From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Wang Hao stepped off the podium, exchanged pleasantries with many scholars, and then sat down again to continue listening to the remaining reports.

Many people are still discussing it.

Top-level academic conferences also have 'mistakes' reports, but generally they only appear in the reports of lesser-known scholars, or simply 'doctoral students' reports. Famous scholars report at conferences, and major errors are still very rare. of.

In addition, the thesis needs to be reviewed twice, and most of the errors are minor.

The problem with Themis-Gorlix and Almaros is that they didn't know the research was wrong and 'fooled' almost everyone with their clear logic, if it wasn't for the 'Fourier transform to aid in building mathematical models' If the author is present, there is a high probability that the STACS meeting will include the wrong paper, and may even award the 'Best Paper Award' to the wrong paper.

The publication of this paper will have a great impact, and more institutions will definitely try to use the method in the paper, and then they will find problems.

At that time, the reputation and weight of the STACS meeting will be affected.

The organizer of the STACS conference should thank Wang Hao for pointing out the mistake.

This paper can 'fool' almost everyone because of two new methods, one is 'divide and conquer', and the other is 'Fourier transform-assisted construction of mathematical models', both of which are very ingenious , so that many people in the venue felt their eyes brightened, subconsciously felt that there was such a clever method, and the logic was very clear, and the possibility of errors in the content was very low.

Another important reason is that Themis-Gorliks ​​is a famous professor at the University of Helsinki in Finland. He has a certain reputation in Europe and even the world. He has won several awards related to computer theory. Candidate for the Turing Award.

Whether Themis-Gorlix can win the Turing Award is uncertain, but being nominated for the award has surpassed most scholars.

The Turing Award is the most important award in the field of computer information technology.

Such a well-known scholar released a major achievement report, and the doubts would naturally be much smaller.

Having seen the scene where Wang Hao directly pointed out the research error, many scholars felt that this trip was worthwhile.

Such scenes are rarely seen.

At the same time, more people knew about Wang Hao's report, and became very interested in what the report said about the "algorithm for multiplying large numbers".

...

noon.

Wang Hao, Ruan Hailong, and Sha Mian had a simple meal together in a restaurant. During the process, the topic was all about what happened in the morning.

"If this matter is reported back to China, it will definitely be a big news in the academic world. Point out Gorelix's mistake on the spot!"

"That's Themis-Gorlix!"

"Green out of blue is better than blue!" Sha Mianzhi shook his head with a wry smile, "If it were me, I would definitely check first to see if my understanding was wrong."

Wang Hao didn't care, "Because I researched that method, so I can definitely determine the problem."

"Right."

The others stopped after saying a few words.

It's not interesting to say too much about the same thing, they all hold it in their hearts, thinking that after returning to China, it is also a way to talk to other people.

For Wang Hao, this was just a small episode.

In the afternoon, I will continue to listen to the report carefully. Some studies that are not very valued may often be helpful to his research. The opportunity to participate in professional top academic conferences is very precious. If you can listen more, you can listen more. The research direction and research content may be a good reference for myself.

At the same time, the harvest of inspiration value is also great.

【Task 2】

[Inspiration value: 4. 】

Four points of inspiration may not sound like much, but considering the difficulty of A-level research and just listening to reports, it can be said to be quite high.

The next day came quickly.

Wang Hao and Ruan Hailong still came very early. They arrived half an hour before the start of the report meeting. They found a place to sit down and noticed two figures in the back row.

"Themis-Gorlix?"

"Almarov?"

Wang Hao and Gorelix looked at each other and nodded towards each other. As if Gorelix didn't see Wang Hao, he turned his head and pretended to talk to Almarov.

Wang Hao didn't care either.

Similar things are not common in normal people's social life, but they are too common in top academic circles.

Many top scholars are not good at politeness and hypocrisy. Some of them have extreme personalities. In the eyes of normal people, they have mental problems, but it is not a big deal to ignore people.

soon.

The report will officially begin.

Sha Mianzhi, Wang Mingkun, and Xu Jie still came and sat next to Wang Hao, but compared to yesterday, they were obviously a little nervous because they were about to give a report on stage.

Sha Mianzhi and Wang Mingkun held a stack of manuscripts in their hands, and kept looking down, as if they were students preparing for the exam.

Finally, it's here.

Most of the reports that came first in the morning were small studies, and they didn't last long. Sha Mianzhi's research was sorted as the finale. After many people studied "entering the state" from a young age, it was their turn to appear.

Sha Mianzhi and Wang Mingkun walked onto the stage together.

The combination of the two was dominated by Sha Mianzhi, and Wang Mingkun was standing beside him as an 'assistant'. They were a little nervous, but because the research had substantial content, they quickly entered the state after the explanation.

IO, indistinguishable obfuscation, is a general existence of black technology in cryptography. It can not only hide data sets, but also hide the inner working mechanism of computer programs and create powerful encryption tools.

But it is precisely because of this power that people doubt whether IO really exists.

The research of Sha Mianzhi and Wang Mingkun focuses on the security construction of IO. They show how to use only standard security assumptions to build a unique IO, and provide a theoretical perspective that can build multiple encryption tools in time. The way.

It is no wonder that this level of research will be placed in the finale.

Sha Mianzhi's explanation lasted for about forty-five minutes, and the next ten minutes were left for Wang Mingkun to answer questions. When the two left the stage together, the audience applauded thunderously, which represented the recognition of the research by the participating scholars .

A reviewer stood up and commented, "This is indeed a very good theoretical work, which has promoted the improvement of theoretical mechanisms in the computer field."

Together with Sha Mianzhi and Wang Mingkun, several judges and guests shook hands, and received several compliments. When they sat back, their faces were all flushed, and they were all very excited because their research was affirmed, which can be said to be overwhelming. All the reports, even yesterday's Oxford University professor's research report, are a little bit worse.

This is indeed something to be excited about.

If we expand the scope, it is rare to see Chinese faces in top international professional academic conferences, and this STACS conference is the same. There are hundreds of scholars participating in the conference, but only less than 20 Chinese faces can be found. The other half are foreign scholars.

There are few domestic scholars at top academic conferences, and it is definitely very difficult to "take the top spot" at theoretical computer conferences.

Wang Hao also gave Sha Mianzhi a thumbs up, and praised, "Mr. Sha, your research is very difficult, meaningful, and remarkable."

"thanks, thanks!"

The excitement of Sha Mianzhi and Wang Mingkun lasted until noon, and they seemed to get better during the meal.

Sha Mianzhi did not forget to remind Wang Hao, "Wang Hao, you have to be prepared. Yesterday you came to the stage to point out your mistakes and performed very well. It is estimated that many people will listen to your report this afternoon."

Being in the limelight can also bring stress.

If it is just a small achievement, it is also a good thing to be ranked at a time when it is not valued.

Wang Hao's performance yesterday was so eye-catching, it attracted many people's ideas, and there must be many people to listen to the report, but it turned out to be a small achievement, as if he was on the big stage that everyone was looking forward to. Children's magic tricks will definitely be a little embarrassing, and some people will not be able to get off the stage.

Wang Hao smiled, "Mr. Sha, don't you remember? I told you that I will compete with you for the best paper."

Sha Mianzhi suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence, "Isn't that a joke?"

...

After lunch, he went back to the hotel for a rest, and then went directly to the venue. After arriving at the second lecture hall, Wang Hao went to the backstage to find the staff, and talked about the electronic projection screen of the podium.

When we got back to the venue, it was already full of people.

The second lecture hall is relatively smaller, it can only accommodate more than 200 people, which is obviously a little less than yesterday morning, but it seems that there are many people squeezed into the second lecture hall.

A row of judges and invited experts sat in front.

Sha Mianzhi, Wang Mingkun, Xu Jie, and Ruan Hailong sat together on the edge of the second row. They failed to take the middle seat, but there was a familiar face in the middle of the second row.

It was Themis-Gorlix.

When Wang Hao looked in the middle, Gorelix smiled at him, and Wang Hao nodded symbolically.

Then, he spoke.

"Since I came here, people have been asking me, is my research on the multiplication algorithm of large numbers an improvement or an innovation?"

"Improvement is a small achievement; innovation may be a big achievement, or it may be wrong, because the algorithm for multiplying large numbers has not been innovated for many years."

"Now that I am standing here, I can answer: 'Improvement is also innovation'. What does it mean? This still starts with the discrete Fourier transform..."

Wang Hao made a start, and then began to explain.
