The opening was first introduced by Liu Qing and Wang Xiaochuan to the development of the company, as the first Chinese search engine in the domestic market, Ant is still somewhat attractive, now the most needed is technical reserves, Google Stanford University as its own talent pool and back garden, which is also their fundamental gap.
This shortcoming has to be made up for through various methods, attracting turtles and other professionals to join can only be one of the channels, only through their own research and development reserves can the core technology in hand, and then improve innovation, otherwise there is only a dead end, let alone compete with Google, the target competitor for international market share.
"Let's get started." Chen Bo likes to do things directly and avoid too much politeness, and usually science and engineering practitioners rarely like red tape.
The six scholars handed over their papers one by one and then explained their research directions and application markets, and he directly glanced at them a few times and handed them to Wang Xiaochuan. This is also something that can't be helped, it's really too obscure, it's all technical terms, and I basically don't understand it.
Wang Xiaochuan, a graduate student at Tsinghua University, is not so unfamiliar with these professional terms, and explains them quietly while flipping through them.
Sure enough, it is the University of Posts and Telecommunications, and the first four of the six people are related to communication technology. It's not about competing with Huawei and mobile for business, which has little significance for the Internet. Although several scholars held their glasses and said saliva in front of them, Chen Bo had already given them a PASS card in his heart.
Of course, PASS here does not mean pass, but is directly filtered.
The fifth expounds a basic mathematical model, and the three people listen to it drowsily, but still still do not escape the fate of being killed.
There was only one lone seedling left at the scene, about 30 years old, who looked a little wooden, and he pulled the bangs on his forehead before he began to speak, "My name is Ma Weisong, and my research direction is natural language processing, a branch of artificial intelligence. β
Artificial intelligence? This is interesting, Chen Bo became interested and began to cheer up. Artificial intelligence sounds quite high-end, and the real implementation is indeed very technical, and it is an important branch of computer science, artificial intelligence is not human intelligence, but allows machines to understand, simulate and even extend and expand human intelligence.
The application is also very extensive, the search engine is actually a kind of artificial intelligence, which is an interaction between people and machines, input instructions, process instructions and finally display the processing results, and natural language is another small branch in the field of artificial intelligence.
"Where are the market applications of the future?" Chen Bo asked deliberately.
"Human-computer interaction allows people and machines to have a logical dialogue, and it can also abandon input devices to complete the input and output of instructions, freeing up hands." When it comes to Ma Weisong's profession, he naturally answers meticulously.
"And what is your planned budget?"
"In the first year, we need about 5 million, after all, we need to purchase all kinds of equipment and so on. But the next year it wasn't so much......"
When it comes to the issue of budget, I am a little unconfident, probably because I often hit a wall, so I will have this performance, and it is understood that the University of Posts and Telecommunications does not have a course on artificial intelligence. Even the problem of the origin of students in the laboratory has to be seconded from other disciplines, and he can't do much work by exhaustion alone.
"Okay, I see. We will carefully review and consider your paper and respond to you as soon as possible. Chen Bo did not make a decision on the spot, but like an interview, let them go back and wait for news, although he already had the answer of choice in his heart.
Sitting in the car on the way back, Liu Qing asked puzzled
"You should have directly favored that Dr. Ma, why did you let him go back and wait for news?"
"What do you think?" Chen Bowan smiled, did not answer positively, and asked rhetorically.
"Is the cost too high, and you want to cut the price again?" Liu Qing Road.
"I think, maybe Mr. Chen thinks that this paper is not perfect enough, and he has to take a good look at it when he goes back!" Wang Xiaochuan gave another answer.
After listening to the answers of the two, Chen Bo had a feeling that he wanted to jump out of the car, they are all high-level intellectuals, why can't they be simpler?
"Well, in fact, I'm afraid that other people will be embarrassed, and how disappointed I am to be rejected in person! It's not that they're not good enough, they just don't meet our needs, how can they be as complicated as you think, and the psychology should be a little sunny! β
The two of them were still a little ashamed, and they didn't keep silent when they thought about such a simple question.
"Internet technology is inseparable from the support of artificial intelligence, and its application will become more and more extensive in the future. Xiaochuan, you have compiled some information about the research topics of artificial intelligence, data mining, and virtual realization in these universities in China, and report them to me when the time comes. Although we don't have Stanford or Berkeley, we can bite elephants to death if there are more ants! β
Ant Search is the company he is most proud of, and it is also what he cares about the most, if he has to make a choice, then he would rather give up QQ and online games. Because search engines represent the cutting-edge technology of the Internet, while others are oriented by product content and operation.
You can almost connect the whole world through a search engine, and QQ is just a carrier with a high degree of stickiness.
Since it is a technology company, it is necessary to start from the technical aspect, and a good operation can ensure the initial traffic, but the future will always rely on the fist of technology to speak. Now the scene of ants being surrounded by many search engines is not optimistic, if it is not a certain first move, it is really uncertain, Baidu's technical strength is very strong but lack of traffic, Yahoo directly played a trick grafting products are also advancing by leaps and bounds in the short term. Other portals are constantly pumping fresh blood through their own diversion.
returned to Ant Company, Chen Bo first found Shi Zhiwen, who was in poor spirits.
"I have a task for you now, but I don't know if you can handle it?"
Chen Bo deliberately sold a pass, which stimulated his nerves.
"What task? Is it challenging, isn't it exciting? It's like Mission Impossible? As soon as Shi Zhiwen heard that there was a mission, his mind was wide open, and he thought that he was going to be sent as an agent.
"What kind of brain are you?" Chen Bo patted his head angrily, and was amused to see his neck shrinking. "The company is going to set up an artificial intelligence research laboratory with your alma mater, aren't you not interested in your current work? Then get involved as a company representative, and by the way, finish your credits, and don't even need a graduation certificate! β
For Shi Zhiwen, this is really a matter of killing two birds with one stone, and he has indeed delayed a lot of homework for the work of the ants. Although he is a genius, he is also a genius with serious biases, and many cultural classes have to be retaken with lanterns hung high, and he just took advantage of this opportunity to make up for all the things he left behind.
And returning to campus can also allow him to adjust his mentality, Chen Bo really doesn't plan to give up such a talent.
"Artificial intelligence? We don't have this curriculum in our school, huh? Shi Zhiwen touched his head and said.
"Even if you don't, it doesn't prevent you from doing research, so you can say if you're interested, right?"
"Of course, it's a very challenging job. I know that there is a great person at Jinling University, who graduated with a doctorate last year and has been promoted to associate professor this year. It's a bunker, if only I could go to graduate school with him! β
"What's his name? What topics are being studied? β
"Zhou Zihua, machine learning and data mining, his papers can be found in many computer science journals." Shi Zhiwen seems to have paid attention to the field of artificial intelligence for a long time, and he has been talking about it like a few treasures.
"Even if you want to go to graduate school, you have to get your current bachelor's degree. Dr. Ma Weisong's research direction is natural language processing, so you should study hard with him first, and after you graduate, I will find a way to let you go to Jinling University. Although Chen Bo doesn't know what method he can use to get this Zhou Zihua to admit this student, the first thing to do is to coax him back to school first.
"Really? This is what you said, can you not regret it? Shi Zhiwen said excitedly.
"When did I lie to you?"
"That's the same, it's not enough to just admit it verbally, we have to pull the hook!"
Shi Zhiwen's words made Chen Bo cry and laugh, this is really a child, what age do you still play this kind of little trick, but seeing his sincere face, he had to stretch out his little thumb.
"Pull the hook, hang yourself, and you won't change for a hundred years...... Hey, what's going on behind it? Well, it's the puppies that deceive! So be it......"
Chen Bo concluded a naΓ―ve contract with him in this way, and successfully coaxed him into the future thief ship.
Three days later, Ant and the University of Posts and Telecommunications officially reached an agreement to jointly establish Ant Lab for natural language processing. The representative here is not only an employee of Ant but also a third-year student at the school, Shi Zhiwen, who follows Dr. Ma Weisong for scientific research.
All the research results are divided between the school and the company, and Ma Sonsong has the right to authorship, as for the agreement between the school and him, it is unknown. After graduation, students in the lab will be offered a job at Ant Company, and their study time will be converted into years of service in the company at a ratio of 1:1, which can attract outstanding students to join the company to the greatest extent.
This is just one of them, there is another math lab, this is the mathematician who made Chen Bo and them drowsy last time, and the application of ant colony algorithm is very extensive. This includes job scheduling, power systems, network routing, life sciences, and even military decision-making.
There are no longer a few people who study this direction, Chen Bo only needs him to conduct research on relevant algorithms for Internet search engines, which will also help improve the efficiency and search results of ant search, and there is no need to do such extensive research, he has neither plans to engage in the power grid nor the armed forces.
And Zhou Zihua, the cow of Jinling University in Shi Zhiwen's mouth, has also been contacted, this person is going to come to Yanjing to attend a meeting recently, and he has agreed to meet and discuss in detail at that time.
