Onjiniyela kwesinye isikhathi baphendukela emvelweni ukuze bathole ugqozi. USolwazi Saket Navlakha kanye nososayensi wocwaningo u-Jonathan Suen bathola ukuthi ukulungisa ama-algorithms—inqubo efanayo yokulawula impendulo lapho i-inthanethi ithuthukisa ukugcwala kwedatha—isetshenziswa amasistimu emvelo amaningana ukuze ezwe futhi azinzise ukuziphatha, okuhlanganisa izintuthwane, amaseli kanye izinzwa.
Onjiniyela be-inthanethi bahambisa idatha emhlabeni wonke ngamaphakethe amancane, afana nezintuthwane. Njengoba uNavlakha echaza:
“Inhloso yalo msebenzi bekuwukuhlanganisa imibono evela ekufundeni ngomshini nokwakheka kwe-inthanethi futhi ihlobanise nendlela izintuthwane ezidla ngayo.”
I-algorithm efanayo esetshenziswa onjiniyela be-inthanethi isetshenziswa izintuthwane lapho zifuna ukudla. Ekuqaleni, ikoloni ingase ikhiphe intuthwane eyodwa. Lapho intuthwane ibuya, inikeza ukwaziswa ngokuthi kungakanani ukudla eyakuthola nokuthi kwathatha isikhathi esingakanani ukukuthola. Ikoloni lalibe selikhipha izintuthwane ezimbili. Uma bebuya nokudla, ikoloni ingase ithumele ezintathu, ezine, ezinhlanu, njalo njalo. Kodwa uma izintuthwane eziyishumi zithunyelwa futhi eziningi zingabuyi, khona-ke ikoloni alinciphisi inani elithumelayo libe yisishiyagalolunye. Kunalokho, isika inombolo ngenani elikhulu, ukuphindaphinda (yisho uhhafu) walokho ebikuthumele ngaphambili: izintuthwane ezinhlanu kuphela. Ngamanye amazwi, inani lezintuthwane liyakhula kancane kancane lapho izimpawu zivuma, kodwa liyancipha kakhulu lapho ulwazi lunegethivu. U-Navlakha no-Suen bayaqaphela ukuthi uhlelo lusebenza ngisho noma izintuthwane ngazinye zilahleka futhi zihambisane nohlobo oluthile "lwe-algorithm yokwandisa-okungezayo/ephindaphindayo" esetshenziswa ku-inthanethi.
USuen ucabanga ukuthi izintuthwane zingase zikhuthaze izindlela ezintsha zokuvikela amasistimu ekhompyutha kubaduni noma ekuhlaselweni kwe-inthanethi. Onjiniyela bangalingisa ukuthi imvelo imelana kanjani nenqwaba yezinsongo empilweni nasekusebenzeni kwayo. U-Suen uyachaza:
“Imvelo ikhonjiswe ukuthi iqine ngendlela emangalisayo ezicini eziningi eziphendula ukushintsha kwezindawo. Ku-cybersecurity [noma kunjalo] sithola ukuthi amasistimu ethu amaningi angaphazanyiswa, angaphuka kalula, futhi awaqinile. Sifuna ukubheka imvelo, esinda kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezinhlekelele zemvelo.”
Nakuba u-Suen ehlela ukusebenzisa ama-algorithms emvelo ezinhlelweni zobunjiniyela, i-Navlakha ingathanda ukubona ukuthi izixazululo zobunjiniyela zinganikeza yini ezinye izindlela zokuqonda ukulawulwa kofuzo nokulawula impendulo yokuzivikela komzimba. U-Navlakha uthemba ukuthi "amasu aphumelelayo endaweni eyodwa angaholela ekuthuthukisweni komunye."
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- When the ant returns, it provides information about how much food it got and how long it took to get it.
- In other words, the number of ants slowly adds up when the signals are positive, but is cut dramatically lower when the information is negative.
- Instead, it cuts the number by a large amount, a multiple (say half) of what it sent before.
