終極人機大戰 天才少年柯潔下月迎戰'阿爾法狗'

It's just over a year since Google's DeepMind unit stunned the world when its AlphaGo AI beat Go legend Lee Se-dol 4-1 in a five-game match; the result demonstrated mastery of a feat that had eluded computer scientists for decades and sparked a flood of new interest in the field of artificial intelligence.

一年之前，谷歌旗下DeepMind團隊研發的“阿爾法狗”出人意料地以4比1的比分擊敗了韓國圍棋冠軍李世石，這一結果證明計算機科學家們掌解決了幾十年來所面臨的難題，也引起了人們對人工智能領域的興趣與關注。

But there was one possible "gotcha" that Go devotees could hold onto: Lee Se-dol was once, but is no longer, quite considered the greatest player on the planet.

但是圍棋愛好者仍在堅持的一種可能性是：李世石曾經是，但現在已經不是世界上最厲害的圍棋選手了。

That distinction is now considered to belong to Ke Jie, a 19-year-old Chinese player ranked number 1 worldwide.

目前，世界排名第一這一榮譽屬於19歲的中國棋手柯潔。

A professional since the age of ten, Ke has beaten Lee several times in high-profile matches in recent years, including three finals victories in the three months leading up to Lee's AlphaGo match.

柯潔從10歲開始就成爲了一名職業圍棋選手。在近幾年的知名比賽中，柯潔曾先後多次打敗李世石。在李世石與“阿爾法狗”大賽前三個月中，柯潔曾在三次總決賽中戰勝李世石。

And next month, Ke will get his own showdown with DeepMind's AI.

下個月，柯潔將與DeepMind團隊的人工智能一教高下。

At the Future of Go Summit in Wuzhen, China, Ke will face off against AlphaGo in a three-game match.

在即將舉辦的“中國烏鎮·圍棋峯會”中，柯潔將與“阿爾法狗”展開三番對決。

Another game will see five of China's top pros attempt to team up to take down AlphaGo, while another will see a pro-vs-pro match where each player alternates turns with an AlphaGo teammate.

在團隊賽中，五位中國頂尖職業棋手將試圖組隊以對抗人工智能；而在另一組比賽中，棋手將分別與“阿爾法狗”組隊合作比賽。

After its comprehensive victory over Lee, AlphaGo will be the favorite for the match with Ke, who recently lost a few unofficial online games against the AI.

在大勝李世石之後，“阿爾法狗”和柯潔成爲最爲熱門的對手。最近，柯潔曾在幾場非官方的網上遊戲中敗給了“阿爾法狗”。

But whatever happens, the wider variety of game formats this time will give some fascinating insights into how the AI performs in different situations. How will it react to taking on multiple play styles at once? And what will humans be able to learn about their own capabilities?

但無論怎樣，本次比賽多樣化的形式能使人們從更多的角度認識人工智能。“阿爾法狗”會如何應對多種風格的比賽？人類又能從中學到什麼？

The Future of Go Summit is a collaboration between Google, the China Go Association, and the Chinese government, and will also include a forum on the future of artificial intelligence that we can likely expect Google to use as an opportunity to check in on the technology's progress.

“中國烏鎮·圍棋峯會”由谷歌公司、中國圍棋協會和中國政府三方聯合舉辦，屆時還將舉辦討論人工智能未來發展的論壇。谷歌公司將有望利用這次機會介紹人工智能所取得的進展。

It'll take place between May 23rd and May 27th.

此次峯會將於5月23日至5月27日之間舉行。
