Wang Hao walked off the podium, exchanged greetings with many scholars, then sat down again and continued to listen to the remaining reports.
Many people are still discussing it.
Top academic conferences are also indispensable for 'error' reports, but they usually only appear in the reports of less famous scholars, or simply 'PhD students'. Famous scholars give reports at conferences, and major errors are still very rare. of.
In addition, the paper needs to be reviewed twice, and most of the errors are only minor errors.
The problem with Themis-Gorlix and Almaros is that they did not know that the research was wrong and almost 'fooled' everyone with their clear logic. If it were not for the 'Fourier transform to assist in constructing a mathematical model' The author is present, and there is a high probability that a wrong paper will be included in the STACS conference, and the 'Best Paper Award' may even be awarded to this wrong paper.
The impact of this paper will be very large when it is published, but because problems can be found through data verification, it will definitely be questioned quickly and errors will be discovered.
At that time, the reputation of the STACS conference will be affected, and its weight will also be affected.
The organizer of the STACS conference should thank Wang Hao for pointing out the error.
The reason why this paper can 'deceive' almost everyone is because of two new methods, one is the 'divide and conquer method' and the other is 'Fourier transform-assisted construction of mathematical models'. Both methods are very clever. , many people at the venue felt bright and subconsciously felt that there was such a clever method, and the logic was very clear, and the possibility of errors in the content was very low.
Another important reason is that Themis Gorliks is a famous professor at the University of Helsinki in Finland. He has a certain reputation in Europe and even the world. He has won several awards related to computer theory. It is said that he will also win this year's award. Became a candidate for the Turing Award.
It is uncertain whether Themis-Gorliks will win the Turing Award, but being nominated for the award already surpasses most scholars.
The Turing Award is the most important award in the field of computer information technology.
When such a famous scholar publishes a major achievement report, doubts will naturally be much smaller.
After seeing Wang Hao directly pointing out research errors, many scholars felt that this trip was worthwhile.
Scenes like this are rarely seen.
At the same time, more people learned about Wang Hao's report and became very interested in the content of the "large number multiplication algorithm" mentioned in the report.
…
noon.
Wang Hao, Ruan Hailong, and Sha Mian had a simple meal together in the restaurant. During the process, the topic was all about what happened in the morning.
"If this matter spreads back to China, it will definitely be a big news in the academic world. Point out Gorlix's mistake on the spot!"
"That's Themis Gorlix!"
"It's better to be better than a master!" Sha Mianzhi shook his head with a wry smile, "If it were me, I would definitely check first to see if my understanding is wrong."
Wang Hao didn't care, "Because that method was developed by me, so I can naturally identify the problem."
"Right."
The others said a few words and then stopped.
There is no point in talking about the same thing too much. They all keep it in their hearts, thinking that after returning home, talking about it to other people will also be a source of conversation.
For Wang Hao, this was just an episode.
In the afternoon, he continued to listen carefully to the report. Some research that was not taken seriously may often be helpful to his research. The opportunity to participate in top professional academic conferences was very precious. Listen more if you can, and listen to other people's research. The research direction and research content may become a good reference for yourself.
At the same time, the inspiration value gain is also great.
【Task 2】
[Inspiration value: 4. 】
Four points of inspiration may not sound like much, but considering the difficulty of A-level research and just listening to the report, it can be said to be quite high.
The next day soon came.
Wang Hao and Ruan Hailong still came very early, arriving half an hour before the report meeting started. They found a seat to sit down and noticed two figures in the back row.
"Themis Gorlix?"
"Almarov?"
Wang Hao and Gorliks looked at each other and nodded towards each other. Gorliks seemed not to see Wang Hao and turned his head to pretend to talk to Almalov.
Wang Hao didn't care either.
Similar things are not common in normal people's social life, but it is too common in academic circles. Most scholars are not good at politeness and hypocrisy, or in other words, they don't bother to use fake smiles to please others. In most situations, That's not going to happen at all.
soon.
The report meeting officially begins.
Sha Mianzhi, Wang Mingkun and Xu Jie still came together and sat next to Wang Hao, but they were obviously a little nervous compared to yesterday because they were about to go on stage to give a report.
Sha Mianzhi and Wang Mingkun both held a stack of manuscripts in their hands and kept looking down at them, as if they were students preparing for the exam.
Finally, it came.
Most of the reports ranked first in the morning were small studies and could not last long. Sha Mianzhi's research was ranked as the finale. After many people "entered the state" from childhood research, it was their turn to appear.
Sha Mianzhi and Wang Mingkun walked onto the stage together.
The two formed a team with Sha Mianzhi as the main one, and Wang Mingkun standing by as a 'support'. They were all a little nervous, but because the research had substantial content, they quickly got into the mood with the explanation.
IO, indistinguishable obfuscation, is a black technology in cryptography. It can not only hide data collections, but also hide the inner working mechanism of computer programs and create powerful encryption tools.
But officially because of this power, people doubt whether IO really exists.
The research of Sha Mianzhi and Wang Mingkun is about building security for IO. They show how to build unique IO using only standard security assumptions, and provide a theoretical perspective that can build multiple encryption tools in a timely manner. The way.
It's no wonder that research of this level is put on the 'finale' stage.
Sha Mianzhi's explanation lasted for about forty-five minutes, and the next ten minutes were left for Wang Mingkun to answer questions. When the two came off the stage together, there was thunderous applause from the audience, which represented the recognition of the research by the participating scholars. .
One of the reviewers stood up and commented, "This is indeed an excellent theoretical work that promotes the improvement of theoretical mechanisms in the computer field."
Together with Sha Mianzhi and Wang Mingkun, several judges and guests shook hands and received several compliments. When they sat back, their faces were all red and very excited because their research was recognized, which can be said to be the best among others. All reports, even yesterday’s research report by a professor at Oxford University, are a little worse in comparison.
This is indeed something to get excited about.
If we expand the scope, Chinese faces are rare in top international professional academic conferences. The same is true for this STACS conference. There were hundreds of scholars participating in the conference, but only less than 20 Chinese faces could be found. Among them Another half are foreign scholars.
Domestic scholars are rarely represented at top academic conferences, and it is definitely very difficult to "take the lead" in theoretical computer conferences.
Wang Hao also gave Sha Mianzhi a thumbs up and praised, "Teacher Sha, your research is very difficult, very meaningful, and very remarkable."
"thanks, thanks!"
Sha Mianzhi and Wang Mingkun's excitement lasted until noon, and they seemed to get better during the meal.
Sha Mianzhi did not forget to remind Wang Hao, "Wang Hao, you must be mentally prepared. Yesterday you came on stage to point out your mistakes and your performance was very impressive. It is estimated that many people will listen to your report in the afternoon."
Being in the spotlight also brings pressure.
If it is just a small achievement, it is also a good thing to schedule it at a time when it is not taken seriously.
Wang Hao's performance yesterday was too eye-catching and attracted the attention of many people. There will definitely be many people going to listen to the report, but the result is a small result. It is like being on a big stage that attracts everyone's attention, but the performance is small. Children's magic tricks will definitely be a little embarrassing and difficult to perform.
Wang Hao smiled and said, "Teacher Sha, don't you remember? I told you that I would compete with you for the best paper."
Sha Mianzhi immediately opened his mouth in surprise, and it took him a long time to say, "Isn't that a joke?"
…
After lunch, he went back to the hotel to rest for a while, and then went directly to the venue. After arriving at the second lecture hall, Wang Hao went to the backstage to find the staff and talked about the electronic screen projection of the podium.
When we returned to the venue, it was already crowded.
The second lecture hall is relatively smaller, and can only accommodate more than two hundred people. The number of people is obviously smaller than yesterday morning, but it seems that there are a lot of people crowded in the second lecture hall.
A row of judges and invited experts sat in front.
Sha Mianzhi, Wang Mingkun, Xu Jie and Ruan Hailong were sitting together on the edge of the second row. They could not occupy the middle position, but there was a familiar face in the middle of the second row.
It's Themis Gorlix.
When Wang Hao looked towards the middle, Gorlix took the initiative to smile at him, and Wang Hao nodded symbolically.
Then he spoke.
"Since I came here, people have been asking me, is my research on large number multiplication algorithm an improvement or an innovation?"
"Improvement is just a small result; innovation may be a big result, but it may be wrong, because there has been no innovation in large number multiplication algorithms for many years."
"Now that I'm standing here, I can answer: 'It's an improvement, it's also an innovation'. What does that mean? We still have to start with the discrete Fourier transform..."
Wang Hao started to explain.
