Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 11 This young man is incredible!
Conference Hall No. 1 in the main building.

Zhang Shuo stood on the stage with a calm expression and glanced at the people in the venue. Some were expecting, some were scrutinizing, but most of them didn't care and didn't even look up.

This is the case when scholars give reports.

When encountering content that they are not interested in, most people are not even willing to take a polite look. The doctoral student who took the stage first received the best treatment because he was the first one. When he took the stage, he received applause. However, the content of his research results was really hard to arouse people's interest.

The second doctoral student was a little worse.

Now they are simply treated coldly. Not to mention polite applause, many people don't even look up.

Zhang Shuo's expression remained calm.

He operated the computer to project the main algorithm framework diagram onto the screen, and said with a polite smile, "Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Shuo, and I'm from Soochow University."

"My research report is, 'Central Anchor Link Analysis Data Simulation Bias'!"

Many people raised their heads in confusion when they heard the name reported.

Their reaction was similar to that of Liao Zhenyu and Tian Guilin. They felt that the task of analyzing experimental data was too big for doctoral students.

Then I grasped the key point - data simulation bias?
Deviation between data and simulation?

Zhang Shuo ignored the audience's reaction and explained directly, "Some people may not understand this title, so I will explain it first."

"In simple terms, we compare the actual conditions of particle collision experiments with the simulated conditions to analyze the deviations between the experiments and the simulations."

"This deviation is multifaceted, including the escape of explosive particles, energy escape, energy loss, etc., and external interference, detection technology, equipment accuracy, and energy extreme value control, etc., will cause deviations between the actual experiment and the ideal state of simulation."

“My research is about analyzing bias!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noisy discussion in the conference room. "Are we really going to analyze the deviation between the experiment and the simulation? Then how do we do it?"

"I just thought I was wrong, but it turned out to be true. This kind of research is a bit too big!"

“It seems impossible to make it!”

Tian Guilin was a specially invited reviewer of the experimental group. He sat on the right side of a row and laughed when he heard others talking. "I was there when the research report was submitted. Professor Liao and I discussed that this kind of research is simply not something a doctoral student can accomplish."

"Don't even mention being a doctoral student. He doesn't even qualify. The lowest he can get is a Young Elite Scholar. Even that is research that an institution has to devote all its efforts to complete!"

The person next to him immediately asked, "So, his research is not completed, or there is a problem? Have you found the problem?"

Tian Guilin shook his head and smiled, "The report is just an introduction, the content is too little. Now we are doing the review, isn't it to find problems?"

First row, middle.

Academician Gao Hongli frowned and asked Liu Ye, "Sudong University, this is your B area research, did you know that?"

Liu Ye nodded. "Professor Luo Yongjun asked me to apply for the experimental simulation code. I also felt that the content was very novel at the time. No one had ever done the comparison between experiment and simulation before. However, the content was too large."

“The direction is really interesting.”

Gao Hongli made a brief comment and continued, "Listen."

Many people find the content novel and want to hear the specific analysis of how it was done, but they are not optimistic about the research itself and believe that there must be some problems.

Zhang Shuo waited patiently on the stage until the discussion died down a bit, then he continued, "The main algorithm I use starts from the central anchor point and continuously connects with nearby data, eventually connecting all the data information."

"Every time a point is connected, the main algorithm program will be used to evaluate and judge its data. The evaluation will give a specific value, which will then be compared to the simulated ideal..."

At this time, many people pricked up their ears and listened carefully, and also tried to understand the algorithm framework on the projection screen.

Everyone has different ideas.

Some people find the research novel, regardless of whether there are any specific problems, but the direction of the research and the methods used may provide inspiration for their own research.

That's what scientific research is.

One of the important significances of academic conferences is to provide scholars with a platform for face-to-face communication. Scholars should communicate with each other, understand other people's research, and broaden their horizons, so that they can more easily find inspiration and direction.

Some people simply think of "finding problems".

The research on deviation analysis of experiments and simulations is very complicated just by listening to the title. Particle collision is not a simple collision of two spheres. In reality, it can be understood as an "explosion" or "burst". The collision takes place at the microscopic level, and even most of the data are calculated. The complexity of the research deviation is enough to make one's brain explode.

What's more, the person doing the research is just a doctoral student.

A PhD student...

……

Zhang Shuo explained the main algorithm framework diagram one by one.

The central anchor point connection algorithm is relatively simple. As long as you understand the general framework, you can understand how to connect all the data.

The only thing to pay attention to is whether the program is designed in a comprehensive manner. This has nothing to do with research.

Research is to explain the direction and prove that the problem can be solved. Whether all the data can be connected is a matter of programming and a technical issue.

The explanation moves on to the next step - deviation assessment.

When it came to this part, the audience listened more attentively, as they found the comparative evaluation method to be very clever.

The related data generated in the experiment will correspond to different evaluation methods, and the different evaluation results will be compared with each other and then corrected using specific algorithms.

At this time, some people have already realized that "the center anchor point algorithm mentioned at the beginning is just an introduction and is replaceable."

“The core of the research lies in the bias assessment system!”

“The combination of such an evaluation system and algorithm may minimize the bias in data analysis. The calculation logic contained therein…”

"It's amazing!"

Academician Gao Hongli, who was sitting in the middle of the front row, had been listening attentively. He followed the explanation and thought about it, and came to the same conclusion.

Taking advantage of the break in his explanation, Gao Hongli turned to Liu Ye and said, "This research has exceeded the conference standards."

"I haven't heard any problems yet, and I can't tell if there are any problems. I guess it's the same for other people..."

He said, looking to both sides.

The judges were all listening and thinking carefully, and none of them looked relaxed, which showed that they felt similar to Gao Hongli.

They have no way to judge whether the research is right or wrong. One reason is that the research is too complicated and the algorithm logic is too complicated. Another reason is that it is also related to the professional direction.

Most of the people present were scholars in the fields of mathematics, quantum physics, and high-energy physics. Zhang Shuo's research was in mathematical computers, which involved issues of complexity theory. Even with a detailed explanation, the logic was still confusing.

The judges in the front row were confused, and the doctoral students in the back row were even more confused. They were not listening at all, but were discussing Zhang Shuo. "Is there a doctoral student on the stage?"

"Why is the logical relationship he talks about so complicated?"

"Maybe it involves complexity theory? I don't understand it at all. I have never come across complexity theory before."

“Mathematics, there is still this direction?”

"I also want to learn complexity theory. When I talk about professional things, it feels great if I can confuse people..."

……

Zhang Shuo spoke for forty minutes straight, then paused for a moment to drink some water, and another forty minutes passed.

He talked about the last module of bias assessment.

The function of this module is to 'summarize and correct', and the results will be displayed at the end, and a 'comparison deviation value' will be obtained.

After the explanation, he made a brief summary, "The combination of the functions of each algorithm module can minimize the experimental detection deviation. Finally, it can be compared with the simulation to analyze the impact of external factors on the experiment itself."

He turned his head and faced the audience. "I personally think that the center anchor point connection algorithm is relatively complicated. Even analyzing a small particle collision experiment requires a lot of calculations to get the results."

"If we can develop an algorithm that can directly perform numerical analysis, the efficiency may be increased several times."

Finally, let's talk about the LBnt analysis method.

Zhang Shuo just briefly talked about it, then he exhaled and laughed, "The above is my research, thank you everyone!"

The venue was silent for a moment.

Many people were still thinking about the complex logical relationships when they realized that the young man on the stage had already completed the report.

Luo Yongjun was the first to react. He stood up and clapped excitedly. Liu Chengjie, Gao Xiaohong and others who knew Zhang Shuo also applauded.

soon.

The venue burst into warm applause!

Academician Gao Hongli clapped his hands a few times, stood up and shook hands with Zhang Shuo, then patted him on the shoulder, "Zhang Shuo, right?"

“I am not sure whether your research, especially the bias assessment system, has formed a logical closed loop.”

He said with a full sigh, "But I am sure that this research is amazing!"

"You, young man, are also amazing!"

"—!"
