Qianjiang University has always been a strong school in science and engineering. This has been the case since the previous dynasties, and even the former Qing Dynasty, and has not changed for more than 100 years.

Whether it is literature, history, politics and law, medicine, or agriculture, they were all brought in by the merger of the other three universities in the province in the 90s of the last century when colleges and universities expanded enrollment. To put it mildly, the treatment of those majors at Qianjiang University is a bit like they are not biological.

In the past 20 years, this kind of historical view has formed a convention: that is, the presidents are basically from the school's most powerful academic strength of the School of Mathematics or Physical Sciences; It's either computer or mechanics. Occasionally, there is a president who does not slowly climb up from these academies, and it is not unless he is parachuted in from Peking University and Tsinghua University.

President Pan is a typical example, he was the director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence in the 80s, became the dean of the Academy of Mathematical Sciences in the early 90s, and then became the assistant to the president, vice president, and president step by step. When President Pan was the dean of the Academy of Mathematical Sciences, Dean Cai was only a department head under him, so the two could be regarded as a friendship between the two departments.

The principal is also from a mathematics and computer background, so on this occasion, he naturally shares more common language with Academician Qiu and Dean Cai, and the topics are more harmonious. The group chatted as they walked all the way, and when they walked out of the terminal, they seemed to have formed a small circle, talking about topics that non-math majors couldn't understand at all.

The car sent by the school to pick up Academician Qiu is an extended version of the car, not an SUV, but it also has three rows of seats in the front, middle and rear; President Pan naturally gave up Academician Qiu to the back row, and he and Dean Cai sat in the middle row, and the front co-pilot left Academician Qiu with a white bodyguard.

The car went away, and the deans and professors who picked up the other groups saw this posture: yes, after a run, they took a chance to shake hands and take a group photo. I didn't talk about three sentences from beginning to end. Let's take each man's chariot and follow behind.

……

Academician Qiu is a person who has seen the world, and he has only a little bit of small achievements of the younger generations, and he doesn't care about it.

Not to mention that it is just the byline of the third author of a few articles on IEEE Artificial Intelligence, even if it is the first author. There are thousands of papers in journals of the same level all over the world every year, and Academician Qiu's energy is only a few percent of them at most.

Although Professor Jeff Hinton from Toronto had a little friendship with Academician Qiu, it is impossible for Academician Qiu to keep chasing other people's papers one by one, so although it has been out for more than a week, Academician Qiu still does not know about it.

The car drove all the way, and Dean Cai and Academician Qiu communicated harmoniously, and did not mention the topic of "the contribution of Hatsune input method to deep learning algorithms in artificial intelligence", lest Academician Qiu think that their institute was boasting, just picking some academic achievements of the lineage to talk about. Fortunately, the School of Mathematics of Qianjiang University is full of dry goods. Very informative, not afraid of no talking points.

However, Dean Cai did his homework after all. When he came today, he brought two IEEE Artificial Intelligence journals in his bag, and when he got into the car, he deliberately opened the briefcase and spread it out in half. President Pan, who was sitting next to him, saw it at a glance, and when Dean Cai and Academician Qiu were discussing the cutting-edge achievements of academics, President Pan pulled it over and flipped it over.

Periodicals. Several pages of coated paper are wrinkled, as if to create a bookmark effect. As soon as President Pan flipped through it, he naturally turned to the position of those papers.

The signed suffix of "QianJiang-University" immediately caught the attention of President Pan. President Pan was the director of the university's Institute of Artificial Intelligence in the 80s, and he was very kind to the results of this area. Taking advantage of the interruption of a topic between President Cai and Academician Qiu, he asked a question.

"Xiao Cai, is your institute doing a good job in artificial intelligence now? This one...... Gu Mojie. Is it a newly recruited scholar from Xiaoqian? How did you get in touch with the deep algorithm research group at the University of Toronto? ”

The small money mentioned in President Pan's mouth is now the director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, half a level lower than Dean Cai. With the inertia of President Pan's thinking, the school has made achievements in the field of artificial intelligence, which must be the contribution of the counterpart research institute.

"University of Toronto", "Deep Learning Algorithm Research Group". These two words jumped into Academician Qiu's ears and finally reminded him. Before Dean Cai could answer President Pan's question, Academician Qiu interjected into the topic: "Is it Professor Jeff Hinton's topic?" ”

President Pan looked at the name and asked with a smile: "That's right, why, is Academician Qiu also familiar with Professor Jeff Hinton?" ”

"Originally, it was just a little bit of friendship. I called a few months ago, and it was also a coincidence at that time, and I noticed that there are currently two software in China that seem to be very consistent with the kind of architecture he has been pursuing in terms of design ideas, and remind him to pay attention to it. I didn't expect it to come out so quickly, and I don't know if it has anything to do with what I told him at the time. ”

Literati pay attention to "one-word teacher", even if a person writes a poem, others only change one word for him, as long as the change is good, it is also a teacher. Academician Qiu was just a phone call to Jeff Hinton and pointed in a direction, which is not a big deal. But President Pan and Dean Cai are about to praise each other at the moment, no matter how small the matter, the meaning must be said in a big way.

Naturally, the work of praise should not be neglected.

"No wonder they broke through so quickly, it turned out that Qiu Lao ordered him. I don't know what the two pieces of software that Qiu Lao reminded him to pay attention to at that time were called? Maybe it's right. ”

"Let's call it Hatsune Input Method/Hatsune Translation. I'm also old, and I don't use new things in this area, I noticed it a few months ago when I was chatting with President Zhu of Hong Kong Technology. ”

Dean Cai: "That's right - these two software were developed by a student of our university, and Professor Jeff Hinton should have noticed it, took the initiative to contact him, and continued to study in depth on this basis, so he gave a third author." ”

Academician Qiu was finally a little surprised: "What? Hatsune Input Method was developed by the people at your school? Still a student? Isn't the copyright of this thing in a private enterprise, and it should have nothing to do with the school, right? ”

Dean Cai smiled and threw out the prepared cliché: "Are we also responding to the idea of 'transformation of production, education and research integration' put forward by the school and the education department, some talents are tightly bound and are not easy to produce results." Since it is a software that can be used commercially, it would be good for us to provide technical support and cooperation, and leave the rest to the market to solve. What's more, that student is not from our Academy of Mathematical Sciences, we can only help technically, and nothing else can be done......"

Academician Qiu's interest was finally aroused, and after thinking about it, he asked, "In the past two days, I have a discussion with outstanding teachers and student representatives, will there be this person?" ”

Principal Pan immediately packed the ticket: "Yes!" How not. ”

jokes, even if they were not arranged at the beginning, Academician Qiu's words naturally immediately became "this can be had". If you don't have it, you have to have it.

Academician Qiu waved his hand: "It's good to have, but don't be particularly tossed for me." Since we pay attention to the transformation of 'industry-university-research integration achievements', we should take a real look at it, and what can you hear just sitting in the lecture hall? When I returned to China this time, I saw that the domestic part was still rigid.

In the United States, how closely are Stanford and UC Berkeley integrated with the industry in Silicon Valley? When I returned to China, I saw that it was either the school-run Tongfang and Ziguang, or the school's Fangzheng; There are very few that are truly market-oriented and work closely with universities after they have started their own business. In this regard, it is your Qianjiang University that is ahead of Tsinghua University and Peking University. ”

Principal Pan listened to so many words all the way, and he felt that this thief was very angry.

……

At the Xixi Campus, students of the '03 Law School are taking a big class on "The History of Chinese Legal Thought".

Of all the courses in a law school, the reputation is the most intriguing, second only to the politics class.

No matter what major college students are in, there is a common course called "Fundamentals of Law" in their freshman year. Many students majoring in foreign languages are not careful, and tend to regard the "legal foundation" as the same thing as Ma Zhemao. At this time, one of the most common counter-attack mantras used by teachers out of law school was: You are especially a political class! Your whole family teaches politics lessons!

In the eyes of a person who teaches law, it is a great shame to be regarded by laymen as "similar to teaching politics": we study the law because of logic, reasoning, and self-consistency. Are you a layman on a par with the kind of class that doesn't make sense at all and can only be crammed and memorized? Is there more insult than this?

People who are interested in studying the Fa want to learn a little bit of the real skills to make a living in the future, so naturally they are not interested in those classes that have been ******** and have undergone plastic surgery. In the second semester of the freshman year, all the classes, and this "history of legal thought" is the least valued by the students.

The teachers who teach this kind of class are generally also loser related users who can't pass the judicial exam, and they really have no other ability to make money, so they can only do knowledge transfer-marketing.

Gu Mojie had only taken this course once for most of the semester. This week, he couldn't do anything, not because he was afraid that the teacher would hang him down, but because the school wanted to clean up the school spirit, meet the inspection, and grasp everything strictly. No matter how time-wasting the class, I have to finish it patiently.

The class was only halfway through, and Director Liu Hongcao of the School of Education and Engineering of the Academy didn't care about interrupting the class, so he rushed in directly, walked to the podium and whispered a word or two to the teacher who was teaching the class. The teacher's face was a little unkind, but he was helpless, so he turned his face and let Liu Hongcao do it.

"Gu Mojie, Class 2 of Level 03, hurry up and prepare, there are school buses and others outside, go to the Zijingang campus."

Gu Mojie was stunned, stood up, and looked at the teacher. The teacher turned his face away and said in a stiff voice: "Director Liu has something serious to ask you to go, so you can go - don't make a fuss to the rest of the students, let's continue the class." ”

It's a pity, where can the field still be suppressed? All the students in the academy knew that today was the day when the school received Academician Qiu's inspection, and Gu Mojie was called away at this moment, which immediately attracted countless speculations. The teacher of the history of legal thought bluffed for a long time with a whip, but he could not suppress the whispering voice. (To be continued.) )
