Chapter 784 Computer Learning
There are 80 million in Zhou Buqi's personal account. 50 million of them were given by his parents as a reward for Wen Zhixia's birth.
This time Teacher Wen goes to work in Shanghai and will definitely buy a house of his own.
I have already chosen the location, which was recommended by Shi Jinglin's family. In the luxury area of Lujiazui, a 450-square-meter large single-story mansion, not far from the Bund, near the Town God's Temple, is priced at 15 million.
When he first talked about buying a house, Zhou Buqi subconsciously said Tomson Yipin!
How famous!
The first mansion!
As a result, Shi Jinglin laughed at him and said he was old-fashioned.
Tomson's first-class house sells for more than 40 million, which is the highest price, but the top local wealthy people simply don't go there. This is a mid- to second-class luxury house. The only advantage is that it is close to the river and in a good location. The main customer group is those who are eager to buy a house.
With the label of rich and powerful, new rich people who have entered the upper class society, as well as stars in the entertainment industry.
The real top luxury homes are all low-key and not publicized to the outside world. It is enough to communicate with the circle to get the customer base. And the more important point is that they are not sold to celebrities, even if they have money.
Zhou Buqi had been buried for a long time and was really unable to argue.
Compared with the wealthy families in Shanghai, the capital here is really just a bunch of nouveau riche and old haters.
The next day, Zhou Buqi assigned Ning Yaxian a task and asked her to help transfer a 5 million card. He took Fourth Secretary Wang Yaojin with him to meet with Shen Xiangyang, the former dean of Microsoft Research.
Previously, Xu Liangjie, Wang Haiyang and He Yang came forward one after another, and Dr. Wang Jian was the matchmaker, and the two parties had reached an agreement.
Shen Xiangyang will join Ziweixing.
M7 level, serves as chief technology officer and concurrently serves as the first president of Ziweixing Research Institute, responsible for establishing the system and framework of the research institute.
During this recruitment process, Zhou Buqi did not even show up.
This made him feel embarrassed, and he planned to take the initiative to talk to him before he officially joined the company, as a gesture of politeness as a corporal.
Dean Shen’s resume is astonishing.
They are geniuses among geniuses. Xu Liangjie, Wang Xiaochuan, Zhou Feng, Guo Pengfei and others are considered young geniuses. Their talents are outstanding in their teens. But compared with Shen Xiangyang, they are still a little behind.
Shen Xiangyang only attended junior high school for 2 years and high school for 1 year. He was admitted to Nanjing University at the age of 13. He received a master's degree from the University of Hong Kong at the age of 20, and then went to Carnegie Mellon University to study for a PhD.
The research direction of the PhD is artificial intelligence!
You know, that was 1996.
Artificial intelligence will be a hot industry 20 years later, but artificial intelligence in 1996 was the least popular among the least popular, and everything was started from scratch.
He is one of the pioneers in the field of artificial intelligence, and many of the theories he has developed are basic theories of artificial intelligence.
And more importantly, he did not change his nationality.
At Microsoft Research, his management had a big problem, and two R&D teams were poached by Baidu and Ziweixing. Microsoft headquarters was very unhappy and wanted to remove him.
How to withdraw?
He was given a higher position, senior vice president of Microsoft. Within Microsoft, there is an iron rule that all positions above vice president can only be held by Americans.
Shen Xiangyang did not agree to change his nationality, and Microsoft was willing to make an exception for him.
Because even in the United States and Silicon Valley, Shen Xiangyang is the chief scientist in the field of artificial intelligence.
Without Ziweixing, he would have resigned from Microsoft Research and would have gone to work in the United States. Microsoft was too sincere, but domestic artificial intelligence was still a desert with no chance at all.
But the appearance of Ziweixing made him see an opportunity!
At Shen Xiangyang's level, the purpose of work is no longer to make money. He has worked at Microsoft for more than ten years and has accumulated tens of millions of dollars in personally acquired stocks.
If he doesn't want to work, he will spend his whole life eating, drinking and having fun, and he won't be able to spend all his money.
The purpose of work is to do something, show personal value, and realize personal ambitions.
In the fields of semiconductors, bioengineering, materials science, basic theory and other fields, if you want to achieve higher academic achievements, you can only go abroad. China is too backward in these fields, and there are several generation gaps. If you stay in China, you can only A college student led a group of primary school students to conduct experiments and do some teaching and educating people, completely disconnecting from the world's technological frontiers.
But the Internet is different. It has a strong sharing attribute.
When working on the Internet in China, you can still read the top literature and materials, grasp the most cutting-edge technology trends, have many like-minded people with whom you can exchange views and ideas, and you can still become the person leading the entire industry.
You can not only lead the entire industry, realize personal value, achieve academic achievements, and serve the country at the same time... why not?
"In the past few years, a number of experts in the field of artificial intelligence have emerged in China. Later I discovered that you brought these people out."
In the coffee shop of Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, Zhou Buqi said half-jokingly.
Shen Xiangyang waved his hand modestly.
But there was no objection.
Because this is a fact. Among the more than 1,000 capable people currently engaged in this field in China, 90% have experience working in Microsoft Research, and they were all brought out by Dean Shen.
After a pause, Shen Xiangyang asked strangely: "You are not a computer major, why are you so interested in artificial intelligence?"
"I know this is the future."
"Good answer."
Shen Xiangyang couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Buqi said slowly: "I don't know if Xu Liangjie told you that Ziweixing currently has two internal projects, which also fall into the category of artificial intelligence."
Shen Xiangyang said: "He didn't talk to me about business matters."
Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, this is a company secret. Let me tell you. One of the projects is personalized content distribution. Basically different user information is used to distribute corresponding advertisements and advertisements through information flow. content."
"Advertising from Friends Network?"
"Yes, mainly Toutiao. This is an internal project of ours. It will be launched in September and content will be distributed."
Zhou Buqi briefly talked about the concept of Toutiao content distribution.
Shen Xiangyang thought for a while and said: "If this is the model, simple personalized distribution is not enough, it is not accurate enough. There must be more complex algorithm support, which requires the use of deep computer learning."
"What did you say?"
"Um……"
Shen Xiangyang had a headache. He was most tired of discussing in-depth technical issues with laymen, but the other party was the boss, and he had to explain. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, you ask me what 55 equals. Then I will simulate the computer and explain it to you." For a moment. If I make a mistake, you have to give the correct answer and then ask a few more times."
Zhou Buqi found it quite interesting and said with a smile: "Okay, let me ask. Ahem, what is 55?"
Shen Xiangyang said: "88."
Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment, understood what he meant, and helped him correct it, "No, what is 10.55?"
Shen Xiangyang said: "24."
"No, what is 10.55 equal to?"
"17."
"No, what is 10.55 equal to?"
"12."
"No, it's 10. What's 55?"
"10."
"By the way. What is 55?"
"10."
"What is 55?"
"10."
Shen Xiangyang gave this answer and then ended the question, "This is the logic of machine learning. Of course it is not arithmetic, but calculating the user's preference for advertisements or content. In fact, personalized delivery of advertisements cannot be based on The advertisement itself is based on the content. I have seen personalized advertisements on Friends.com, which are mainly based on the user's personal information, which is a bit rough and the accuracy is not high."
"What should be done?"
"Use machine learning to bundle advertisements and content. For example, users who read content a all like advertisement a, and the two can be connected. This is relatively simple. What is more complicated is content delivery, which requires a combination of statistical learning and neural networks. Machine learning allows the computer to learn the user's reading habits. Just like the arithmetic problem just now, the error rate is relatively large at the beginning. The more it learns, the smaller the error rate becomes, and the closer it is to the correct answer, which is the user's reading habit."
Zhou Buqi was not convinced and revealed a little secret, "Friends.com's personalized advertising distribution algorithm was developed by Facebook! Well, we are partners."
"I see..." Shen Xiangyang smiled, "Facebook's technology isn't that good either."
"Well……"
What a loud tone!
Okay, this guy is indeed qualified to ridicule Facebook for its poor technology.
Zhou Buqi continued: "There is another project that we have been working on for half a year and have no clue at all. We sent a very powerful technical expert named Xu Ming, but there was nothing he could do. He was originally from the search business group As the technical director, but the project has not progressed, I will transfer him to the research institute and you will lead him."
"What project?"
"Intelligent search, personalized search, thousands of people and thousands of pages."
In fact, it is similar to personalized content recommendation. The difference is that this time it is personalized recommendation for search results.
Shen Xiangyang's face became solemn, "This is much harder! It's harder than the personalized ads on that friend network and the personalized content on Toutiao."
"Really? Aren't they all personalized recommendations?"
"The levels are different."
"Um?"
Shen Xiangyang explained: "Technical problems often come from two points, one is complexity, and the other is scale. Engineering software such as photoshop and matlab are too complex and cannot be made domestically. Scale refers to How much data is there? An algorithm may be very effective when processing small data. But when it comes to large-scale data, the algorithm is ineffective. Just like hand-made and mechanized mass production, there is no comparison."
Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, big data."
Shen Xiangyang said: "There is one set of big data algorithms, one set of personalized algorithms, and another set of personalized algorithms under big data. This is not a simple 11=2 relationship. It requires an algorithm framework. A more optimized design. The concept of intelligent search was mentioned two years ago, but it can’t be done.”
Now, the whole world doesn’t even understand big data, and it can’t even think about derived algorithms based on big data.
Looking at it this way, Lao Shen is still more skilled, has a broader vision, and has clearer cognition!
The intelligent search project was jointly decided by Xu Liangjie, Cheng Binghao, Wang Xiaochuan and Xu Ming. They felt that this direction had great potential. However, Shen Xiangyang rejected it and said that it could not be done.
Well, for a company, the person with the best technology must be the chief technology officer.
Chapter completed!
