Time Travel: 2014

My girlfriend's relatives actually came to visit me.

This made Ni/Kedaloisio even more depressed.

Depressed, Nick D'Aloisio began to think:

How does Nanfeng APP achieve such high news summary efficiency?

After thinking about it, Nick D'Aloisio felt that the problem must be with the algorithm.

However, algorithms are what Nick D'Aloisio is not good at.

Nick D'Aloisio has a little bit of experience in programming.

But he never really delved into algorithms.

In front of the vast ocean of algorithms.

He is not even a child picking up shells on the beach.

In fact, I made the news summary software earlier.

Nick D'Aloisio doesn't quite understand it when it comes to the core algorithm.

Nick D'Aloisio has nothing to be embarrassed about.

After all, he is just a software engineer.

If software engineers can independently perform algorithm work.

So why do we need dedicated algorithm engineers?

However, when Nick saw the Nanfeng APP in the App Store, there was no note on who was responsible for the algorithm.

Could it be that the algorithm part of Nanfeng APP was done by the developer alone?

This somewhat surprised Nick D'Aloisio.

This is simply unbelievable, at least beyond Nick's understanding.

Just NLP algorithm?

Is this the real strong man? ! !

Nick suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

In addition to feeling powerless, Nick D'Aloisio also feels increasingly shallow!

But after all, I am not willing to give in!

Being defeated is not depressing, but the most depressing thing is that the loss is unclear.

To answer the doubts in my mind.

Nick D'Aloisio still sent a distress email to his partner and Iseryou's algorithm cooperation team about the situation he encountered as soon as possible.

It is said to be a distress email, but in fact Nick D'Aloisio mainly expressed his accusation.

Is the summary algorithm that the Yisyou team said is the world leader?

What's going on now that the efficiency has been easily crushed several times?

I deeply feel the unreliability of Yiseyou team.

After Nick D'Aloisio briefly stated his troubles

Seek help from MIT, Stanford University and many other universities in the United States by email.

Despite sending an email asking for help, Nick D'Aloisio was still confused.

It's not the kind of confusion like "drawing a sword and looking around and feeling confused" where there is no opponent.

It's the feeling of confusion when an illusory ideal is suddenly pulled down by ruthless reality and crashes to the ground.

Look at the name of the developer of Nanfeng APP 808080.

Nick D'Aloisio didn't know why.

I searched on Google but only found # 808080, which corresponds to gray.

And gray was exactly how he was feeling at this time - dark, dull and gloomy.

Such a depressing name.

Nick D'Aloisio felt more and more that the developer of Nanfeng APP was specifically trying to manipulate his mentality.

But there was nothing Nick D'Aloisio could do about it.

Friends may betray you, love may leave you.

But the algorithm won’t do it. If the algorithm doesn’t do it, it just won’t.

If an algorithm is good, it is good; if it is not, it is not good.

The world of algorithms is extremely cold, and the only rule in this world is survival of the fittest.

The capable are on top and the weak are on the bottom.

Unfortunately, the algorithm Nick used before was the weak one that was eliminated.

…

Nick's task at Yahoo is to be responsible for the improvement of Yahoo News Summary software.

It's good now, I haven't made any achievements at work, let alone

There is also a software on the market that makes news summarization more efficient.

what is this?

Nick felt like his job at Yahoo was in jeopardy.

Although a large company like Yahoo does not lack idle people.

But his strong ego made Nick not want to stay for a second longer.

Then again, if not at Yahoo.

Where will he go from now on?

Nick D'Aloisio suddenly remembered the project invitation that Professor Jules of Princeton University sent him not long ago.

This project invitation involving recurrent neural networks was originally rejected by him.

Now Nick D'Aloisio is suddenly rummaging again.

Compared to jumping left and right between work and school.

Maybe returning to his studies with all his heart is what he should do.

Besides, working as a part-time worker at Yahoo is not as interesting as hunting in college.

Ah, no, Nick D'Aloisio mainly thinks it's a boring job.

Learning is the best way to fill the emptiness inside.

And after all, he has 30 million US dollars now, so there is no need to work.

Speaking of $30 million, Nick D'Aloisio suddenly felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, he figured out news summarization software long ago.

Otherwise, let alone 30 million US dollars, even 30,000 US dollars would probably not be available.
