文章导读 本文选自《经济学人》2019年6月22日文章。波兰一所实验室正在建造一颗模仿人类大脑、由神经网络控制的人工智能卫星。该卫星可以在太空信息传回地球之前，对信息进行处理，使得传回的信息图片真正对人类有用。该卫星可以观测地球庄稼的长势、甚至是森林树木的数量。这颗卫星将会用来证明，经过强化的神经网络可以在太空中生存。 由于篇幅较长，本文节选原文标题和全文重点段落进行精讲， 选文精讲 In high detail 更清晰（的太空图像） Using AI to speed up the processing of space images 利用人工智能加速空间图像的处理 Where no neural network has gone before 神经网络未曾触及的地方 Jun 15th 2019 MUCH OF THE information that is beamed back from space is useless. Pictures taken by satellites orbiting the Earth might take days to download, only to show lots of cloud obscuring the area of interest. The subject matter may also be surrounded by irrelevant information. All this uses up a lot of valuable bandwidth. 从太空传回来的许多信息是无用的。环绕地球运行的卫星拍摄的照片可能需要几天的时间才能下载下来，但我们感兴趣的区域往往被大量的云朵遮蔽，我们关心的事物也可能被无关的信息所包围。所有这些都消耗了大量宝贵的带宽。 Processing data in space, before transmission, would reduce clutter, but this can be tricky. Cosmic rays randomly flip the ones and zeroes that computers operate on, introducing unpredictable errors. High levels of radiation can also damage electronic circuits. KP Labs, based in Gliwice, Poland, is building a satellite to overcome some of these problems. Their device, called Intuition-1, is controlled by a neural network, a form of artificial intelligence modelled on the human brain. The satellite is what is known in the trade as a 6U CubeSat, which means it is composed of six standard-sized 10x10x11.5cm modules. 在传输之前，在太空中处理数据可以减少杂波，但这可能很困难。宇宙射线随意干扰计算机操作的1和0，带来不可预测的错误。高能级的辐射也会损坏电子线路。位于波兰格里维斯的KP实验室正在建造一颗卫星来解决这些问题。他们的设备名为“直觉-1”，由神经网络控制，这是一种模仿人类大脑的人工智能，这颗卫星被业内称为6U立方体卫星，这意味着它由6个标准尺寸的10x10x11.5cm模块组成。 |
