Time Travel: 2014

Huang Jing continued: "Many top schools in the United States have to take care of the children of the rich and powerful and the descendants of their alumni associations, but at the same time they must obey federal laws and state legislation, and they must also admit blacks and other races normally.

As a result, when the number of enrollment does not change much every year, the result is to squeeze the enrollment scale of other groups. The most severely harmed at this time are international students, and the most severely harmed international students are international students from Asia/Asia.

After all, in the United States, rhetoric such as ‘Asians are test machines’ and ‘Asians lack innovation’ are quite popular.

This type of statement is probably the most overt and politically correct form of racial discrimination in the United States.

All in all, if international students from Asia want to enter top universities in the United States, they must have much higher scores and much stronger strengths than others.

However, this is only for general cases, and those with strong capital can completely ignore these rules.

Even for Asian students, it can be a little trickier to do it in person.

However, it is not difficult to find some local American legal teams or more professional lobbying teams to operate on your behalf.

In the United States, as long as you have money and are willing to spend it, you can do almost anything you want.

Although in your current situation, you obviously don't have to worry about admission qualifications to prestigious schools.

Even when it comes to academics that ordinary people think are very advanced, if you want to go further, there is a shortcut by spending money. "

Seeing Lin Hui's thoughtful look, Huang Jing thought her words had an effect.

So Huang Jing then said to Lin Hui: "If you feel that studying is boring. As long as you are willing to make a certain academic contribution, it is actually easy to obtain the corresponding degree.

Even by donating directly to some projects, it is not impossible to rise to the top and directly study for a doctorate in the teams of many Nobel Prize winners.

You must know that in the United States, where Nobel Prize/Fields Medal bosses are everywhere, many times after these bosses receive such glorious awards, in addition to bonuses.

The only preferential treatment I get is just one more parking space, which is not like in China...

Although some Nobel laureates have projects that are highly technological, their projects are not practical or commercial enough.

Many projects of Nobel laureates are also strapped for funds. It can be said that the landlords have no surplus food.

In short, many Nobel Prize winners are actually very short of money, so these bosses will recruit some backdoor students to make money.

After all, if you have enough money, it is not impossible for you to directly become a tutor and help you with your graduation thesis.

In this case, even if you want to go further academically or even reach the top in one step, it is effortless.

Even if you don’t join the teams of these Nobel Prize-winning experts, you can achieve similar effects by getting letters of recommendation from some prestigious academic figures...

European and American universities still attach great importance to letters of recommendation.

The adoption of a recommendation letter system is conducive to forming a more homogeneous academic community.

Let people who enter this circle consciously be the gatekeepers of this circle.

The formation of such an academic community is not entirely about forming cliques.

Rather, it is because a community helps everyone work in a common direction and is conducive to the development of a certain school of thought in a certain discipline or field.

The above statement refers to an academic community at a young age, but can actually be extended to the entire social class at a larger scale.

This is another deep reason why European and American schools attach great importance to letters of recommendation, making full use of the interpersonal resources of the elite.

In the final analysis, it is still a circle culture. In short, it is easy to get some letters of recommendation from Daben, which will help you to achieve success in your academic career..."

Huang Jing is telling the truth, and you can indeed act according to this method.

Lin Hui also has the ability to do things. To be honest, the wealth Lin Hui is about to acquire can almost sponsor half of the US presidential election.

It's actually easy to get a degree.

Many people would even be willing to give Lin Hui various degrees.

Although this is possible, there seems to be no need to do so.

Anyway, Lin Hui felt that if he had the strength, there was no need to go around the bush.

What Lin Hui cares more about is academic appeal, academic voice and corresponding authority, not just the degree itself.

In fact, Lin Hui hopes that domestic universities can have this appeal, so that there is no need to bother, but unfortunately...

Seemingly seeing that Lin Hui was not interested in these contents, Huang Jing no longer insisted on suggesting Lin Hui take some shortcuts in terms of academic studies.

Huang Jing participated in the academic conversation when Lin Hui and Eve Carly first met.

Huang Jing knew that the research conducted by Lin Hui and Eve Kali on text summarization algorithms mainly used artificial neural networks as a framework to represent data and process and adjust a large amount of data, so as to form a usable algorithm model.

Although she was not very clear about the technical details of what Lin Hui and Eve Kali had done, Huang Jing felt that a person like Eve Kali, who was not low in academic attainments, was willing to lead the horse, whip and saddle for Lin Hui. She wanted to come to Lin Hui. The technology developed is also of great value.

And as a computer-related practitioner, I have never eaten pork and have seen pigs running away.

Huang Jing also generally knows that research directions related to machine learning are the most cutting-edge technologies in the field of computer applications.

In other words, if Lin Hui is not weak in technology and has the support of professionals, he can still achieve academic achievements even if he does not take advantage of opportunities.

And it can be expected that Lin Hui's achievements will not be small.

After all, when it comes to cooperation on many projects before, Lin Hui's character of doing well is very impressive.

Having said that, some things are not entirely subject to one's will.

Huang Jing still couldn't help but remind Lin Hui: "Lin, I know that a powerful person like you is not very willing to take shortcuts, and always wants to rely on strength to speak.

However, ordinary people are not guilty, but they are guilty of carrying a treasure. Have you ever thought that although your skills can push you to a certain academic height?

But also because you are indispensable to a certain technology, it is easy to be deliberately restricted and difficult to achieve good results? "

Lin Hui said: "Are you saying that in the future, the instructor may deliberately prevent graduation or grant the corresponding degree?"

Huang Jing said: "If you can detect that Tao is deliberately blocking you, it only means that the instructor is not proficient in his business.

It's easy to deal with this kind of overt attack, but it's difficult to deal with it when it stumbles you secretly. It's easy to hide from an open gun and hard to prevent it from a hidden arrow. "

Lin Hui said: "Don't worry, Eve Carly has told me many things related to American academics before, I will pay more attention."

Huang Jing said: "This is exactly what I am worried about, that Eve Carly seems to be a very pure person.

The impression she conveys to you about the American academic circle is very likely to be all majestic and upright, but in fact it is not the case.

It’s not that she is deliberately misleading you, it’s just that everyone looks at things from a different perspective, and naturally gains different things.

Like Eve Carly, who is obsessed with academics, there are some things that she may not care about very much, so she has never noticed them.

But as someone who has only dabbled in academics, I still need to remind you that there has never been an ivory tower in the true sense of the word, no matter where it is.

Maybe these words slightly shatter the beauty in your heart, but I don't want a big ship like yours to be trapped by chains. "

Lin Hui said: "The ships trapped by chains are just because they are not big enough. It is impossible for a truly giant ship to be trapped by chains."

Huang Jing said: "Do you mean that you think that if you achieve enough epoch-making achievements, you will break through all obstacles and have everything naturally?

This is theoretically possible, but it is only theoretically. Many times the value of the things you create is not equivalent to having the corresponding value after you declare it.

Its ultimate value is deliberately measured by others.

What should you do when someone deliberately undermines the value of your content?

Otherwise, others will simply be confused about what you are doing.

Its corresponding value is that when you produce epoch-making results and are not understood by your contemporaries, you will be stuck on dry land. "

Huang Jing seemed to be afraid that Lin Hui wouldn't understand, so she said bluntly: "As the saying goes, there is no need to blame someone if you want to. In short, there will always be someone to point fingers at those who are deliberately restrained."

Lin Hui asked: "Are there no academic achievements that are not subject to any constraints?

In other words, what kind of paper will hardly be constrained? Or is it difficult to impose constraints? "

Huang Jing pondered for a while and responded: "Of course there is, for example, the conclusion can be verified without any academic threshold.

For example, although some academic achievements are very important, it is actually very easy for the public to verify the corresponding conclusions.

At this time, it is impossible for the academic circle to ignore the voices of society and intervene forcefully.

But how can such results be so easy to obtain? Anyway, I don’t know what we computer scientists can tinker with that can be easily verified by the public. "

Huang Jing thought for a while and then said: "But even if there is, it was only a few years ago. The threshold for computer research has been getting higher and higher in recent years.

Many of the latest achievements have to be criticized by relevant practitioners for a long time, let alone being easily verified in society..."

Listening to Huang Jing's words, Lin Hui nodded thoughtfully.

Is it a paper that can be easily verified and understood by society?

Although he is not very grounded in computers, to be honest, Lin Hui really knows a lot about the results of being grounded.

However, being grounded in results does not mean being grounded in the process. You still have to act at the right time.

Lin Hui: "I know about this, and I will pay more attention to it."
