Chapter 63: The Professor
Just when Fang Yuan was worried about this matter, a professional introductory class allowed him to find a solution.
This class is their only required course for their major this semester.
The others are all subject foundations, such as advanced mathematics, university Chinese, meditation and other courses.
The main teacher of this class is their department head, Mr. Li, whose full name is Li Debang, and he has achieved the position of department head in his forties.
And the titles on his body include: professor, doctoral supervisor, director of the Computer Federation, Internet Hall of Fame inductee, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, etc.
It can only show that people are "god" level characters with both strength and skill.
Under his explanation, Fang Yuan fully understood the direction of his study in the next four years of university life.
Computer science is an amazing profession that includes both hardware and software knowledge.
It's just that because of the situation in China, students in the software direction account for the majority.
Therefore, when it comes to computer-related majors, the first impression that comes to everyone's mind is a programmer sitting in front of a computer typing code.
In fact, this is not the case, and computer-related majors have also produced a large number of hardware engineers.
Because of the system, Fang Yuan is more interested in software, but he is also interested in hardware.
If conditions permit, Fang Yuan wants to try it in both directions.
With the help of the system, he has the capital of willfulness. Unlike other students, they can't specialize in one direction.
To get back to the topic, the method that Fang Yuan thought of was to find an industry leader to endorse him, so that his pressure would be much less.
University courses are generally a large class consisting of two small classes.
Soon, the 100-minute class was over, and Professor Li was in front of the podium to answer the students' questions.
Fang Yuan was in his seat, and when the students were almost gone, he picked up his mobile phone and walked in front of Professor Li.
"Hello professor, I'm Fang Yuan, a freshman in this class, and I recently wrote a small program, and I want to ask you about some things I don't understand. Fang Yuan said to Professor Li, who was packing up his things and preparing to leave, with a correct attitude.
"Huh?" Professor Li was curious when he heard that a freshman had written a program to ask him.
"What's wrong with you?"
"That's right, professor, you see, I define this program as an intelligent voice assistant, and that's what I've done. Fang Yuan picked up his mobile phone and showed Professor Li the function of QOQO.
"You see, this is the speech recognition part. ”
"qoqo, what time is it?" Fang Yuan said to the phone with the screen off.
"Hello, little brother Fang Yuan, it's 3:27 p.m. Beijing time. A sweet voice came from the phone.
"What's the weather like outside right now?"
"The weather outside is very good, the sun is abundant, but the air quality is poor, it is recommended that the little brother bring an anti-haze mask when he goes out!"
......
Fang Yuan asked a few more questions about qoqo, and it answered them all fluently.
Professor Li was stunned by Fang Yuan's demonstration, but he reacted quickly, suspecting that the question asked by the student in front of him had been predetermined.
"This classmate, can you lend me your mobile phone? Let me try this intelligent voice assistant of yours?" Professor Li pointed to Fang Yuan's mobile phone, and Fang Yuan asked.
"Yes, teach you. ”
"Is this intelligent voice assistant called QOQO?"
"Yes, Professor, you can rename her as well. ”
"No, I'll take a look at her functions!" Professor Li couldn't believe that the program made by the young man in front of him was more powerful than the functions that came with the system.
"qoqo, can you recommend a good song for me?"
"Okay, what type of songs do you like?"
"Relaxed"
"Okay, now play for you"
As soon as the words fell, a burst of light music came out of the phone.
Professor Li still did not give up, and continued.
"This song is not good, give me another one"
"Okay! ”
Another piece of music of the same genre sounded.
"I still don't like this song, can you change it for me?"
"Okay, but you have a lot of things to do, and QoQo thinks it's not that you don't like music, but that you're playing QoQo, and if you keep doing this, you'll lose QoQo. There was a hint of blame in his sweet voice, and he said to Professor Li seriously.
Professor Li was even more shocked when he heard such a humane answer.
"You did this?" Professor Li said, pointing to his phone and looking at Fang Yuan in shock.
"yes! I've been working since I first arrived at college. Fang Yuan felt very proud when he saw Professor Li's shocked face.
"Today's young people are really amazing!" Professor Li whispered.
After experiencing QOQO for a while, Professor Li suddenly thought of something.
"What is your name, classmate?"
"Fang Yuan"
"Fang Yuan, okay, there are other classes in this classroom in a while, how about going to my office?"
"Absolutely!"
Professor Li was fascinated by the software in front of him.
After such a short period of experience, he found that this software really has the ability to learn.
Although it is not particularly obvious, compared with the pseudo-learning ability of voice assistants on the market, this voice assistant called QOQO already has this learning ability at the bottom level.
Office of the Head of the Department of Computer Science.
"Fang Yuan, sit down, with the degree of completion of your software, your problem shouldn't be a development problem, right?" Professor Li pointed to the sofa in the office, and Fang Yuan said.
"Well, now that the functionality of this software is basically complete, the biggest problem is that I don't know how to run it. ”
"Hmm!
"That's a big problem!" Professor Li thought for a moment, and his eyes flashed with recollection.
I don't know what came to mind, so I couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly he thought that Fang Yuan was still sitting in front of him, and his face straightened.
"I don't know much about this, but as a teacher, it's my responsibility to help students. ”
I have a friend who has just returned from abroad and is much better connected in the Internet industry than my teacher in an ivory tower. ”
"If you can trust me, I'll put you in touch with him, he has a lot more experience in this area than I do. ”
Hearing Professor Li say this, Fang Yuan knew in his heart that he was not looking for the wrong person this time.
"Absolutely, I always have time. Fang Yuan was very excited, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"In this case, you give me your contact information first, and I will inform you when I get in touch with the other party. ”
"1xxxxxxxxxx, my phone number, WeChat is also this!"
"Thank you, Professor Lee"
"It's okay, I think I thank you for letting me see that there are such excellent freshmen at Kyoto University. ”
"Oh, by the way, are you interested in turning the core algorithm of this program into a thesis?"
"Papers?"
"Yes, I took a look, your learning algorithm is far from the existing algorithms on the market, if nothing else. It can be published in first-line journals. ”
"Hmm, but I'm not familiar with this aspect at all?" Fang Yuan hesitated.
"If you have any ideas in mind, I'll send you your request in a moment. ”
"Okay, then it's going to trouble the professor!"
"In this way, after your paper is completed, you can come to my office to find me, and I will help you read it first. ”
"Thank you, Professor"
Fang Yuan scratched his head embarrassedly by Professor Li's words.
Back in the dormitory, the big stone in Fang Yuan's heart was half lowered.
Since Professor Li, who has been honored, has promised himself, there should be no problem with the follow-up.
In addition, regarding the matter of turning the algorithm in the program into a paper, Fang Yuan has already made a decision in his heart.
In addition to these things, the biggest thing in front of Fang Yuan was the first final exam of the university.
Recently, I've been busy with the intelligent voice assistant, and I don't have time to review, but now I finally have time to take care of this aspect of things.
