Yu Xingwei thinks that Yanbei University is all weird.

For example, Shandong Dongyi.

My arrival directly occupied another area of ​​the not-so-large office, but Lu Dongyi was not satisfied at all...

For example, he couldn't understand why Ning Wei couldn't defeat his achievements.

But one afternoon, Yu Xingwei met classmate Jiang in the cafeteria and found that she was still wearing her extremely simple clothes. When she was wearing the "working clothes" he bought to play the piano for two people in the office, Yu Xingwei felt that she finally understood something, but she didn't fully understand.

That's why he responded instantly.

This feeling is very mysterious.

Just like the algorithm masters who have received Ning Wei's manuscript, their feelings are also very mysterious.

...TOC, like SODA, is the top international conference in the field of theoretical computer science, except that it is organized and provided by the ACM algorithm and computing theory interest groups.

But in fact, if you study carefully, you will find that although the two conferences were supported by different organizations, the vice chairmen and members of the various procedural committees of these meetings were all named the same name, and most of the people who reviewed countless submissions were naturally the same group of people.

This is the influence of international academic tycoons.

When a person has achieved great success recognized by the world in a certain field, then if the top conferences in this field are not given a name, the credibility of the conference seems to be a little lower.

So many people who see Ning Wei’s paper are acquaintances he met at the SODA conference.

For example, Professor Shen, Professor John Wilson, etc.

Of course, there are many people who Ning Wei has not had time to know. After all, the biggest difference between STOC and SODA is probably that STOC prefers theory rather than specific applications, which is why Ning Wei decided to submit his manuscript to the conference.

Eighty percent of his papers are purely theoretical information.

...

Massachusetts is abbreviated as Massachusetts. It has a temperate climate with distinct four seasons and shorter summers.

The same is true for Cambridge, where Harvard University is located, but August is still in the hot summer. The air conditioner in John Wilson's office has been on for three consecutive days. In fact, he spent most of the time in the office these days, even sleeping.

This situation is already rare.

But there was no way. After Ning's 207-page paper was conveyed by countless special reviewers at the conference, he finally received an email and began to study the papers endlessly.

Whether it is mathematics or computers, the fewest people do pure theoretical research.

Because doing theoretical research is actually boring and boring, and the threshold is extremely high. If it were not for strong interest and strong intelligence to support it, it would be difficult to persevere. Not to mention from the perspective of pure materiality, theoretical research is often laborious but not thankful.

After all, theoretical research proposes a guiding ideology, and the impact is often the future in unknown ways. Especially once the theory is specific to the application level, it involves various promotion cost considerations and interests disputes, so the theory not developed is extremely advanced and will definitely be accepted by the real world.

But it is a little better to do theoretical research, because if you really make subversive results, you will immediately become the most shining star in the academic world. Fame and interests come one after another. Even in the distant future, these theories will be applied to reality by scientists. Then all these application-level achievements in the future cannot bypass the name of this theoretical breakthrough.

For example, Newton, Einstein, Boltzmann...

In particular, Boltzmann, although the theory proposed was not understood by the world at that time, finally chose to end his life by suicide, all scientists who study thermodynamics and statistical physics could not avoid this name.

These are the two paths to being a theorist. Either theorems, formulas, and conjectures named after their names will always affect the world, or they will be unknown for a lifetime, and will probably disappear into the long river of history like ordinary people in a hundred years, and no one remembers it.

Obviously, the former is extremely rare. There are only a few hundred theoretical pioneers who can be remembered for thousands of years of civilization history. Most of them are only famous in specific academic circles.

For example, Dalton, a formerly famous British scientist, probably apart from students majoring in physics, chemistry and biology, few people will remember that he is the recognized father of scientific atomism in the academic community.

The reason why John Wilson was so obsessed with him at this time was because he found that a new star who was most likely to be remembered by later generations was rising.

The success of the turbulence algorithm has given Ning Wei a place in the computer algorithm industry, but in John Wilson's view, the turbulence algorithm is nothing compared to this paper. Even though this algorithm has been proven to bring great economic benefits, it is still unknown when this paper will bring economic benefits.

The reason is very simple. In John Wilson's opinion, there are actually standards for evaluating the contribution of the research results of the world's scientific theorists' lifelong research results to science. This standard has nothing to do with immediate economic benefits. It is something that only the guys who are engaged in application care about!

For theorists, the criteria for judging their contributions should always be the foundational contribution, which is what they call the establishment of a sect.

Because once pioneering theories are accepted by the industry, hundreds of scientists will advance their work based on this theory, and all these achievements are based on the theory proposed by the founders.

From Ning Wei's paper, he saw the potential for laying the foundation for a refinement branch of a computer theory community. Even if one day these theoretical achievements begin to truly apply in reality, Ning Wei will become the most important computer theorist of this century, and at most add one of them later.

What's even more terrifying is that Ning Wei is only 22 years old this year, far from the peak of a respected computer theorist's achievements. In other words, he still has enough time to fully construct his theories with the help of countless scientists interested in the field.

All theorists who study big data can have a new and more intuitive understanding of big data.

For John Wilson, who also studies computer theory, it is conceivable that this paper will bring him.

The only drawback is that 192 pages of this 207 paper are discussed and explained in the field of pure numbers, only 8 pages are standardized suggestions for computer application, and 7 pages are verification reports given by supercomputers.

In other words, removing the last 15 pages is a pure number paper that should be invested in the top four major mathematics journals. But thinking about Ning Wei’s current relationship with a group of people in the mathematics community, John Wilson subconsciously smiled knowingly.

After all, in his opinion, if this paper is submitted to "Nature", it would be a waste of resources.

These days, he has sent Ning Wei's paper to several friends, including many bigwigs in the field of pure numbers, and has had extremely in-depth exchanges with other reviewers of this paper, and most of the ideas are converging.

This was enough to make him tremble.

The only thing that made him dissatisfied with this paper was probably the unit above, Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center...

He regretted why he didn't have a deep conversation with Ning Wei at the SODA conference. He should have attached more importance to this young man and invited him to study at Harvard... No, he should have hired him as a professor. Oh my God, only then did he know what kind of opportunity he had missed!

Of course, it seems not too late now.

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a knock on the door outside the room, and John Wilson replied, "Come in."

The next moment, the office door was opened and Lucy Ron walked into John Wilson's office with brisk steps.

"Professor Wilson, is there something big happening? I must rush back from Bretton Woods. You must know that this is the most important vacation I plan to take this year."

As a talented female doctor who is loved by Harvard University, she can always be very relaxed in front of her mentor.

However, today she did not see the kind smile of the past on the mentor's face, which made her subconsciously stick out her tongue and acted much more honestly.

"Lucy, give up your ridiculous vacation plan and don't waste your talent. Do you know what that Ning Wei did during your vacation?" John Wilson asked seriously.

"Ning Wei?" Lucy Ron asked in surprise, and the image of this bad Chinese man began to appear in his mind.

If all the men she knew had to be ranked in the order of the least gentleman, Ning Wei would definitely be ranked first! She even suspected that this Chinese man had no such creature as a woman in the eyes of this Chinese man!

"Okay, what did he do? You forced me to give up my vacation and fly back to school." Lucy Ron asked with an innocent look on his face.

Looking at the appearance of his beloved disciple, John Wilson sighed in his heart and said, "Actually, he did nothing. He just submitted a 207-page paper to the STOC Conference as the first author. But this paper made all reviewers unanimously believe that this paper is enough to allow the entire academic community to re-examine the big data system and give a new understanding of the existing big data."

"Or I can say it more bluntly. His basic theory of big data is enough to guide people to design new algorithms in the future to make big data better serve the world. He is laying the foundation for science. Do you understand that?"

When Lucy Ron heard what his mentor said, he was stunned.

Since she started her undergraduate studies with John Wilson, she naturally knew how much her tutor valued the word "foundation". Today, he used these two words in his evaluation of Ning Wei's thesis...

At this moment, Ning Wei's vicious words against the ladies echoed in her mind.

"When discussing the problem, she is in a superposition of men and women!"

"Have your evening dress been burned out yet?"

"Oh my God, tell me, are you busy drawing brain cells for breast enhancement recently?"

This abominable, vicious, ungraceful bastard who ruined her perfect vacation trip was actually called the founder of a field by his mentor?!

This is definitely the most annoying news Lucy Ron has heard in his life, and what is even more annoying is...

"Lucy, take a good look at Ning Wei's paper. I remember you have his contact information. You can ask Ning Wei more about his mathematical thoughts. He has a wild imagination, which you can never compare to. Also, ask Ning Wei if he is willing to come to Harvard to be a tenured professor. I will work with a few old friends to help him apply for this qualification. There is no problem. He can ask any conditions. You are passing it to me, okay?"

John Wilson said sincerely.

Lucy Ron: “…”

...

In fact, Lucy Ron is not the only one who is suffering from mental torture at this time.

Ning Wei's 206-page paper will definitely be approved by the conference, and the news that Ning Wei will give a 60-minute report in the conference hall has been revealed to their students through the bigwigs of the conference organizing committee.

"Ha, John, do you remember Ning Wei, who proposed the turbulence algorithm in Huaxia? Yes, yes, that undergraduate student at Huaxia Jiangcheng University will tell you good news. This time he took the initiative to submit a paper to STOC, and it has been approved by almost all reviewers. Don't show that constipated expression. I haven't had time to tell you his 206-page paper, of which 192 pages are all discussions on mathematical theory."

"Also, his report meeting is the report you must attend at this conference. In order to prevent you from being bored for those sixty minutes to play with your phone, I hope you will carefully study this paper from now on. If you don't understand the concept, you can ask the professors of the School of Mathematics. Don't think about taking a vacation. This paper is worth giving up all the vacations this year. Okay, go and read it quickly. Please write a summary report on this paper before this conference. This report may be related to whether you can graduate..."

John was holding a thick stack of papers, as stunned as Lucy Ron.

Well, this is actually not very consistent.

But when countless bigwigs do this, rules are no longer important.

So many Twitter miserably once again.

The last time I was unprepared, which made everyone involuntarily want to complain.

This time, I will give them time to give up the romantic summer vacation, give up the joyful Patry, sit in the classroom to read a 206-page paper, and fully understand the mathematical ideas in it, so that they will not be drowsy at the STOC 60-minute report meeting in September, or take out their mobile phones to pat them, showing the fact that their IQ may have been completely suppressed...

Which one is more unbearable? The Twitter that Ning likes the most for this paper can probably explain everything.
Chapter completed!
