國產機器人明年要參加高考 目標是考上一本!

A robot is being designed to compete with 12th graders during the college entrance examination in 2017 and get a score qualifying it to enter first-class universities in China, according to Huaxi Metropolis Daily.

據華西都市報報道，由中國設計的一款機器人將與高三學生進行競爭，參加2017年的高考，並且目標是考上中國的一本院校。

The robot will sit three exams, namely math, Chinese and a comprehensive test of liberal arts, which includes history, politics and geography, said Lin Hui, CEO of an artificial intelligence company in Chengdu. The company won the bid for the artificial intelligence program on the robot's math test from the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2015.

成都一家人工智能公司的CEO林輝表示，這個機器人將參加高考的數學、語文和文科綜合（包括歷史、政治、地理）共三場考試。2015年國家科技部立項時，這家公司一舉中標了關於機器人的數學應考人工智能項目。

Like the other examinees, the robot will have to finish the exams during designated periods. Unlike the usual scene that sees 30 students sit in an exam room, the robot will take its exams in a closed room without anyone else present, except for proctors and a notary.

與其他考生一樣，這個機器人也需要在指定時間內完成考試，不過，和以往30名考生坐在一個考場裏的場景不同，高考機器人將在一個封閉的房間單獨進行考試，只有監考人和公證人員在場。

According to Lin, the robot will be linked to a printer before every exam, and the electronic examination paper will be put into the robot's program when the examination begins. The robot will be totally disconnected from the internet and will solve the problems with its artificial intelligence program. Finally the answers will be outputted through the printer.

林輝透露，每門考試開始前，高考機器人將與打印機連接。開考鈴聲一響，考卷的電子版就會被輸入到機器人的人工智能程序。此時的機器人完全與外網切斷聯繫，僅通過自身的人工智能程序進行答題。答完題的考卷再通過打印機輸出。

It's believed that Chinese and a comprehensive test of liberal arts, rather than maths, will pose challenges to the robot, since questions in maths are objective with specific answers, while in the other test subjects, there are some subjective questions, such as the reading comprehension and essay-writing.

有人認爲，相比起數學來說，語文和文科綜合可能會對機器人有一定的挑戰。因爲數學都是有具體答案的客觀題，而其他的學科，更多的是像閱讀理解和寫作這樣的主觀題。

Lin said that the robot writing technique nowadays has been increasingly mature. With key information words, a robot can write an economic news report following the widely-accepted writing mode in Silicon Valley, while nobody could tell it was written by a robot, Lin said.

林輝對此表示，其實現在機器人的寫作技術都日漸成熟。他說，在硅谷有一個機器人，只要給出信息關鍵詞，它就能按照經典的經濟新聞模式整合報道。並且沒人會覺得這篇報道是出自機器人之手。

From this point of view, the robot can analyze the topic of the writing session and complete writing. Though the essay may turn out to be an emotionless piece, that slightly affects the grade.

就此而論，機器人讀題後會分析寫作部分的關鍵詞，再完成寫作。雖然最終可能會在文章情感上有所欠缺，但這隻會稍微影響一下成績。

The robot is reportedly trying to qualify for admission to Peking University and Tsinghua University in 2020, and its counterpart in Japan is eyeing Tokyo University in 2020.

據報道，高考機器人的目標是在2020年考上北大、清華，而日本也提出在2020年，同類型的機器人的目標是考上東京大學。
