"Classmate, are you okay?" Han Ci's dress looked simple and concise. Meng Fanqi thought she was a well-behaved and good student. Seeing that she seemed to be in trouble, she decided to take care of her.
This is actually a polite form of politeness that does not convey the meaning. When you ask someone if they are okay, it usually means that the other person is very worried.
"No...it's okay." Han Ci felt a little embarrassed and quickly adjusted his mood.
Pretend nothing happened.
But the word on her computer was still stuck there, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
"Um...classmate, your program seems to be unresponsive." Meng Fanqi saw her staring at the screen and couldn't figure out what to see. Didn't a window pop up and block the middle?
Han Ci blushed. She felt that her intelligence was being underestimated. This was relatively rare in her life experience, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"This is what happens when there are too many editing formulas in Word." Meng Fanqi looked at her screen carefully and finally understood what was going on. "It is easy to get stuck, and there is a small chance that garbled characters will appear. Forgot to save or accidentally It’s very troublesome to save garbled characters.”
"Besides, don't your mathematics department use LaTeX methods?" If it is understandable that other liberal arts majors have always used word, students in the mathematics department should still be exposed to LaTeX very early.
"Your instructor didn't remind you either." Meng Fanqi thought she was already in graduate school, and sighed inwardly that this senior looked so young.
"I... I'm just a senior, and this is my first time writing a thesis." Han Ci had already identified a mentor in his junior year, who was Academician E Weinan of Yenching University. But she actually didn't have much communication or interaction with her future mentor.
On the one hand, the time has not come yet. Although she has repeatedly skipped grades, she is still one year away from officially entering graduate school. On the other hand, although Academician E Weinan is a professor at Yenching University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. But he also has experience in the United States. He served at Princeton and was elected to the American Mathematical Society.
There are advantages and disadvantages to choosing a big man as a mentor. It is easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree, but when the tree is too big, it is really difficult to take care of the three or two kittens and puppies underneath. We may not see him for several months or even a few times a year.
Everything depends on man-made efforts, so Han Ci plans to gain attention through his own efforts.
After listening to the other party's explanation of the inside story, Meng Fanqi suddenly realized it and decided to lend a helping hand to save the victim of the genuine word. So he brought his computer and introduced it.
"Sister, if you write a paper like this, even the formulas will be in the form of ordinary text. Strange symbols can also be queried and replaced in batches. As for the formula numbers, they will be automatically generated."
Meng Fanqi demonstrated a few basic functions for Hanci and continued, "You can also give pictures, tables or formulas a familiar name, and whenever you mention the content, just quote it directly,\ref{} This name."
"As for the citation of the paper, it is also very convenient. When you read the paper, click 'Citation' under the article, select BibTeX, and copy it to this bib file. Did you see the first line here? You can name it whatever you want. Modify it to something you can easily remember. Then the name \cite{} can be quoted at any time in the text. Its detailed information will automatically appear at the end, and the format will be changed automatically."
"Wow, is it so magical?" Han Ci felt that the door to a new world had opened to him.
"Where does this go? You still need to enter complex formulas yourself." Meng Fanqi shook his head. Although LaTeX can easily display and modify formulas, it is still relatively cumbersome to input them. "When image AI technology matures in two years, I can write the formulas by hand and automatically generate various formats just by taking a photo."
Meng Fanqi still remembers the Mathpix plug-in, which is extremely easy to use. Whether it's a handwritten formula or a formula you see, as long as you take a screenshot, you can directly convert it to LaTeX format and copy it into your own paper. It's like sharingan.
"Are you talking about OCR technology?" Han Ci may have heard of it a little bit, "But it hasn't been developed yet. I remember that recognizing some numbers is already the limit."
"It won't be long." Han Ci really didn't expect that Meng Fanqi's sentence "won't be long" at this time actually meant "it won't be long, I will take action." He thought he was too optimistic about this aspect. .
"What are you writing? Aren't you a graduate student? Why do you call me senior?" Girls are always a little concerned about age, especially Han Ci, who skipped grades continuously and was always looked down upon by younger juniors wherever he went. After being called senior a few times in a row, I became very concerned.
At this moment, seeing Meng Fanqi also writing a paper, I felt that this man deliberately called himself old. How many undergraduates can write papers in English so professionally? Such a masterful use of tools and formats.
Han Ci read the abstract of the article carefully. This is a brief description of the algorithm Meng Fanqi plans to use for the year-end competition.
"It is very difficult to train deeper neural networks. We have proposed a concise method that greatly improves the situation and allows the depth of the network to be deepened ten times or even a hundred times, making it possible to train neural networks with hundreds or thousands of layers.
We explicitly remap the layer's learning function into a residual form, proving that this approach is easier to optimize and can achieve significantly higher performance.
The ability to express depth is particularly important in visual tasks. We have provided relevant analysis and achieved xxx results on data sets such as IMAGENET and CIFAR. "
There are currently no accurate figures for the xxx part. Meng Fanqi still needs to complete the learning rate warm-up, batch normalization, hybrid enhancement and other relatively easy-to-implement tips before the experiment can be officially carried out. So it's empty here for now.
After reading it, Han Ci felt that the summary was concise and concise, and the English words and grammar were just right. However, she had little experience in English writing, so she didn't quite understand what it felt like.
Although I can't tell clearly, it looks pretty powerful.
"Brother, are you studying software engineering? Or computer science?" Han Ci is very interested in this content. Her tutor for next year, E Weinan, is actively promoting big data, applied mathematics and data science at Yenching University. Neural networks are naturally also on his radar. "My mentor seems to be working on this as well, and is promoting a big data research center."
Strictly speaking, although Academician Hubei was born in Mathematics with a bachelor's degree and a Ph.D., he was also a professor in the Department of Mathematics when he was in the United States. But after returning to Yenching University, what he is developing is actually the direction of big data.
However, at this time, there were no undergraduate majors in data science and big data in China, so Academician E Weinan mainly recruited talents and students from the Department of Mathematics.
"I'm only a sophomore, why do you call me senior brother?" Meng Fanqi was puzzled.
"I'm only eighteen, why do you call me senior sister?"
"A senior in college at the age of 18?" Meng Fanqi was stunned. He seemed to be a young genius.
"Um, should I call you senior or junior?" Meng Fanqi pondered for a moment, "Forget it, let's talk about it ourselves. Girls call themselves eighteen anyway."
