The official magazine of the International Computer Association, Journal-of-the-ACM, has released a new issue, with "Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering" filling a total of nineteen pages.
"Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering" is a much-anticipated algorithm paper.
Many academics in the computer field are eager to know the core algorithm of the Rubik’s Cube calculator, as the algorithm indirectly solves the world’s algorithmic problems.
Their interest in the algorithm will naturally lead them to pay attention to the paper.
Zhao Yi has been interviewed about the paper. He just submitted the paper in mid-October, and everyone unconsciously felt that they would have to wait for the paper to be published until at least January of next year.
This is a normal pace.
The average review time for Journal-of-the-ACM is three months. Some prominent figures in the computer industry who want to publish papers in Journal-of-the-ACM also need about a month, including the review time and subsequent "waiting in line" for publication.
Publication of papers also requires waiting in line.
It’s certain that "Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering" has cut in line to be published so quickly.
Additionally, the length is also an issue.
Computer algorithm papers published in Journal-of-the-ACM are mostly between ten and fifteen pages, and some are even just a few pages. "Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering" fills in nineteen pages, proving the magazine’s importance.
Romande, 58 years old.
Editor-in-chief of Journal-of-the-ACM and the most famous professor in computer science at Stanford University.
Romande is very famous in the world of computer science.
As the saying goes, without Stanford, there would be no Silicon Valley. Stanford University is the talent base of Silicon Valley, and Professor Romande is the most famous professor in the computer field of Stanford University. He is a top expert in data mining and graphics.
Such a top computer expert, naturally his words carry significant influence.
When the new issue of Journal-of-the-ACM came out, Romande immediately accepted an interview on its contents, emphasizing the "cutting ahead" of "Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering."
"Professor Kamani from Oxford University, who is also a reviewer for Journal-of-the-ACM, recommended this algorithm paper to me."
"I heard before that the third-order Rubik’s Cube algorithm was simplified and cracked. Honestly, I even bought a Rubik’s Cube calculator twice because I have two computers that I frequently use."
"I studied the Rubik’s Cube calculator and found that its results were correct. It’s amazing."
"From now on, everyone won’t have to worry about not being able to restore the third-order Rubik’s Cube."
"However, for those who are professionally engaged in computer research, they are more concerned with the core algorithm inside. That is the algorithm to solve the world’s problems. It must be very novel and interesting. In fact, it is."
"Soon after Professor Kamani sent the paper, I read it seriously and it attracted me almost immediately.
Professor Romande gave a serious comment, "From the general introduction, there are many eye-catching things. My feeling is like cleaning the house often and occasionally finding out that there are places that have never been cleaned in the bedroom."
"That’s a dead angle!"
"I never thought or perhaps never paid attention to this algorithm, which was applied and generated a whole set of algorithms and proofs."
"My evaluation of it is very novel, outstanding, efficient, and practical. I believe that in the future, ’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’ will definitely be used in many fields. Whether it’s data mining, artificial intelligence, or even graphics, they all need such an error-eliminating algorithm."
"I really appreciate it. That’s why I decided to publish it ahead of schedule... "
"It’s hard to imagine that such a brilliant algorithm paper would be linked to an eighteen-year-old high school student... "
"He’s a genius, without a doubt... "
Romande exclaimed a few times, and finally admitted honestly, "To be honest, I can only be sure of the correctness of the result, but I haven’t fully understood it. Perhaps it’s due to the length. The proof process in the paper has some skips, which require a long time to think and prove."
"I really hope he can come to Stanford University, so I can communicate with him face to face. I also want to invite him to give lectures at the university."
"He’s still a high school student?"
"Stanford University welcomes such geniuses!"
The content of Romande’s interview immediately made both Zhao Yi and his paper popular. The first reaction came from within the country, and the Internet was full of reports —
"Zhao Yi is invited to give a lecture at Stanford University!"
"Professor Romande: An 18-year-old Chinese high school student wrote the best paper in years!"
"Rubik’s Cube core algorithm officially released!"
"Stanford University extends an olive branch to a talented Chinese high school student!"
"The world-shaking paper comes from a Chinese high school student!"
...
In a classroom on the fourth floor of Zhengyang Thirteenth Middle School, a group of reporters surrounded Zhao Yi.
Wang Chengmin directed a few teachers to write big words on the blackboard.
One was "Zhengyang Thirteenth Middle School".
Another was "Quality Education".
He also discussed with Li Lisheng, "We should print a big banner or poster with these words on it! It could be used for the next interview. Look at those cameras, they’ll definitely catch it."
Li Lisheng gave a thumbs-up and looked at Wang Chengmin with admiration.
Wang Chengmin felt quite proud.
Zhao Yi agreed to accept the interview seriously and asked the reporters to calm down first.
Liu Huimin talked about the paper published in Journal-of-the-ACM and Professor Rodman’s evaluation of it, which made Zhao Yi understand.
The reporters asked questions.
Zhao Yi knew what they wanted to ask. He simply explained the content of the paper, " ’Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering’ is an algorithm I researched. ’Filtering’ is like a sieve that filters and discards useless things. To put it bluntly, it’s ’negative elimination’, determining what has a negative effect and what to discard."
"The filtering method is based on comparing, referring, and analyzing data. The analysis process is complex. For example, in twisting steps of a third-order Rubik’s Cube, each step will change the cube’s color. The overall color distribution change will affect the calculation and judgment. The purpose of the algorithm is to prove whether this change is harmful to the restoration!"
"Take the simplest example, a restored Rubik’s Cube - the same colors are all distributed on the same sides. No matter how you twist it, the cube becomes more complex. What needs to be filtered out are these ’negative steps’."
"Of course, the actual judgement is much more complicated, and there are a lot of data to compare and determine..."
Zhao Yi briefly explained, then let the reporters take turns asking questions.
There were more than a dozen reporters at the scene, so asking one question each wasn’t too many. They were here to interview Zhao Yi because of his paper. The paper had been explained simply, so there was no need to ask more about it. Delving deeper wouldn’t make for public news anyway.
The reporters’ questions became more about Zhao Yi himself. "Will you accept Professor Rodman’s invitation to give a lecture at Stanford University?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yi said, "I have no plans to go abroad for now."
"Would you consider attending Stanford University?"
"No."
Zhao Yi was very certain.
The reporters were puzzled by Zhao Yi’s attitude, and the next question became, "Some time ago, there was news that you received an interview invitation from Oxford University. Will you go to Oxford?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and said bluntly, "I’ve already made up my mind to choose a domestic university."
"Can you tell us why?"
"Specifically, one reason is that my parents don’t want me to be too far away from home," Zhao Yi said. "Also, I personally don’t want to go. Foreign countries aren’t necessarily better, and the domestic environment is also quite good."
"Do you have a target university?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "I’ve considered it before, but it’s still too early to decide. I’ll wait until after the College Entrance Examination to make a decision."
After a string of university-related questions, a reporter bluntly asked about Zhao Yi’s personal life, "Can I ask you a personal question? Do you... Have a girlfriend?"
The other reporters laughed.
Several cameras were fixed on Zhao Yi, as if they wanted to capture every detail of his reaction.
With a serious expression, Zhao Yi said, "This is Zhengyang Thirteenth Middle School, a high school, a place for learning! I have never thought about love issues, knowledge is my lover!"
...
Public opinion exploded!
After Zhao Yi’s interview, a large number of reports quickly appeared online.
Rubik’s Cube calculator, not important anymore.
The paper, not important anymore.
Genius, not important anymore.
The hottest focus was a single sentence - Knowledge is my lover.
A large number of news articles were related to this quote -
"Zhao Yi: Knowledge is My Lover"
"Genius High School Student Who Won’t Study Abroad: I Will Devote My Life to Scientific Research!"
"The Reason for a Genius’ Success: Treat Knowledge as Your Other Half!"
"This is the Spirit a Young Generation Should Have!"
Zhao Yi was quickly labeled as virtuous in various reports, which described him as a genius high school student who is wholeheartedly dedicated to his studies, spending all his time on research and treating knowledge as everything.
Meanwhile. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Zhao Yi was at the bike shed, asking Zhao Linlin somewhat regretfully, "You really won’t come to my house?"
"No." Zhao Linlin shook her head in refusal, and then explained her reason, "Actually, I want to go, but I can’t always stay at Xiaoqing’s house. Maybe next weekend..."
"I don’t welcome you during the day!"
Zhao Yi shook his head disdainfully, "I was thinking, if you went today, you could stay at my house for the night, my bed..."
He was patted on the back by Lin Xiaoqing.
Zhao Yi turned his head and continued, "...is too small, you’d better go home quickly, otherwise Teacher Niu might think I’ve corrupted you, and I’d be so wronged!"
Zhao Linlin chuckled and said, "See? Xiaoqing, since you’ve come, he’s even changed the way he talks."
"Humph!"
Lin Xiaoqing glanced at Zhao Yi disdainfully.
Zhao Yi suddenly leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Actually, I was hoping you would come. Will you come to my house later? It’ll just be the two of us watching the stars without Linlin here..."
Lin Xiaoqing’s face turned red immediately.
She pushed Zhao Yi away and called Zhao Linlin as she pedaled her bike, "Linlin, let’s go, off to tutoring!"
Both girls rode together side by side.
As they neared the school gate, Lin Xiaoqing suddenly turned her head to look back at Zhao Yi, her face beaming like a blooming flower.
Zhao Linlin turned her head and said something teasingly to Lin Xiaoqing.
The two girls laughed and frolicked together.
Zhao Yi followed behind, watching them, feeling emotional in his heart. What beautiful, adorable and innocent girls they were!
If only they could always be together...
Ahem, study, study, knowledge is my lover!
