Chapter 101 Capital has no heroes
Chapter 101 There is no hero in front of capital
At 10:30 am on the 20th in Massachusetts (corresponding to 11:30 pm on the 20th BJ time), Eve Carly had already made the "LIN HUI Generative Text Summarization Algorithm" based on previous research content.
Feasibility Report", although the name of the report is "Feasibility Report", in fact, Eve Carly spent almost the entire report saying that it is not feasible to follow up on the LINHUI algorithm in a short period of time.
Although it is a bit tiring to give in before the corresponding technical follow-up has been officially carried out, Eve Carly firmly believes that "giving in" is the wisest choice now.
However, when she walked into the office of Ewald Cherry, head of the Natural Language Processing Research Program at MIT, she took the report and submitted it.
Ewald Cherry only glanced through it briefly and put the report on the left side of the desk beside him.
Eve Carly has submitted many messy reports. She understands Ewald Cherry's habits and knows that placing the report on the left basically means that the matter will be put on hold temporarily.
Why should such a harmless plan be shelved?
Eve Carly was a little confused.
Ewald Cherry is the director of the Natural Language Processing Research Center at MIT.
But in fact, Ewald Cherry is only responsible for the handover between the MIT Natural Language Processing Center and Google/Google.
Eve Carley and Ewald Cherry have no clear affiliation.
Therefore, Eve Carly had nothing to be taboo about and asked directly:
"Excuse me, do you think my report is unreasonable? Why do you want to shelve this plan?
You must know that my suggestion to Google to acquire this algorithm in a timely manner has been carefully considered.
Even though it will cost Google/Google some money to purchase this algorithm, it will definitely be worth it.
Considering the expensive research and development expenses and various miscellaneous expenses in the United States.
Even if we know the technical route.
The actual implementation is likely to cost more than directly purchasing the technology of the Chinese team.
The most important thing is that it will take a lot of time for us to carry out technical follow-up.
But now Chinese developers have moved ahead of us.
If we cannot master this patent as soon as possible, even if we can eventually break down technical barriers, we will still face market barriers from competitors.
You have to understand that market barriers are sometimes more frustrating than technical barriers."
Ewald Cherry: "Dear Ms. Eve Carly, I understand your eagerness. I would like to ask, are you really sure that the technology proposed by LINHUI is so excellent?"
Eve Carly: "Of course I'm sure, are you questioning my professional ability?
Even if you can question my own ability, you can't question our team.
You must know that the report I submitted to you is the crystallization of the wisdom of our entire text summarization algorithm team.
Although we lost to Chinese developers in past algorithm competitions.
However, we know the value of generative text summarization algorithms better than anyone in the world except LINHUI.
It is no exaggeration to say that this algorithm is of epoch-making significance for text summarization..."
Ewald Cherry: "Ms. Eve Carly, please don't get excited. Of course I believe in the ability of you and your team. I am also a researcher in natural language processing, and I am also eager to learn about generative expressions." The summary algorithm is an extremely magical algorithm and we will get a glimpse of it as soon as possible.
But we don’t have to rely on buying and selling to acquire technology. Use your sharp mind and think about it. In fact, we have a better idea!”
Eve Carley: “Oh, my God, it’s civilized times now.
Are you going to use the tricks of early Silicon Valley?
It’s okay that I didn’t know about this. I know that I absolutely cannot tolerate this happening.
You absolutely cannot trample on other people’s intellectual property rights in such a flagrant and wanton manner.”
Ewald Cherry: “Damn, where did you think you were.
And you have to know that this Chinese LINHUI is more cunning than you think. The patents he applied for never involve any technical processing methods used in the extractive summary algorithm. It is a completely new approach, even if I want to start with intellectual property rights. , is also difficult to do.
The most important thing is that LINHUI from China seems to have been prepared for it.
Generally, it is easy for foreign patent applicants to leave fatal loopholes in legal affairs in the United States.
However, LINHUI’s algorithm patent does not cause any legal pitfalls at all.
I estimate that the business consulting part of LINHUI involving patents is probably done by a team of senior lawyers in the United States.
In short, our competitors are more thoughtful than you think, and they are not just idiots obsessed with technology."
Eve Carly: "You said you weren't going to trample on intellectual property rights? Why do you know so much about it in detail?"
Ewald Cherry: "These are just normal market surveys."
Eve Carly: "I hope, although I shouldn't go into too many details, I hope that your Ministry of Affairs can do things in a humanitarian way, otherwise I will issue a message to you at the Pan American Technical Alliance Organization The most solemn protest.”
Ewald Cherry: "Of course. In your eyes, is our affairs department just a jackal in a suit? We do things very systematically. This matter is actually not as complicated as you think. It only requires an invitation letter." enough."
Eve Carly was puzzled: "Invitation letter? What kind of invitation letter can exchange for wealth worth fifty million U.S. dollars! And you just said that LINHUI is thoughtful. Are you sure that an invitation letter can exchange for him to betray his core interests? ?”
Ewald Cherry: “No invitation letter can grab wealth worth more than 50 million US dollars, but we don’t want to own the algorithm patent of generative summarization. As long as we can obtain LINHUI’s patented technology sharing, it is enough. ."
Eve Carly: "Since you have the same idea, why do you go to so much trouble? Just submit my report directly and ask Google to pay for it!"
Ewald Cherry: "Oh, God, please save your innocent child! What makes you think that Google will still trust us? And will continue to pay for the consequences of our backward technology? Woolen cloth?"
Eve Carley: “Why not? Isn’t it time that Google asked us to measure the feasibility of generative summarization algorithms?”
Ewald Cherry: "Don't be naive. According to the information I obtained inside Google, Google has actually already asked the company's internal natural language processing technical team to conduct technical follow-up of generative algorithms behind the scenes.
Come in! As for the insignificant task assigned to us now, it may just be a smoke bomb to distract attention from the other side of the ocean."
Eve Carly: "How could they do this? Are these despicable capitalists abandoning us just because we were surpassed by the algorithm created by LIN HUI in the algorithm field last time? You must know that technology is changing.
It's a normal thing.
And this setback has nothing to do with our incompetence. The reason why people on the other side of the ocean are ahead is purely due to a directional problem. The directional problem is the fault of the entire industry, not the fault of our team alone.
Even if Google finds other teams, they will still hit a wall in terms of generative text summarization. Google’s current approach is a waste of resources, and it is estimated that it will only seek patent acquisitions in the end.”
Ewald Cherry: “But so what? Even if Google/Google finds that the technology of generative summarization algorithms is difficult to break and actually purchases patents from across the ocean, they may not share the technology with us.
To be precise, Google will almost never share its technology with us anymore.
In fact, Google was very dissatisfied with our previous inadvertent diffusion of technology to Yahoo."
Eve Carly: "That's all because of the stupid things that bastard Nick did before. He can't stand the temptation of Yahoo. What does it have to do with us?
In any case, the algorithms we developed previously have brought a lot of value to Google, they can’t be so ruthless!”
Ewald Cherry: “But they are ruthless, so what can you do?
There is no hero in front of capital, and Silicon Valley does not believe in tears."
