hegemony in such a short period of time [1]? Look at how osprey catches fish, how bees build nests, how ants dig holes, how spiders weave webs, how tigers move and catch, and how chimpanzees create and use tools. Their intelligence is amazing to human beings. Compared with other biological intelligence, the human eye can only see visible light, but the human ear can’t hear ultrasonic waves. The ability of pets to identify their owners is also better than that of their owners. The essence of natural evolution is the diversity of species, and the evolutionary law of survival of the fittest does not care too much about human beings. So, what is special about human evolution?

After millions of years, the uniqueness of human evolution is reflected in three aspects: first, in the process of human evolution from early reptiles to upright apes, human beings liberated their hands, learned to make tools and work, and compared with other creatures, human beings have a pair of dexterous hands; Secondly, human vocal cord pronunciation and cochlear hearing are exquisite and magical, and their language ability is strong. They can also distinguish who is speaking with complex and exquisite pronunciation. Third, human beings have a complex brain, first of all, the brain stem, which is the core of the whole body regulation and conscious. By the time it evolved into mammals, higher organisms had emotions. On the basis of the conscious and emotional areas, the outer cortex of the brain exploded, with a volume of about 300cm3 and a surface area of 2,200-2,850 cm2, containing nearly 100 billion active nerve cells and 900 billion colloidal cells, which became a unique human cognitive trait, as shown in Figure 1. Natural evolution has given the biological basis of education. There are only 3 billion base pairs in human genes, and genes determine the connection rules or patterns of neurons, but do not specify the connection strength of neurons. However, there are about 86 billion neurons in the human brain, with an average of about 1,000 connections per neuron, so genes cannot completely specify the connection mode and strength of each neuron, which leaves room for remodeling the day after tomorrow. Education, especially early education, shapes a person’s cognition. Compared with other creatures, natural selection, natural selection and survival of the fittest [2] have formed a complex and exquisite human brain, at the cost of taking a long time to evolve.It is to replace the generations of life and death for thousands of years, to preserve any individual who has favorable variation, and to destroy any individual who has any inappropriate deviation in structure.

Figure 1 Biological basis of education: three special features of human evolution

2. Human intelligence begins with language, and words extend outside the body to become artificial intelligence.

The history of human learning is almost as long as the history of life. It has experienced tens of millions of years of evolution from the monkey family to the Terran, and the organizational structure of the human brain has constantly adapted to human language ability. Human intelligence, knowledge, culture and civilization are acquired, supported by cerebral cortex, and the evolution of human brain organizational structure and acquired learning have made human intelligence, as shown in Figure 2. AI in the modern sense began with the attempt of classical philosophers to explain the human thinking process with the view of mechanical symbol processing. After the Dartmouth conference in 1956, AI was officially launched, and the research field of artificial intelligence was established at the conference [3]. In fact, the origin of artificial intelligence can be traced back to a long time ago. Before computers, there were abacus, slide rule, etc., which allowed thoughts, thinking and intelligence to exist independently from life. It began when humans invented languages and characters, which carried people’s thinking and intelligence. In turn, artificial intelligence promoted the evolution of human brain’s cognitive ability as a living thing, and machines could be used to simulate people’s intelligence.

Figure 2 The formation of human intelligence

Human intelligence begins with language, and language cannot be separated from context, pragmatics, semantics and grammar. The process of the invention of characters further gave birth to more human imagination, especially abstraction, association and interaction. Homo erectus, an animal hominid, created a stone culture 2 million years ago. After the long evolution of Homo sapiens 300,000 years ago and modern human characters 30,000 years ago, human communication changed from imitation, posture, gestures, spoken language, pictures to characters. The earliest cuneiform characters appeared in West Asia [4], and the earliest characters in ancient Egypt were hieroglyphics, which appeared about 6000 years ago. The hieroglyphics were ideographic and later evolved into pictographic hieroglyphics. Ancient Chinese originated 3,000 years ago, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which was found in the Yin Ruins of Shang Dynasty in China, has a rich pronunciation system, which distinguishes consonants from vowels.

The most essential difference between humans and animals is that humans invented writing.All species on the earth rely on the biological instinct of natural evolution, plus limited practical experience in their own life [5]. Only human beings are different in expanding intelligence. After a person has given birth, his or her biological contribution to the intelligence of human species is completed. However, in fact, if his or her intelligence is extended to form artificial intelligence in vitro, its contribution to the development of human intelligence still exists, and human beings pass on knowledge through language. Linguists estimate that there are more than 6,900 languages on the earth. The evolution of characters has a similar source, and later forms different branches. Pictures, cuneiform characters, hieroglyphs, pinyin characters, oracle-bone inscriptions, etc., are constantly evolving until the symbols of various disciplines (such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and music) and even the language symbols of computer programming are developed. Various abstract concepts are expressed in words, and human thoughts, thoughts, opinions, skills, decisions, problem solving, etc. are expressed in words, engraved on media and printed in books. Life has stopped, words still exist, the intelligence of a specific person still exists, and the intelligence of a group still exists, becoming artificial intelligence and human civilization. Artificial intelligence is an extension of human intelligence in vitro, starting with words. Characters are the discrete carriers of continuous language, and words are wordless, but they are not far away, and they are not long. The most basic feature that distinguishes human beings from other creatures is to express people’s thoughts, thoughts, emotions and intelligence in words, and to become the interpreter of our souls. Words can exist for a long time without life and become a part of the environment.It has become the ecology of human cultural civilization and the basis of digitalization of cognitive space.

Man is the most learning species among thousands of species on the earth.

Education began in prehistoric times, and the earliest schools in the world appeared in the ancient Babylonian civilization in the two river basins. In 3500 BC, there were a large number of textbooks and homework for clay tablet students at the ancient city site of Sulupo in Babylon Sumer, Cuba, which proved that there was a "clay tablet bookstore" for basic training such as reading, writing and arithmetic in the two river basins. In 2100 BC, there was a corridor and two rooms in the ruins of Mali City in the two river basins (20 people and 40 rooms respectively) The earliest schools appeared in four ancient civilizations (ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, ancient India and China). There were court schools in ancient Egypt in 2500 BC. In China, there were special public schools such as preface, school and school in Xia Dynasty more than 2000 BC, as well as private schools of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period. The development of a person’s cognitive ability, especially his or her learning ability, can’t be separated from his or her educational environment. The communication and inheritance of education can spread human intelligence rapidly in time and space, which makes people’s cognition and intelligence leap into the fast lane. For the first time in the history of life on earth, the only species that can use swarm intelligence and social civilization to spread and inherit the existing artificial intelligence to future generations through language, writing and education has emerged.

Humans can not only talk about concrete and real things in words and characters, but also create abstract concepts in cognitive space that physical space does not really exist. The remodeling ability of the complex nerve tissue in the outer cortex of the human brain forms memory, which lays the foundation for the second cognitive expansion on the basis of instinct. It is full of imagination and creativity, and has the instinct of learning, and knowledge is acquired by the day after tomorrow. Therefore, human beings are the most learning species among thousands of species on earth.

4. Education makes people’s intelligence develop from "present continuous tense" to "present perfect tense"

Science and technology formed by human intelligence has become the main content of school inheritance learning, not only supervised learning, but also guided learning and collective learning of students, as well as intensive learning. Knowledge is the food of cognition, and learning cultivates human inheritance, cognition and creativity. No species can spend a quarter of its life in classroom education like human beings. The advantage of education is that any new knowledge and intelligence acquired by any place, any nation or any country can quickly become the common cognition of all mankind, and the dissemination, exchange and instillation of knowledge are efficient, without personal practice, and they can be used and shared quickly. This knowledge is a social civilization formed by more than 100 billion people who have lived on the earth in tens of thousands of years. Through education, the accumulated knowledge and spiritual wealth created by human beings are passed down from generation to generation, getting rid of the single channel that intelligence evolves from generation to generation simply through genes. The "present continuous tense" that originally relied on biological evolution intelligence has been added with a new and dominant cognitive channel, that is, the "present perfect tense" that relies on education to develop intelligence.

Reading can change a person, while education can change all mankind, and intelligence is rooted in education. The starting point of human cognitive revolution is the invention of language, characters and symbols, which creates culture and civilization. These cognitions are "imaginary realities", which enable intelligence to exist independently from life, thus inventing education. The second cognitive revolution of mankind is to explore the objective world, explore matter and energy, and invent various power tools, sensing tools and intellectual tools. At present, human beings are entering the era of artificial intelligence, that is, the third cognitive revolution. By the middle of the 21st century, we have developed unconscious brain-like intelligence by using the research results of brain science, and formed a new generation of artificial intelligence that can interact, learn and evolve. According to the intention given by human beings, we have consistently served human beings, and human beings have invented thinking machines, which can be educated and expanded intelligence. In the future, the iterative development of intelligent human beings and intelligent machines will change the environment and transform themselves. There may be a fourth cognitive revolution in the future, which will be cognitive life, involving bioethics, reacting artificial intelligence to all kinds of living things in nature, and then reshaping life, including human beings themselves.

1. Education reform that keeps pace with the times: training and nurturing the endogenous motivation of students’ innovation.

Why is human being human? It should be said that the biggest difference from other species is that human beings conform to the evolution of natural human brain, form the greatest invention-education, and reform education with the times [6]. Words are the carrier of thinking activities, knowledge is the crystallization of group intelligence, and education is the means of inheritance and learning. Individual intelligence obtains group intelligence through education, and it is accumulated through repeated iterations of individual and group intelligence through inheritance and autonomous learning, which makes human beings enter the era of rapid development of intelligence. Education includes inheritance learning and autonomous learning, and cultivates the ability to think in natural language and various professional languages. Inheritance learning is to cultivate the ability to accept and use knowledge, to use explicit knowledge, to adapt to ecological civilization, and to apply internal effects from the outside to the inside, which is mandatory and guiding; Autonomous learning is the ability to generate experience, skills and knowledge through one’s own practice, to use tacit knowledge and practice repeatedly, to become instinct, to be born from the inside out, to form memories, and to have strong subjectivity [6]. In education, inheritance learning plus autonomous learning, supervised learning plus unsupervised learning, and individual learning plus collective learning can cultivate individual general intelligence, with the methods and abilities to think, analyze, explain and solve general problems, and cultivate human inheritance, imagination and creativity. Teaching is to make students have knowledge, teaching is to use knowledge, and education is to create knowledge.

Human intelligence is constantly improved through education, learning new knowledge and forming new cognition. Schools and teachers should focus on inheriting learning and imparting knowledge, and expand to cultivate the cognitive ability of human brain. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish. Education in the intelligent age is to cultivate students’ learning ability in school and even lifelong learning, improve human cognitive level and control the robot "new human". In this process, teachers are also practicing lifelong learning. From teaching "books" to teaching "learning" and then to teaching "education", it is actually a process from possessing knowledge to using knowledge and then creating knowledge, which is the reform requirement of the times for education. In addition, in the intelligent age, lifelong learning will also be given as a feature to machines made by human beings, which will continue to learn and serve human beings like human beings, which is the core of the new generation of artificial intelligence. The form of learning is interaction; The core of learning is understanding, which can be explained and proved; The result of learning is memory, consolidating or micro-reconstructing the existing memory network; Learning has become the basis for a new generation of artificial intelligence to explain and solve practical problems. When virtual teacher robots and coach robots participate in educational activities, the coordinated development of human and machines will effectively promote the progress of social civilization.

2. The core of thinking is abstraction, association and interaction.

Education has cultivated our thinking, the core of which is abstraction, association and interaction. In people’s cognitive space, cultivating cognitive thinking ability through computational intelligence and memory intelligence is also what we often call "spirit"; In the physical space, through perceptual intelligence and behavioral intelligence, the ability of body interaction is realized. There is a continuous cycle between physical space and cognitive space, as shown in Figure 3. There are two important perceptions in physical space, namely, spatio-temporal recognition and target (pattern) recognition, and spatio-temporal recognition represents position, navigation and time synchronization; Target (pattern) recognition includes target recognition, face recognition and so on, which is direct perception. Learning is the ability to explain and solve preset problems. The presupposition problem is a subset of the real problem, which is recognized. When the problem is solved, knowledge is formed and passed on to the next generation in school. Machines can accept guided learning and learn independently at the same time, which is the basis of explaining and solving new problems, while explaining and solving real problems is the purpose of learning, and the two promote each other. Only after explaining and solving the preset problems will the ability to solve and explain the real problems be enhanced. Therefore, to solve the four problems of where, how, why and what, cognitive space is not only a warehouse for memorizing knowledge, but also a sky for flying imagination.

Fig. 3 Relationship diagram between cognitive space and physical space

3. Machines can be used as the carrier of thinking, which can enhance the imagination of human thinking and cognition.

Schrodinger put forward the physical view of living cells [7], so if the machine is life, there is the life view of the machine, which we call cognitive physics. Correspondingly, the physical layer of life corresponds to the material of the machine; The biochemical layer of life corresponds to the energy and clock of the machine; The physiological layer of life corresponds to the electronic circuit and machine instructions of the machine; The psychological layer of life corresponds to the operating system and middleware of the machine; The cognitive layer of life corresponds to the high-level software and data of the machine. Life depends on negative entropy. There are matter, energy, structure and time in the machine. Clock depends on energy, time depends on clock, and order depends on time. Time is the cornerstone of machine cognition. Structure and time are parasitic on matter and energy, forming a hard structure, filling the gap between matter, energy and information (structure and time), making information and matter inseparable; Structure and time are virtual beings in cognitive space, which we call soft structures. Soft structures are the elements of thinking, supporting image thinking, logical (linguistic) thinking and intuitive thinking, and reflecting people’s imagination and creativity. Machine bootstrap realizes thinking automation, self-reuse realizes cognitive self-growth, machine operation depends on program, program depends on time sequence, software depends on interaction, and time sequence and interaction produce negative entropy. The clock keeps on, interacting with the outside world, thinking and cognition. Human thinking and machine thinking are isomorphic in mathematics and homologous in physics, supported by energy and dependent on negative entropy for a living. Therefore, the machine can be used as the carrier of thinking.

One of the most important strengths of intelligent machines is violent thinking. To give a simple example, in 200 BC, Archimedes raised the precision of pi 1,700 years ago from 3.1 to 3.14, and in 500 AD, Zu Chongzhi got the pi value of 3.141,592, which took a total of 2,400 years. It took only 70 years to calculate it with a computer designed by Turing computable model, and raised pi to 1012 decimal places, as shown in Figure 4. Machine violence replaces infinity with large enough, and infinitesimal with small enough. Picosecond (10-12 seconds) can be used as time precision to control the time sequence period and execute recursively. As a biological human brain, its physiological response precision is only milliseconds (10-3 seconds), and it is beyond its power to solve the complex problem of exponential explosion. If a piece of paper can write 60 lines, and each line can write 17 digits, it will take 1 billion pieces of paper to finish. When the papers are stacked together, the stacking height will be 100,000 meters! Therefore, it is normal for machines to have more computing power than human beings. There is no need to make a fuss, whether it is protein’s folding prediction, AlphaGo’s program competition, or ChatGPT’s superior language understanding ability. From this point of view, machine violent thinking can complement human beings and greatly help human beings to improve their thinking and cognitive imagination.

Figure 4 Machine violent thinking helps human beings to improve their thinking and cognitive imagination.

The impact of artificial intelligence on society is all-round, but the impact on the industry should be educated first [8]. Artificial intelligence impacts prenatal education and preschool education, primary and secondary education and vocational education, general education of all kinds of majors [9], re-education after work, and all-round education, which is everywhere and ever-present.

Artificial intelligence also impacts all elements of education, including teachers, teaching environment and means, and teaching objects. In the era of intelligence, great changes have taken place in education. For teachers, we can replace teachers with virtual famous robots, and teachers no longer need to go back and forth for classes. For the teaching environment and means, textbooks and classrooms can be turned into virtual classrooms and personalized teaching platforms, where everyone can do different things; As for the object of teaching, it has also changed. Students can be robots, adding robot students-virtual digital people and physical robots. How to train robots to keep pace with the times? Should we train a machine teller in a bank or a person in a certain position in the customs in our education work? If 50 years later, 50% of the courses are taught by virtual masters, 50% of the students and 50% of the robots are listening, and the remaining 50% of the students are listening online, what is the scene? Therefore, the impact of artificial intelligence on education is all-factor.

The history of human cognition does not develop in a straight line, but is an evolutionary process of spiral cycle. Human cognition and artificial intelligence advance iteratively, develop together, learn how to learn and learn how to think [10], and human society has been cast into what it is today. Education is changing the fate of all mankind, and science and technology are the first driving force of human activities. With the iterative development of human intelligence and artificial intelligence, education has a new connotation.

Chinese literacy is thinking literacy, which is beyond discipline.Human beings bear the brunt of language intelligence. Humans use soft structures such as language, characters and symbols as carriers of thinking, so that thinking can be separated from living things and implanted into machines, simulating simple but cumbersome recursive calculation of living things, forming history, spirit, science and technology, culture and civilization; Under the hammer of words, philosophy, religion, law and human rights, state and politics have also been forged. Science and technology and humanities are of the same origin, so it is a misunderstanding to put Chinese teaching in liberal arts. Chinese carries thinking, and Chinese progressive thinking can be promoted. Everyone, especially intellectuals, will study for life, learn Chinese for life, expand their thinking and let their imagination fly.

Digital teachers teach by robots, and teachers become coaches and counselors.Some disciplines have made little progress in cognition for decades and tend to be mature and stable; In some disciplines, the cognition of several outstanding figures has greatly activated the frontier and development of the discipline. Therefore, the form of school classroom education with fixed time, place and personnel has been impacted for hundreds of years. The knowledge points of teaching materials of various disciplines can be flexibly loaded into machines, and classroom lectures are standardized and modularized. Virtual robot teachers are divided into famous teachers, which weakens the time and space walls of schools and disciplines, emerges "golden lessons", popularizes "micro lessons" and eliminates "water lessons". The scale of virtual classrooms and virtual simulation experiments can be too large or too small, and the lectures of virtual famous teachers will be rapidly popularized.

Teach machine learning and train machine successors to work.Take our research on unmanned driving as an example [11,12], there are three steps as follows, as shown in Figure 5. The first is driver operation and robot learning, which is guided learning; Then robot operation and driver intervention, which is semi/weak guided learning; Then there is robot operation and robot self-learning, which is autonomous learning, and the feedback from back to front is repeated many times, and the conversion is uncertain, sometimes it returns to supervised learning, and sometimes it returns to semi-/weakly supervised learning. Guided learning includes preconceptions, tasks, guidance, doubts, doubts, mutual cognition, supervision, etc. Autonomous learning is an important link to turn the results of guided learning into long-term memory. It can be seen that it is not an easy task to train machine successors. A few years ago, unmanned driving was paid too much attention to the automation level from L0 to L5, and automatic driving was regarded as an automation project, but the self-learning and self-growth of the robot driving brain were ignored. Only by continuous learning and iteration can it become a good machine driver.

Fig. 5 The learning process of training machine to replace people’s jobs-taking unmanned driving as an example.

Turing test of examination, assessment and evaluation [13] is normalized and personalized.Artificial intelligence has promoted the transformation of the traditional examination, assessment and evaluation mode. Taking Shang Tang "Yuanluobo" robot as an example, Turing test has built-in 26-level difficulty chess game, more than 100 pieces to deal with, independent observation of chess game changes, calculation of chess moves, taking chess moves, millimeter-level operation accuracy, second-level time response, "hand-eye" coordination, clean movement and compact rhythm. It has the authority certification of chinese xiangqi association of the State Sports General Administration, and supports the evaluation of chess grades of 16-13. In the future, all kinds of professional qualification examinations in the society will be changed, including the national college entrance examination.

Man and machine learn from each other and innovate together.The core of thinking is abstraction, association and interaction, and more is the creation and connection of soft structures. Machines are increasingly replacing many intellectual and technical jobs that human beings used to do. Teaching machine learning and homework, and studying and homework with machines will become the normal state of people’s life and work. The result of learning is to fine-tune the long-term memory in the machine, that is, to fine-tune the network topology of artificial intelligence trace cells. Autonomous learning is an important link to transform working memory into long-term memory. Fortunately, the machine can be copied in large quantities, and the machine itself can continue to learn. Interact with machines, people teach machines, machines teach people, and cooperate with innovation. One day, there will be a large number of famous machine teachers, digital people and human teachers, machine engineers create new material formulas, and machine scientists put forward new assumptions, which will drive new scientific discoveries.

Reading changes one person and education changes all mankind. We have developed "abstraction" from the symbolism school of artificial intelligence [14], "association" from the connectionism school, and "interaction" from the behaviorism school to create thinking machines. Therefore, intelligent machines are to human intelligence, just as books were to thinkers, telescopes to astronomers and microscopes to biologists. Machines use soft structures to extend and expand people’s thinking (memory intelligence and computational intelligence), which not only frees people from heavy repetitive work, but also better meets the standardization requirements of corresponding jobs (embodied intelligence). More importantly, they can think violently, teach and learn from each other between people and machines, and interact with each other to innovate. The problem of educational reform in the intelligent age has been urgently placed in front of all mankind. Let’s meet this learning revolution!

"Sugar Bean Man" Linked with "Doraemon" Theater Edition

Recently, "Sugar Bean Man: The Ultimate Elimination" announced that it will launch the theme skin in conjunction with the theatrical animation "Doraemon: Daxiong and the ideal hometown of the sky", which is expected to be installed next season.

Doraemon’s latest theatrical version Doraemon: Nobita and the Ideal Land of the Sky was released in Japan yesterday (March 3rd).

It’s like Doraemon ate people.

More than 50 Amazon cloud games run away.

After Google shut down its cloud game platform Stadia at the beginning of this year, Amazon’s cloud game platform also suffered a blow. According to official sources, Luna, the cloud game platform that Amazon finished testing and officially launched in the United States last March, will lose more than 50 games this month, including three-year masterpieces such as Psyche, and another 35 games will leave the platform before the end of March.

According to statistics, since October last year, Amazon Luna cloud games have gradually lost 30% of the game products on the platform. It is reported that not long ago, Amazon’s cost reduction and efficiency increase actually affected the Luna cloud game department, and dozens of marketing and technical employees were laid off.

Looks like it’s going out of business, too

Microsoft launches all-round artificial intelligence model

IT House reported on March 4th that Bing Chat based on ChatGPT has made many users feel the power of AI, and Microsoft recently launched a more powerful all-round AI-KOSMOS-1. ChatGPT is a plain text LLM, and it is a more powerful multimodal large language model (MLLM).

Kosmos-1 can handle text, audio, images and videos, and build an all-round artificial intelligence, which can handle tasks like human thinking.

The researchers wrote in their academic papers: "As a basic component of intelligence, multimodal perception is a necessary condition to realize artificial intelligence". The visual example display model in Kosmos-1 paper analyzes the image and answers questions about the image, reads the text from the image, writes the title for the image, and tests the visual IQ with 22-26% accuracy.

This upgrade is too fast.

Concept of artificial intelligence: These five leading "artificial intelligence" industries are expected to usher in high growth in the future.

With the progress of the times and the improvement of various infrastructures,Artificial intelligence has also been frequently used in people’s daily life, and it has entered our life field with an irresistible trend, and there has been a trend of blending.In the future, the role and influence of artificial intelligence will be greater and greater.

First, the emergence of artificial intelligence is bound to bring human culture to a higher field. It can be used not only in our study, transportation, shopping and life, but also in some medical industries to perform some high-precision operations, which greatly reduces the error rate, ensures the safety of patients, and plays an important role in promoting social harmony and enhancing residents’ sense of happiness and security.

Second, China’s artificial intelligence related technologies were introduced relatively late compared with other countries.However, the momentum of development is very fierce, and the acceptance of consumers is generally high, especially in recent years.Many consumers pay special attention to the development of domestic artificial intelligence, so the society has a high degree of fault tolerance for products in this area, and the policy inclination is very obvious in the field of science and technology, which has injected vitality into the development of enterprises and provided support.

Third, China’s artificial intelligence is relatively not in a leading position. Most artificial intelligence products are only used in daily life, such as sweeping robots and chatting robots. Most of these intelligent products are relatively primary and their communication is very modular. However, some intelligent products with relatively non-modular communication are too expensive to be widely used by the society. China is currently strengthening and improving in this regard.

The main technical goal in the field of artificial intelligence is semantic intelligence, which is a cognitive intelligence technology based on semantic understanding.

Continue to "destroy" painters? AI combination boxing, subverting the media creation mode!

The popularity of ControlNet should also be discussed from this back photo.

A girl posted a back photo with three friends on the beach in a circle of friends. Very common daily sharing, photos are beautiful, but not much!

Then, a man named @viggo saw this photo, made some processing with AI painting and sent it to social software, which caused an uproar about AI painting.

Viggo used AI to process photos twice before and after painting. For the first time, he generated two comic photos with great aesthetic feeling, which changed the gloom of the original picture and made the whole picture look brand-new. The most surprising thing is that,AI did not obliterate the posture of the original picture, but greatly preserved the posture of the four girls.For example, the second girl on the left is carrying her hand behind her back, which is also preserved in the generated works.

Perhaps seeing the enthusiasm of netizens, viggo followed by a second round of creation. This time, the effect is even more amazing, no matter from the layering of the picture, the sense of lines or the use of special effects in the scene, it makes people shine.

With the popularity of his paintings, viggo shared the production method very openly. He exposed himself with the help ofStableDiffusionandControlNetThe power of.

As we all know, Stable Diffusion is a high-performance model, which generates higher quality images, runs faster, consumes less resources and occupies less memory, and is a milestone in the field of AI image generation.

01

So what is ControlNet?

A plug-in, which can accurately control and adjust the image.

ControlNet is an image morphing algorithm based on control points, which is mainly used in digital image processing, computer vision and computer graphics. In addition, it can also carry out nonlinear deformation of the image according to the given control points, so as to realize accurate control and adjustment of the image.

Let’s look at the basic structure of ControlNet first. ControlNet manipulates the input conditions of neural network blocks, thus further controlling the overall behavior of the whole neural network. here"network block"Refers to a group of neural layers, which are put together as a common unit for constructing neural networks, such as resnet block, multi-head attention block and Transformer block.

The concept is abstract, let’s take a look at its drawing effect!

1. Canny edge detection:By extracting line drawings from the original image, images with the same composition are generated.

2. Depth detection:By extracting the depth information from the original image, a map with the same depth structure can be generated.

3. ControlNet with semantic segmentation:

4. Diagram of HED edge detection

02

Where is the power of ControlNet?

-highly refined

Its advantage is that it can adjust the image with high precision without distortion.Compared with other image morphing algorithms based on grid or shape, the morphing effect of ControlNet is more natural and smooth, and it can better adapt to the characteristics of the image.

Simply put, this technology can add an additional input to the AI diffusion model and limit the output direction of AI. Just like building roads and signs in the endless desert, it provides a direction for lost travelers.

Before the advent of ControlNet, AI painters had to work hard on "magic spells" if they wanted to produce images with specific characteristics-users often needed to add a series of actions and position modifiers to describe the posture and physical characteristics of the characters in the pictures. Even so, drawing still needed a lot of luck. With ControlNet, AI can produce image files that meet specific requirements through sketches, human key point features, depth maps, human bones and other features.

At the beginning, it is mentioned that the back of four girls is generated. According to viggo, he first uses StableDiffusion pictures to convert words, then uses Text2Prompt plug-in to expand the search for keywords, and finally uses ControlNet plug-in to bind bones to start trying to change keywords.

Many people think that the release of Stable Diffusion is a milestone in the generation and development of AI painting. It provides the public with an available high-performance model, which not only produces very high-quality images, but also has low requirements for resources and memory. It doesn’t need any complicated operation, just select keywords, and it will create an image with great visual effect.

The emergence of ControlNet solved the pain point of AI painting. Using keywords to generate pictures will inevitably be flawed, especially in details.And ControlNet can improve the effect of drawing, and go deep into very subtle places.

More than that, it can also realize the conversion from line drawing to full-color drawing, and input a line drawing to get a filled drawing.

In a word, a stunning AI painting can be done by using Stable Diffusion to generate high-quality big pictures, supplemented by ControlNet icing on the cake.

Of course, its power is far more than that, besides generating static images, it can also generate dynamic videos!

03

The idea of ControlNet video

Recently, #AI One-Click magic change Video # has become one of the hot topics recently. In fact, this is the video version of ControlNet.It can generate pictures with the same composition through line drawing extraction, posture detection, or model recognition.

For example, IKUN and Titanic, which we are familiar with, can generate magic change videos with one click!

There are many ideas of videoization in ControlNet:

Method 1:Export the original video frame by frame, and then use ControlNet to transform the style of each picture. It is recognized that there is no one of the most cumbersome ways!

Method 2:Combined with EbSynth, key frames are generated by using ControlNet. Compared with the former one, it is much more convenient.

Method 3:Combining ControlNet technology with Pix2PixVideo technology, an online demonstration version of video generation supporting ControlNet is developed, which is the simplest generation method at present.

The user interface is very simple. When the original video is imported, the video will first be disassembled into a frame sequence, and the human pose map will be detected by using the Openpose model in ControlNet, and then a new portrait will be generated according to the text. Thanks to the control of the pose map, the human posture can be kept unchanged.

It can be seen that with the iteration of technology update, more and more technologies similar to ControlNet will flood into the market, and many people think that the painter profession is facing a great threat.

04

ControlNet should not let painters stop imagining.

But to help it better control the operation of the brush.

With the introduction of ControlNet in AI painting, it will bring a series of influences.This technology can help machines accomplish more tasks, improve productivity, improve painting quality and efficiency, enhance human-computer interaction, and provide new visual experience.At the same time, it also means that traditional artists may face competitive pressure.

As more and more enterprises began to use AI painting to draw images, ControlNet technology began to enter people’s field of vision. At present, many enterprises are trying to use ControlNet technology to improve their image rendering technology, and hope to gain more competitive advantages by using this technology. Applicable industries include construction industry, machinery manufacturing, energy industry, medical industry, government agencies and other industries.

It is generally believed that this can better control the "motion" of the brush and draw the desired image more accurately.

In a word, ControlNet has an important influence on the development of artificial intelligence and AI painting, but it never makes human painters lose their imagination! In the future, the development trend of ControlNet is more prospective.

ChatGPT question and answer

ask

What are the defects of AI painting at present?

answer

Current artificial intelligence

Lack of creativity: AI painting can only generate new images based on existing images or data, lacking human creativity and imagination. Although AI can extract the features and styles of images through deep learning and generate corresponding images, AI lacks intuition, emotion and creativity, and it is difficult to create works of art with unique personality.

Unreal picture: AI painting can generate realistic images, but there are still some shortcomings in details and textures, and sometimes the generated pictures are not real enough to be easily identified.

Dependence on data: AI painting needs to rely on a large amount of data for training, and the lack of data will affect the quality of generated images. At the same time, the generated image is also easily limited by data, and it is difficult to create a new image beyond the data range.

Insufficient imitation: AI painting sometimes simply copies and repeats existing images or styles, lacking innovation and breakthrough, and it is difficult to achieve real imitation.

Insufficient ability of dialogue and interaction: At present, AI painting still lacks the ability of dialogue and interaction, so it can’t really interact and create with users, and it is difficult to meet the individual needs of users.

Open a new bureau and start a new journey | The first release and application of "Wisdom Teacher Training Meta-Universe"

A few days ago, in the third "Love and Profession" activity in the first season of "Teacher Talk" in Guangzhou in the new era, held by the Bay Area Experimental School in Nansha District, Guangzhou, the digital twin wisdom teacher training meta-universe platform developed by Guangzhou Open University was officially released. This is one of the first practical projects of educational metauniverse in national colleges and universities, and it also marks an important step for Guangzhou Open University to comprehensively promote educational intelligence, explore the educational model of metauniverse, and promote the professional development of teachers in Guangzhou.

As the main implementation unit of Guangzhou’s "Pilot Area of Artificial Intelligence Boosting Teacher Team Construction of the Ministry of Education", Guangzhou Open University actively builds a regional teacher development big data center and artificial intelligence engine, expands the platform and resources of teacher education through multiple channels, builds a "smart teacher training" system for primary and secondary school teachers, and promotes the in-depth integration of new technologies and education and teaching. And through the collaborative innovation of enterprise alliance, we cooperated with China Telecom to research and develop the "Wisdom Teacher Training Metauniverse", which achieved remarkable results in the construction and application of Metauniverse. In 2022, the "5G+ Metauniverse Wisdom Teacher Training Construction" project won the third prize of the fifth "Blooming Cup" 5G Application Collection Competition of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. In 2023, the project "5G+ Wisdom Teacher Training Meta-Universe Platform Helps the Construction of Primary and Secondary School Teachers" won the third prize of the first "Xingzhi Cup" National Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Application Competition on Ecological Construction sponsored by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Guangzhou Open University and China Telecom’s technical team set up a digital twin metacosmic scene platform for this activity for the first time. From the aspects of technology, adaptation, scene, function and other applications, the functional applications of learning, socializing, meeting, activities and other scenes in the metacosmic space were fully demonstrated, providing more than 40 online teachers and offline participants with an immersive experience of three-dimensional, virtual and real integration and multi-sensory interaction. On-site participants can not only roam the virtual venue through the big screens on both sides of the venue, but also wear VR equipment in the meta-universe experience activity area to experience the virtual venue space; At the same time, online participants who enter the teacher’s meta-universe space can choose digital virtual characters to sit down and listen to lectures, realistically reproduce the real scene of the venue, build a three-dimensional integrated space scene, and immerse the meta-universe venue with real-time online interaction.

In this activity, Guangzhou Open University showed the participants the application functions of the "Wisdom Teacher Training Metauniverse" platform, mainly in the following aspects:

In the technical application, through the wisdom teacher training the scene construction ability of the cloud platform in the meta-universe, the layout of virtual space scenes, characters and content elements is built; Engineering development of 3D content and business logic through the key technology and capability base of cloud platform in the meta-universe; Support flexible deployment methods such as public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud through the convergence ability of platform and cloud network in the meta-universe cloud; Through digital multimedia technologies such as VR and digital twinning, 3D modeling is carried out for teaching and training elements such as characters, environment and props to create a multi-dimensional immersive classroom; Using artificial intelligence, speech recognition and other technologies to enhance the interactive effect.

In the adaptation application, the digital twin wisdom teacher training meta-universe adopts communication technologies such as 5G communication and cloud network convergence to broaden the application dimension, and supports multi-terminal access experiences such as mobile phone, VR, PC and cloud rendering.

In the scene application, according to the original teaching and training scenes, the design innovation was carried out, and technologies such as 5G, VR, digital reconstruction, live broadcast and virtual digital were used to create a number of immersive online education and training scenes for the first time, namely: public service hall (customized classroom of Education Bureau), ladder classroom (meta-universe classroom) (classroom teaching theme), conference discussion room (meta-universe interactive room) (interactive discussion and training) and school auditorium (meta-universe).

In terms of functional application, the built scenes all support multi-person online collaboration in different places, and realize multi-person communication, discussion, interaction and other activities.

The event was broadcast live online to teachers in the city, and more than 400,000 viewers attended the event online, witnessing the application of the digital twin wisdom teacher training meta-cosmic technology, which was a complete success. In order to break the limitation of geography and time and space, realize the new format of online and offline integrated teaching and research in different places, and solve the problem of unbalanced educational development between regions, schools and urban and rural areas, a successful social experiment was carried out, which was an important practice for further promoting the construction of teachers’ team with new technologies such as artificial intelligence, empowering educational innovation, and promoting the modernization of education in Guangzhou with the high-quality development of "smart teacher training".
