Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On August 25th, the fifth day of the conference, the free report session of the conference began. This conference has a total of 20 1-hour reports and 175 45-minute reports. These are all invited reports. Some mathematicians are invited by the conference. Speeches, but for the four-year grand event in the mathematics community, such a small number of reports is definitely not enough to satisfy everyone.

Therefore, each conference has a setting that everyone can apply for a report spontaneously. After the conference is approved, a branch venue will be set up for the sponsor to give a speech. Anyone who is interested in this topic can listen to it and then communicate on the spot.

Generally speaking, there are hundreds or even thousands of such spontaneous application reports after a mathematician conference. Meng Qian also applied for a report this time. The content of the speech was naturally artificial intelligence, and it passed the review of the conference. His speech was scheduled for the afternoon of the 26th, and on the afternoon of the 25th he attended a report on quantum mechanics, and the speaker was James.

James' report was at two o'clock in the afternoon. He came to the stage on time. After taking a look at the scene, he started his speech directly. His first page of PPT was about Schrödinger's cat, which is the most well-known in quantum mechanics.

Schrödinger's cat is about keeping a cat in an airtight container with a small amount of radium and cyanide. The decay of radium has a probability. If the radium decays, it will trigger the mechanism to smash the bottle containing cyanide, and the cat will die; if the radium does not decay, the cat will die.

According to the theory of quantum mechanics, since the radioactive radium is in the superposition of two states of decay and non-decay, the cat should be in the superposition state of the dead cat and the living cat. This is the superposition state in quantum mechanics. A good example of understanding the microcosm, after all, the observation of the microcosm is not accessible to the general public.

From the perspective of quantum mechanics, everything in the microscopic world is not simply a definite state, just like this cat that is dead and alive, if you want to know whether the cat is dead or alive, you can only know if you observe it. This is quantum mechanics Another important concept of wave collapse.

A complete observation can lead to wave collapse, so that a definite state appears. A common macroscopic example of wave collapse is that when you look up at the sun, the sun is the sun; It's much more complicated. It's amazing, and this is also the attraction of quantum mechanics. It really makes people want to stop and even get nervous.

The next PPT given by James is about the debate between Einstein and Boer. Einstein firmly believes that microscopic particles have a definite state before being observed, but Boer firmly believes that microscopic particles have a certain state before being observed. Must be an undecidable complex state.

"When Boer refuted Einstein, he said that without observation, the state cannot be determined, and it cannot be considered to have a certain state. But in the same way, without observation, how can Boer think it is a superposition state or a superposition state? What about the evolution of , because quantum mechanics proves the wave-particle duality, and confirms the superposition state?

Then can I also think that when not being observed, there is a special determinable state of microscopic matter?

So I think the point of contention should not be around the state. "The content after James talks about how to find an intermediate substance that has no quality and no ability.

James’ speech was very in-depth. After the report ended, there was a long debate on the scene. After all, quantum mechanics has been undergoing quarrels and new genres have been emerging since its birth. Even quantum theology has become a genre. This The people in the school are still the world's first-class mathematicians, but the results of their research are really theism.

The report lasted for more than three hours due to controversy and discussion. After the end, James came directly to Meng Qian, and Meng Qian now understood James' intentions. Meng Qian said before that he was in trouble with quantum mechanics, and James Use the most direct behavior to tell Meng Qian his strength in this field.

Moreover, any speaker will disclose information, so James' resume is placed in front of Meng Qian. Although Meng Qian actually knew it a long time ago, he still has to act as if he just found out. The great James who fired IBM."

"Mr. Meng knows me?" James asked in surprise.

"I did hear about it before, but I heard that you went undercover, so I didn't expect to meet you here."

"I went to IBM for financial security." James seemed to be recalling the past, with a displeased face, "but they never respected science."

"Money and scientific research are indeed a difficult thing to balance." Meng Qian made a helpless expression.

As a result, James asked directly, "Has Mr. Meng found this balance?"

"Not yet." Meng Qian shook his head, "But I'm working hard."

Meng Qian didn't secretly observe James' expression, but was only responsible for his own performance. After all, James came from an intelligence agency. Although he was doing technical work, it's good to have more minds, but no matter how powerful an intelligence agency is, it can't be counted. Meng Qian is a reborn person.

With the advantage of rebirth, Meng Qian can always speak to James' heart.

"It's getting late. If Mr. Meng doesn't have a beautiful woman to meet, why don't we have dinner together?"

"Okay, let me take you to eat Yanjing Roast Duck. I haven't tried Yanjing Roast Duck this time, so I'm a bit greedy."

"That's great."

Meng Qian's strategy for James is also very clear, he keeps things quiet and quiet. This kind of person would rather just be a friend and wait for him to come out to help him when he needs it in the future, rather than poach him to the company too eager for quick success. He can be fired. Microsoft and IBM can also fire Dafeng Group.

In the evening, the two had a very pleasant meal. Meng Qian delicately handled the relationship between the two through the materials read by later generations and his personal memoirs.

The next afternoon, James also came to Meng Qian's artificial intelligence report. Before the official start, Meng Qian roughly counted the number of people. There should be more than 200 people, which is not a lot but not a lot.

It can be seen that artificial intelligence is still quite attractive. As for the people present, Meng Qian basically doesn't know him, but the two people he only knows except James are big shots.

One is academician Wu Wenjun, a leading Chinese mathematician who became an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1957. He just won the highest national science and technology award in 2000. Meng Qian was really shocked that he would come to listen to him Report.

The appearance of another foreign woman made Meng Qian feel that although it was reasonable, it was still amazing, because she was Justin Cassel. Meng Qian couldn't remember the exact time, but she was the chairman of the Artificial Intelligence Committee of the World Economic Forum. , and also served as the chairman of the World Economic Forum's Future Computer Global Future Council.

She has an extremely resounding nickname, Queen of Artificial Intelligence.

"As expected of a gathering of gods." Meng Qian said inwardly, but quickly adjusted his state, and started his speech sideways. What Meng Qian talked about today was naturally the deep learning algorithm.

It took a full hour and a half. This is the most in-depth explanation of the deep learning algorithm by Meng Qian since his rebirth. Because the core patent application has been filed and the paper has been published, it is time for Meng Qian to lay out the development of artificial intelligence.

Same as yesterday, Meng Qian's speech aroused strong reactions from the scene. The difference is that yesterday James' quantum mechanics caused more controversy, and today more questions are asked, because deep learning algorithms are not just a matter of understanding the principles. Determine what he could have done better.

More often it is uninterpretable, just as Justin Cassell puts forward a very sharp question, "How much data testing have you done with this model?"

"I think it's over an exabyte if all you want is an overall number."

Justin Cassell understood what Meng Qian meant, so he didn't ask any further. After the whole report was over, Justin Cassell took the initiative to ask Meng Qian for his contact information, "Mr. Meng, my name is Cassell, This is my business card, I don’t know when you have time, I want to communicate with you about your deep learning algorithm alone.”

Meng Qian glanced at her business card, raised his head and was about to speak, but suddenly rushed off the stage with a stride, because he saw the 83-year-old Wu Wenjun walking towards him.

"Academician Wu."

"You know me?" Wu Wenjun was still a little surprised.

"Of course, Academician Wu is the bright light in the hearts of us mathematics people." Meng Qian praised him, but he was sincere.

Wu Wenjun looked at Meng Qian with a look of relief, and asked gently, "Are you going to open source your new algorithm?"

"For the time being, I only intend to authorize, not to open source. The specific strategy may be fine-tuned according to the later situation."

"Okay, okay." Wu Wenjun patted Meng Qian's hand meaningfully. Meng Qian couldn't help but wonder what Wu Wenjun meant until he noticed that he was looking at Justin Cassel.

Meng Qian probably guessed something.
