Chapter 90 This is interesting! Let’s do it together!
Under the adoring eyes of Meng Qian and other doctoral students, Wang Hao left the computer laboratory. He left on the excuse that he still had work to do, because he felt that if he didn't leave, his secret would be revealed.
He really knows very little about the direction of artificial intelligence.
Even the algorithms related to artificial intelligence, including neural networks, deep learning and other fields, have not been truly understood in depth.
Just now, I just talked about some possible research and development directions based on the content of the teaching feedback and my own understanding of the algorithm.
Of course, it is still helpful for doctoral students who cannot find a research and development direction.
In the field of simplifying the research field of "representation learning", the best way is to start from the structure, because there is actually a lot of knowledge involved, and it is not enough to just grasp the general direction, and it also requires very patient research.
After Wang Hao left the laboratory building, he found that he had gained a lot.
【Task 2】
[Research Project Name: New Mersenne Prime Testing Algorithm (Difficulty: A).]
[Inspiration value: 14 points.]
The inspiration value of 'Task 2' has increased by 11 points compared with before, and the increase is quite large.
"This is correlation. In the computer lab just now, we were talking about representation learning algorithms and research directions. The Mersenne prime number testing algorithm is also an algorithm development."
"The direction is consistent. There must be other correlations, and the improvement will be relatively large."
"The improvement of knowledge is more, but the direction of inspiration is still less..."
“I still lack the knowledge base!”
Although the gift of teaching can also help increase knowledge, after all, it is only a momentary feedback rather than systematic content. The knowledge brought is not comprehensive. Limited by the direction of research and age, he still feels that the amount of knowledge is insufficient.
.
"It seems that if you want to complete this research, you still need to read more related content. The same is true for the research on the 'prime number distribution'. We still know too little."
Wang Hao knew his weaknesses, and he also knew what to do.
That day, he went to the library of the Faculty of Science to borrow several professional books related to analytic number theory, and then downloaded several papers on the results of analytic number theory, including a paper of more than 100 pages written by Andrew Wiles.
Proof of Fermat's conjecture.
This paper is very controversial in the academic world. Many mathematicians do not believe Wiles' proof, mainly because of the complexity of the proof and also because of the controversial mathematical theorems and methods used in the proof.
However, there is no problem for Wang Hao. He does not need to verify whether the paper is correct. He just looks at the content of complex papers and understands other people's research and analysis methods in related fields.
This is very valuable for research.
Wang Hao began his journey of reading books.
In the next nearly half a month, he spent most of the time reading books, either reading professional books or reading professional papers. This lasted for half a month, supplementing professional knowledge content, plus occasional teaching.
It brings inspiration value and also brings improvements related to research and development.
【Task 3】
[R&D project name: Research on the probability of prime number distribution (difficulty: S).]
[Inspiration value: 24.]
【Task 2】
[Research Project Name: New Mersenne Prime Testing Algorithm (Difficulty: A).]
[Inspiration value: 74 points.]
"Task two, the inspiration value has almost reached three-quarters." Wang Hao is still very satisfied with the progress of research and development. What he is most satisfied with is the improvement in the amount of knowledge. It can be said that by now, the knowledge base is no longer the solution to research and development problems.
Obstacles, what he lacked became inspiration.
Real inspiration, not inspiration value.
Wang Hao felt that with just a little inspiration, he would know how to solve the problem.
In half a month, many changes have taken place in the office, whether it is teaching, research and development, or personal life, etc.
Because Zhu Ping, who likes gossip, is here, at least what happens in the complex can be known without asking.
Not to mention it in the office.
Wang Hao didn't even care, so he knew that Luo Dayong went on a blind date, and even knew how he was rejected.
"The woman has high demands and says he is a bit stupid." Zhu Ping laughed and said, "This time I am relieved. Luo Dayong always talks about me."
Luo Dayong was standing at the door of the office, with an expression of despair.
The others stopped laughing immediately.
Zhu Ping noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. She turned around and looked at Luo Dayong, immediately pretended not to say anything, and shouted loudly, "Reading, studying is too difficult!"
The experimental project Yan Jing participated in made progress, and she began to be busy writing papers. She was so motivated that she worked overtime for two hours every afternoon. Sometimes it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and she could still be seen busy.
Zhang Zhiqiang's changes are also very obvious, his hair has become much thinner.
Both Wang Hao and Luo Dayong advised him not to scratch his scalp all the time, but he seemed to insist that his hair and himself were enemies, and he would grab a handful of it every time he looked at the computer.
The one who has changed the most is Zhu Ping.
According to her own description, she has uninstalled more than a dozen software on her phone, including shopping, video, music, etc.
In addition to daily gossip, Zhu Ping has been reading and studying.
This is rare.
Even in the case of Luo Dayong being rejected by the "Gossip" blind date, I found that she was really reading the book seriously and didn't care about anything.
Zhu Ping returned to the office without energy that day.
Yan Jing immediately asked, "Sister Zhu Ping, how are you? What did Dean Chen say?"
"That bad old man... agreed."
"Congratulations!" Yan Jing immediately sent her blessings.
Wang Hao and Zhang Zhiqiang were confused.
Luo Dayong simply explained, "She went to ask Dean Chen if he would take any students."
Zhang Zhiqiang whispered in confusion, "Why are you looking for Dean Chen? Professor Sun Guangyuan or Professor Qi Xiao can do it."
"You don't even look at her age. How old is she? Does she have a face?" Luo Dayong leaned over and whispered. He looked up and saw Zhu Ping standing next to her, and immediately laughed out of embarrassment.
"puff!"
Zhang Zhiqiang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Wang Hao listened with open ears and couldn't help grinning.
Zhu Ping glared at Luo Dayong angrily and said angrily, "I just want to see you being rejected on a blind date, so I won't argue with you, otherwise..."
"I'm so angry! And that dead old man!"
Yan Jing asked, "Dean Chen has agreed, are you still not happy?"
"He agreed!"
Zhu Ping said depressedly, "I was studying for a doctorate degree on the job and asked him if I could study directly without taking the exam. He even said that he had to pass the exam!"
"I'm furious!"
This is a typical case of failure through the back door, and everyone in the office felt speechless.
Yan Jing advised, "The on-the-job doctoral exam shouldn't be too difficult. The school will set its own questions, so there should be no problem."
"But it's still very difficult, especially the required discrete mathematics test..."
Zhu Ping felt her scalp numb when she picked up the textbook, "I was still thinking about applying for Wang Hao's doctorate in the future, but this math book defeated me."
"I read, I read, I read, read..." She hummed and put the book up with difficulty.
It is indeed difficult for Zhu Ping to learn new things. She is now thirty-five years old. Even if she has the knowledge base of a graduate student, she will have to forget most of it in a few years. It is not easy to immerse herself in reading books.
For an on-the-job doctoral degree from Xihai University, the exam includes four subjects, one foreign language, one political theory, and two professional courses. The information security direction she applied for requires exams on software foundation and discrete mathematics.
The basic software problems are not big, nor are the English and political problems. The most difficult thing is discrete mathematics.
This kind of subject does not require time-consuming and hard work, and you will definitely get a high score. Especially when the exam does not define the scope, you must understand them all to ensure that you can pass the test steadily.
In the field of discrete mathematics, Wang Hao is the most authoritative in the office. Zhang Zhiqiang and Luo Dayong also know a little bit. All three of them expressed their opinions, "If you don't know something, just ask us."
"Okay~~"
Zhu Ping felt a little ashamed.
Wang Hao had nothing to do, so he simply taught Zhu Ping something he didn't understand. He really wanted to help Zhu Ping understand the difficult knowledge. The lecture came with a 40% understanding bonus, so the effect was naturally very good.
Zhu Ping found that some difficult knowledge points could be understood as long as Wang Hao explained them. But if it were Zhang Zhiqiang and Luo Dayong, they still didn't understand them after talking for a long time.
She simply asked Wang Hao to explain more.
Wang Hao acted as a temporary tutor and explained to Zhu Ping for nearly an hour, covering three difficult points in a row.
Suddenly, he thought of his own research, and a prompt appeared in the system.
[Task 2, inspiration value +4.]
[Inspiration value: 78.]
Although the inspiration value is only 78 points and has not reached the level of 100 points, the problem of not being able to find the direction before seemed to suddenly become clear.
Wang Hao suddenly had a good idea.
After explaining the knowledge points to Zhu Ping, he returned to his desk, immediately opened the programming software, and started writing programs.
Soon, I got a headache.
He wanted to write a program that used a system of valid and irrelevant carries to screen the exponents of possible Mersenne primes.
Mersenne number refers to a type of number in the form of '2 raised to the power of P - 1', in which the exponent p is a prime number, often recorded as Mp.
If the Mersenne number is a prime number, Mp is called a Mersenne prime number.
The program he wanted to design was to sieve the 'exponent p' in the Mersenne number, use the structure and judgment method of the effective and irrelevant carry algorithm, and contact the known Mersenne prime numbers to obtain the 'Mersenne number with exponent p'. What is the probability?
is a Mersenne prime.
This probability is a judgment mechanism, and the results obtained are not necessarily accurate.
But as long as it is an 'exponent p' with a high probability, you can customize the test in the Prime software to check whether it is a Mersenne prime number.
This will greatly increase the chance of finding Mersenne primes.
The overall design of the program does have a direction, and he quickly drew up the structure in his mind, but he is not a professional programmer, and the program is relatively complicated. It would definitely take a long, long time to write it by himself.
He immediately looked at Zhang Zhiqiang.
"Brother Zhang, are you interested in finding Mersenne primes together?"
"Ah? Didn't you say that last time? Did you really design a program that can simplify calculations many times?"
"In that case, I'd better use Prime software."
"What's the point..."
Zhang Zhiqiang immediately shook his head and was about to prepare something. Suddenly he remembered the Rubik's Cube cracker last time, and his voice suddenly turned 180 degrees, "This is very interesting! I am very interested!"
He stood up solemnly and said, "Wang Hao, I believe you. Let's do it together!"
"Uh~~"
Wang Hao explained, "I just want to find someone to help me write the program. Do you have time? It's best to find a few more people."
"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it!" Zhang Zhiqiang patted his chest and said, "Graduate students and doctoral students in the computer laboratory are very idle. I just said it was your idea and signed up voluntarily."
"Don't worry, it's definitely right to leave this matter to me!"
