From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Academic conferences are held by well-known academic institutions. It is difficult for a scholar to influence academic conferences, even influential academicians and international award winners. In the meeting, it is just to let the meeting have one more expert review, to increase some influence and weight.

However, there is one exception, that is, some scholars have published very influential academic reports in the field.

For example, if a scholar wants to publish top-level mathematical conjecture research at a top conference, and his research has been proven effective to a certain extent, the related conference will definitely become famous, and a large number of mathematicians will apply to participate.

The same is true now.

The effective and irrelevant carry algorithm is of course not as famous as the famous mathematical conjecture, but in the computer industry, algorithms are the basis of development. New algorithms, especially new algorithms that can solve problems, will naturally have a great influence .

'Cube cracker' has been labeled as 'black technology'.

Many professionals have stood up and said that the processing functions of ordinary mobile phones are difficult to use to calculate the Rubik's Cube restoration step, which requires a huge amount of calculation.

Therefore, the source code of the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker' must contain a very sophisticated algorithm.

The news released by Penguin has boosted the reputation of this algorithm. Everyone in the industry knows that the algorithm of the Rubik's Cube Cracker was developed by Wang Hao, and Wang Hao said that he would disclose the algorithm at an academic conference, which would naturally cause a lot of trouble. Huge response.

Anyone who is a scholar in related fields will be interested in algorithms that can greatly reduce the amount of computation.

This is not only a theoretical basis, but also directly applicable.

Some top technology companies at home and abroad are planning to invite their algorithm experts to participate in the meeting. They also want to know the content of the algorithm at the first time to see if it can be used, so as not to lag behind others in the basic algorithm.

The Pearl City Computer Conference was initiated by the International Computer Society, and the organizers were the Domestic Computer Society, the Society of Applied Mathematics of Capital University, and the Computing Science Center of Shencheng University.

The three domestic academic institutions cooperated to hold the International Computer Conference, and also sent representatives to form a working group to focus on the work related to the academic conference.

The working place of this group is in an office building provided by Zhucheng University.

As early as one month before the meeting, they had already arranged the work properly, including inviting some domestic and foreign experts, including the application to participate in the meeting, and including the detailed formulation of the meeting process, etc.

Wang Hao is one of the invited domestic experts. He is the most shining figure in the field of basic computer research in recent months.

The "Fourier transform assisted construction mathematical model" is valued by large Internet companies, and it is believed that it can improve the speed and accuracy of big data analysis, while the "large number multiplication algorithm" is to make the most basic large number multiplication operation, with a new method and faster speed.

These two studies have attracted a lot of attention, so the working group simply invited Wang Hao to serve as a reviewer and give a recent work report.

What they thought was that Wang Hao would give a report on the "Large Number Multiplication Algorithm".

This is attractive enough.

A large number multiplication operation that can improve computing efficiency, even if many people already know it, can still attract many people's attention and help improve the quality and influence of the conference. After all, it is a brand new algorithm and a top research in computer theory. Similar studies are enough to make work reports at the top conferences.

The work report is not intended to be a proof. The papers have already been posted on the search website, and there is no need to do proof. The main content of the work report is to talk about the research ideas, problems encountered in the research, and the process of solving the problems. Similar content will help others to expand their thinking, and it will also have a certain reference value for their own research and development.

However, what the working group did not expect was that a "Rubik's Cube Cracker" would suddenly appear. Coupled with the news of the research and development results announced by Penguin, the new algorithm suddenly became the focus of the industry.

Wang Hao also announced that this brand-new algorithm would be disclosed at the academic conference, which led to a sudden large number of people signing up for the conference.

The working group has also become very busy, and they don't know what to do for a while.

"This Wang Hao is simply a pervert!"

"He seems to have just completed the research on the algorithm for multiplying large numbers. How come there is another algorithm for effective and irrelevant carry?"

"This algorithm has a greater impact than the multiplication of large numbers. The multiplication algorithm of large numbers only increases the speed of multiplication several times, and this algorithm can greatly simplify the speed of solving the Rubik's Cube, and simplify it exponentially."

"Obviously, the algorithm is very sophisticated, just think about it."

"It's no wonder so many people care."

"What now? Too many applications, over a thousand new applications, over four hundred of them from abroad, look at this application, Pete Schulze...Fields winner? "

A group of people immediately leaned over to watch.

Peter Schulze, the youngest professor ever in Germany, was hired as the highest-level full professor by the University of Bonn at the age of 24. He is a well-known genius in the field of mathematics. He went to university at the age of 20 and completed undergraduate courses in one and a half years , It took another year to finish the postgraduate courses, and after publishing the master's thesis, the school made an exception to upgrade it to a doctoral thesis.

In other words, it only took him two and a half years from college to Ph. D. graduation.

After graduating from university, Pete Schulze started his winning career all the way. One award a year is very common, and he even rejected several awards in the middle of the process, on the grounds that he did not have time to accept the awards.

At the age of 31, Pete Schulze received Fields, the highest honor in mathematics.

This kind of super genius is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and the name of Pete Schulze is also remembered all over the world.

When his name appeared on the list of applicants to participate in the conference, the conference working group felt even trickier, and similar top-level mathematicians certainly could not refuse.

Among the guests they specially invited, there is only one Turing Award winner, but compared with the shining Pete Schulze, it feels a little worse.

A group of people struggled and discussed for a whole day, and finally they could only come up with the only feasible solution - to change the venue!

This solution was thought of at the very beginning, but changing the venue involved a financial problem, and it was not a low financial expenditure.

They can only discuss and discuss, and in the end they can only bite the bullet and change venues.

When there are so many top scholars participating in the conference, funding can no longer be an obstacle. Compared with high funding expenditures, holding an academic conference with great influence is obviously much more important.

...

Wang Hao didn't know that one of his interviews would have such a big impact that the working group of the meeting was so busy that he had to decide to change the venue.

He has nothing to prepare for the computer conference to attend and the algorithm report to be given.

The thesis has been written.

When it’s time to attend a meeting and report, just go on stage and give an explanation.

On the other hand, another job was a bit troublesome. He was invited to be a reviewer at the meeting. He was a little worried about his lack of ability, because he felt that his level was not high, and the most important thing was the limitation in the research and development field.

If it is purely in the field of theoretical algorithms, he is very confident, but when it comes to other fields, the situation may be different.

There are too many fields of computer research and development, and most of them are not theoretical algorithms. It can be said that theoretical algorithms are just a niche classification in the computer field.

There is a clear proof that whether it is the Outstanding Youth Fund or the Outstanding Youth Fund, among the project announcements passed every year, there are two or three projects in the direction of computer theory research.

Most of the projects that can be applied for are applied research, such as information transmission, image processing, medical applications, and of course artificial intelligence in large categories, etc.

In fact, just like the research of mathematics, the amount of research in applied mathematics is several times or dozens of times larger than that of pure mathematics, and there will always be a small number of people doing theoretical research.

Wang Hao is doing mathematics and computer research, and has hardly dabbled in the field of computer application, but he thought about it carefully and felt relieved.

Every scholar is the same, how can research cover many fields?

He is not the only review expert at the meeting, and he does not need to worry about the review issues of each report.

There is good news today.

The cooperative research and development project between Navitas Lab and Microchuang Technology has been reached.

Chuangwei Technology sponsored 23 million funds in advance, which was used to purchase high-precision equipment and conduct initial research and development for Navitas Lab.

The sponsorship funds for horizontal projects in which laboratories and enterprises cooperate are not fixed. As long as the research can be carried out normally and there are certain results in the middle, there will be a steady stream of financial support in the follow-up.

Navitas Lab can be said to be full of food, and there is no need to worry about research and development funds for at least two or three years.

As the leader of the project, Xia Guobin was naturally very happy. After the cooperation project was finalized, he formally invited Wang Hao to have a meal and thanked him for his data analysis report, so that the project cooperation could be achieved. He was accompanied by the experiment other researchers and two associate researchers.

During the dinner, Xia Guobin talked about the problems encountered in the cooperation, "I felt very hopeful at first. Your experimental analysis is so good that you can't find any problems at all, which shows that our direction is correct. "

"But the team from Chuangwei, the most important thing is Director Du. He didn't respond at all. It is said that he wants to find other laboratories to cooperate with."

"Fortunately, Manager Su argued hard, and finally finalized the cooperation. Manager Su has been talking with the laboratory, and she is optimistic about the project."

Wang Hao nodded after listening, and said, "They will definitely not regret it. I did the experimental data analysis and knew that this direction is right."

"With high-precision equipment and improved experimental design, there will definitely be results."

Several people talked about some project issues.

Xia Guobin recalled looking for Wang Hao to analyze the experimental data, and couldn't help sighing, "Wang Hao, to be honest, I really had no choice but to ask you for analysis at the very beginning. It was really unexpected."

He continued seriously, "On behalf of our laboratory, I would like to formally express my gratitude to you. If you come to me if you encounter any problems in the school, I will definitely help you."

"Professor Xia, you are too polite."

Xia Guobin said, "Actually, I should have thought of it at the very beginning. You opened an elective course related to data mining. No wonder..."

Wang Hao's expression was a little weird, and the causal relationship seemed to be reversed.

The level of data analysis is high, so there is an elective course related to data mining?

No, it should be reversed.

An elective course related to data mining was opened, so the data analysis ability became higher.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

...

For a long time after that, Wang Hao focused on the study of prime numbers.

Take classes and get inspiration points.

When he returned to the office, he would do research and read papers seriously, and when he had time, he would go to the library to read books. He seemed to be possessed, as long as he was free time, he was reading books, reading papers, and thinking about problems.

Zhou Qingyuan noticed his state and knew that he was studying the problem of prime numbers, so he couldn't help reminding, "It's best not to spend too much time on the research of prime numbers. Your field is partial differential equations and theoretical algorithms. You can have an understanding of new fields, but it’s best not to go too deep.”

He felt that Wang Hao had gone astray.

Analytic number theory is the most difficult field in basic mathematics, and a large number of top geniuses have invested in it but gained little.

Wang Hao is indeed a very genius. If he continues to do research on partial differential equations, he will definitely have more results. Why bother to study prime numbers?

"I also know that number theory is very fascinating, and the results in this area will be very influential."

Zhou Qingyuan continued, "However, we can't be too utilitarian in our research, and we can't be too ambitious. The achievements in the field of partial differential equations have little influence, but they are the basis for the development of mathematics and science..."

"Wow wow ~~"

He said a lot in a row, that is, research should not be too utilitarian, and small achievements in mathematical theory research are also very, very important.

Wang Hao raised his head and said, "Professor Zhou, you also said that doing research should not be too utilitarian. If you are pursuing results in the field of partial differential equations, isn't it utilitarian?"

"I like to do research in the field of number theory. The laws of numbers are very interesting, and you can definitely understand them. I think it doesn't matter if you spend time and energy in the field you like, but there is no result."

Zhou Qingyuan didn't know how to persuade him for a while.

Everyone in today's society is very utilitarian. Even scholars who do research hope that their research will be fruitful, and they will spend their energy in the fields that are most likely to produce results.

Many scholars will focus on the fields and directions that can apply for funding. As for whether they like the content of the field, it is not important at all, and the most important thing is to be able to produce results.

How many scholars can focus on their favorite fields to do research without being utilitarian?

Yes, very rarely.

Zhou Qingyuan did not dare to say that he likes the research of partial differential equations. He only did research in this direction when he was young, and he continued to do it in depth.

Wang Hao can focus on the research he likes, and he has already done what most scholars can't do. What else can we persuade?

To persuade is to be utilitarian!
