At the end of August 2013, students were already on their way back to school one after another.
The happy time is always short-lived. After nearly two months of vacation, it seems that in just a blink of an eye, the balance is insufficient and needs to be recharged.
Meng Fanqi, whose experiments, competitions and papers are all going smoothly, is still very busy this summer.
It's just that during this period, I mainly worked hard in the rental house and never went to see Dean Fu again.
First, summer vacation is still a vacation after all, although Meng Fanqi also knows very well that for professors like Dean Fu who have administrative work, have high self-requirements, and are more focused on academics. Holidays must be regarded as nothing, and this busy figure can still be seen in the office of the dean of several colleges.
The second reason is that I really don’t want to face it.
Dean Fu is quite old-fashioned in academic matters. Regardless of seniority or seniority, nor does he care about the other person’s qualifications and identity.
So when we first met, I didn't even ask for my name.
This also led to the fact that Dean Fu seemed particularly abrupt when he suddenly asked about his situation last time.
After all, they had gotten along and communicated many times. Meng Fanqi guessed at that time that Dean Fu was interested in talents and wanted to solve professional problems for himself.
Although he was afraid of causing trouble to his parents, Meng Fanqi quickly went to suspend school.
On the one hand, it is natural that he does not want to affect Dean Fu's own promotion. On the other hand, it is actually more because Meng Fanqi has already planned his development route for the next few years.
If you want to make up for your shortcomings in AI and computer-related fields, even if you are reborn, you still have a lot of knowledge and courses to make up for.
Nowadays, there is actually no need to study in this school. Meng Fanqi had no intention of returning to school this time. He had other plans.
The IMAGENET competition is a platform where world-class universities gather. After this competition, Meng Fanqi is confident that technology giants led by Google will come to his door.
With the help of Google's platform and resources, this is extremely beneficial to establishing a historical position in many directions in the early stage. It can even be said to be the best choice.
If you do this, you will have to study in the United States from now on.
Meng Fanqi does not intend to follow Bill Gates' example of dropping out of school to start a business. In his opinion, such a life is too tiring. Since I have to publish so many papers, how can I not get the degree I deserve?
Among the many options across the United States, Stanford is currently Meng Fanqi's favorite choice.
From his current perspective, Stanford's comprehensive conditions can be said to be the best in the United States.
First of all, from a subject level, Stanford’s computer, mechanical and IT programs are among the top three in the United States, and can even be said to be number one, which is in line with my direction and future employment and entrepreneurship plans.
Secondly, Stanford is right next to Silicon Valley, which not only allows me to balance my studies with my early research work at Google. There are countless technological innovation companies nearby and Stanford alumni who love entrepreneurship. These are all precious leeks for the application, dissemination and sales of many of his algorithms in the future.
Another thing is that Stanford is also the organizer of this event, and the academic style advocates freedom. If it meets his needs and best understands the value of his algorithm, there is a high probability that he will be willing to accept his admission.
Now that he had such a plan, Meng Fanqi found it difficult to answer and face the dean's kindness.
Since he had received a lot of help and guidance, he didn't know how to refuse Dean Fu's help and told him that he was ready to leave the school.
Suddenly, Meng Fanqi felt that Dean Fu looked a bit like his father.
Yanjing Electric Power University is not a strong computer school, so he never thought that he would receive such crucial and powerful help here after returning.
Although the time we got together was short, the content of the conversation rarely involved non-academic content. But such an indifferent friendship makes the relationship more pure and flawless.
After not seeing each other for several weeks, Dean Fu's office seemed to have changed little.
After meeting Meng Fanqi, he didn't mention anything about what happened during this period.
"How are you doing? Do you have any new ideas recently?"
Everything was as usual, which made Meng Fanqi breathe a sigh of relief.
"I haven't done any more research recently. I just tried my best to carefully organize and polish the things I discussed with you before. The experiments have been basically completed, and the results are basically consistent with expectations. Some of the situations that have emerged are as you predicted. .”
After all, AI is still a relatively practical subject. No matter how good the theory is, the audience will inevitably be much narrower. It is difficult to attract attention. After all, many people in the AI field only look at one or two numbers in the results when reading the paper.
"The main purpose during this period was to formally write these contents into a paper, so a lot of time was wasted."
"Looking at you holding such a thick stack of paper, I can already guess it." Dean Fu said with a smile, "On this point, I still admire you very much."
"If you have a good idea, you should understand it carefully first, rather than rushing to write a paper and submit it. Good things need to be carefully considered, and don't waste good raw materials hastily."
Meng Fanqi blushed after hearing this. He didn't rush to write because he planned to wait until it gained attention before posting. He didn't expect to be praised for it. He was really ashamed.
"Please take a look at it and give me some advice if it's convenient."
"Why are there so many?" Dean Fu took the paper and started to feel heavy. He estimated the thickness, "This must be at least a hundred pieces of paper."
During this period of time, the things that Meng Fanqi and Dean Fu had discussed and studied were distributed in many directions, and they were all parts that he did not understand well.
Therefore, what Dean Fu knew was only a small half of the total content. Now that he suddenly saw so much, he was inevitably surprised.
After all, Dean Fu is not a professional in this field. In his opinion, these issues still have many things in common, but he never expected that they would be written into so many papers.
Looking more closely at the binding, there are nearly ten chapters.
"I've asked you about the details, so there's no need to read them in detail. This time I'm bringing the finished manuscript so that you can take a quick look at it. After all, many of them have your name written on them, so I still need to formally ask you to confirm. "
While Meng Fanqi was talking, Dean Fu had already seen that three or four of the above articles had his name added to the author column.
"I'm a professor in the Department of Mathematics, and I'm not your tutor, so why should I add this name?" Dean Fu understood Meng Fanqi's intentions. If it was some shabby literature, adding his name would naturally be to increase the reputation of his academician disciple.
But he probably knew the quality of Meng Fanqi's papers.
Even because they were not professionally qualified, the horrific impact these articles would have was greatly underestimated. In terms of the quality of the article itself, it is already excellent.
Not to mention the postgraduate and doctoral students he taught, not to mention his classmates and himself. There is no one who can renovate all the mainstream tasks in such a large field as computer vision in such a short period of time.
