"The user you dialed is currently on a call..."

The line is always busy... I can't get through the number of calls at all.

Zara Ye was a little at a loss.

She suddenly remembered that she and Skye Cheng's mobile phones were bound to shared location, so she quickly opened the app to check.

Zara Ye breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Skye Cheng's location showed the mountain view villa she bought three years ago.

The positioning of two dolls' children's bracelets are also displayed near the villa.

"Really, why didn't you say anything about moving there?" Zara Ye collapsed on the ground, with cold sweat all over his back.

They have taken their daughters to stay there before, because the small villa is equipped with the latest VR equipment, and the children like to play with this novel gadget.

But...why did Skye Cheng move out with the two children without telling him in advance? Zara Ye thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what mistake she had made to make her wife angry.

The robot "Xiabu" that was on standby slowly moved over, "Welcome home, miss."

"When did they leave?" Zara Ye raised her eyes.

"Three days ago."

"Do you know why?"

"Madam didn't say anything," the robot stated emotionlessly.

... Zara Ye couldn't get angry at the robot and could only worry about herself, "Does she have a problem with me?"

"Sorry, Xiaobu can't guess what Madam is thinking. But judging from past data, women moving with their children often means they are completely disappointed with their families. The triggers are most likely to include their partners' negligence, cheating, and domestic violence..."

Xiaobu is the first-generation home robot. The training set data of the language model is very rigid. Talking to it can easily lead to high blood pressure.

Zara Ye was so upset by its words that she went to the doctor in a hurry and posted a rescue post on a forum.

[What happened when my wife moved out with the kids again? Waiting online, it’s quite urgent]

In order to emphasize the seriousness of the matter, Zara Ye added the word "and".

Maybe it’s because of the meal. Being full with wine and food is very suitable for surfing the Internet. In just a few minutes, many netizens responded:

[The seven-year itch will pass if you endure it]

Zara Ye typed: [Married for eight years, thank you. ]

[This is the case, my suggestion is to get divorced]

Zara Ye said angrily: [If you don’t know how to suggest it, don’t suggest it]

[If the poster doesn’t reflect on it, is there something wrong with him? ]

Zara Ye's momentum gradually weakened.

Some people even suspected her of domestic violence. Miss Ye Er had never been accused of this before, and asked with tears in her eyes what to do. An enthusiastic netizen replied: "Start with small things first, such as taking over housework and learning to cook. Remember not to let your partner take care of the baby like a widower."

Ms. Ye picked up a kitchen knife while reading the post, and the robot Xiaobu beside her was spinning around anxiously.

It said cautiously: "Miss, how about I do it?"

He was blocked by Zara Ye's eyes.

The robot without advanced thinking has a grimace on its face, and its eyebrows on the screen are almost twisted.

Zara Ye said with an indifferent expression: "What are you worried about? The insurance company should be worried now."

If the insurance company knew that the pianist who bought the sky-high insurance for his hands was secretly playing with a kitchen knife, he would probably vomit blood on the spot.

In the end, Zara Ye gave up using knives and, under Xiaobu's guidance, successfully baked a bunch of dark cookies.

Zara Ye: "How is it?"

Xiaobu said against his will: "Very good."

After saying that, the home robot began to clear the table, clean the oven and mop the floor. While doing its best, it also shed a handful of bitter tears for itself.

Zara Ye put the cookies into a jar and confidently headed to the small villa she bought for her wife.

After Skye Cheng sent the location to Nellie Bai, he noticed that the two children looked at her very delicately.

"Mom, have you watched too many TV series?" Niannian asked worriedly.

Skye Cheng didn't know how to explain it to the children, and she didn't know what the children's ability to accept now was, so she had to change the subject: "Niannian, is this bracelet on your wrist something similar to a phone watch?"

It was a bit difficult for Nian Nian to understand such a long paragraph, so she looked at her sister in confusion.

Hazel Ye, Nian Nian's sister, took over the conversation: "Mom, you are really weird today."

Skye Cheng secretly thought that it was not good and that he would be wrong if he said too much. If he had known she would have just pretended to be dead.

Hazel Ye continued: "The bracelet was given to us by my aunt. My aunt also said that mom, you are one of the people in charge of developing this bracelet."

Skye Cheng said sarcastically: "I just want to test you."

After saying this, Skye Cheng figured out something was wrong. Wasn't it a "running with the ball" plot? Why are you still related to "aunt" now?

The child didn't think too much. Ye Cheng'an thought for a while, took off the bracelet and handed it to Skye Cheng, and introduced: "It can make calls, but it also has many other functions."

Skye Cheng took the bracelet and turned it on. Pengyue's logo automatically appeared on the small screen.

As for usage, this is more like a sports bracelet from ten years ago than a phone watch. It has functions of measuring heart rate, blood pressure, sleep quality and various physiological indicators, as well as functions for children such as positioning and emergency calls.

After a brief glance, Skye Cheng got a general idea. The biggest difference between this bracelet and ten years ago is that it integrates an AI-assisted diagnosis system. All physiological signals collected are used as input, and through multiple The modal algorithm generates a health detection report of the human body.

AI for Science, multi-disciplinary intersection has been a major trend ten years ago, and now it is expected that the integration will be closer.

Although Skye Cheng does not understand the current level of technological development, she knows that the biggest obstacle to AI+ medical care in the past was that deep learning, as a black box system, was not very interpretable. The parameter estimation method, including maximum likelihood estimation, which deduces the cause from the effect, is contrary to the medical treatment method of "finding the cause first and then prescribing the right medicine."

Moreover, AI is driven by data, and medical data is difficult and costly to collect. When the data set is small, the AI   model can easily produce "biased" judgments.

For example, take an image generator. After the user enters a text description, AI can automatically generate a portrait of the anime character. If you enter a description like "two-dimensional lesbian", the final output will most likely be the image of "black hair and purple eyes".

This is of course not because all "two-dimensional lesbians" have "black hair and purple eyes." It’s because the data set used to train this image generator is too small and only comes from Homura Akatsuki from “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” and Mei from “Citrus”.

The "bias" of this image generator can be easily distinguished, it is the sample difference in "aptitude" of the training set. The "bias" of medical image processing is not so easy to distinguish. No one knows what kind of "bias" a complex CT or MRI image will have after the AI   algorithm has processed it.

So AI is not "trustworthy".

How to make doctors and patients trust the decisions made by artificial intelligence is always the key to the problem. After all, medical AI is not AlphaGo. If the latter loses at chess, it will lose. If the former makes a diagnosis error, it will face great moral condemnation and legal risks.

It is unclear whether medical AI can make independent diagnoses now or whether it is still an "assistant".

"Mom, can I ask you a question?"

Skye Cheng's thoughts were interrupted by the little girl's voice.

"Okay." Skye Cheng responded and put the bracelet back on Hazel Ye's wrist.

The skin on the little girl's wrist was delicate, and there were obvious red marks where the bracelet was strangled. Skye Cheng couldn't help but relax his strength.

"Mom, why did you take us out of home?" Hazel Ye asked her mother this question three days ago.

But Skye Cheng's expression was ugly at that time and he didn't give any explanation.

In order to comfort the frightened Ruby Cheng, Hazel Ye could only tell her sister, "Mom is taking them to play on the slide."

In the past three days, Hazel Ye thought about it for a long time, but could not catch any sign of "conflict between mother and mother" in his mind.

She knew that her mother was a very logical person and could not move her and her sister without any reason. There must be something unspeakable. So she asked Skye Cheng again with a hint of hope, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.

But... the memories of the past ten years can't be found in Skye Cheng's mind now. How could she possibly remember the reason for moving three days ago.

Skye Cheng could only piece together the following points from known clues:

She now works at Pengyue, the manufacturer of the bracelet.

The current research direction should still be related to biological computing.

She has two children and there are conflicts between the "couple". The most recent "dispute" probably happened three days ago, so she moved out with her two daughters.

Skye Cheng is well aware of the harm that family conflicts can have on children, and she also knows that white lies should be used to "whitewash peace." But her acting skills are very poor, and she will definitely not be able to deceive the quirky orange kid with lies...

Faced with the daughter's question "Why did she move?"

In the end, Skye Cheng said honestly:

"I have no idea."

She followed up and said: "You must think I am strange today. But I can't explain the cause of all this. The current result is: I have lost the memory of the past ten years."

Hazel Ye's eyes widened, this matter was obviously beyond her knowledge. She pretended to be calm and said: "That means you don't remember me and Nian Nian."

Skye Cheng nodded.

Ruby Cheng didn't understand what her mother was saying.

Child Cheng Zi said sadly, "Then you don't remember Mommy either?"

Skye Cheng nodded first, then frowned: "Mommy?"

Hazel Ye sighed silently and put away her hurt heart. She now needs to support the family---her sister and mother need her.

She trotted to the sofa to find her Pad, then pulled up a video and held it up in front of Skye Cheng.

"This is Mommy."

Skye Cheng took it and it was a video of a certain concert.

The pianist in the video has a subtle temperament between a woman and a girl. She has green eyebrows and a playful and lively style of music. Liszt's "The Bell" was played by her to give it the texture of a girl tap dancing on high heels under the glass clock.

The barrage floated by:

[Friendly reminder: You can breathe normally. ]

Only then did Skye Cheng realize that he had been holding his breath for fear of "disturbing" the pianist who was immersed in the music.

Zara Ye in the video is only in his early seventeens, but he has already become perfect in technique, rhythm and emotional processing.

The young girl is wearing a black dress, and the sequins on the skirt sparkle with the rising and falling of the musical notes. When she stepped on the sustain pedal, the smooth muscle lines of her calves were looming. It not only contains the vitality of girls, but also hides unique elegance and S3xiness.

Skye Cheng knew nothing about music.

But her cluelessness is not tone deafness, but a lack of emotion.

When she was a child, like many Chinese children, her mother forced her to learn piano for a period of time.

Her piano teacher at the time commented:

"No matter how rough the waves are, they can be turned into a pool of stagnant water by your playing. Skye Cheng, please remember that you are playing the piano, not attending my funeral."

But in Skye Cheng's eyes, a piece of music was just a bunch of chaotic notes. She believes that as long as the notes are expressed in the correct order and for the correct duration, the task will be completed successfully.

She is also very indifferent to things. The piano teacher said to Skye Cheng when teaching "For Alice": "This piece was written by Beethoven for his female students. Although the overall melody is a soothing melody, there is something in the middle." Two sudden changes in emotion. You can understand that these two changes are the entanglement and uneasiness that burst out in human beings when they love others. "[1]

Skye Cheng was completely incomprehensible.

Like a precise machine, she turned the rondo form of ABACA into a 5A-level scenic spot.

While marveling at Skye Cheng's notation skills, the piano teacher complained that her playing was all about technique and no emotion: "Classmate Cheng, the sweetness and sourness of secret love are as calm as euthanasia under your excellent performance."

Skye Cheng said: "So secret love is only adding trouble."

"Secondly, teacher-student love has no good consequences."

Skye Cheng added expressionlessly.

Piano teacher: ...

It’s hard to make money, and... it’s hard to eat.

In the end, Skye Cheng relied on mechanical training all the way to level 10 in piano, which gave Ms. Cheng another topic to talk about when chatting with other parents, and she never touched the piano again.

Even after watching this video, Skye Cheng only had the following descriptive sentences in his mind: "Fast hand speed", "Excellent expression management" and "Miss Ye should have the habit of exercising".

As for what’s floating around in the barrage:

[Noisy and jumbled bullets, big and small beads falling on the jade plate]

[The vibrato is handled so clearly, it feels like it hits my heart]

Skye Cheng couldn't get it, and he couldn't empathize with her at all. If he had to describe her, he could only say that this vibrato sounded like "a timer."

After this video was played, the next one was automatically played - an interview Zara Ye participated in in the United States when she was twenty years old. The ring on the ring finger of Ms. Ye's left hand was very eye-catching.

At that time, foreign media were speculating whether Miss Ye was married to Leo, a male conductor with whom she had collaborated, or to Alice, a female pianist who had just played four hands on the same stage not long ago.

Zara Ye responded playfully: "She is a leader in another field."

She is the chief in another field.

In other words, she and her wife shine in their respective fields.

...

It's hard for Skye Cheng to describe his current mood, it's too fragmented.

She did not become a rich woman, but married a rich woman.

He even has two daughters...

The amount of information is really too much!

The child Hazel Ye on the side looked at Skye Cheng worriedly--it seemed that his mother really didn't remember Mommy, nor her nor Nian Nian. Hazel Ye told her sister a very serious fact in a sad tone:

"Every year, my mother is likely to suffer from the same disease as my grandmother."
