富士通AI計分系統
Nancy and Ted are talking about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
楠西跟泰德在討論2020東京奧運。
Ted: Hey, I heard that artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will play an important role in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games.
泰德:嘿,我聽說AI人工智慧還有機器人學會在2020東京奧運中扮演重要的角色。
AI=artificial intelligence人工智慧robotics(n.)機器人學play an important role扮演重要角色、有重要功能
Nancy: I know. Japan’s Fujitsu has developed a scoring support system powered by artificial intelligence.
楠西:我知道,日本的富士通發展出一個AI計分系統。
develop(v.)發展score(v.)得分support(n.)幫助system(n.)系統power(v.)提供動力AI=artificial intelligence人工智慧
Ted: Yes, and they want to apply the system to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games to help score the gymnastics events.
泰德:沒錯,他們要將這樣的計分系統應用到2020東京奧運,幫體操項目計分。
apply(v.)應用system(n.)系統score(v.)給分gymnastics(n.)體操event(n.)(比賽)項目
Nancy: Right. The system is able to capture a gymnast’s movement and convert it into 3D images in real time.
楠西:對,這個系統能夠捕捉到體操選手的動作,即時轉換成3D影像。
system(n.)系統be able to能夠capture(v.)捕捉gymnast(n.)體操選手movement(n.)動作convert(v.)轉變in real time即時
Ted: This means that the judges can refer to the 3D images when determining the score. Sometimes it’s difficult for judges to register a gymnast’s every single movement with the naked eye, since they perform quickly with lots of complex tricks.
泰德:這代表評審在給分時可以參考3D畫面,有時候要用肉眼判定體操選手的動作實在很難,因為他們的體操技巧複雜又快。
judge(n.)評審refer to參考determine(v.)決定score(n.)分數register(v.)記錄、注意gymnast(n.)體操選手single(adj.)單一的movement(n.)動作the naked eye肉眼perform(v.)表演、表現complex(adj.)複雜的trick(n.)技巧
Nancy: The AI also analyzes the moves using data collected from past performances. And it judges the level of perfection of every trick performed.
楠西:這個AI系統還可以根據之前比賽的數據分析動作,判定選手體操技巧優劣。
analyze(v.)分析data(n.)數據collect(v.)收集performance(n.)表現judge(v.)判斷perfection(n.)完美trick(n.)技巧perform(v.)表現
Ted: Despite all this, the final score will still be given out by “human” judges.
泰德:儘管如此,最後的成績還是會由「真人」評審來給。
despite(prep.)儘管final(adj.)最後的score(n.)得分
Nancy: That’s for sure. But we can still expect the game to become more fair.
楠西:當然囉,但我們還是可以期待比賽變得更公平。
expect(v.)期待fair(adj.)公平的
