Wen Yeren half-shrunk in his down jacket, and suddenly felt Fang Nian's gaze.

There was a moment of confusion.

Then the jumbled thoughts in my head jerked.

Listening to Fang Nian's tone calmly, he said, "How do you know if you don't try." ”

Wen Ye quickly captured the key information.

Wen Ye stretched out his hand to brush away the few strands of hair that had fallen down, and said quietly.

"Senior Cheng, classmate Fang Nian, what kind of research are you discussing, can you tell me about it?"

After speaking, Wen Ye Yuguang casually looked at Fang Nian, observing Fang Nian's expression.

Seeing that Fang Nian lowered his eyes and no longer looked at himself, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Facing Wen Ye's curious gaze, Cheng Qian pushed down his glasses and smiled: "A big problem in cognitive philosophy in the classification of philosophy, my tutor took me and some classmates to set up a project team......

Wen Ye looked a little interested, and asked in a consultative tone: "Then, what is the big problem?"

Cheng Qian smiled: "Wen Xuemei is also interested in philosophical issues?"

After a pause, he replied: "This question is very complex to explain carefully, and it is a whole set of systematic theories. ”

Wen Ye pursed his lips and smiled: "Explain it simply, I see that you are very engaged in chatting, and you are a little curious." ”

Cheng Qian also laughed, glanced at Wen Ye, and said self-deprecatingly: "What's going on with you today, you are all interested in these untimely research. ”

Then he added: "Fang Nian is okay, he has been interested in cognitive philosophy for a long time, and he is also interested in cutting-edge issues;

I remember Wen Xuemei, you are studying administrative management, whether it is epistemology, philosophy, or framework issues, they are all irrelevant. ”

Wen Ye didn't rush to speak.

Sure enough, Cheng Qian continued to speak.

So, I'll give you a random example, but I have to say that it's not a simple-sounding example, and it's a bit of a twist. ”

Wen Ye nodded hurriedly: "It's okay." ”

Cheng Qian glanced at the room, and then said, "For example, there is an apple over there, and it is red. ”①

If we take this as a proposition, the human way of thinking is to find another apple to see if it's red, and so on, and if there are no counterexamples, we will be more and more convinced that the proposition is correct. ”

"Let's say we verify 100 apples and 99 of them are red, we will make the default inference, i.e.:

When someone tells you that something is an apple, you immediately associate it with red, and this is the process of human cognition: induction-verification-application.

Or rather, judgment-verification-application. ”

After a pause, Cheng Qian continued: "But the verification idea of the machine is not like this.

It needs to find out all the equivalent forms of the proposition first, and then start to verify, which requires a large number of identification cases, and finally judges in the equivalent form, if the more cases are identified, it will be easy to generate:

'Something that's not red isn't an apple', which in turn supports 'anything that's not red isn't an apple', which is equivalent to 'all apples are red.' ’

And that's fine with machine logic.

Going back to our human mind, if someone tells us that something is an apple, we associate it with red;

But, we humans don't think that everything that isn't red is not an apple......"

Finally, Cheng Qian concluded: "Our current research direction is to anthropomorphize the verification ideas of machines through experiments. ”

"It is also a kind of artificial intelligence research direction, and our team and mentors believe that this theory is valuable, but it does not mean that this theory is correct and can be fruitful. ”

Although Cheng Qian's example sounds a bit winding and not so simple, Wen Ye's comprehension ability is not a problem, and after a little thought, he understands it, with a little excitement.

"So, can I understand that your current project research direction is the future of smartphones or smart computers?"

Cheng Qian shook his head with a smile: "The two words of the future are too big, don't dare to say that." ”

"It can only be said to explore the possibility of making machine cognition more intelligent. ”

Wen Ye nodded as if he didn't understand: "I just heard you talk about the endless loop, what is the reason for this?"

Cheng Qian replied: "Although the project funding problem is an epistemological problem, it needs a lot of experimental verification to be realized by machines in the end. ”

"In fact, there is a misconception here, most people think that professional research such as philosophy is purely theoretical and does not require actual experiments......

As he spoke, Cheng Qian's face showed bitterness.

This is a big misunderstanding.

The research direction of the project, especially the research direction of cutting-edge problems, wants to realize the theory, how can it not be experimented.

Since it is an experiment, how can it be completely on paper?

In a hurry, research scholars like Cheng Qian, who are in the Department of Philosophy, even have to learn mathematics, programming and other messy things, and then personally realize their ideas.

Fang Nian, who had been auditing, was also a little emotional, the depth of his current learning was half an entry.

"That's why I suggested Brother Cheng to try it and pull a sponsor or something. ”

Cheng Qian spread out his hand and sighed: "Actually, it's not that I haven't tried it." ”

"People who have capital expect to see exact results, but this is not a house, you can do it, and it is difficult to say that theoretical research will be correct. ”

Fang Nian also sighed: "Indeed, theoretical research does not necessarily produce results, which is difficult to convince sponsors. ”

“......”

For a while, the atmosphere was a little embarrassed.

At this time, Wen Ye understood a little, but he didn't know how to speak.

But seeing Fang Nian suddenly look at her, he looked like he just remembered: "Senior Sister Wen Ye, I remember that you seem to be an intern in a big company now, right?"

As soon as he heard this, Wen Ye immediately nodded, and said with a sudden look: "Yes, there are departments in our company that seem to be more interested in research-based projects. ”

Fang Nian snorted: "Then do you have a chance to help Brother Cheng." ”

Cheng Qian also reacted, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't don't, I got my mind, I'm just complaining casually." ”

"Wen Xuemei, don't really lose your job for this impossible thing. ”

Then he said helplessly: "Classmate Fang Nian is purely having a bad idea. ”

"I know you're interested in this and want to be studied, but even me, including my mentor, don't have absolute confidence......"

Fang Nian smiled: "It's not a bad idea, try it, maybe you will have one more choice." ”

Wen Ye also said: "Senior Cheng, in fact, our company encourages employees to promote projects, just hand over a plan, and it won't affect anything." ”

Cheng Qian raised his eyebrows and said with some uncertainty: "Really?"

Wen Ye affirmed: "This is still fake. ”

“......”

Cheng Qian was silent: "......"

............

Fang Nian, who no longer spoke, glanced at Cheng Qian, a little embarrassed.

If Cheng Qian is the leader of the project and uses such a mentality to attract sponsors, he will not succeed in this life.

Because the confidence of the fart is not given to the other party, who will have so much money that there is nowhere to throw it?

Of course, according to Fang Nian's understanding, it was Cheng Qian's mentor who led the project, a well-known professor.

In Fang Nian's opinion, since this professor dares to organize this kind of project, he should still have a certain certainty.

For example, as Cheng Qian said, there is just no absolute confidence.

Although in Wen Ye's view, choosing the direction of academic research is a form of Fang Nian's own integration into Fudan.

If Fang Nian knew, he wouldn't deny it.

But Fang Nian's purpose is not only that.

In the past almost a month, Fang Nian and Cheng Qian have communicated a lot.

What does Cheng Qian say, he is willing to help his younger brothers and sisters solve their knowledge confusion.

He is a typical academic student, and he doesn't have too many side thoughts.

Therefore, Fang Nian learned many things smoothly, including that graduate students and doctoral students in the Department of Philosophy do not only have pure theoretical research.

There is also research that explores solutions to cutting-edge problems.

As for the part that interests him the most, the research direction of Cheng Qian's team's project, Fang Nian is almost looking to the bottom of it.

So in fact, in the middle of the month, Fang Nian already planned to be the 'sponsor' in the form of investment.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

Something else happened in the middle of this, distracting Fang Nian's energy.

I happened to meet Cheng Qian today, and it happened that Wen Ye was also there, so Fang Nian thought about solving this matter by the way.

Because—

This is the third way out that Fang Nian found for himself.

Yes, the third.

In Fang Nian's view, this will be a form of retreat of the kind, rather than a one-time one.

He was far from being rich, but now he had a little money on his hands.

Investing in university research projects that you know will be a big hit in the future has a good chance of worry-free future.

And that's just one aspect.

On the other hand, Fang Nian is also contributing to the development of cutting-edge science and technology.

If you don't calculate the benefits, but only use the business concept to calculate, you will make sure that you don't lose money.

What better way out in the world could there be?

That's why Fang Nian gestured to Wen Ye with his eyes.

Fortunately, Wen Mi's comprehension ability is not bad, not only guiding Cheng Qian to explain the research project from the popular level, but also making up the excuse of the intention to invest under his prompting.

Fang Nian has to say:

In one's element!

Born secretary material.

............

After a while, Cheng Qian suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the time, quickly got up, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have something else, I'm here to find a reference book, I have to go first." ”

"Thank you, Wen Xuemei, I will ask the mentor for a project plan, and I will have to trouble you to hand it over when the time comes. ”

Wen Ye smiled and said, "It's just a gesture, don't be so polite, but if you don't succeed in the promotion, don't be too disappointed." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Qian hurriedly said: "How can it be, let's say this first, I have to go first, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Hearing this, Fang Nian also got up and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Senior Cheng had something to do, and I delayed your time." ”

Cheng Qian hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no." ”

“......”

Wen Ye also got up and waved his hand: "Senior Cheng, goodbye." ”

Seeing Cheng Qian quickly go to the bookshelf to find the book, and then leave quickly with the book.

Fang Nian closed the book, glanced at Wen Ye, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Senior Sister Wen Ye can invite me to a cup of tea?"

Wen Ye pursed his lips in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay." ”
