For three days on New Year's Day, Chen Xu was basically running the building materials market with his father.

For example, floors, wall coverings, toilets, lamps, doors and windows, tables, chairs, sofas, etc., in addition to household appliances and equipment, they are also selected, which is booked in Jingdong's offline physical store.

In fact, there is a guide throughout the process, plus his father checks, it doesn't matter if Chen Xu goes or not, but this gives him a sense of participation in building a new home.

In addition, while his father was running the building materials market, he really had to sign up for a driver's license with his mother, and the two of them were fighting to learn theoretical knowledge every night, so he also bought a desktop computer for them to practice.

On the morning of the second day, I returned to Zhonghai, and it was almost 12 o'clock when I arrived.

I went to the company of Dehong Building first.

The company recruited two more editors, and now there are a total of 7 people, including Yang Haidong.

After checking the daily operation of the company, Chen Xu went back to school after there were no problems.

As soon as he arrived at class in the afternoon, Ji Qinglin came to him and said excitedly: "Hao Chen Xu, do you know that the New Year's Day virus was cracked by our Zhonghai Xingjian Network Security Company, and now the whole network is boiling!"

The engineers of this company are really TM, and they can track down the data packet address in front of so many mobile phone security providers. ”

Chen Xu said "disdainfully": "It's just shit luck! It's really true that the engineers of 360 and Tengxun are vegetarians, and they just don't take it seriously." ”

As soon as Chen Xu finished speaking, Liu Zhuoran, a four-eyed boy sitting in front of him, turned his head and said: "Chen Xu, what are you talking about, you have been learning computer science for a few years? Finding the contract address in the vast ocean of data, is this something that ordinary engineers can do? This is a god-level data security master!"

Ji Qinglin nodded in agreement, "Not bad." This engineer is definitely not an ordinary person, I am afraid that he is three points more powerful than those people in the Ministry of Information Security. ”

Liu Zhuoran sneered: "Don't think about how great those people are, it's just some old antiques in the computer industry, and all you have in your hands are some outdated things." Now that computer technology is changing with each passing day, combined with artificial intelligence, to say something unpleasant, their real level may not even be able to catch up with Zhang Hao!"

Zhang Hao is the "god" of computer this year, and has participated in many computer competitions in China Overseas and even the whole country on behalf of Dongda. Although I didn't get a ranking, my level was much better than that of the average student.

Ji Qinglin said: "It's a bit exaggerated to be inferior to Zhang Hao, after all, they are all well-known figures in the computer industry, and the theoretical level must still be there, but after being pampered for a long time, it is not clear how much hands-on ability there is." ”

Liu Zhuoran didn't continue to argue, and said: "By the way, the AI interest group is recruiting members, how about we sign up together." ”

Chen Xu said strangely: "It's almost the New Year, why do you suddenly get an AI interest group? Also, do you know AI?"

"I don't know what I'm afraid of, let's apply first!" Liu Zhuoran said with a smile and said: "Don't look down on this interest group, tell you, this is the ticket to the Global AI Challenge, with a prize of 1 million US dollars."

First of all, the interest group must be a five-person group;

Then, after layers of selection and elimination, they competed with a total of 60 teams from major universities across the country.

The top three finishers are required to qualify for the Global Regional Squad.

After that, he competed with hundreds of teams from more than 30 countries around the world.

The challenge's domestic sponsors include several major group companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, Toutiao, DreamWorks, Sohu, and Meituan, as well as dozens of other technology companies.

Foreign companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Netflix, and other global companies are all involved.

If you can show your face in this challenge, it is not a dream to get offers from these global companies. ”

Ji Qinglin looked yearning when he heard this, but he shook his head and said: "As far as the development level of artificial intelligence in our school, let alone international and domestic, don't even think of the top three in Zhonghai." ”

"No matter, sign up first. In case you get on TV, it's also a plus point in the profile when you look for a job in the future, isn't it, but we are people who have participated in the Global AI Challenge. Liu Zhuoran laughed as he spoke.

After a pause, Liu Haoran said, "Hey, Chen Xu, I'll help you sign up too." ”

Chen Xu said: "It needs to be assessed." ”

"Well, yes! It's just a few simple answers, and it's not difficult. ”

Chen Xu said: "Don't go." ”

He is writing an academic paper, and then he has to guide Xiaobai to speed up the speed of analyzing electronic rays, and strive to break through the ultimate code of natural language processing as soon as possible.

Liu Haoran said: "Oh, let's go play together." I heard that there is a friendship with the business school, and there will be a lot of beautiful women who will come to volunteer. If you don't go, I'm embarrassed to go alone. ”

"Really?" As soon as Ji Qinglin heard that there was a beautiful woman, he immediately came to his senses, and then pulled Chen Xu and said, "Then help us sign up." ”

"Oh, I'm not going to ......"

"That's it......"

……

The next morning, there was no class, and Chen Xu wrote an academic paper in the dormitory of Zizhu Garden.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Ji Qinglin called and asked him to come over to participate in the group enrollment and answer questions.

Chen Xu didn't want to go, Ji Qinglin kept urging over there, so he had no choice but to agree.

The admissions assessment was held in the large conference room of the complex building.

What Chen Xu didn't expect was that there were so many people who signed up for the competition, at a glance, there were hundreds of people on the scene, from freshman to third, I am afraid that not one-third of the entire department came to participate.

But think about it, now that artificial intelligence is so hot, as long as the level of algorithm engineers is the same, and the minimum salary starts at 30K a month, who doesn't want to brush their faces on this kind of national competition and mix up some qualifications?

The site was moderated by two software engineering professors, and several other graduate students from the Department of Computer Science were responsible for the review. And that Cen Gangcen Senior Brother was also on stage.

Chen Xu entered the conference room through the back door and found Ji Qinglin and the others. I saw more than a dozen classmates along the way.

"Why are you here, we're coming soon. Liu Zhuoran pulled Chen Xu to sit down and complained in a low voice, and then handed him a book, "Now, hurry up and take a look, it's our turn to wait." ”

Chen Xu glanced at the book in his hand, and almost didn't laugh out loud, it turned out to be "Gödel, Escher, Bach - the culmination of differences".

At this moment, a senior brother on the stage shouted, "Ji Qinglin." ”

"It's here!" Ji Qinglin, who was sitting on Chen Xu's left hand, stood up and replied loudly.

"If so, in what direction would you like to study in the future?"

"Unmanned. ”

"Oh, so do you know what technologies are involved in autonomous driving?"

"It mainly includes sensor technology, which inputs information from the external environment into cloud data;

Road map technology, based on map data for the planning of action paths and modes;

Vehicle control technology, vehicle drive and output action ......"

Ji Qinglin seems to have done his homework, and when it comes to the knowledge of unmanned driving, it is methodical, and people who don't know still think that he really likes unmanned driving.

"Okay. Next...... Liu Zhuoran. ”

Liu Zhuoran was similar to Ji Qinglin, and also said that he liked unmanned driving, and then the senior brother on the stage asked another similar knowledge point.

Although Liu Zhuoran stammered a little in his answer, he finally gave a complete narrative.

"Okay. The next one is...... Chen Xu. ”

Chen Xu, like most ordinary people, belongs to the kind of transparent person in the class, doesn't like to be in the limelight, has ordinary grades, looks ordinary, doesn't play basketball well, sings badly, has no girl crushes, and even has only a handful of times when he has been named by the teacher to answer questions in class since he was a child, if he disappears one day, his classmates will think for a long time before they remember that there is such a person.

is such a person, who is rarely named in front of the public today.

"Well, here we are. Chen Xu stood up and replied, a little nervous in his heart.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the large conference room looked at each other. Several classmates in the same class stared at his side face for a moment before remembering who he was.

"If so, in what direction would you like to study in the future?"

Chen Xu fixed his mind and said, "Natural language processing." ”

The senior brother on the stage asked, "Why, do you have any thoughts on natural language processing?"

The senior brother on the stage did not embarrass him, and asked very general questions, just say a few random sentences, and then praise the business prospects of natural language processing for two sentences.

However, what Chen Xu thought was that there were so many people at the scene, I can't be too ashamed, and I must answer seriously.

"Because there is a very strong connection between AI and the development of new languages, there has been a clear trend in the last few decades to incorporate new discoveries into new languages," he said.

One of the keys to understanding and constructing intelligence lies in the continuous development and improvement of language.

So I wondered if it would be possible to design a programming language that would tolerate some kind of inaccuracy, and a translation program that would translate it to a lower level?

Its purpose is to guess the programmer's intentions.

There are probably two possible scenarios for such a resilient language......"

“……”

“……”

“……”

Chen Xu gushed endlessly, saying what he had thought and learned during this time, and the professors, senior brothers, and classmates on the stage were basically confused at this time.

In the front, they can barely understand it, but in the back, it is completely like listening to a book from heaven......
