  • AI背後的十個數學概念

    by 梁承裕 ...
    Series Book 1 - AI 時代,我們重新問一次
    一部只會處理數字的機器,為甚麼能寫出關於香港雨夜的詩?答案不是一句「它看過很多文字」,也不是把 AI 說成一個藏在電腦裏的人。文字要先變成可計算的表示,意思要有可比較的距離,脈絡要能在高維空間互相影響,模型才有可能從一句提示走到下一個詞元。《AI 背後的十個數學概念》從十道具體問題出發,帶讀者走過向量、距離、維度、矩陣、機率、統計、微積分、最佳化、神經網絡和生成模型。每個概念都在需要它的時候才出場:矩陣怎樣同時改寫大量數字?導數怎樣指出參數應往哪邊走?損失函數又如何決定哪一種錯誤更昂貴?本書不要求讀者先修畢大學數學,也不靠「AI 像人腦」一類比喻蒙混過關。主文用日常語言建立直覺,「一分鐘數學實驗」讓抽象機制落到紙筆上;想走深一步的讀者,則可在「教授黑板」看見精確公式。公式可以略過,推理鏈仍然完整。讀到最後,你未必能拆開某一個商業模型的全部秘密,卻會懂得追問它如何表示文字、怎樣量度相似 ...

  • 把世界變成訊號

    by 梁承裕 ...
    Series Book 5 - 數學其實一直都在
    手機沒有真正「聽見」你的聲音,相機也沒有看見一個完整世界。麥克風在一連串時刻量度空氣振動,感光元件把光轉成像素;連續的聲音和影像,先被切成數字,才可以儲存、傳送和處理。《把世界變成訊號》追問的,是這個轉換究竟保留了甚麼,又悄悄丟掉了甚麼。本書由取樣開始:一秒應該量多少次?量得太慢,快速變化可能偽裝成另一個較慢的訊號;像素增加,也不保證照片一定更清楚。讀者會看見同一首歌在時間和頻率中呈現兩種面貌,亦會明白轉換座標後,原本複雜的資料有時只剩少數重要成分。壓縮正是利用這種結構,但「丟掉九成資料仍看得出來」並不表示被丟掉的部分毫無意義;保留甚麼,取決於用途、誤差尺度和人真正想分辨的細節。後半部走進稀疏表示、少量量測、去噪、去模糊和影像辨識。雜訊能否真的消失?一張變清楚的照片是否等於看見更多真相?電腦如何由像素分出物件與邊界?書中既解釋方法為甚麼有效,也守住證據邊界:重建會結合資料、模型和偏好 ...
