Eating with Hindon's grandchildren wasn't as bad as they thought, they seemed to be normal people most of the time, just a little strange in their way of looking at some things.

As long as you don't talk about related things, you feel the same as a normal person.

Because I was in an in-house restaurant where academic conferences were held, the topic always turned to scientific research and the research and development field that I am good at.

Wang Hao talked about Jeffrey Hinton's Turing Award, and talked about the research on neural networks and artificial intelligence deep thinking.

Jeffrey Hinton pursed his lips and recalled seriously, "Actually, I first did this research because I saw talking robots in movies. ”

"At that time, I wondered if I could develop a machine that could instill my mental memories into it, so that I could achieve immortality to a certain extent."

"Unfortunately, I slowly discovered that it was unlikely that this technology would be developed, at least until the end of my life."

He sighed regretfully.

Wang Hao thought about it and said, "Have you ever thought about a question?" If it's just instilling mental memory into the machine, it's not you, it's just a programmed copy of you. ”

"Of course, I know very well."

Jeffrey Hinton nodded in approval, and then said, "However, my family can talk to me who has the same memory and the same thinking, and continue from generation to generation. ”

"It seems that you value family affection." Wang Hao said, "But have you ever thought about another question, I mean, maybe your children and grandchildren will hate you?" They probably don't want to call a machine program with fixed code as 'grandpa'. ”

"Maybe." Jeffrey Hinton thought hard.

He remembered that his son did not have a good relationship with him, but fortunately there was a smart Helen, but he did not like to take care of children.

Helen swallowed what was in her mouth, and suddenly expressed her opinion, "Let me speak to a machine, I can accept it, provided that it is my assistant, at least on an equal footing, and not when I introduce it to people, I say that it is my grandfather." ”

"It would be embarrassing, and I must have hated it. Jeffrey's idea was ridiculous, fortunately he was seventy years old, and the idea was doomed to come true. ”

There is really nothing to say about an unachievable scientific research topic.

Wang Hao was interested in Helen, he felt that this little girl had a very peculiar thinking, and asked with curiosity, "Helen, aren't you interested in eternal life?" ”

Helen took a sip of her drink, put the cup back in place, and said unhurriedly, "I'm only 15 years old, so of course I'm not interested in that. Even if you have an infinite life, you may be taken by some kind of accident one day in the future, such as a traffic accident, a natural disaster, a robbery, a shooting, or even a murder due to a personal vendetta, and many similar accidents occur every day. ”

A teenage girl can have this kind of awareness, which is enough to make others look up to it.

Helen continued, "I thought about it, and although I don't care about eternal life, I would be happy if I could maintain my youth and beauty for a long time. ”

"Are you very surprised?"

"You've already said that a better appearance can increase the range of mate choices, and only with a better mate can you give birth to better offspring." ”

"I didn't say ......"

Wang Hao was no longer able to complain, but still asked with curiosity, "Then you are choosing a match...... On the male side, wisdom should be very important, right? ”

Helen nodded affirmatively, "Excellent genes and excellent genes can be combined to ......"

Wang Hao hurriedly interrupted and asked, "If there is a person with superior intelligence, his wisdom surpasses that of Einstein, Boolean, Newton, and so on, all known history and all human beings today, but they are ugly, and what I say is ugly, has reached the limit of what you can imagine." ”

"This person comes to you and wants to spend his life with you, will you agree?"

Jeffrey Hinton, who had been silent for a long time, gave a thumbs up to Wang Hao, and then looked at Helen with anticipation, wondering how Helen would answer.

Helen was silent.

She was obviously thinking seriously at first, and then grabbed her hair with her hand for a long time, falling into a strong state of entanglement.

Consider?

It's ugly, it's unimaginably ugly, it's dirty, it smells, it's horrible-looking, it's like a monster...... How can such people live together for a long time?

Don't think about it?

Isn't that just like Jeffrey, driven by physiological hormones?

……

Wang Hao put down the cutlery and left with a smile.

He was in a very good mood.

The gloom with Hinton's grandson was all gone, and when he thought of Helen's last entanglement, he felt a sense of relief bursting out of his blood.

Although the other party is just a teenage girl, her views on some things are really strange.

This good mood lasted until the next day, and he even walked into the venue with a smile and shook hands with everyone who took the initiative to say hello, all with a sincere smile.

When they came to the first row, Hinton's grandfather and grandson came over together.

Jeffrey Hinton greeted him with a smile and Helen glared at him angrily, as if she had seen some villain of the century.

This change in attitude made Wang Hao feel a little inexplicable, and he could only attribute the problem to the fact that the little girl's mind was difficult to figure out.

This is the second day of the conference.

Wang Hao entered Hall 1 because his report was in Hall 1.

The number of scholars in Hall 1 has increased significantly, and the entire lecture hall has been completely packed.

Many people came for Wang Hao's report, and some people came late and didn't have a fixed seat, so they simply found a place in the back row or in the aisle, obviously there were not enough seats in Hall 1.

The organizers also expected this situation, and they added three rows of seats to the open space at the back, and there was nothing else to do.

The morning report started at 9 o'clock, and only two invited judges were arranged to make work reports.

The work report is able to control the time, and it is unlikely to delay the report that affects Wang Hao, the two invited judges on the stage, are professors from top universities in China, knowing that everyone is not interested in their work, they are waiting for Wang Hao's report, but they are still very calm to make a report.

The two reports were not very long, about twenty minutes each, and with the interludes in between, the time had already reached ten o'clock.

Wang Hao stood on the report platform.

When he really stood on the lecture platform, he couldn't help but sigh at the mental quality of the two professors just now, not to mention the review team on both sides, there were three Turing Award winners in the first and second rows, one Fields winner, and two academicians of the Academy of Sciences who could be recognized.

In the face of so many bigwigs in the fields of mathematics and computer science, it is already remarkable to be able to calmly make a work report without seeing the slightest tension in the process.

Wang Hao felt a little nervous, he turned his head to look at the other side, and there were several reporters with cameras filming, including reporters from Central News.

"Maybe it's in the news, right? Provided, of course, that the report goes smoothly......"

He pondered.

The lineup of on-site judges and listeners is really luxurious.

Wang Hao took a deep breath and waved to the staff, and the prepared content was reflected on the projection screen, and he also said, "Everyone should know that the Rubik's Cube Cracker is a software that can quickly calculate the steps of the Rubik's Cube restoration." ”

"It contains the latest algorithm I have studied, I call it the effective and irrelevant carry screening algorithm, as you can know from the name, the core of this algorithm is to eliminate invalid and chaotic carry to achieve carrying."

"But it's not a method with a definite composition, it can be understood as a framework, a logic, or a direction of thinking."

"Then let's start with the structure of the whole system......"

Wang Hao made a brief introduction, and then started the argument from the internal event relationship of the system, and then quickly moved on to the mathematical operation of the event relationship.

Step by step, from shallow to deep.

At the beginning of the argument, many people in the room were able to follow the train of thought, and then the difficulty gradually increased, and some people began to feel complicated, but they still listened very carefully, hoping to catch up with the progress.

One is that because this algorithm has been applied to software, the future application prospect must be very extensive.

The second is also very novel at the beginning, for the study of algorithms, from the relationship between events and events, it seems to cut into the content of complexity theory, and then it is transformed in a mathematical way, which makes everyone feel very interesting.

This is a very unique way to cut in, just look at the beginning to know that the whole algorithm must be very ingenious.

Everyone listened attentively, including the expert judges in the front row, but also the others in the back, and only the voices on the lecture platform could be heard in the room.

This is probably the quietest report since the meeting.

As the content of the report unfolded, some people began to lose track of their thinking.

The difficulty of the effective and irrelevant carry algorithm is still very high, mainly because the content involved covers several fields, and some of the arguments are very brain-burning, and it feels like it is going around and around, and it is not easy to understand them all.

Even if you have enough knowledge, it is difficult for your brain to keep up with the train of thought if you turn a little slowly.

This is still Wang Hao's explanation is very detailed, and he will explain it repeatedly when he encounters difficulties, and even has a 40% understanding bonus, otherwise most people will not be able to keep up with the train of thought, and it would be good to have dozens of people who can really understand.

Wang Hao's way of giving a lecture is very similar to the state of giving a lecture to students.

This made many people in the audience very grateful, such as other scholars making reports, many of them will not consider whether the audience can keep up, as long as someone can keep up, the judges can understand and understand, and other top scholars can understand and understand, it is already possible.

Even if Wang Hao's explanation is very detailed, there are still more than half of the people who can't keep up, and the number of people who can't keep up is even more.

Some people skip the content they don't understand, and understand it as a definite formula or theorem, so that they can barely keep up with it in the future.

Among these people, including Ma Wenjun, who was sitting in the middle, he came more than an hour in advance for Wang Hao's report and found a middle seat to sit down.

The reason why Ma Wenjun came so early and so actively to listen to the report was, of course, not interested in the report itself, but just hoping to find the problems with the report.

Although the hope is very slim, he still has to work hard to do it, because he doesn't want to see Wang Hao become famous, since the contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, he naturally hopes that the other party will be unremarkable.

It would be best if you could find the problem in the report.

This is a report that has attracted international attention, and the number of scholars who have come to report for it is more than 1,000, only to hear a wrong report?

This would make the meeting a joke.

Wang Hao's report will also become a joke in academic circles, and it will definitely be talked about for a long time.

Of course.

Ma Wenjun also knows that the report is unlikely to be a big mistake, because the algorithm of the argument has been applied to the software, and the ability to quickly calculate the Rubik's Cube restoration steps is proof.

If there is really a big mistake, there is no need for him to question it at all, and the review team and other top scholars will definitely be able to point out the problem on the spot.

However, Ma Wenjun is still unwilling, he is very serious into the report, it seems to be more serious than others, since the beginning of the report, he has not even said a word, just listening and understanding seriously.

When explaining the problem of entering the 'bounded system', Ma Wenjun's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought about it, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a gleam when he connected it to the analysis of complex systems.

……

Wang Hao's report lasted an hour and a half.

In fact, the main content of the algorithm is not much, but it is not easy to understand.

When the last step of the argument was completed, Wang Hao stopped talking, first took a big sip of water, then stood on the report table, and concluded, "The above is my report." ”

"Thank you!"

The audience burst into warm applause.

But the report is not completely over here, and then it is time to answer questions, the host of the meeting has just said that it has begun, and when everyone else is still discussing, Ma Wenjun was the first to raise his hand.

The presiding officer of the meeting noticed Ma Wenjun and immediately asked him to ask questions.

Ma Wenjun stood up very politely, and he said with a smile, "Dr. Wang Hao, I have a question. ”

Everyone in the audience looked at it.

Wang Hao was slightly surprised, he was surprised not that Ma Wenjun would ask questions, they could all be called enemies, and it was very normal for Ma Wenjun to 'find trouble' on his report.

He was surprised that Ma Wenjun could understand the report, and couldn't help but glance at the other party's high level.

Apparently.

As long as you stand up and ask questions, you must understand the report, otherwise the questions asked will be ridiculous.

Ma Wenjun seemed to be an ordinary scholar, and he said politely, "When you demonstrate a bounded system, you use a comparative analysis method, which is very ingenious. However, it is not possible to prove that it works for all systems and all systems in this way. ”

"For example, when the system is complex enough and has enough branches, to the point that it's hard to imagine, it can't be proven that the algorithm works."

This is a bounded and unbounded question, and it is also a question of the scope of application.

Wang Hao's argument is that in the case of bounded systems, that is, definite systems, the effective and irrelevant carry algorithms are valid, but his proof does not cover the 'unbounded systems', that is, some systems that are 'not imagined' or 'infinitely extended', and for this type of system, the algorithm may be invalid.

In other words, the argument for the effective versus independent carry algorithm is not perfect.

If it is placed in ordinary life, similar questions can be understood as 'nothing to do', which is usually untouchable and imaginable, so what is the point of arguing?

But in the academic field, in the field of mathematics and theoretical computing, it is very meaningful.

Some mathematical problems involve the concept of 'infinity', and some theorems must be shown to be equally universal for 'infinity or infinitesimal small'.

Ma Wenjun's questions are very high-level, and it can even be said that he asks directly to the point.

The people in the venue couldn't help but look at the podium, wanting to hear how Wang Hao explained.

If he can't give an answer, or if there is no relevant argument, it will not affect the application of the effective and irrelevant carry algorithm, but for the academic results and the report itself, it will definitely drop a notch.

……

Wang Hao stood on the report platform, thinking and stunned in place.

Others also thought he was being asked.

In fact, he was not stunned because of the question, but after Ma Wenjun asked the question, a large amount of knowledge, ideas, and inspiration suddenly poured into his mind, and then he received a system prompt.

[Quest 3, Inspiration +4.] 】

[Inspiration value: 101.] 】

[Hint: You can use it to consume 100 inspiration points to help you get R&D-related inspiration and knowledge related to the correlation of knowledge.] 】

"Use!"

At the moment of giving the order, the knowledge and inspiration in the mind were sorted out clearly, and a complete vein suddenly appeared, and the incomprehensible points of the previous research were all unimpeded at once.

Wang Hao's expression changed from stunned to pursed lips and chuckled, and the smile slowly filled the entire face.

He seemed to have an epiphany from thinking, his eyes were a little bright, and everyone could see for a while that he must have thought of something.

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Hao looked at Ma Wenjun and said with a smile on his face, "Professor Ma Wenjun, thank you." The question you just asked was very level. ”

"Your question led me to another study, and it was very inspiring!"

"I was originally going to combine set theory and induction to prove the unbounded problem, but now I think the other way is better."

He turned around and waved the staff onto a new whiteboard.

Then it was written on it.
