Chapter 244: Guardian Deities and Machine Learning
It really seems that way! Allen felt his train of thought was correct.
Then what is something he loves but cannot obtain? Allen fell into deep thought.
After transmigrating, everything had gone quite smoothly for him; there was nothing capable of stirring his emotions. Moreover, as someone who had lived for two or thirty years and maintained a rather Buddhist detachment, he felt that very few things could stir his emotions.
Harry's success also reminded Allen that it wasn't just happy memories that could stir emotions; a suitable idea or imagination could also fully mobilize one's feelings.
Allen continued to ponder; he seemed to have vaguely grasped something, his train of thought opened up, and he suddenly thought of a way to stir his own emotions.
He recalled some fan fiction novels he had read in his previous life; what was the most delightful aspect of fan fiction?
First, one particularly loves that world and hopes to continue seeing stories unfold within it.
Second, fan fiction novels generally make up for the regrets found in the original work.
Allen felt he could use this line of thinking to imagine something that would excite him.
His greatest regret was suddenly leaving Earth; although he was quite happy in this world, this regret still surged into his heart from time to time.
Allen quickly came up with an idea.
He closed his eyes and began to cultivate his emotions; nearby, Harry and Professor Lupin noticed Allen's actions and simultaneously lightened their movements.
Allen immersed himself in his imagination, envisioning himself becoming the White Demon King, returning to Earth with unparalleled power, and making up for his various regrets there.
Yes, Allen was using daydreaming to stir his emotions; as the saying goes, "Masterbation harms the body, daydreaming strengthens the nation," yet this trick proved unexpectedly effective at this moment.
He soon felt his emotions being stirred; he felt his brain becoming excited.
"Expecto Patronum!" he chanted the spell loudly.
A silvery-white light shot from the tip of his wand; the silvery mist, unlike before, did not shrink into a clump but quickly formed into a peculiar creature.
Its body shape resembled a transparent umbrella, with long, tentacle-like feelers growing along the edges of the umbrella-shaped body; it drifted in mid-air, looking extremely beautiful.
"A jellyfish?" Professor Lupin said in surprise. "But congratulations nonetheless! Excellent! Truly remarkable," he continued.
Harry was also genuinely happy for Allen, even though Allen's Patronus was a bit strange. "I thought your Patronus would be a panda; I even wanted to see how a silvery-white Patronus would display a panda's black eye patches..." Harry murmured softly.
Allen couldn't help but be amused by Harry's wild imagination.
"Yes! You are an Animagus, and an Animagus's Patronus is the same as their Animagus form," Professor Lupin said in surprise. "I once read a book that introduced this content."
Allen also became somewhat puzzled; why was his Patronus a jellyfish? Although it was beautiful, it felt very strange.
"Nevertheless, congratulations to you both! Summoning your full-form Patronus at the age of thirteen is a great feat; everyone will be proud of you," Professor Lupin said gently.
Harry and Allen returned to their dormitory happily; Harry excitedly announced his achievement today, eliciting a series of gasps from Ron.
They celebrated over this until quite late before each going to bed.
Allen lay on his bed; in the darkness, his ears suddenly transformed into the ears of some animal, twitching gently as they listened to the movements within the dormitory.
He soon heard the loud snores of Ron and Neville, and the rhythmic breathing of Harry and Thomas; his roommates were all asleep.
Allen suddenly opened his eyes; the next moment, he transformed into a butterfly and silently flew out through the open window.
However, the flight speed of a butterfly was still too slow; the next moment, he transformed into a bat in mid-air.
Using the cover of night, he quickly flew to the second floor of the castle and skillfully entered the passage leading to the Chamber of Secrets beneath the abandoned girls' lavatory.
He wanted to hurry and research the matter of magical intelligence.
This time, after a brief cultivation of emotion, his feelings were stirred, and a jellyfish Patronus soon appeared, illuminating the dim underground tunnel.
Allen began to research the Patronus.
What is intelligence?
Intelligence is generally manifested in four aspects:
First, possessing perceptual ability, that is, having the capacity to perceive the external world and acquire external information; this is the prerequisite and necessary condition for generating intelligent activity;
Second, possessing memory and thinking abilities, that is, being able to store perceived external information and knowledge generated by thinking, while simultaneously being able to utilize existing knowledge to analyze, calculate, compare, judge, associate, and make decisions regarding information;
Third, possessing learning and self-adaptive abilities, that is, through interaction with the environment, continuously learning and accumulating knowledge to enable oneself to adapt to environmental changes;
Fourth, possessing behavioral decision-making ability, that is, responding to external stimuli, forming decisions, and conveying corresponding information.
After some research and testing, Allen's final conclusion was that the Patronus possessed weak intelligence; it had excellent perceptual ability, but the other three aspects were relatively weak.
This level of intelligence was simply unusable!
Allen then recalled that car in the Forbidden Forest; judging from that car's performance, its intelligence was already as high as that of a five or six-year-old child.
Its perception and behavioral decision-making abilities were excellent; the fact that it always remembered Mr. Weasley indicated its memory and thinking abilities were also good, and the fact that it wandered in the Forbidden Forest for so long yet became increasingly thriving indicated its learning and self-adaptive abilities were also good.
Thinking about that car in the Forbidden Forest, Allen momentarily felt as though he were looking at someone else's child.
Why was that car's intelligence so high?
Allen then recalled what Mr. Weasley had said at the time: that when he created the magical car's intelligence, he had used the Patronus Charm and some memory magic.
Memory magic might be the key to solving the problem.
But there were many types of memory magic, and Mr. Weasley hadn't specified which memory magic he used!
Allen looked up at the jellyfish Patronus floating in the sky; he suddenly thought of artificial intelligence from his previous life, and as a programmer, he had some simple exposure to this field.
The core of artificial intelligence is machine learning; machine learning is allowing computers to simulate or realize human learning behavior to acquire new knowledge or skills, reorganizing existing knowledge structures to continuously improve their own performance.
Thinking of this, Allen gained some understanding; the current jellyfish Patronus was merely a weak intelligence, and it needed to become more intelligent through continuous learning.
Allen suddenly understood which type of memory magic should be used.
