Chapter 63 Algorithms Only

(I opened a new book: The Three Realms Protagonist Chat Group)

Liu Muyang woke up and felt refreshed. After breakfast, Qiao Xiaoshan's big jeep was parked under Liu Muyang's residence. Everyone who came and went turned around and looked at him. This car was too domineering.

Today happened to be the weekend. Liu Muyang and Ming Jiayue got on the car together. Liu Muyang went to work and Ming Jiayue went shopping. The two had nothing to do with each other.

For Internet companies, Saturday is a weekday, and Sunday may take half a day. This industry is really "52" and "white and black".

Juran accompanied Liu Muyang to view the company's database. This kind of database will collect viewers' hobbies, viewing time, viewing length, etc. through the terminal, and then analyze which type of program members really like to watch. Then the system will actively push the content they like to watch, so that members can save them from the trouble of searching. This is also the most commonly used method for online companies now.

Any algorithm requires logical reasoning, and the basis for these reasoning is data. Through this data, some algorithm is compiled, and the algorithm gives the computer system the ability to "think" independently.

The algorithm writers of the source code company wrote the "interest extraction algorithm" based on the data in the database. In fact, this is the simplest algorithm and it is not something worth showing off.

"Brother Ju, have you ever thought about some algorithms that you think are worth applying?"

Liu Muyang sat next to the computer and asked.

"Well, I have thought about it. For example, we have thought about judging the viewer's position through mobile phone positioning. If it is in a car, we can push shorter videos to him. If it is at home, we can push longer videos to him, and so on. However, this analysis error is very large and has not been promoted."

Liu Muyang listened while recalling the data in the database, and then began to write code. The speed was amazingly fast. One line of code is one line of code in one second, and half a minute is one page of code. No one can keep up with his speed.

In just three minutes, when Liu Muyang hit the Enter key, he saw the changes in many data in the database and rearranged according to the time point.

"I extracted about 500 people's viewing data, and these people are the results. You see, these people, they watch more in the morning and afternoon. The data I have obtained is that they are all elderly people, and they often watch some videos about health, and these people only watch more in the evening. I think they are working class."

The algorithm designed by Liu Muyang is very exquisite. It can summarize the occupation, personality, and even age characteristics of the video viewer. With these data, targeted design can be made, which can be said to be a "measurement of the right medicine".

Ju Ran and the designers looked at each other, feeling incredible, and even a little magical.

Is such a complex algorithm designed like this?

They are all experts, not half-baked, and know how difficult it is to write a feasible algorithm.

Computers are not human brains. Human thinking and actions are very direct. They can be said to do whatever they want. For example, if a person wants to pick up a glass of water, the brain forms this idea and issues instructions to his hands, and his hands and feet will complete the instructions.

But the inner thinking of the human brain is not that simple. The human brain is a complex system that has evolved over hundreds of millions of years. It is far from comparable to computers. Even humans themselves know very little about the operating mechanism of brain thinking.

Many scientists speculate that human thinking has several or multiple basic principles, such as logic is definitely a basic principle, but humans have emotions and sometimes they don’t talk about logic. What principle does this follow? Then I don’t know.

Artificial intelligence refers to a computing system with human thinking mode. Of course, if you think of such complex thinking in humans at this stage, you should not even think about it, and humans will not consider it so complicated. Computer experts can only achieve human thinking mode in one aspect.

For example, the current push service of Internet websites is based on collecting the types of things users usually like to see and pushing them to users as soon as possible. This "thinking" method is very simple for humans, but it is a very complicated task for computers.

Source code companies also have their own push services. It’s not that this kind of system is very simple. In fact, such algorithms have become popular in the computer field. After all, it has been more than 20 years since the Internet age entered. Seven years ago, the artificial intelligence system “meditation” defeated the top Go master in mankind.

From that moment on, human society has entered the era of intelligence. After years of popularization, push service systems have become accustomed to it. They are not considered very profound technology. If you don’t master it, you will be embarrassed to say that you are an Internet company.

But don’t think that any algorithm is so simple. On the contrary, every algorithm that can be successfully applied to the market is researched through a lot of manpower and material resources, and most of them are gathering the power of a top team.

Of course, there are also some senior algorithm engineers who can do it alone, but there are very few such talents. Each one is a treasure in the industry. If one appears, it will be snatched away by a well-known large company. Annual income of one is only a basic salary, and most of them have annual salary of several million, or even tens of millions.

The algorithm system written by Liu Muyang is not original. Some businesses of Penguin have such processing methods. Small companies should not think about it. Your database cannot get enough data support. How to design it?

But Liu Muyang designed it, okay, everyone thinks this is not a surprise. After all, you are the chief architect now, and this job is yours, but it is very problematic to design it in just five minutes: What is your head? Is it a human head? This algorithm is so simple?

In fact, it is not simple at all. Ju Ran and the others can read it clearly. In just five minutes, Liu Muyang wrote more than 400 lines of code. You should know that this is not sitting by the computer writing novels, writing whatever you want.

There is a rigorous logical relationship between each command. This logic is formed by a collection of hundreds of higher order equation functions, multiple inequality and outrageously complex instructional expressions, and is the result of a large number of calculations.

When Chu Juran designed a push service system, even though she mastered the key formulas, it took their team half a month to write it.

The problem that a team took more than half a month to solve, how did it take you, Liu Muyang, solve it in just five minutes? Is there any reason for this? Is there any kingly law?

Of course there is no law of nature and no law of kings, because Liu Muyang's thinking has a "latitude" gap compared with ordinary people's thinking, and it is a qualitative gap. This gap can no longer be described by quantity.

Liu Muyang sat by the computer and thought, as if he was not very satisfied with the algorithm he designed, others dared not say anything, just like a group of elementary school students in front of university professors.

"Well, there is still little data! Especially for valid data, most of these data are left by users at will, and it does not mean that the problem is. Let's do it, let me count the valid data again!"

Liu Muyang made another rapid operation, so fast that everyone felt dizzy. Then he saw that the data in the database had decreased a lot. The data was re-arranged, and finally the users' habits were drawn.

"Okay, because of the lack of time and insufficient data, all I can do for the time being is this. You add this algorithm to the server backend to see the users' reactions. I believe it should increase the number of clicks. You can pass the feedback data of the users through me, and I will make improvements at that time. Well, that's it!"
