驕傲! 中國人工智能程序已經看懂《泰坦尼克號》!

One of China's top tech companies is trying to push the frontiers of artificial intelligence by teaching computers to understand scenes from the 1990's romance-disaster epic Titanic.

中國一家頂尖的科技公司正在試圖通過“教”電腦看懂上世紀90年代的經典愛情災難片《泰坦尼克號》，來推動人工智能的發展。

The technology, from China company SenseTime, is supposed to distinguish Titanic'sromantic scenes from disaster scenes.

這家名叫商湯科技的中國公司，希望其人工智能技術能夠區分電影中的戀愛場景與災難場景。

Although most humans would have no problem distinguishing Jack and Rose's blooming love from the Titantic's sinking, the feat is highly complex for computers.

雖然大多數人都知道這部電影講的是傑克和羅絲在泰坦尼克號沉船上的熱戀，但這對計算機來說卻是極其複雜的。

In a demonstration at MIT Technology Review's EmTech Digital conference in San Francisco, the technology performed well and was able to classify the scenes correctly.

在舊金山舉辦的《麻省理工科技評論》EmTech數字峯會上，這項技術的表現相當搶眼，正確地分辨出了各種場景。

It highlights the advancement of artificial intelligence, but also how far it still has to go before becoming able to understand more complex movie scenes outside of public demonstrations.

這充分說明了人工智能技術的進步，不過要想理解其他更復雜的電影情節，目前還有很長的路要走。

Dahua Lin, the director of a joint research lab between SenseTime and the Chinese University of Hong Kong where he's also an assistant professor, played a video of the scene from Titanic in which Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) gently holds Rose (Kate Winslet) as she leans over the bow of the doomed passenger ship like she's flying.

會上，商湯科技與香港中文大學聯合實驗室主任林達華（他也是香港中文大學的副教授）播放了電影《泰坦尼克號》中傑克（萊昂納多·迪卡普里奧飾）輕輕地從身後抱住羅絲（凱特·溫斯萊特飾）、二人在船頭擺出了經典的“我心飛翔”造型的片段。

Beneath the video was a small chart indicating whether the company's computers thought the scene was romantic or action-packed.

視頻下方有一張小圖表，顯示該公司的電腦認爲這個場景是浪漫的還是刺激的。

After crunching data, presumably taken from thousands of videos and image stills in video clips, the computer determined that the scene was more "romantic" than a "disaster."

電腦中的人工智能程序想來已經接受了數千個視頻和圖像的“訓練”，它在分析了影片的數據後，認爲這個場景是“浪漫”而非“災難”。

Then later, when Lin briefly showed the clip of the Titanic sinking, the computers quickly identified the scene as more of a "disaster" than "romantic."

之後林達華又播放了泰坦尼克號沉沒的片段，電腦很快確定這個場景是“災難”而非“浪漫”。

Lin didn't explain how SenseTime taught its computers to distinguish the context of movie scenes, but instead explained more broadly the company's work developing AI technologies that can do things like recognize human facial expressions.

林達華並沒有解釋商湯科技是怎樣教會計算機分辨電影場景的語境的，他只是大而化之地談了談公司人工智能技術的進展，並表示他們的技術可以用於識別人類面部表情等領域。
