Hammer of Technology

157 He should have an English name

This time it took three hours less to fly to Montreal than to go to Washington.However, this time Ningwei specially chose the Boeing 777-300er extended-range wide-body airliner with a first-class cabin. The advantage is that it is equipped with 180-degree fully flat adjustable seats and a central bar. It is also equipped with personal entertainment and power supplies. system, what needs to be praised is that the scene lights on the plane can also simulate the wonderful moments from sunrise to sunset.

In fact, he didn't quite understand these things, but luckily someone helped him understand them.After the last 4000 million rewards were credited into his card at one time, the account manager of the bank called him, added WeChat, and sent some financial text messages from time to time.

Of course, I would rather ignore these things, but when I booked the air tickets, I thought about some of the service scope promised by the bank, so I tried to ask, and then booked these two air tickets through the bank.

This also made Ning Wei understand that the planes used to perform the flight missions were different, and the first class and business class were actually two different concepts.Very good, if you don’t count the extra expenses, at least this journey is much more comfortable, at least you can lay the seat flat, and then lie down on it to sleep quietly, and the flight attendant sent blankets thoughtfully.Sure enough, rich people never wrong themselves.

However, apart from allowing himself to sleep more comfortably, Ning Wei did not enjoy any other services. After boarding the plane, he put on his earphones and turned on the single loop mode of "Under Mount Fuji", but it was not the original version, but just discovered The version of the cooperation between Zhou Shen and Li Keqin.

There is no other reason, but he simply thinks that the interpretation of the two people's harmony with each other makes him feel that it is particularly in line with the state of mind at this time, and it completely expresses a young man's middle school two who act entirely by feeling.

After getting off the plane and waiting to pass the customs, Ning Weicai was willing to take off his earphones, and said to Yu Xingwei with infinite emotion: "Brother Yu, I will definitely take Jiang Chenshuang to Mount Fuji once in the future."

Yu Xingwei heard the sound of music leaking from the earphones, looked at Ning Wei with complicated and unspeakable eyes, and asked, "Mr. Ning, you actually don't understand Cantonese very well, do you?"

Ning Wei shook his head. Although he is not very good at speaking, he remembered the lyrics after reading it once. How could he not understand?

"Then don't you feel that this is a song about broken love? The situation between you and classmate Jiang hasn't reached this stage yet, right?" Yu Xingwei asked cautiously.

Yesterday he suggested Ning Wei to say goodbye to classmate Jiang, but the two of them didn't know what they said, Ning Wei turned his head and went home without waiting for him. After returning home, he went to mess with March. Of course, Even if he didn't mess around with March, he wouldn't be able to ask.

Before boarding the plane, he kept tinkering with his mobile phone. He wore headphones all the way on the plane, but he was listening to such a song, which made him feel very at a loss.

"Don't panic, I haven't had time to fall in love yet. Hurry up and listen to it before falling in love, and stop listening to it after you fall in love, so as not to be unlucky." Ning Wei nodded, and then put on the earphones again.

Well, that makes a lot of sense.

He was very upset, but in fact Yu Xingwei felt that Ning Weicai was more like a normal young man when he listened to the song, unlike when he was studying, sometimes it really made him feel that Ning Wei was so focused like a robot.

……

This time in Montreal, Ning Wei declined Director Tian’s proposal to find a local friend to pick him up to the venue of the conference. He is already in his 20s, and he cannot be taken care of every time he goes out.When the two of them came to the airport exit after completing the customs clearance procedures, they immediately saw an acquaintance waving at them.

That's right, it was Feng Shaojie who picked them up at the last soda conference in the United States and sent them to the local shopping mall to buy a notebook.

The two walked over immediately, and when they got closer, Ning Wei took off the earphones and asked in surprise, "Huh? Brother Feng? You and Professor Shen also came to this conference? Also, how do you know about our flight?" of?"

Feng Shaojie glanced at Ning Wei with complicated and unspeakable eyes, and replied: "Don't mention it, the teacher and I didn't plan to participate in this conference. It was because of your paper that the teacher decided to bring me here temporarily. Oh, By the way, he also told me to study hard with you. As for knowing which flight you take, wouldn’t it be easier, wouldn’t it be ok for my boss to call Brother Yu’s boss?”

"Oh!" Ning Wei nodded, not feeling too strange.

Feng Shaojie continued to smile and said: "Also, as far as I know, there are at least 200 people who were brought by the instructor to listen to your report this time, and a group was created on Twitter. I said in the group that the boss wants I came to pick you up, everyone asked me to be more enthusiastic, more enthusiastic, so that you can fully experience how much everyone is looking forward to your arrival. Some people also suggested that I take you directly to the underground parking lot of the hotel, they can advance Go prepare a surprise party for you."

"Oh! Are there any beauties at the surprise party?" Ning Wei asked.

"Yes! Absolutely! Are you going?" Feng Shaojie raised his eyebrows and asked.

Ning Wei glanced at Yu Xingwei, and replied old-fashionedly: "I already have a master, so I won't go. Brother Yu is still single. He admired the party culture here last time. Why don't I come here later?" Get off at the entrance of the hotel, go back to the room to rest, you can take Brother Yu to have fun. He is also one of the authors of the paper, so he deserves a warm welcome ceremony."

Yu Xingwei shook his head righteously, and said, "No, I don't, I don't deserve it, and I won't go either! I just want to sleep now."

"Okay, let's go! There is no surprise party, just kidding with you. It's because you have a party for the elderly to attend. The boss and many people are thinking about talking to you about something serious." Feng Shaojie shook his hand and walked out of the hotel The rented car key, said.

……

The second time I went abroad, my mentality was different. For example, Ning Wei was a little less looking forward to the scenery outside the window, and put on the earphones again after getting in the car.

Feng Shaojie was also much quieter, not as talkative as the first time.

To be honest, when Ning Wei and Yu Xingwei met for the first time, Feng Shaojie only thought that these two guys were just bumpkins who had never seen anything in the world, so when they expressed their opinions, they had the intention of showing off.

But this time it's different, I can't think of anything fancy.

Show off knowledge?God knows whether people have never seen it or are not interested in knowing it, showing off their knowledge?Don't be kidding, let's not talk about ns equations. The 206-page paper alone has been a nightmare for countless these two months.

After carefully studying the papers, I know that everyone's academic level is not at the same level at all. Those dazzling space transformation skills and a series of self-derived lemmas are simply a large-scale magic show.

Especially when Lemma xx, Lemma xx, and the above discussion appear in the paper, it can be easily concluded that...

This is the biggest nightmare. Rather, the formulas and conclusions that can be easily listed in the paper often require them to go to the professor, and then throw out a bunch of theorems and various conversions to demonstrate. The whole demonstration process can often be achieved. Write a big blackboard, and then come to the conclusion, well, the explanation of the thesis is correct, but it needs a few steps of transformation, don’t you guys understand?

Well, I have to say that this process has helped you review many basic knowledge of mathematics, such as z-transform, Laplace transform, Fourier transform, Plaps transform, differential state equation of continuous time system, discrete time System differential equation of state, etc., etc.

What is jaw-dropping is that these basic knowledge can still be used in this way?

Is there anything more annoying than having your IQ suppressed?Probably because IQ has been continuously suppressed!

This is also the original intention of establishing the group group that Feng Shaojie said.

After all, these are a group of extremely proud young people. It is obviously unbearable to keep asking professors for advice if you encounter such a problem, so everyone can discuss in private what they don't understand.

At least some people have asked their tutors about question a, and other people don’t have to go to their professors to ask them again. When they encounter questions that have not been asked before, everyone can brainstorm and find an understandable way most of the time.

It's just that one month of playing like this is really too short, and it's not enough for them to understand the whole paper, and even some people still can't understand it even after getting the explanation.

So the content of the chat in this group is very clear. Before discussing the problem, first greet Ningwei kindly, and after the discussion is over, greet Ningwei kindly again...

In this way, in the academic circle of the younger generation of algorithms, everyone also brainstormed and followed the naming habits of Westerners, and gave Ning Wei an unfriendly but absolutely appropriate English name, "Ning, outstanding reputation, no martial arts, author. Dead Showman·Founder of Shit Theory·Terminator of Summer Vacation·Mathematical Abnormality·Studying to Be a Man·More Hateful Than My Husky·Public Enemy·Deriving Nightmare·No Girlfriend·Thesis Maniac·Killing with a Pen and Not a Knife·Give Me Back the Party · I am an undergraduate student · for"!

Well, even the group agreed that if the name Ningwei is to appear in the group chat, it would be disrespectful to Mr. Ningwei not to type the above full name.

For a person who joined the group chat first, what else can Feng Shaojie say after seeing Ningwei?Yes, before he was able to achieve such a great reputation with the world, he really didn't have much interest in talking to Ning Wei.

Maybe when he was expressing his inner feelings, people were thinking, look at this idiot, pretending to be well-informed, but in fact he doesn't understand anything...

Yes, no one wants to humiliate themselves.

……

In this way, without talking all the way, we arrived at the hotel.

The arrangement of the organizing committee is still very considerate. The hotel and the conference center are integrated, and you can directly reach the place where the meeting will be held the next day from the corridor.

It was probably the afternoon of the day before the meeting. When Ning Wei walked into the hotel, he saw that the lobby was already bustling. People in twos and threes could be seen everywhere chatting about something. full.

"Look who is here? Oh, Ning Wei, our friend, we meet again."

Before Ning Wei walked to the bar, a warm greeting attracted the attention of many people in the lobby. All eyes were on the young man who had just walked into the hotel.

Ning Wei was startled, took off the earphones, and looked in the direction of the sound.

Not an old friend, but John Wilson, who had met once, stood up from the sofa in the lobby for guests to rest, and looked at him with a smile. It was not only this Professor Wilson, but also Professor Shen and the others. An old gentleman whom he had never met.

Hey, that stupid woman from Harvard is here too?

"Professor Wilson, Professor Shen, hello." Ning Wei came over and said hello.

"Boy, are you tired? If you're not tired, come and have a casual chat with some of us old guys, oh, no, there's also our young and beautiful Princess Isabel and our future youngest beautiful professor at Harvard, Miss Ron." John Wilson said enthusiastically.

It was only then that Ning Wei noticed that there was a young-looking Caucasian girl sitting next to Lucy Ron, looking at him curiously.

"I'm not tired, but I have to check in first, right?" Ning Wei replied.

"It's not troublesome, Shaojie, you go and help Dr. Yu and Ning Wei check in, let Dr. Yu go and have a good rest first, and you will bring a room card to Ning Wei later." Professor Shen explained from the side.

"Okay, Professor Shen." Feng Shaojie replied honestly.

Well, there is no way to say no now.

In fact, Ning Wei didn't mind communicating with these big shots, but the woman next to him kept staring at him with murderous eyes, which made people uncomfortable.

As for the girl next to Lucy, Ning Wei remembered that John Wilson used the word princess when introducing her, but he didn't take it too seriously.

"Come on, let's sit and chat. Let me introduce you formally. This is Mr. Wall. I believe you must have heard of him. He designed the Perl language."

"Hello, Mr. Wall, I've seen you for a long time." Ning Wei nodded to the old boss.

"Well, your turbulence algorithm amazes me." Larry Wall nodded slightly and replied.

"This is Michael I Jordan, who is recognized as the father of machine learning and one of the important guests at this conference." John Wilson continued.

"Oh, Professor Jordan, hello, the probability graphical model you designed has inspired me a lot." Ning Wei said.

This sentence is not a compliment, the scholar in front of me or many people have never heard of it, but all of his students are already big names in the industry.

For example, the famous artificial intelligence deep learning experts Wu Da and Xing Jiaxiang are both his students, and Ian Goodfellow, who once proposed to confront the generation network, is also a student of his students. He really deserves to be the father of machine learning .

"Haha, also, your thesis makes me feel like I'm back in my youth." Professor Jordan smiled.

"Oh, how did I forget our Princess Isabel, well, I have to admit that we just happened to meet, she became very good friends with Lucy when she was an art major at Harvard, and this time she was invited to attend the Montreal An activity in the Museum of Fine Arts, two people got together, you are young people, maybe after chatting with us old men, you can have a drink, and then go to have a good rest." John Wilson said with a smile.

------------

158 Chat with me?impossible!

Ning Wei smiled politely at the two girls, showing what little demeanor he had left in Lucy Ron's eyes.

But in fact, Ning Wei was slandering in his heart that art had nothing to do with his major, and it seemed even less related to Lucy Ron's major, and he didn't know how the two women became good friends.But then again, in Ning Wei's opinion, Lucy Ron's mind without any rationality at all is indeed more suitable for art than science that requires rigorous rational thinking.

As for the appearance and figure of the two of them, it was not in Ning Wei's consideration at all.Anyway, no matter how beautiful she is, she is definitely not as good as classmate Jiang.

"Okay, Ning Wei is actually bothering you because we were discussing to simplify the content involved in your submitted paper to a certain extent, and then compile it into a textbook and put it in the school at a certain time in the future What do you think of this in some of the elective courses?"

After introducing everyone present to Ning Wei, John Wilson got right to the point.

After all, Ning Wei had just arrived at his destination after a long journey, and he was going to give a report at the conference tomorrow, so he needed plenty of time to rest, so John Wilson didn't choose to chat with this talented young man about the customs of Montreal first. , Of course he is in favor of young people to communicate these.

"Writing it into a textbook?" Ning Wei was taken aback.

This was something he hadn't thought of.

Ning Wei himself was born in mathematics, and he is still in Jiangcheng University, a well-known 985 university in China. He knows that it is difficult to understand the extremely complicated and interlocking lemmas in his theory with the teaching of mathematics content at the undergraduate level. The proof process, so I never thought about writing textbooks.

However, after hearing John Wilson's proposal, he suddenly felt that it would be good if these bigwigs could do this simplified and summarized work.

"Of course it's good, but I can ask, can I write English and Chinese versions at the same time? If so, I don't have any objections." Ning Wei nodded and said straightforwardly.

This is so refreshing for two reasons.

First, the news is confirmed, and this can be regarded as a matter of glory for the country.A Chinese mathematician's thesis was compiled into a textbook, and in a few years, major schools in the world will open corresponding elective courses. Who dares to say that it is not for the glory of the country;

Second, this can be regarded as realizing his concept layout for the future.If these schools can cultivate some students who are interested in his theory in the early stage and lay a certain foundation, and if they hope to develop in this direction in the future, then there is no doubt that the place where he is located is a holy place for these people to pilgrimage.

By that time, he will probably have the qualifications to lead doctoral students and graduate students, and Yu Xing's great probability has also been cultivated.The big data laboratory established by Yu Xingwei will have a relatively sufficient talent pool for screening.

Ning Wei had never thought about it, but it was what he expected to think that many PhD students in mathematics would go to Yu Xingwei's laboratory for doctoral dissertations and stay up all day and night in order to transform his theories into results.

"Chinese textbooks?" John Wilson thought for a while and glanced at Professor Shen.

"That's no problem. I can preside over the compilation of the Chinese version of the textbook." Shen Zheqing nodded and said.

"Haha, then there is no problem. It's just the specific publication process of the Chinese version of the textbook, so we can't get involved." John Wilson said.

"It's okay. After the textbook is compiled, I can take the sample book to talk to my tutor first. I think he is also very interested." Ning Wei replied.

"Don't worry, when you have any troubles during the compilation of textbooks, remember to check your emails in time. We will also greet you after we confirm the candidates for the editorial committee. In short, we will fully respect your opinions. ’” John Wilson said with a smile.

Ning Wei nodded, anyway, this is a good thing.

"Oh, by the way, I have another matter to discuss with you. Originally, I asked Lucy to talk to you first, but she said that you were busy before and didn't reply to her message. I wanted to send you an email." email, but felt too abrupt. So I stayed today and formally invited you, Ning Wei, are you willing to come to Harvard as a professor? I have already discussed with some old friends, if you are willing to come, He will become the youngest tenured professor in the history of Harvard. In this way, the textbooks we have written can also be useful." John Wilson continued.

This proposal really made Ning Wei a little confused, to be a professor?But he is still a student!

"Professor Wilson, thank you very much for your attention, but how should I put it, I just applied for Professor Tian's Ph.D. Think about these issues." Ning Wei replied immediately after being stunned.

"Professor Tian, ​​are you talking about Tian Yanzhen?" Professor Shen next to him interrupted.

Ning Wei nodded.

"With all due respect, at least in the field you are currently studying, Professor Tian probably can't teach you too much. And with your current level, you don't care about that doctoral diploma at all. If you definitely feel the need to get this diploma, you just need to Write a doctoral dissertation on the existing research scope, I believe that many schools are willing to grant you a doctorate. For example, Harvard, or the University of Pennsylvania, of course Princeton is also possible.”

John Wilson said without hesitation.

When these words came from Professor John Wilson, the princess Isabel stretched her neck curiously to see Ning Wei's reaction, but Ning Wei obviously didn't respond, she just shook her head and said frankly : "Well, I still hope to finish my Ph.D. After all, I'm only in my 20s, and I really didn't think about starting a teaching job so early."

When the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Yu Xingwei happened to come over to give Ning Wei a room card. After the two exchanged a few words softly, Yu Xingwei went to the room first, and Professor Shen also smoothed things over: "Haha, John, why worry? For Ning Wei, the two-to-three-year doctoral period is also a kind of experience, which can make us look forward to his future even more."

"That's right, okay, but I think you should seriously consider my proposal. Of course, if you change your mind during your doctoral study, my suggestion will still be valid at any time." John Wilson smiled again.

After finishing speaking, John Wilson looked at the other two big men who had been silent all this time, and said, "I suggest that we old guys go to a bridge game together and leave the good time to these young people. How about it?"

"That's a good suggestion, but John, have you prepared enough cash?" Larry Wall joked.

"Ha...don't be so confident in yourself. Although skill is important, luck is also important." John Wilson shrugged, then stood up.

Ian Goodfellow, who had been silent for a while, stood up together, handed Ning Wei a note with a number on it, and said, "John told you a lot just now, I don't have much to say. , but I'm interested in your theory, and if there's time in this meeting, maybe we can have a cup of coffee and just chat."

"Okay, Mr. Goodfellow." Ning Wei took the note and said immediately.

After nodding to Ningwei, the machine learning tycoon stood up and said, "Let's go then, but let's make it clear first, I don't want to partner with Old John, Shen, only you can lead this game of cards." Just a confused old guy."
