Chapter 128 The pursuing pursuer (Part 1)

Due to the time difference, when Lin Hui was fast asleep, people on the other side of the world were still busy at work.

California time is 16 hours behind BJ time, and it was just 8 a.m. on the 21st.

There is also a natural language processing algorithm team that is busy at the NOTEXIST Research Laboratory on the campus of Stanford University (located in California).

Seeing the busy researchers in the NOTEXIST laboratory, many computer-related students passing through Stanford University will unconsciously slow down their steps.

While walking slowly, these people will also feel a little envious of the people in the research room.

Because they know that although these researchers are doing research in the research room of Stanford University.

But in fact, most of the members of the NOTEXIST research laboratory do not belong to Stanford University, but to the famous Google/Google Research Institute.

The Google Research Institute can be said to be the dream workplace for all computer-related students at Stanford who are committed to employment.

Although the salary here can only be said to be above average, the key is that it is cool.

Many world-changing technologies were born from Google Research.

And which student has never dreamed of changing the world?

In short, most of the looks in the eyes of these passing students were envy and a trace of jealousy.

Dr. Eclair Kilcaja is a member of the NOTEXIST research laboratory. He does not think his current life is anything to be envied.

With an annual salary of $325,000, he has to live like an ant.

Although it was only eight o'clock in the morning, in fact he and his partners had been busy almost all night.

Eclair Kilcaja hates this kind of busyness!

But I have to be busy!

If their text processing algorithm development team does not keep up with the latest generative text summarization related technologies.

Then they are most likely to follow in the footsteps of the MIT Natural Language Processing Text Summarization Group:

——Towards disintegration.

Although they are unlikely to be dismissed directly as part of Google Research.

But it is very likely that he will be sent to Asan's research institute.

I heard that the Google Research Institute over there has just been established and is now very short of manpower.

Eclair Kilcaja did not want to go to that dirty and chaotic land.

Thinking of the possible tragic ending, Eclair Kilcaja hated the guy named LIN HUI.

For such an algorithm genius, wouldn’t he be able to achieve success in any algorithm he works on?

Why do we have to develop some kind of generative text summarization algorithm to take away their jobs?

Eclair Kilcaja was complaining when she suddenly heard fellow team member Harley Price shouting:

"Hey, Eclair Kilcaja, don't be in a daze, what are your test results over there?"

Eclair Kilcaja: "Don't mention it, it's simply terrible. The X1 algorithm we use is inferior to the algorithm used by Lin in Nanfeng APP in all aspects of parameters..."

The so-called X1 algorithm is a generative summary experimental algorithm developed by Eclair Kilcaja and his team, inspired by the technical route disclosed in the patent applied for by LIN HUI.

It is called an experimental algorithm because this algorithm is mainly used for testing.

As a test algorithm, the X1 algorithm is qualified.

The algorithm developed by Eclair Kilcajia and others is already a bit like a generative summary algorithm.

However, this algorithm can only be used as a test algorithm now.

It is still one step away from the real application, but even though it seems to be only one step.

It's just one step away, but it's a world of difference.

Objectively speaking, the X1 algorithm is far behind the algorithm in LIN HUI Nanfeng APP in terms of text summary extraction speed and accuracy.

When it comes to accuracy, Eclair Kilcaja is depressed.

Even the standard for measuring accuracy is provided by LIN HUI. How can you compete with others?

It's over before it even begins.

And the most depressing thing is that the X1 algorithm they made is not even comparable to the algorithm made by LIN HUI.

Even compared with the algorithms they tinkered with before, the extraction speed and accuracy were also greatly inferior.

This situation can't help but make Eclair Kilcaja a little pessimistic.

Harley Price: "Tell me about the numerical difference."

Eclair Kilcaja: “I have a feeling you don’t want to know, the disparity is desperate.

The results are printed out, take it and see for yourself..."

Harley Price took the report handed over by Eclair Kilcarga, read it for a while and then frowned:

"I can understand the difference in recognition accuracy. After all, the algorithm developed by LIN HUI must have been trained for a long time to obtain the results.

But why do we make the recognition speed of this X1 algorithm much slower than the algorithm in Nanfeng APP?

Normally, when two algorithms with the same theory deal with the same problem, shouldn’t the algorithm time complexity be the same?”

Eclair Kilcaja: “Who knows? Maybe there’s something wrong with the mechanism we’re using…”

Harley Price: "How is it possible? Isn't the technical route explained by LIN HUI based on the Sequence-to-Sequence deep neural network model? If there is a problem with his technical route, we can definitely sue him.

Is his patent invalid?”

Eclair Kilcarga: "Don't be naive! He just said that the model is based on the Sequence-to-Sequence model, and he did not say that he is still applying an early version of this model in the algorithm."

Harley Price: "These damn strangers, they're despicable..."

Eclair Kilcaja: "Stop complaining. If we encountered the same problem, the methods we would use might be even more excessive. And the focus now is to improve the accuracy of algorithm processing. As for speed, it doesn't really matter...

At worst, we can run this algorithm on a distributed system."

In computer science, distributed computing is also translated as distributed computing.

A distributed system is a system formed by a group of computers that are connected to each other through a network to transmit messages and communicate and coordinate their actions.

Harley Price knows that Google has made great progress in distributed computing in recent years due to the Google Brain Project.

If this algorithm is put on a distributed system, it can indeed achieve a breakthrough in execution speed.

After hearing the news, Harley Price was not happy at all.

Once they really choose to run the algorithm on a distributed system, it means that they will directly lose.

You must know that the algorithm in Nanfeng APP runs offline and does not even have a server.

What is the difference between using distributed algorithms directly and killing chickens with h-bombs?

Moreover, the speed gap with the LIN HUI algorithm is still within the scope of Harley Price's understanding.

The gap in accuracy with the LIN HUI algorithm is truly despairing.

The accuracy of the X1 algorithm developed by Harley Price and others is not even comparable to the summary accuracy of the algorithm used in the Yahoo News summary created by that idiot Lian Nick.

This made Harley Price very depressed.

…

After a while, Harley Price suddenly had an idea and shouted to Eclair Kilcaja:

"Dear buddy, do you think the problem lies in the accuracy measurement standard set by LIN HUI?

If that accuracy measurement standard is applied, only LIN HUI's own algorithm will achieve high scores using that measurement standard..."

Eclair Kilcaja:…

Eclair Kilcaja: "Maybe your idea has your basis, but now I suggest you go to sleep... You may be a little confused. What is the reason that makes you think that a standard reviewed by a standards committee will be What about an unfair standard?”

Harley Price: "Because that LIN HUI is from China, they can do anything. I remember that some mobile phone manufacturers in their country will develop a test software in order to claim that their mobile phones are powerful. Only they can use that test software. Only manufacturers that make mobile phones can get high scores.

In my opinion, the LIN HUI model for measuring standards is similar to such a test software..."

Distributed computing, this involves a more interesting thing, you can use the knowledge of future generations to deceive people and steal Google's research results
