From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Under the adoring eyes of Meng Qian and other doctoral students, Wang Hao left the computer laboratory. He left under the pretext of "still busy with work", because he felt that if he didn't leave, he would be "exposed".

He really knows very little about the content of artificial intelligence.

Even algorithms related to artificial intelligence, including neural networks, deep learning and other fields, have not really been deeply understood.

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 can't find a research and development direction.

In the research field of simplifying "representation learning", the best way is to start from the structure, because there are more knowledge involved, and it is not enough to grasp the general direction, and it 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 Number Test Algorithm (Difficulty: A). 】

[Inspiration value: 14 points. 】

The inspiration value of 'Mission 2' has increased by 11 points compared to before, which is quite a large increase.

"This is correlation. In the computer laboratory just now, we talked about the algorithm and research direction of representation learning. The algorithm for testing Mersenne prime numbers is also algorithm development."

"The direction is the same, and there must be other correlations, so the improvement brought about is relatively large."

"There is more improvement in knowledge, but less direction of inspiration..."

"There is still a lack of knowledge base!"

Although the gift of teaching can also help to increase knowledge, after all, it is only a momentary feedback, not systematic content, and 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', and there is still too little understanding."

Wang Hao knew his weakness, and he also knew what to do.

On the same day, he went to the library of the Faculty of Science to borrow a few professional books related to analytic number theory, and then downloaded several papers on the results of analytic number theory, including a more than 100-page paper by Andrew Wiles A proof of Fermat's conjecture.

This paper is very controversial in the academic circle. Many mathematicians do not believe in Wiles' proof, mainly because of the complexity of the proof, but also because of the use of controversial mathematical theorems and methods in the proof.

However, there is no problem for Wang Hao. He does not need to verify whether the paper is correct, but just read the content of complex papers and understand other people's research and analysis methods in related fields.

This is very valuable for research.

Wang Hao started his journey of reading books.

For the next half a month, he spent most of his time reading books, either reading professional books or professional papers. It lasted for half a month, supplementing the content of professional knowledge, plus occasional teaching Bring inspiration value, but also bring research and development-related improvements.

【Task 3】

【R\u0026D project name: Research on the probability of prime number distribution (difficulty: S). 】

[Inspiration value: 24. 】

【Task 2】

【Research Project Name: New Mersenne Prime Number Test Algorithm (Difficulty: A). 】

[Inspiration value: 74 points. 】

"Task 2, 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 increase in knowledge. It can be said that the knowledge base is no longer the solution to research and development problems. Obstacles, what he lacked became inspirations.

Real inspiration, not inspiration value.

Wang Hao feels that he only needs a little inspiration, and he will know how to solve the problem.

In half a month, the people in the office have also undergone many changes, whether it is teaching, research and development, or personal life, etc.

Because Zhu Ping, who likes to gossip, is there, at least what happened in the complex can be known without asking.

Not to mention in the office.

Wang Hao didn't even care about it, so he knew that Luo Dayong had gone on a blind date, and he even knew why he was rejected.

"The woman's demands are high, and he said he was a bit dull." Zhu Ping laughed and said, "I'm relieved this time, Luo Dayong always blames me."

Luo Dayong was standing at the door of the office with an expression of lovelessness.

The others stopped laughing immediately.

Zhu Ping noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, turned her head and looked at Luo Dayong, immediately pretended not to say anything, and shouted loudly, "Reading, studying is too difficult!"

The experimental project that Yan Jing participated in made progress, and she began to be busy writing papers, so active that she worked overtime for two hours every afternoon, and 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 every time he was facing the computer, he always grabbed a handful.

The biggest change was Zhu Ping.

According to her own description, more than a dozen software on the phone have been uninstalled, including shopping, video, music and so on.

Apart from the daily gossip, Zhu Ping has been reading and studying.

This is rare.

Even if Luo Dayong was rejected by the "gossip" blind date, she found that she was really reading the book seriously and didn't care about it.

That day Zhu Ping returned to the office listlessly.

Yan Jing immediately asked, "Sister Zhu Ping, how are you doing? What did Dean Chen say?"

"That old man...agreed."

"Congratulations!" Yan Jing immediately sent her blessings.

Wang Hao and Zhang Zhiqiang were puzzled.

Luo Dayong simply explained, "She asked Dean Chen if he would take students with him."

Zhang Zhiqiang whispered in doubt, "Why are you looking for Dean Chen? Sun Guangyuan and Professor Qi Xiao are both fine."

"You don't even look at her age, how old is she? Does she have face?" Luo Dayong leaned over and whispered, and when he looked up, he saw Zhu Ping standing beside him, and immediately laughed awkwardly.

"puff!"

Zhang Zhiqiang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Wang Hao listened with his ears open, and couldn't help grinning.

Zhu Ping glared at Luo Dayong angrily, and said angrily, "I just saw that you were rejected on a blind date, so I don't care about you, or else..."

"I'm so mad! And that old man!"

Yan Jing asked, "Dean Chen agreed, are you still not happy?"

"He agreed!"

Zhu Ping said dejectedly, "I was studying for an in-service Ph. D., and asked him if he could do it directly without taking the exam, and he even said that he had to pass the exam!"

"I'm furious!"

In a typical case of failure through the back door, everyone in the office felt very speechless.

Yan Jing persuaded, "The difficulty of the in-service doctoral examination should not be high, and the school sets its own questions, so there should be no problem."

"But it's still difficult, especially the compulsory discrete mathematics..."

Zhu Ping felt her scalp tingling when she picked up the textbook, "I still thought about applying for Wang Hao's doctorate in the future, but this mathematics book defeated me."

"I read, I read, I read..." She hummed and erected the book with difficulty.

It is indeed difficult for Zhu Ping to learn new things. She will soon be thirty-five years old. Even if she has a master's knowledge base, she will not have to forget most of it in a few years. It is not easy to bury her head in books.

An in-service Ph.D. at 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 software foundation and discrete mathematics.

The software foundation is not a big problem, and the English politics is not a big problem. 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 in the test. Especially when the test is not demarcated, you must understand everything in order to pass the line 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, and all three of them expressed their opinions one after another, "If you don't know anything, just ask us."

"Good~~"

Zhu Ping felt ashamed.

Wang Hao had nothing to do, so he simply explained to Zhu Ping what he didn't understand. He really wanted to help Zhu Ping understand the difficult points of knowledge, and the lectures came with a 40% comprehension bonus, so the effect was naturally very good.

Zhu Ping found some knowledge difficulties, as long as Wang Hao explained it, he could understand it, but Zhang Zhiqiang and Luo Dayong still didn't understand it after talking for a long time.

She simply asked Wang Hao to explain more.

Wang Hao acted as a temporary tutor and explained three difficult points to Zhu Ping for nearly an hour.

Suddenly, he thought of his own research, and a prompt appeared in the system at the same time.

[Task 2, inspiration value +4. 】

[Inspiration value: 78. 】

Although the inspiration value is only 78 points, which has not reached the level of 100 points, but the problem of not being able to find the direction before seems to suddenly become clear.

Wang Hao suddenly had a good idea.

After explaining the knowledge points to Zhu Ping, he returned to his desk, opened the programming software immediately, and started programming.

Soon, I have a headache.

He wanted to write a program for sieving exponents of possible Mersenne primes using a system of significant and irrelevant carry.

Mersenne numbers refer to a class of numbers in the shape of '2 to the Pth power-1', where the exponent p is a prime number and is often recorded as Mp.

If a Mersenne number is prime, Mp is called a Mersenne prime.

The program he wants to design is to screen 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 index 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 detection in the Prime software to check whether it is a Mersenne prime number.

This will greatly increase the chances of finding a Mersenne prime.

The overall design of the program has a direction. He quickly drew up the framework in his mind, but he is not a professional programmer, and the program is relatively complicated. It will take a long, long time to write it out 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?"

"Then it doesn't matter, I still use the Prime software."

"What's the point of that..."

Zhang Zhiqiang immediately shook his head and was about to prepare something, when he suddenly remembered the Rubik's Cube Breaker from last time, and his voice took a 180-degree turn, "This is very interesting! I'm very interested!"

He also stood up solemnly, "Wang Hao, I believe in you. Let's go together!"

"Ah~~"

Wang Hao explained, "I just want to find someone to help write the program. Do you have time? It's best to find a few more."

"It's okay, leave it to me!" Zhang Zhiqiang patted his chest and said, "The graduate students and doctoral students in the computer laboratory are very busy. I'll just say it's your idea and sign up voluntarily."

"Don't worry, it's definitely right to leave this matter to me!"
