"I don't know when this last paper will be published. The review efficiency of the editorial board is a bit poor. If it doesn't work, I really need to use my brain to overclock it."
September 16, 2017, Jingzhou City, Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics, Peking University.
In the morning, Xu Yun was sitting in his independent office. There were a lot of draft papers filled with mathematical formulas and symbols piled on the table next to him. His bright eyes were staring at the web page of the core journal in the field of artificial intelligence that was being refreshed on the screen, and he murmured from time to time. Two sentences.
It has been a month since the last submission. Perhaps because of the long review cycle of core journals, it is still in the review stage.
The main reason is that he is not the only author of this paper, so he certainly cannot submit to a journal in order to shorten the review cycle.
The other five papers he wrote independently have been successfully published in the past few days.
In other words, as long as this paper is accepted, he will have successfully completed the advanced task and can get the special reward.
Since the research on the intelligent auxiliary diagnosis system was officially concluded last month, the number of times he goes to the scientific research office has decreased significantly.
Basically, Yang Ningkun and the others are responsible for subsequent optimization in preparation for attending the Jingzhou Medical Technology Conference in a few days.
During this time, he was busy constructing algorithms to train intelligent models, which was equivalent to changing his thinking and way of studying mathematics. Therefore, after the project was completed, he planned to formally start improving topological group theory.
Want to see if new inspiration can be born.
After all, he has already learned the textbook knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence, and what is left is to participate in the topic to consolidate his understanding.
Before you find a suitable topic, you must make full use of your time.
There’s nothing like a better place to study mathematics.
In any case, he is a member of the Institute for Advanced Mathematics at Peking University, and he will definitely promote mathematical research in the institute.
Unlike learning algebraic geometry and topology, this is mastering existing knowledge by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Topological group theory is not.
It is no exaggeration to say that his topological group theory is equivalent to opening a new subject.
There is a world of difference in difficulty between the two.
Because of this, nearly a month has passed, and topological group theory still has not made any breakthrough.
As he continued to be immersed in this state, his brain overclocked and entered his thoughts again.
I plan to turn on brain overclocking to completely solve the problem of topological group theory.
I just thought that getting rewards from advanced tasks would increase the brain development rate by another 1% on the original basis. I finally decided to wait until I experienced the reward effects.
Perhaps the improvement of hardware can lead to an increase in software, so that we can come up with the inspiration to improve topological group theory.
This will at least save you a lot of points and energy capsules.
For this reason, the first thing he does every day these days is to check the status of his paper.
Almost as soon as the words fell, the submission status page was finally refreshed, showing the latest status of the manuscript.
The first is the name of the paper.
very long.
"Application of intelligent diagnostic system based on artificial intelligence deep learning image reconstruction algorithm in lung diseases."
But when his eyes fell on it, he was attracted by the string of English letters.
Because this string of letters is so familiar to him.
"Completed accept"
"The manuscript was successfully accepted. Has the review efficiency suddenly become faster?"
Temporarily suppressing the excitement in my heart, I refreshed again to confirm that the paper had passed the review. The expression on my face was finally replaced by joy.
According to his previous information, the average review cycle of this journal is more than two months.
I didn't expect that my time would be cut in half.
"correct."
Something suddenly occurred to him the next second. He didn't bother telling Yang Ningkun, Wang Bo and the others the good news, and immediately opened the light screen panel in front of him.
"A total of ten SCI academic papers have been successfully published, and the reward is to increase the brain development rate."
When the reminder message accompanying the completion of the task came into view, Xu Yun first felt a strange wave appear in his mind, and then quickly disappeared as if it had never appeared.
It's like upgrading the graphics card of the computer. There seems to be no special change after booting.
But you can only experience the powerful performance when playing games.
"Try it first and then talk."
Xu Yun didn't think too much about this, then picked up the pen and leaned over the draft paper next to him to continue calculating.
When his brain began to work at high speed, he suddenly found that his reaction speed was much faster.
The formula in hand hasn't been written yet, but my mind has already calculated the subsequent steps and results.
There is even a corresponding mathematical model in his mind to assist him in calculation and demonstration.
If it took him half a year to perfect the optimal version of topological group theory before, then after the brain development rate increases, this time is expected to be shortened to four months or even three months.
With the substantial increase in efficiency, he finally had the confidence to perfect topological group theory without turning on his brain overclocking.
Just when he was about to continue his research, his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden ringtone from his cell phone.
He stopped for a moment and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. He saw the two words "department director" displayed on the incoming call screen.
"Why did Lao Qian call me at this time?"
Thinking that he had not returned to the dormitory since the beginning of the summer vacation, he was worried that something important might happen to the three of them, so he hesitated and immediately answered the phone.
As soon as he put the phone to his ear, he heard Qian Yudong's voice coming from the receiver.
"Xu Yun."
"are you in the school?"
"problem occurs."
A few short words made a question mark appear in his mind. He didn't know what Qian Yudong was talking about.
"I'll be there later."
He responded in a deep voice, then ended the call and planned to go back to the dormitory to see the specific situation in person.
Breaking away from the high-speed mental state, he first raised his left hand and touched his forehead.
After making sure that the temperature didn't rise much, he turned off the computer and got up with his cell phone and walked outside.
The human brain is also a precision instrument. The calculation speed far exceeding that of ordinary people will inevitably cause the internal temperature to rise. Fortunately, it seems that this increase will not have much impact on him.
…
…
"Do you have anything to eat? Give me some first."
Xu Yun's first words when he walked into the dormitory were not to ask about specific matters, but to ask for food from several people.
Xu Yun also expressed some helplessness about the occurrence of such a thing.
It was obviously not a long journey from the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics, but he felt hungry.
It was obviously not long after breakfast.
After thinking about it for a while, he thought it was probably due to the increased speed of his brain power.
Compared with physical work, mental work also consumes a lot of energy.
This is also why energy capsules are needed to assist in turning on brain overclocking.
Now that his brain hardware has improved compared to ordinary people, his demand for energy will naturally increase.
However, this actually made him happy. Fortunately, the degree of mental improvement this time was not that great.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will become a loser in the future.
"What's wrong, Brother Xu, no matter how busy you are, you can't skip breakfast." Zhao Yuefeng, who had a short haircut, took out a bag of bread and handed it over: "I happen to have a bag of bread here that I haven't eaten yet."
"Then I'll help you eliminate them."
Xu Yun didn't explain, took the bread, replied and opened it directly.
After taking a few bites, he turned his attention to Qian Yudong and asked about what happened on the phone just now.
"I haven't asked you yet, principal, what did you say?"
"It's about you."
"About me?" Xu Yun asked vaguely, chewing bread in his mouth.
At this time, Qian Yudong no longer held back, and took the initiative to hand over his mobile phone as a reminder.
"You'd better see for yourself first, it's not easy to talk about."
After listening to Qian Yudong's words, Xu Yun's curiosity suddenly increased a lot.
He immediately took the phone and lowered his gaze to check the content on it, wanting to know what Qian Yudong was talking about.
What caught my eye was a question from Zhihu. I don’t know if the poster’s real name is Pang Guang.
Over half a million views.
But this question made him frown slightly.
“What do you think about the mathematical genius Xu Yun publishing five papers in one month?”
Sliding down the screen along the question, the answer with the most comments was posted by the account named Pang Guang.
At a glance, the entire content basically affirmed his mathematical talent and achievements in the field of mathematics, but then the conversation changed and accused him of not perfecting topological group theory, publishing low-quality papers, and studying artificial intelligence. A waste of talent.
Yes.
The other party used the word waste of talent.
Compared with the two papers in the Annals of Mathematics where he proved the Hodge conjecture and the existence of infinite prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence, the academic value of the several newly published papers is indeed much lower.
But Xu Yun does not think that his paper is a fake.
The most intolerable thing is that the other party actually commented that he would not have much development in the field of artificial intelligence.
You should pull back from the cliff early and devote all your energy to mathematics.
Holding back his emotions for the time being, he casually clicked to answer the many comments that followed.
"If you don't quickly study number theory with such a talented person, why not go to artificial intelligence?"
"Mathematics is still more dependent on young people. If you don't prove a few difficult problems now, it will only become harder in the future."
"Is this a scam? I publish so many papers in a month."
"Wouldn't it be better for Xu Shen to have perfected topological group theory earlier? Please."
"I have read all five papers, and the content is actually quite good. I think they are too much."
"Artificial intelligence has no future, so we should give up as soon as possible."
"I think the field of artificial intelligence is the specific application of mathematics. What's the use of studying theoretical mathematics alone."
…
After roughly reading the content on his phone, Xu Yun just wanted to say a word to the account named Pang Guang.
What do I study that has anything to do with you?
He was sure that the other party obviously did not read the content of the paper, but only knew that he had published five papers and then went online.
He also threatened that he would not develop much in the field of artificial intelligence.
If the latest paper hadn't just been drafted, I believe no one would have said such a thing.
The development of science is inseparable from mathematics, but it is not enough to just study theories without applying them to concrete applications.
He didn't bother to talk to this kind of person. After all, he was also a popular figure in the mathematics community. There were countless discussions about him on the Internet every day. If everyone responded, he might not even have time to study.
