Chapter 229: Chapter 182: Professional Supporting Actor? _2
Professor Liu refused to acknowledge that Zhao Yi was a student of He Mingcheng and it just so happened he had heard later that He Mingcheng also disclaimed it. He silently criticized in his mind, "This old guy still has the gall!"
In truth, Liu Hemin had wanted to make Zhao Yi his student. He had intended to guide him into the University of Science and Technology and then bring him to his laboratory. However, after getting to know him, he realized Zhao Yi’s capabilities were simply too strong.
Although his age limited his knowledge base, some of his thoughts and occasional inspirations were quite stunning.
For example, the Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering method.
This computing algorithm is not something that just anyone could research. Most people wouldn’t even think along these lines, but in the process of studying the Rubik’s cube algorithm, Zhao Yi managed to summarize this core filtration method.
This demonstrates his ability.
Once Liu Hemin knew that Zhao Yi had developed a filtration method, he started viewing him as an equal for exchange and no longer harbored thoughts of taking him as a student.
When he learned that He Mingcheng had taken Zhao Yi as his student, one can imagine how unhappy Liu Hemin was. However, when considering that He Mingcheng is a master of fuzzy mathematics and really could guide Zhao Yi in this field, he felt slightly better.
Confucius did say, "When three people journey together, their number decreases by one." This thought comforted him a bit.
Luckily, He Mingcheng kept his dignity.
When Zhao Yi publicly cracked the Collatz Conjecture, He Mingcheng immediately said that he was not qualified to be Zhao Yi’s teacher.
That’s more like it!
Zhao Yi was unaware of Professor Liu’s complicated feelings. After an introduction, he shook hands with Ying Huaguo evaluating him.
He was familiar with Ying Huaguo.
Ying Huaguo was the most famous among the "He Sect disciples," or you could say that he established the ’He Sect’. When he referred to He Mingcheng as his most respected teacher whilst receiving awards overseas, it gave rise to the term ’He Sect disciples’.
Ying Huaguo had the highest achievements. He was not only a Chief Researcher at the Science Academy but also the Dean of the Science Academy’s Software Institute—a position higher than Professor Liu’s.
Ying Huaguo looked at Zhao Yi with admiration. After introductions, he began discussing Professor Liu’s research on evolutionary algorithms.
This was a major project in the field of artificial intelligence at the Science Academy. freewebnovёl.ƈom
People surrounding them—about a dozen of them—were all from the Science Academy. There were researchers, associate researchers, doctoral students, and post-doctoral professionals. They were all involved in the study of artificial intelligence algorithms. As Zhao Yi became a prominent figure, their discussions revolved around his filtration method which was a crucial part in the field of artificial intelligence algorithms.
Computer systems compile a large amount of information. In the field of artificial intelligence, irrespective of the nature of the algorithm, the goal is to make it ’more intelligent’. Similar to humans filtering knowledge in their brains, artificial intelligence also needs to filter information to glean concise and useful information; without it, the overflow of information results in internal chaos.
The earlier artificial intelligence algorithms centered around database invocation and information comparison. The filtration method accomplished direct ’elimination’.
Of course. fгeewebnovёl.com
There’s a flip side to every coin.
If key information is eliminated, it can result in errors in the intelligence. The intricacy of algorithm design becomes the key aspect in this process.
This is one of the reasons why Zhao Yi didn’t mind making his algorithm public.
If others know the algorithm, they only know how to get it done. They need to handle the details on their own. It’s like constructing a building; everyone knows what a building should look like and can construct based on that. But whether one can build a towering skyscraper or a decrepit hut entirely depends on their ability and skill levels.
Zhao Yi started discussing this matter.
When it came to the filtration method, only Professor Liu could occasionally contribute; others could only listen and feel privileged by the valuable information they were gaining.
They developed a high regard for Zhao Yi.
In reality, many in academia perceive Zhao Yi as ’lucky’, because his credentials are non-existent and his young age makes it hard to comprehend how a student of eighteen could have accomplished so much.
Now they think it’s only natural. Zhao Yi might indeed be young, but his understanding of algorithms is already at a pinnacle level.
And so the morning passed.
Zhao Yi sat beside Professor Liu and attended two lectures—one about specific algorithm operations, which was somewhat novel, and another that seemed to focus on the potential uses and developmental trends of artificial intelligence.
That sort of lecture wasn’t geared towards researchers.
Zhao Yi later found out that it was delivered by the head of a technology company, who had partnerships with universities. His purpose on stage was more for publicity.
He wasn’t advertising a brand, but a person, aiming his message at the media and the general public.
These types of lectures were generally well received by the media, as normal people couldn’t understand too technical a subject. Projections on the potential uses and development of artificial intelligence and focus on the power of artificial intelligence and the types of companies most likely to rise in the future was what people usually cared about.
In truth, researchers knew that these presentations essentially possessed no substantial content.
Future application?
Development?
As long as the technology is good, everyone knows how to implement it. Artificial intelligence is indeed a powerful tool, but any actual research breakthrough will be powerful.
For instance, the direction of image information processing in computer science.
