25、authorities.Researchers at Georgia Tech have been working to improve a musical robot called Shimon. Shimon is a four-armed robot with a ball-like head. He holds small mallets (tools like hammers) in his “hands” to play a kind of xylophone (木琴). As Shimon plays, his head moves around in time to the m
26、usic.Shimon has been around for quite a while as a musical robot. Even back in 2015, he played with other musicians at the Kennedy Center in New York. What Shimon could do back then was already pretty cool.Shimon was taught to write his own music by using “deep learning”. Deep learning, also known a
27、s Artificial Intelligence (AI), means that computer programs sort deeply through huge amounts of information. This allows them to find patterns humans may not have noticed. The programs can then use those patterns in new and surprising ways. For Shimon, that meant he could not only make up his own m
28、usic, but also do it in real time while playing with other musicians. This is called “improvising”.Now Shimon is back with a whole bunch of new tricks. He can write the words to his own songs, and sing them. Shimon learned to write the words for the songs in the same way he learned to write music.Pr
29、ofessor Gil Weinberg in Georgia Tech, who leads the Shimon project, gets Shimon going with a starting idea. Shimon then writes the lyrics based around that idea.To give Shimon a voice, the Georgia Tech team worked with experts at Pompeu Fabra University in Spain. The voice was created by AI and soun
30、ds like a man very much. Shimons face has also gotten new features. Shimons mouth now moves smoothly in time as he sings. He also has eyebrows, which allow his face to show more emotions. For Mr. Weinberg, thats the main goal behind the Shimon project not to have robots take over, but to have robots

35、ogs behavior, a team dramatically improved a robots skills and did it quickly enough to make training robots for real-world work a more workable enterprise. The findings are newly published in a paper called, Good Robot!Unlike humans and animals that are born with highly intuitive (有直觉力的) brains, ro
36、bots are blank slates (写字板) and must learn everything from scratch. But true learning is often accomplished by trial and error, and roboticists are still figuring out how robots can learn efficiently from their mistakes.With an effort the team accomplished that by designing a reward system that work
37、s for a robot in the way treats work for a dog. Where a dog might get a cookie for a job well done, the robot got an incentive too.Andrew Hundt, lead author of the study, recalled how he once taught his puppy named Leah the command “Leave it, so she could ignore squirrels on walks. He used two types
38、 of treats, ordinary trainer treats and something even better, like cheese. When Leah was excited and sniffing around the treats, she got nothing. But when she calmed down and looked away, she got the good stuff. Thats when I gave her the cheese and said, Leave it! Good Leah! He later decided to try
39、 that method on robots.Similarly, to stack (码放整齐) blocks, Spot, the robot, needed to learn how to focus on constructive actions. As the robot explored the blocks, it quickly learned that correct behaviors for stacking earned high points, but incorrect ones earned nothing. Reach out but dont grasp a
40、block? No points. Knock over a stack? Definitely no points. Spot earned the most by placing the last block on top of a four-block stack.“The robot wants the higher score,Hundt said. It quickly learns the right behavior to get the best reward. In fact, it used to take a month of practice for the robo
41、t to achieve 100% accuracy. We were able to do it in two days.”46What did the team want to achieve by creating the new approach?ATo figure out robots way of learning.BTo develop a robot able to learn by itself.CTo help improve robots learning efficiency.DTo reduce the error rate of robots performing

Similarly, its also urgent that colleges create their own version of triple-threat graduates at a time when higher education is more needed than ever, though its value is being more questioned.So whats a tri
