Chapter 96: Knife in Hand! Kill!
Huaxia, Beijing, Yanbei University, International Academy of Mathematics, Lu Changzheng is sitting in his office looking at the paper.
Like Sumant Jer, José and Corey Durant's papers were downloaded and printed by him.
But Corey Durant's paper is now being thrown aside, and there is no time to pay attention to it.
After all, unlike Sumant Jer, he was not a reviewer of Jozer's paper, and this was the first Jozer paper he had read, which felt amazing.
The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Lu Changzheng's engrossed attention.
Professor Lu frowned slightly, glanced at the mobile phone that was thrown on the table at random, and when he saw the word Qian Yuhai, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he stretched out his hand and pressed the call button, and he didn't bother to take the mobile phone, and clicked the megaphone by the way.
"Hey, old money, what's the matter?"
"What else could it be? You're reading a child's paper, right? ”
"Well, very insightful."
"yes, I regret it. When I went to Xilin at that time, I should still think of a way, this kid couldn't get to Yanbei, and it was a loss. ”
"Oh? How so? ”
"I just read Li Jiangao's previous paper, so let me tell you, his research direction can be said to have nothing to do with this paper."
Lu Changzheng was silent for a moment, and then said in a strange tone: "So what? What if you bring people here? Can you give him guidance? ”
"This ......"
"Look, to put it bluntly, you're just jealous of that Li Jiangao who can sign the corresponding author even though he hasn't done anything."
"Huh...... You're not jealous? ”
"Nonsense, of course jealousy. Who doesn't want such a student? But then again, what the Xilin University of Technology did this time was not authentic, and it was true that Li Jiangao and Qiao Ze were roasted on the fire. Then the abacus is really ringing, and I can hear it in the capital. ”
"Haha, speaking of which, I was still on the phone with Lao Zhang just now, suggesting that he go to the education bU side to find an acquaintance, and he organized a team to go to Xilin to check it out as an expert with great fanfare. After the investigation, I will come back, and then I will not report the results of the internal investigation to the outside world, and by the way, I will organize a vote of people to dig up the papers published by the School of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology over the years. What do you think? ”
"Old money...... If you want to say loss, you still lose! If you do that, the feud will be great! If these words reach people's ears, and the person surnamed Xu rushes to the capital to hang you on the head of the city, I just don't see it. ”
"Haha, I just came up with an idea, what's the matter with me? It's a pity, Lao Zhang is not happy, otherwise, this thing will be really fun. ”
"Isn't that right? Old money, are you so idle today? What about calling to amuse me? Doesn't that look like you? ”
"Hehe, you don't know that, do you? I'm watching people live online, and Suman Gyal of Berkeley and Ackerman Cornet of Cohen University are fighting on Facebook. And guess why they fought? ”
"What? Sumant and Ackerman fought? I remember that they all went in different directions, right? Hasn't Sumant turned to specialize in the field of computer artificial intelligence in recent years? Ackerman is still doing finite group structure research, right? How could they be in conflict? ”
"Hahaha, that's the most interesting part. They fought over Josser's paper! Didn't Ackerman's students publish an article on it, you know? ”
Lu Changzheng subconsciously glanced at the paper he had printed out and replied, "I know, I have downloaded it." ”
"Then Suckerman directly said on Facebook last night that an important theoretical proof process in Ackerman's paper was directly plagiarized from Josser's publication on it, and you can say that this is not a lot of fun!"
Lu Changzheng was stunned.
This brain circuit is a little unturnable.
A professor at a top American university and another professor at a top German university quarreled directly on foreign social platforms over whether a Chinese teenager's paper was plagiarized?
This can't be said to be outrageous, this is already a long-lived series.
"Wait, no, it's supposed to be one o'clock in the afternoon in Germany, and it's just seven o'clock in the morning in the United States, right? How did this get noisy? ”
"Haha, you don't know, do you? For Sumant, they had been fighting all night. He sent a message first, and then about three hours later, after 7 o'clock in the morning, Ackermann responded, and then Sumant immediately began to post accusations again...... The current record is that Sumante has sent seven, and Ackerman has also responded with seven, and now he is still waiting for Sumante to continue to kill! The two of them are fighting, and now there are at least more than a thousand onlookers, and there are a bunch of people in the comment area on both sides who are adding fuel to the fire, haha......
Hearing this, Lu Changzheng glanced at the paper placed on the table, and suddenly felt that the paper was not fragrant.
After all, the paper can be read at any time, and if you miss this kind of showdown of the century between masters, you can only watch the replay.
"Where are you? Third floor? ”
"No, in the small conference room on the second floor. Lao Zhang called Lao Zhu and Lao Liu over, ready to go on the screen, Lao Qu went to buy melon seeds and peanuts, everyone is ready to have fun together. ”
"Wait for me, I'll be right over."
After speaking, Lu Changzheng picked up his mobile phone and rushed out of the office.
……
In the conference room on the second floor, Qian Yuhai hung up the phone leisurely.
One counts as one, and everyone in the room today has to thank him.
If he hadn't discovered the fun first, they would have missed out on a great battle of words.
Top bigwigs from top universities duel through social media!
It's a completely face-tearing rhythm!
You don't have to meet it once in a hundred years.
Of course, it's not that it hasn't happened before.
It's a pity that in that era when there were many academic giants, there was no Internet.
Everyone can only talk through email, and they have to wait for a long time on the road without talking, if the two of them don't take the initiative to make it public, others don't know about it at all.
Now it's different.
Information spreads at the speed of light, and you can watch the whole process, and everyone's speech will be recorded by countless hardware, even if you want to delete it.
There are only two words in this duel mode - exciting!
In addition, the fuse of the duel also involved a genius child they knew, which was a paper produced in Huaxia, which directly filled the sense of participation.
If you have to say that there is a fly in the ointment, it is that Qiao Ze did not come to Yanbei Academy. If this kid is also there, the live broadcast effect can be doubled.
Really, if it weren't for the professor who usually had a good relationship, he wouldn't have informed him at all.
Wait for the replay to be seen later!
……
"Huh...... Are you really all there? Lao Zhang, aren't you busy every day? How can you still have time to join in the fun? As soon as Lu Changzheng entered the door, he saw that everyone was really there, so he said disdainfully.
"Nonsense, no matter how busy you are, you have to take out this time! How many times have you seen this kind of thing in your life? ”
"That's it, don't talk nonsense. That's how this line is connected, right? ”
"Come on, I'll see, that's right! Hey...... It's done! ”
Lu Changzheng glanced at the curtain of the conference room, and the content of Qian Yuhai's notebook had been pushed to the big screen.
"Old Qian, hurry up and bring out all the content just now."
"It's just, don't be there."
"Haha, don't worry, it's coming, it's coming."
Two minutes later, Lu Changzheng finally saw the Facebook post that triggered the showdown.
"I was going to look at the two papers and remain silent, but I couldn't bear it anymore when I thought that basic mathematical theories were beginning to stagnate in this materially advanced age. So I would like to ask Professor Cornet of Cohen University directly, what kind of behavior is it to put the important lemma proof process in other people's papers directly into his own paper? ”
There is also a cartoon underneath this sentence.
In the comic, a young man is holding a pen and burying his head in writing, and behind the young man stands a middle-aged man with blond hair, squinting his eyes and copying directly from what the young man wrote.
After seeing this news, Lu Changzheng only felt breathtaking.
Sure enough, it depends on these foreign professors.
This is really not hidden at all, and a knife is slashed out and pointed to the point.
There's no way to avoid it!
After all, if you really ignore this, it will confirm the accusation of plagiarism.
There is no doubt that for a scholar who has just won the Gauss Prize the year before, this is absolutely unbearable.
After everyone finished reading it, Qian Yuhai smiled and switched to Ackerman Cornet's Facebook.
"To be honest, when a friend told me that Suckerman had suddenly attacked me on Facebook, the only thing I had in my mind about the Berkeley professor was that he was American. Yes, that's right, he's an American, so this baseless accusation sounds perfectly reasonable! I have to say, it's American. ”
"Poof......
"Hahaha......"
Seeing this reply from the Germans, everyone in the conference room laughed.
Even Qian Yuhai, who had watched the whole process before, couldn't help laughing again.
Although the Germans played the role of villains in this incident, this reply inexplicably hit everyone's laughter.
I have to admit that there is something about these top foreign professors quarrelling. A single sentence can fill up bUFF.
After the joyful laughter, Qian Yuhai switched to a picture, this time Ackerman Cornet's comment below after replying to the message.
"Ackerman, although I agree with you, I have to remind you that you should remember that Suman is the 2021 Turing Award winner."
"But it's just a Turing Award."
"I'm ashamed that this one was just used."
"So this is a Turing Award vs. Gauss Prize? Victory represents honor? ”
"Maybe it's a battle between computers and mathematics. Obviously, I'm going to take sides with math this time. As we all know, there would be no such thing as a computer without a digital language. Importantly, I believe in Ackerman. ”
"Don't stand in line when you see the excitement! Beware of being slapped in the face! ”
It's true......
The names of the people behind this comment are all big names from major universities.
However, Qian Yuhai did not give these people too many shots, and once again switched the perspective to Sumant Jer's Facebook.
"It seems that Professor Cornet and Berliners don't agree on the United States, but it's interesting that you chose to publish it in an American journal anyway. Now that I've given you enough hints, if your memory hasn't deteriorated too much, I guess you've remembered something. ”
The second sword is directly bright, and it is really exciting enough.
But there is nothing to complain about in this sentence, Qian Yuhai quickly switched to the next screenshot.
"Maybe I should thank Sumant for using Facebook to help my research group publicize the results of the research that has just been successful. But if you have any doubts about the originality of the paper, you should use a plagiarism checking system to post more perfect evidence, which is what a decent person should do. Instead of being like a riddler, he made a big splash on Facebook. Of course, it's understandable, after all, your ancestors left the British Isles with everything they needed, leaving behind the most basic etiquette and the aristocratic spirit of your fathers...... Oh, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I almost forgot, there didn't seem to be any nobles who immigrated to the Americas in those days. ”
"It's clear here that Ackerman has a weak heart, and he seems to have been trying to change the subject." Zhang Hongcai suddenly commented.
After all, they are all top mathematics professors in China, and their logical analysis skills are all full.
"It's a little, Lao Lu, weren't you reading the paper just now? Have you read both papers? Is there really anything particularly similar? ”
Lu Changzheng shook his head and said, "I'm still studying Qiao Ze's paper, and I'm only halfway through it. The Ackerman team's paper was downloaded, but it was left aside, and I didn't have time to read it. Do you want me to pick it up now? ”
"Not really. I didn't read both of them in depth, but I did go through both papers roughly, and the general impression was that the similarity between the two papers was not high, after all, Qiao Ze's paper was more inclined to solve theoretical problems. However, Ackerman's paper does have a mathematical proof process when solving a specific datapartition orbital problem, which is somewhat similar to the proof of a similar problem in Josser's paper. Because that problem does require a specific datapartition to define the corresponding structure, there is no way around it. ”
Qian Yuhai shrugged his shoulders and said.
"That doesn't make sense. Even if this process can't be bypassed, it shouldn't involve plagiarism, right? Even if you really need to learn from this proof process, wouldn't it be better to quote it directly? Are the Germans so rigorous that they are not willing to contribute even a single quote? Doesn't that make sense, right? Zhang Hongcai said suspiciously.
Several people glanced at each other, and they all felt very confused.
It's hard to understand.
After all, as long as the scholar's IQ is online, it is obviously two different papers, if there is only a little overlap, unless the brain cramps will choose plagiarism, right?
Can you forget the citation rules that have been circulating for hundreds of years in academic papers?
But if he didn't, why was Sumant so aggressive?
Why is Ackerman's performance a little weak?
Really, at this moment, several of the smartest minds in Huaxia in the conference room were a little dizzy by this question.
What kind of fairy operation is this?
Until Qian Yuhai, who was fiddling with the computer while thinking about it, suddenly shouted: "Huh? Sumante has the latest response, everyone take a look. ”
Well, I can't figure it out, and I'm too lazy to think about it, eating melons at this time is the most important.
All eyes were on the big screen at this moment.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Because Carl, the editor-in-chief of NYU's Courant Institute, had just called me, and he wanted me to settle the dispute in a so-called gentlemanly way. Obviously, they were scared, afraid that I really had evidence of Ackerman Cornet's plagiarism! ”
After all, as accomplices, the editors are also to blame in this matter. They have even played a new trick on the double-blind review system that these traditional journals have always admired. That's why I have to speak out here! Perhaps these unprofessional operations are the reason why some people can act recklessly and make our basic mathematical theories stagnant! ”
……
Boy!
A few people in the room really want to shout yes!
I thought that this showdown of the century was just a verbal cannon between two top scholars, but who would have thought that now even the world's top mathematics journals would be involved.
Somet Gyal is really crazy, isn't he?
This is to say that this professor has no iron-clad evidence in his hands, and these professors of Yanbei University don't believe it very much!
After all, if he can't come up with evidence in the end, Lao Su is afraid that he will be directly banned by the entire mathematical community!
No way?
For a short proof process for a Chinese paper, Sumant actually fought so hard?
Do you want to play so big?!
……
"Melon seeds and peanuts were bought...... But I'm tired, hey, what kind of expressions do you have? Did I miss any great part?! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, in fact, you came just in time, let me tell you, just in time to see Sumante swinging a knife frantically! Now the excitement is just full! ”
"That's a good feeling, I'll take a look...... Oh...... It's a complete tear! Sumant Jell is going to slash him too? ”
"Old money, hurry up, read the comments, look at the comments!"
"Great!"
When Qian Yuhai clicked on the comment area of Sumant Jer, the first person who grabbed the first position was Joe Berner, the editor-in-chief of the editorial agency.
"Sumant, don't be so excited, but the academic community is recognized as an excellent mathematical journal, second only to the existence of the Big Four! The editors-in-chief and editors of journals are even more recognized professionals, and if there is no conclusive evidence, they cannot be so tainted with their century-old reputation! ”
Well......
Very rational evaluation.
If it weren't for the fact that it was only seven o'clock in the morning at this time, and it was far from the time to go to work, everyone might really believe that this guy was persuading!
