Today is November 23, 2021. 17 years ago today, the first online game "World of Warcraft" produced by the famous game company Blizzard Entertainment was released; as of January 2014, all The total number of "World of Warcraft" accounts created in the world has exceeded 100 million, and people in 244 countries and regions are playing this game, including Antarctica, Bahamas , Christmas Island, etc. What key events occurred on November 23 in the history of science and technology?
November 23, 1923: Peter Elias, a pioneer in the field of coding theory, was born
Peter Elias was born on November 23, 1923, and was a pioneer in the field of information theory . From 1953 to 1991, he served on the MIT faculty; in 1955, Elias introduced convolutional codes as an alternative to block codes. He also established the binary erasure channel and proposed list decoding of error-correcting code as an alternative to unique decoding. Elias died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease on December 7, 2001 at the age of 78.

Elias was born on November 23, 1923 in New Brunswick, New Jersey . After earning a degree in chemical engineering from Columbia University, he went to work for Thomas Edison in the laboratory in New Jersey; in 1977, Elias won the Claude E. Shannon Award of the IEEE Information Theory Society; in 2002, he won the IEEE The Richard W. Hamming Medal.
In coding theory, list decoding is an alternative to unique decoding of error-correcting codes. This concept was proposed by Peter Elias in the 1950s. The main idea behind list decoding is that instead of outputting a single possible message, the decoding algorithm outputs a list of possibilities, one of which is correct, allowing the handling of more errors than unique decoding allows.

November 23, 1944: Abhay Bhushan, the author of FTP, was born
Abhay K. Bhushan was born on November 23, 1944. He was an Indian computer scientist. Bhushan was a major contributor to the development of the Internet's TCP/IP architecture and the author of an early version of the File Transfer Protocol and , the email protocol. He is currently Chairman of Plaza Corporation, Secretary of Collective Action India, and former Chairman of IIT Kanpur Foundation.

Bhushan was one of the first batch (class of 1960) graduates of the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and received a Bachelor of Science degree. He subsequently attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), earning a master's degree in electrical engineering and a management degree from the MIT Sloan School of Management. At MIT, he drafted the now famous RFC 114 and worked on developing FTP and email protocols for , ARPANET, , and later the Internet; he began working on the protocol while a student at IIT Kanpur .
In 1978, he served as director of the Institute of Engineering and Rural Technology in Allahabad, India, and as a senior manager of engineering and development at Xerox, becoming founder and manager of Xerox Environmental Leadership. He was also a co-founder of YieldUP International (listed on NASDAQ in 1995) and Portola Communications (acquired by Netscape in 1997).

November 23, 1995: Richard Wallace created Alicebot
A.L.I.C.E. The full English name is Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity, meaning artificial language Internet computer entity, also known as Alice robot, or Alice for short. is a natural language processing chatbot - a program that engages in conversation with humans by applying some heuristic pattern matching rules to human input.
It is inspired by Joseph Weizenbaum's classic ELIZA project. It is one of the most powerful projects of its kind and has won the Loebner Prize three times, which is awarded to those who have accomplished humanoid, talking robots. The three awards were awarded in 2000, 2001 and 2004 respectively. The program fails the Turing test because even ordinary users often discover its mechanics and patterns in brief conversations.

The Alice program was originally created by Richard Wallace on November 23, 1995, and was rewritten with Java starting in 1998. The current version of the Java implementation is Program d; this program uses an XML schema called AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language) to specify heuristic dialogue rules. The Alice code has long been open source, and the project has received contributions from more than 500 developers from around the world; her AIML source code is available from the ALICE A.I. Foundation's Google code and Richard Wallace's GitHub account , these AIML files can be run using an AIML interpreter like Program O or Program AB.
Spike Jonze (Spike Jonze)'s Oscar-winning film "Her" was inspired by Alice, which tells the story of a human who falls in love with a chatbot. In an article in The New Yorker titled "Will Humans Fall in Love with Robots?" ” article, Jones said that the idea originated from a program called Alicebot that he used about ten years ago, and he and she could have friendly conversations.

November 23, 2015: World Robot Conference was held in Beijing
Source: CSDN Downloaded from Oriental IC
On November 23, 2015, the World Robot Conference was held in Beijing. This is the first time that China has held a conference on robots. International conference; the intelligent industry represented by robotics technology is booming and has become an important symbol of modern scientific and technological innovation. China has included robots and intelligent manufacturing into priority areas of national scientific and technological innovation. Currently, China has become the world's largest industrial robot market for two consecutive years; in 2014, before the conference, China's industrial robot ownership accounted for four quarters of the world's total. one part.
Nowadays, we are familiar with some robots that appear frequently in the news, but it is likely that they began to be reported by the media after their debut at this conference in 2015. For example, the emotional robot Genminoid F created by Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro, a Japanese robotics expert, is a beauty robot whose skin is made of silicone and is made in life-size proportions; or the "Baymax" in Disney's "Super Marines" , the movie was released in 2015, and can be seen in various robot conferences around the world; or those football robots that are now common... 2015 is very important for robots In the past year, there have been very important progress and leaps in both the types of robots and the robot's control algorithm . What we are now familiar with may have started from this year.
