李世石對弈AlphaGo扳回一局

Mark one up for man over the machine. The world champion of the ancient Chinese board game of Go has finally found a way to beat Google’s AlphaGo computer, after losing three straight games last week.

這是人類戰勝機器的時刻，世界圍棋冠軍終於設法打敗了谷歌(Google)的AlphaGo計算機，上週他在這種發源於中國的古老棋類遊戲的“人機對戰”中連輸三局。

Lee Se-dol, the South Korean who has been the top Go player for a decade, was delighted at his first victory, although AlphaGo had already clinched the $1m prize in the best-of-five series. The money will be donated to charity after the final game is held on Tuesday.

10年來保持着世界排名第一的韓國棋手李世石(Lee Se-Dol)對自己的首場勝利感到高興，儘管AlphaGo已經穩拿這輪五局對弈的100萬美元獎金。在週二舉行最後一局比賽後，這筆錢將捐獻給慈善機構。

“It’s just one game. I’ve never been congratulated so much just because I won one game,” Mr Lee told reporters after the match on Sunday in Seoul.

“這只是一局比賽。我從來沒有因爲贏得一盤棋而得到這麼多祝賀，”李世石在週日賽後對記者們表示。這局比賽是在首爾舉行的。

“This win is invaluable and I would not trade it for anything else in the world,” the 33-year-old grandmaster said with a big smile. Mr Lee acknowledged he had underestimated AlphaGo’s skills, but said the software was not perfect.

“這場勝利非常寶貴，我不會拿它與世界上其它任何東西交換，”這位33歲的九段棋手滿臉笑容地表示。李世石承認，此前他低估了AlphaGo的技能，但他表示，該軟件並不完美。

Demis Hassabis, chief executive of Google Deepmind, the developer of the computer program, said the match result would provide a valuable lesson for his team to identify and address AlphaGo’s weakness.

開發AlphaGo的谷歌DeepMind的首席執行官傑米斯•哈薩比斯(Demis Hassabis)表示，這場比賽的結果將帶來寶貴收穫，讓他的團隊發現和解決AlphaGo的弱點。

“He was too good for us today and pressured AlphaGo into a mistake that it couldn’t recover from,” Mr Hassabis tweeted.

“他今天對我們太強大了，AlphaGo在壓力之下出了一個錯，之後再也無法恢復局面，”哈薩比斯在Twitter上表示。
