My Return to Life

Wen Yeren was half-shrunk in the down jacket, and suddenly felt Fang Nian's gaze.

There was a moment of bewilderment.

Then the messy thoughts in my mind suddenly stopped.

Fang Nian said calmly, "How will you know if you don't try?"

Wen Ye quickly captured the key information.

Wen Ye stretched out his hand to brush away the scattered strands of hair, and said calmly.

"Senior Cheng, student Fang Nian, what research are you discussing, can you tell me?"

After finishing speaking, Wen Ye casually looked at Fang Nian from the corner of his eye, observing Fang Nian's expression.

Seeing that Fang Nian lowered his eyes and stopped looking at himself, he was quietly relieved.

Facing Wen Ye's curious eyes, Cheng Qian pushed down his glasses and smiled: "It's a big problem in cognitive philosophy in the classification of philosophy. My tutor led me to set up a project team with some classmates..."

With a look of interest, Wen Ye asked in a pleading tone: "Then, what is the big problem?"

Cheng Qian smiled: "Wen Xuemei is also interested in philosophical issues?"

After a pause, he replied: "This question is very complicated to explain carefully, and it is a set of systematic theories."

Wen Ye pursed her lips and smiled: "A simple explanation, I see that you are very engaged in chatting, and I am a little curious."

Cheng Qian also laughed, glanced at Wen Ye, and said in a self-deprecating way: "What's going on with you today, you are all interested in these untimely research."

Then add a sentence: "Student Fang Nian is okay, he was more interested in cognitive philosophy early in the morning, and he was also interested in cutting-edge issues;

I remember Wen Xuemei, you are studying administrative management, whether it is epistemology, philosophy, or framework issues, they are all irrelevant. "

Wen Ye didn't rush to speak.

Sure enough, Cheng Qian went on talking on his own.

"In this way, I will give you an example to illustrate. I have to declare that this is not a simple-sounding example, and it is a bit convoluted."

Wen Ye nodded quickly: "It's okay."

Cheng Qian glanced at the room, and then said: "For example, there is an apple over there, and it is red."①

"If we regard this as a proposition, the human mind is to find another apple to see if it is red, and so on. If there is no counterexample, we will be more convinced that the proposition is correct."

"If we say that we have verified 100 apples, 99 of which are red, we will perform the default reasoning, namely:

When someone tells you that something is an apple, you will immediately think that it is red. This is the human cognitive process: induction-verification-application.

Or judgment-verification-application. "

After a pause, Cheng Qian continued: "But the machine's verification idea is different.

It needs to find out all the equivalent forms of this proposition first, and then start to verify. It needs to use a large number of identification cases, and finally use the equivalent form to judge. If there are more identification cases, it will be easy to produce:

'Something that is not red is not an apple', which in turn supports 'Nothing that is red is an apple', which is equivalent to 'all apples are red.

'

And this is fine in machine logic.

Going back to our human thinking just now, if someone tells us that something is an apple, we will associate it with red;

However, we humans don't think that everything that is not red is not an apple..."

Finally, Cheng Qian concluded: "Our current research direction is to anthropomorphize the machine's verification ideas through experiments."

"It can also be regarded as a research direction of artificial intelligence. Our team and mentors all believe that this theory is valuable, but it does not mean that this theory is correct and can be fruitful."

Although Cheng Qian's example sounds a bit convoluted and not that simple, Wen Ye's comprehension ability is not a problem, and he understood after a little thought, and said with a little excitement.

"Then, can I understand it this way, your current project research direction is smart phones, or the future of smart computers?"

Cheng Qian smiled and shook his head: "The word future is too big, so I dare not say that."

"It can only be said to explore the possibility of making machine cognition more intelligent."

Wen Ye nodded half-understood: "I just heard you talking about endless loops, what's the reason?"

Cheng Qian replied: "The problem of project funding, although it is a problem of epistemology, will eventually be realized through machines and requires a lot of experimental verification."

"In fact, there is a misunderstanding here. Most people think that professional research like philosophy is purely theoretical and does not require actual experiments..."

As he spoke, Cheng Qian showed bitterness.

This is really a big misunderstanding.

The research direction of the project, especially the research direction of cutting-edge issues, is to realize the theory, how can it be possible not to do experiments.

Since it is an experiment, how could it be possible to stay completely on paper?

In a hurry, research scholars in the philosophy department like Cheng Qian even have to learn mathematics, programming and other messy things, and then realize their own ideas by themselves.

Fang Nian, who had been listening in, was also a little emotional. The depth of his study now was half an entry level.

"That's why I suggested Brother Cheng to give it a try and get some sponsors."

Cheng Qian spread his hands and sighed, "Actually, it's not like I haven't tried it before."

"People with capital expect to see definite results, but this is not building a house. It can be done if you say it. It is difficult to say that theoretical research will be correct."

Fang Nian also sighed and said: "Indeed, theoretical research does not necessarily produce results, and it is difficult to convince sponsors on this point."

"..."

For a while, the atmosphere was a little sad.

At this time, Wen Ye understood a little bit, but he didn't know how to speak.

But Fang Nian looked at her suddenly, as if he just remembered: "Sister Wen Ye, I remember that you seem to be an intern in a big company now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ye nodded immediately, and said with a surprised look: "Yes, some departments in our company seem to be more interested in research projects."

Fang Nian snorted: "Then do you have a chance to help Brother Cheng?"

Cheng Qian also reacted, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't, don't, I'll take it, I'm just complaining casually."

"Sister Wen, don't lose your job just because of this impossible thing."

Then he said helplessly: "Student Fang Nian is just coming up with a bad idea."

"I know you are very interested in this, and you really want to be researched, but even I, including my mentor, don't have absolute confidence..."

Fang Nian smiled: "This is not a bad idea, try it, maybe there will be another choice."

Wen Ye also said: "Senior Cheng, in fact, our company encourages employees to recommend projects. It's just a proposal, and it doesn't affect anything."

Cheng Qian raised his eyebrows, and said with some uncertainty: "Really?"

Wen Ye affirmed: "This is still false."

"..."

Cheng Qian fell silent: "..."

…………

Fang Nian, who stopped talking, glanced at Cheng Qian, a little bit embarrassed.

If Cheng Qian is the leader of the project and uses this mentality to attract sponsors, he will never succeed in this life.

Because if you don't give confidence to the other party, who will have so much money that there is nowhere to throw it?

Of course, according to Fang Nian's knowledge, it was Cheng Qian's mentor, a famous professor, who led the project.

From Fang Nian's point of view, since this professor dared to organize this kind of project, he should still be sure.

For example, as Cheng Qian said, it's just that he doesn't have absolute confidence.

Although in Wen Ye's view, choosing the direction of academic research is Fang Nian's own way of integrating into Fudan University.

If Fang Nian knew it, he would not deny it.

But Fang Nian's purpose is not just that.

In the past month or so, Fang Nian had a lot of exchanges with Cheng Qian.

How can I say Cheng Qian, he is willing to help his juniors and younger sisters solve their knowledge confusion.

Is a typical academic student, not too much side thoughts.

Therefore, Fang Nian learned many things smoothly, including that graduate students and doctoral students in the Department of Philosophy do not only do pure theoretical research.

There is also research exploring solutions to cutting-edge problems.

As for the part he was most interested in - the research direction of Cheng Qian's team project, Fang Nian was almost asking for advice.

So in fact, in the middle of the month, Fang Nian had already planned to contribute his own money to become this 'sponsor' in the form of investment.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the change.

Other things happened in the middle, distracting Fang Nian's energy.

Today, by chance, I ran into Cheng Qian, and Wen Ye happened to be there, so Fang Nian thought of solving this matter by the way.

because--

This is the third way out that Fang Nian found for himself.

Yes, the third type.

In Fang Nian's view, this would be a type of retreat, not a one-off.

He is far from rich, but he has a little money now.

Investing in some university research projects that you know will be popular in the future is very likely to achieve a worry-free future.

This is only one aspect.

On the other hand, Fang Nian is also contributing to the development of cutting-edge technology.

If you don't calculate the benefits, but only use the business concept to calculate, you can make a steady profit without losing money.

Could there be a better retreat than this in the world?

That's why Fang Nian signaled Wen Ye with his eyes.

Fortunately, Wen Mi's comprehension ability is not bad. Not only did he guide Cheng Qian to explain the research project from a popular level, but he also made up an excuse for his investment intention under his prompting.

Fang Nian has to say:

expert!

A natural secretary.

…………

After a while, Cheng Qian suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the time, got up quickly, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have something else to do. I'm here to find a reference book, so I have to go first."

"Thank you Wen Xuemei, I will ask my supervisor for a project plan, and I will have to trouble you to hand it over then."

With a smile on his face, Wen Ye said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands, so don't be so polite, but don't be too disappointed if the promotion doesn't succeed."

Hearing this, Cheng Qian quickly said: "How could that be? Let me put it this way first. I have to go first. I'm really sorry."

Hearing this, Fang Nian got up and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Senior Cheng was busy, so I wasted your time."

Cheng Qian quickly waved: "No, no."

"..."

Wen Ye also got up and waved: "Goodbye, Senior Cheng."

Watching Cheng Qian quickly go to the bookshelf to find a book, and then leave quickly with the book in his arms.

Fang Nian closed the book, glanced at Wen Ye, and said with a smile, "I wonder if senior sister Wen Ye can buy me a cup of tea?"

Wen Ye curled her lips in her heart, and said with a smile on the surface: "Okay."
