Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 48 Conference Report, a brand new algorithm concept!

Xue Hongtao was standing very far away when shooting the video, so the picture was not clear, the surroundings were messy, and the words spoken on the podium could not be heard clearly.

If you want to understand exactly what happened, text descriptions are more effective than videos.

So the response to the video wasn’t very good, “What the hell?”

"It seems like a meeting, right? Professor Donggang, can you make the video clearer? It makes my head hurt."

"It's a mess around here..."

"I, who graduated from elementary school, really don't deserve to watch this kind of video. I can't understand anything that is being said around me. Can you put subtitles on the key points when you post the video?"

Some people who know Xue Hongtao also posted a few comments, "Did Professor Xue go to attend an academic conference?"

“It looks shocking!”

"Big head Xue! Please make the video clearer. Which doctoral student is that? Is it the one on the stage? It's too blurry!"

It was not until he returned to the hotel that Xue Hongtao received these pieces of news.

He had posted some very shocking content, accompanied by very attractive captions, but no one paid any attention to it. He felt a little depressed.

Took a shower and lay on the bed.

He picked up his phone again and suddenly found that there was a forwarded message on Weibo. It was...

"Eastern Port University?"

Donggang University’s official Weibo account forwarded the news and added a comment explaining, “CHEP, the International Conference on Computational High Energy Physics, is the most influential international conference in the field of physical computing.

Major high-energy physics institutions around the world, including the Institute of High Energy Physics, Fermilab, CERN and more than a dozen other institutions, will send teams to attend the conference.

Those who give presentations at CHEP are the world's top data computing experts.

Our doctoral students dared to question experts at the conference, which also represented a kind of academic confidence and demonstrated..."

Everything that follows is official language.

If other doctoral students questioned the experts at the conference, it would not matter if it was forwarded by the official Donggang University.

Zhang Shuo?

Xue Hongtao asked in the comment section below the forwarded Weibo post, "Do you know who this doctoral student is?"

Not long after, 'Donggang University' gave a reply, "/Smile, are you a student of Donggang University?"

Xue Hongtao hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Congratulations, the answer is correct."

……

Xue Hongtao was somewhat disappointed that his Weibo post did not go viral.

He originally thought that he could get hundreds of reposts and thousands of comments, but until the next morning there were still only a few comments, and the number of page views only increased by a pitiful few dozen.

At the same time, he was somewhat relieved.

"If I really get angry, I won't get into trouble, right?"

Thinking of this, I feel much better.

Xue Hongtao did not see the Weibo post become popular, but he saw a surprising message in the group message.

"A PhD student published an SCI mathematics zone 2 paper!"

"She is Zhang Ping's student, a female doctor named Huang Hui!"

"Huang Hui? The one with Zhang Shuo?"

"I don't know, but I heard it's very impressive. It's in the second area of ​​mathematics. I haven't posted in the second area for three years!"

"My last SCI paper was also in zone 3, and I just managed to get there by luck. It's not easy to get into zone 2 in mathematics, you need real talent!"

"That's not right. Huang Hui has the ability to publish in Zone 2, and Zhang Shuo can even give a presentation at an international conference. Who plagiarized whom?"

"Is it a coincidence?"

"How can there be such a coincidence? It's impossible to be one in a billion."

The last few sentences expressed Xue Hongtao's feelings. His opinion on this matter was that Huang Hui knew about Zhang Shuo's research and then published the paper in advance.

Several colleagues thought so before.

The core content of the two papers is the same, and there is more than 99% chance that one of them is plagiarized.

Zhang Shuo was able to get a million-dollar project and his research was recognized by the international high-energy physics field, so it is naturally impossible for him to plagiarize a small paper with little influence.

Conversely, it was Huang Hui who plagiarized.

Now Huang Hui has published a Zone 2 mathematics paper, which also proves that she does not need to plagiarize at all and can only get a Zone 4 level paper.

This is complicated!

……

On the second day of the meeting, Zhang Shuo continued to hang around in the lecture hall.

Unlike the first day, it was hard for him to be invisible. Many people took the initiative to greet him when they saw him.

When I walked into the conference room, people I didn’t know waved and shouted, “Sit over here!”

“There’s room here!”

Zhang Shuo acted very calm. In his previous life, he was treated like this every time he attended an international conference.

Gao Xiaohong was a little uncomfortable. She sighed and said, "I feel like I can become the focus every time I stand with you."

"But I seem to be ignored..."

The last sentence talks about the sourness.

Those who took the initiative to talk to Zhang Shuo usually said something polite, then mentioned Agostini, then the report Zhang Shuo was going to give, and then said, "I'm looking forward to it!"

"Your algorithm is excellent. You may win a prize at the next conference!"

"Your lecture hall is also at No. 37, right?"

Many people are looking forward to Zhang Shuo's report, especially the heads of data centers of major high-energy physics institutions, including Roberto Castello and James Bob.

Of course, this also includes Cao Mengbo.

After the paper was published, they were all preparing for the same project, which was to create algorithmic software that could perform bias analysis on large experiments.

Similarly, all projects are in the preparation stage and have encountered the problem of 'complex algorithm logic'.

Therefore, what they were looking forward to was not the report itself, but they wanted to take the opportunity of the report to ask Zhang Shuo about his views on the calculation of deviation analysis in large-scale experiments.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the third day, many people had already arrived at Lecture Hall 37.

Because the research results have been released, the people who came were those who were truly interested in the research. The number of people was not as many as that of Agostini's report, but it was enough to be considered a full house.

Sitting in the first row were the judges, invited experts and scholar representatives of the organizer.

Most of the core personnel from major high-energy physics institutions were crowded in the second and third rows.

Kevin Cui and Bao Hexing were in the second row, Roberto Castello was also in the second row, and James Bob sat in the third row with his colleagues.

Gao Xiaohong sat in the middle row, and next to her was Xue Hongtao.

Xue Hongtao prepared a mobile phone stand and placed it on the back of the chair very professionally. He kept looking at the screen and adjusting the shooting angle.

Gao Xiaohong asked curiously, "Professor Xue, what are you doing?"

“Shoot!”

Xue Hongtao didn't even turn his head. "This is the first time that a domestic doctoral student has given a report at CHEP. It is very memorable."

Gao Xiaohong was still confused. "But, if there are professional journalists shooting videos and want to report them, they can contact the organizers..."

“I want to take a photo of the scene!”

"Why not take a photo as a souvenir? You are a professor at Donggang University, why don't you take a video of Zhang Shuo giving a presentation..."

Xue Hongtao finally looked away from the phone screen. He stared at Gao Xiaohong expressionlessly. Just now he thought it was nice to sit next to a beautiful woman, but now he just felt...

Why does she have so many questions!!
How to explain this?

Should I tell her that I just wanted to post a video to share some gossip?
Xue Hongtao was silent for a long time before he said, "Let's listen to the report."

Gao Xiaohong did not ask any further questions, but instead picked up her phone and pointed it at the stage.

Turn on the camera and record!

Xue Hongtao stared at her operation with a wide face, his eyes almost showing, "You took the video yourself, and you still blame me?"

Gao Xiaohong turned her head and glanced at him. She was just completing the work assigned by the school. How could she compare?
It's impossible that Donggang University also let Xue Hongtao film Zhang Shuo giving a report?
……

Zhang Shuo was already standing on the podium. He asked the staff to bring a whiteboard and wrote the name of the algorithm on it - Central Anchor Point Connection Analysis Experiment Simulation Deviation.

Below the name, are two boxes.

One box says 'Center Aim Line' and the other says 'Deviation Assessment'.

When he leaned on the table with both hands and looked at the audience, the venue gradually became quiet.

Zhang Shuo first introduced himself. "My name is Zhang Shuo. I am a doctoral student from Soochow University in China. I am very happy to be invited by the conference organizer to give a report here."

“My research is divided into two modules, one is center anchor connection and the other is deviation assessment.”

He held out his hand to show the audience what was on the whiteboard, then walked over and put an 'X' on the first box with a pen.

"The purpose of this set of algorithms is to cover all experimental data. It is highly substitutable. I believe many people here can think of more efficient methods, so there is no need to talk about it."

Many people in the audience nodded.

After Zhang Shuo finished speaking, he drew an 'X' on the box of deviation assessment.

There was a burst of discussion in the meeting hall.

Zhang Shuo explained, “In my paper, the description of the bias assessment system is very detailed. As long as you understand it carefully, you can understand the logic.”

“So I think there is no need to talk about it.”

Some people also nodded, they felt that what Zhang Shuo said made sense.

The entire paper has been written very clearly and there is no need to repeat it again. But the question is, what to talk about?

Everyone was interested.

Zhang Shuo walked back to the podium, chuckled and said to the audience, "I have been thinking about this for a long time these days, and I feel that it is really boring to talk about this research."

“So today, I decided to talk about a completely new algorithm concept…”
