Time Travel: 2014

After all, no matter how magnificent the things in my mind are.

Until these things are implemented, we can only look at the moon in the water and flowers in the mist.

In actual implementation, we can only do it step by step.

It is difficult to get it right in one step.

For example, Lin Hui previously thought of exchanging some text data annotations for money.

Similar to selling, it is still difficult to use data annotation for large-scale monetization.

Where should I find buyers who can consume hundreds of thousands, millions or even larger amounts of annotated text at once?

In fact, Lin Hui is a potential buyer who knows about extremely large-scale annotated text.

But it is similar to knowledge in the narrow sense. Even if he knew the potential buyers, Lin Hui would not be able to sell them.

Being too proactive can lead to being passive.

It seems the best thing to do is to use a broker, a middleman.

Implicitly, he revealed the news that Lin Hui had a large amount of data annotation information in his hands and was interested in monetizing it, to potential buyers, and then pulled the strings from them.

But where to find such a middleman?

Lin Hui didn't have an ideal answer to this question.

Could it be that it depends on Eve Carly?

…

Looking at Eve Carly who just asked the question with a curious face.

Lin Hui felt that it would be difficult for a pure person like Eve Carly to be qualified for such a job.

Lin Hui even felt guilty for having such thoughts.

Lin Hui should indeed feel a little guilty.

Because his thinking just now seemed to have left Eve Carly in the cold for a while.

But Lin Hui wouldn't let Eve Carly wait in vain.

Lin Hui believed that the next conversation he had with Eve Carly was destined to be a profound exchange.

It will be very rewarding for Eve Carly.

The fact was just as Lin Hui expected.

It was indeed a profound conversation.

This conversation was fruitful for Lin Hui.

I say this was a fruitful conversation.

It was because Lin Hui got two very good pieces of news from Eve Carly.

One of them is IBM's recent decision to spend huge sums of money to create a new, more efficient and smarter text summarization tool.

Then IBM is also a potential customer of the summary algorithm that Lin Hui developed before.

After all, it involves text summarization.

Many times, not having a powerful algorithm is basically equivalent to saying goodbye to "efficiency".

As for the "intelligence" IBM is seeking.

The algorithm developed by Lin Hui is even more capable.

After all, they are also technicians who came through time after the artificial intelligence of later generations was rampant.

It would be embarrassing to show the algorithm to others without some smart tags.

Although objectively speaking, Lin Hui's previous algorithm also had many aspects of artificial intelligence.

But how to say it?

As long as peers can support you, a bicycle can be transformed into a motorcycle.

Many times you may not be required to be very strong.

As long as your opponent is good enough, you will be the best one.

Anyway, in this era, the algorithm that Lin Hui tinkered with before is considered to be intelligent.

If Lin Hui's algorithm is second in intelligence in text processing, it will not be first.

Lin Hui still had this confidence.

In short, the text processing algorithm Lin Hui previously carried is very consistent with IBM's requirements in terms of efficiency and intelligence.

Perhaps it was because he felt that the algorithm Lin Hui had previously developed was more in line with IBM's requirements.

It was Eve Carly who informed Lin Hui of the news.

Lin Hui does not reject IBM as a potential partner.

First of all, IBM is definitely not short of money.

But money or not is not the point of the issue.

Money will be important to Lin Hui's future career.

But compared to money, some resources that are difficult to buy directly with money are also very attractive to Lin Hui at this time.

IBM is a solution giant in the old computer field/Internet field.

Such a giant has a lot of resources in its hands, which is exactly what Lin Hui is interested in.

If we really want to cooperate, Lin Hui feels that there is still a lot of room for cooperation with IBM.

But thinking about this now is somewhat wishful thinking.

It’s hard to say where things will go in the future.

After all, the horoscope has not been written yet.

It's not very useful for Lin Hui to think too much now.

Everything will be discussed after further contact.

Or we can wait until IBM shows corresponding sincerity.

To put it bluntly, there is no possibility of cooperation with IBM.

The situation now presented by things is also developing in a direction that is beneficial to Lin Hui.

Google was in the game before, and now IBM is in the game.

Two giants have entered the game, and the directions they are involved in all involve content related to the algorithms Lin Hui has developed before.

How honored?

This sentiment doesn't seem to be needed yet.

Under the call of these two giants.

Lin Hui feels that there will definitely be more giants getting involved in this in the future.

The future is promising.

The most convenient way for giants who are accustomed to buying and selling to get involved in text summarization is to directly merge existing technologies.

In this case, Lin Hui's ready-made summary technology is undoubtedly their best choice.

Lin Hui believes that in the future, more than just Google will be interested in the technology Lin Hui has developed previously.

In this way, it has become a seller's market.

This gave Lin Hui the right to wait for the price.

Of course even so.

Lin Hui is also unlikely to sit down and raise the price.

Lin Hui is very cooperative and sincere.

Lin Huiman hopes that through this cooperation, he can find another international giant with no conflicts in his development path as a long-term partner.

We have already had a good cooperative relationship with Pingchun before.

Why is Lin Hui still looking for an international giant?

In fact, there is nothing to doubt about this.

Even based on the most basic risk management principles.

Also know that you should not put all your eggs in the same basket.

Although the cooperation between Lin Hui and Pingchen is pretty good now.

But there is no feast that lasts forever.

It's just because of the interests that we got together temporarily.

Lin Hui is not sure how far he and Pingchen can go in the future.

Put aside these business risks.

In terms of purely technical aspects.

Although Lin Hui does have a lot of room for cooperation with Pingcheng in terms of software development.

But when it comes to some of the more radical technologies in machine learning algorithms, Lin Hui is not sure Apple will be interested in these things.

Even in the previous life, Pingchun's progress in machine learning did not seem to be slow.

But objectively speaking, Apple is often a little behind in the top level of machine learning.

Although Pingchun can often take advantage of the situation even if it is only half a beat.

For example, in the OCR text recognition direction, Pingcheng's movements were slow and it seemed like there was no movement at all.

But as soon as he entered the game, he immediately fell silent.

Although as the saying goes, the winner is the one who laughs last.

From a user's perspective, it's a good idea to strike later and then take action silently.

Because this approach can avoid frustrating users.

Users are not required to pay for advanced and unstable technology.

But as a partner, Pingcheng's slow-paced behavior is really unacceptable to Lin Hui.

You know, the technology that many Lin Hui transfers is technically "half a beat" faster than ordinary opponents.

If Pingchun still sticks to his "mellow" character and puts off everything, letting his opponent only officially enter the game after trial and error.

If Lin Hui still cooperates with Pingchen, how can he happily make money?

If things go on like this, Pingchun, who prefers to strike later, will most likely be alienated from Lin Hui, who advocates the value of taking the initiative.
