Time Travel: 2014

Eve Carley is not exaggerating the consequences.

Many people may think that algorithm research is just tinkering with computers.

How can it be so easy? This may be fine for ordinary algorithms.

But when it comes to algorithm technology with very grand application scenarios, the corresponding research work is not that easy at all.

The workload involved is secondary, but the most important thing is that this kind of work can be said to be a gold-swallowing beast.

Take the stumbling block "corpus required for language model construction" encountered before.

Although the structure involved in the English corpus is easier than the construction of the Chinese language corpus.

And there is full cooperation from Oxford, Harvard and Yale universities in linguistics.

Eve Carly feels that if their team finally completes the corpus, it will require more than a million dollars.

Not to mention other completely unfamiliar technical fields such as NLP sentiment analysis.

In short, algorithm research is a gold-eating beast.

Thinking of the almost continuous cooperation with Oxford, Harvard and Yale universities, Eve Carly became even more pessimistic.

In fact, the reason why these universities cooperated with their team's previous research in linguistics.

To a large extent, they just want to get a share of Google’s investment.

Now that the sponsor is gone, it is unknown whether these universities will choose to continue cooperation.

What should we do with future technological research?

Eve Carly couldn't help but feel sad.

Ewald Cherry noticed Eve Carly's mood: "Hey, be optimistic! Please don't be so pessimistic! We are not completely helpless! Didn't I just mention it? This matter is not so complicated, the facts Is an invitation letter enough?"

Eve Carly: "What do you mean?"

Ewald Cherry: "Have you ever noticed the age of the applicant in the patent?"

Eve Carly asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Ewald Cherry: "I saw in the patent filing on the Patent Office website that LIN HUI from the far Eastern country is only 18 years old this year?"

Eve Carly: "Is there any problem with this age? Do you want to use his age to question his patent fraud?

There is no shortage of geniuses in the computer field.

In fact, I had my first patent when I was 18!

I still remember the name of that patent, which is called "A New Method for Text Judgment, Screening and Comparison".

This is also an algorithm patent. Although this patent is very backward from the current perspective, it is completely incomparable with the patent obtained by LIN HUI.

But this is enough to show that age is not linked to achievements.

I suggest you don't make a fuss about your age, it's easy to make yourself humiliated.

Age is just a parameter used by geniuses to paralyze their opponents. "

Ewald Cherry: "I'm not questioning the genius of that Lin Hui.

But think about what you were doing when you were 18? Probably in high school.

I infer that the 18-year-old genius LIN HUI on the other side of the ocean should also be a high school student now.

That being the case, why don't we directly send an invitation letter to invite him to study at MIT? "

Eve Carly felt her eyes brighten for a moment: "This is indeed a good idea. If LIN HUI can really come to MIT, patents will not be important. He himself is the greatest wealth. But you How can you be sure that he must be a high school student? What if he has a graduate degree or a higher level degree?"

ps: ...As for some readers’ questions, please respond.

Why only develop the ios version... I really don’t blame the author for this. The domestic “lone wolves” who actually do Android development are not doing what everyone thinks of Android development. Most of them are also doing Google play, which is the one who is blocked from the outside. Software development for app stores. As for the development of domestic APPs, there are generally very few people who develop domestic Android apps alone. In the domestic environment, let alone software making money, users will think you are wrong if you don’t give money.)

Also, don’t push me too hard on the plot arrangement. The author also wants to update tens of thousands of dollars a day, but when he actually puts the pen to paper, he will find it difficult to make progress. It is not easy to do it quickly, unless the plot is pushed forward and the mind is chasing behind. I can probably code quickly. I feel that there is nothing wrong with the progress. At most, I can code as much as I have time and be done with it.
