Research starts with PhD students

A joke version of Chapter 50’s report video!
The central anchor point connection deviation evaluation algorithm gives people the feeling that it is just a novel experimental analysis method.

This was the judgment made by Gao Hongli, Liu Ye and Liao Zhenyu from the Center for Experimental Physics when the research was released at the high energy group experimental meeting. They believed that the algorithm was a very novel experimental analysis method that could help the team have a clearer grasp of the experiment.

After the paper was officially released, other scholars in the field of high-energy physics reached similar conclusions.

They hope to further study the algorithm for bias analysis of large experiments based on the central anchor point connection bias algorithm.

Large-scale particle collision experiments have high intensity, many parameters, and produce clear signals of various types of particles.

For example, the Higgs particle (God particle).

Before the Higgs boson was discovered, it only existed in theory, and the process of discovery can be understood as a process of increasing experimental intensity.

The signal of the Higgs particle is very rare. There may be only one signal among tens of billions of data, so the intensity needs to be continuously increased to make a clear measurement.

Each high-energy physics data team is thinking in the direction of "fine-tuning the deviation analysis of large-scale experiments".

In fact, they didn’t know what the purpose of the experiment was. They just subconsciously felt that using new methods to analyze data might lead to new discoveries, and the worst results could also help the experimental analysis.

Now they understand.

The goal of bias analysis in large experiments is to identify anomalies through analysis of the whole population.

The example Zhang Shuo cited was "the experimental analysis results of the algorithm used by the Institute of High Energy Physics", and many anomalies have been found in the analysis of previous particle collision experiments.

Most of the anomalies will eventually be attributed to external interference or data detection problems. Since they cannot continue to study them, they can only make a simple judgment.

The algorithm concept we are discussing now can conduct a holistic analysis of large-scale experiments, and the analysis results may help find the underlying causes of some anomalies.

It might even lead to clear new discoveries.

That's why they believe that the new algorithm could be a result that has a significant impact on high-energy physics analysis.

Next, we must be more serious.

In Zhang Shuo's report, the first part talked about the algorithm conception of large-scale experimental analysis, and the second part talked about the implementation method, that is, digitizing the simulation and then digitizing the experiment by analogy.

Then, the third step is the core, which should be about "how to achieve experimental dataization", right?
"The next step is the core content!"

"It should be a combination of bias assessment and data-based analysis. Record it quickly and write it down so you can understand it slowly when you get back."

"Once we can complete the digitization of experimental data, the framework of the algorithm will be established. The direction and method are very clear..."

A large group of people were full of anticipation.

Amid the expectation of the crowd, Zhang Shuo returned to the podium and began to summarize, "If we have this kind of analytical method, we can find the causes of some abnormal signals and even identify some new discoveries."

"So, at least in the research direction of particle collision experiments, I think what is more needed is to enhance the analytical methods rather than continue to increase the intensity of the experiments."

"With new analytical methods, we can re-examine past experimental data."

After listening to Zhang Shuo’s summary, many people had a bad feeling.

really!

His next sentence was, "The above is my algorithm concept, and the above is my report. Thank you!"

The whole place was silent, and many people were stunned.

De Bruyne-Hermans was sitting in the middle of the first row. He was the organizer and one of the report reviewers. He asked in surprise, "Is it over?"

"Yes, sir."

Zhang Shuo nodded and said as a matter of course, "I am just talking about an algorithm concept, and I only have an idea of ​​the general direction."

"Besides, I'm already out of time. I'm sorry."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

Zhang Shuo only gave a 45-minute report, and when he came on stage he emphasized that he was just talking about algorithm conception, and it was indeed time to end it.

But what about the core?

They feel like they are reading a novel, and finally after finishing the structure and foreshadowing, they are about to reach the most exciting climax, but...

Gone?

No more talking! ?

Not only will we not talk about it anymore, it’s also hard to say if there will be a follow-up, and maybe we won’t be able to wait for it in the future!

Zhang Shuo had just stepped off the stage when several scholars in the front row could not help but gather around him, "If you have any other ideas, just say them out loud!"

"Don't worry about the time of the presentation. It doesn't matter if you keep speaking until dark. To hell with the other presenters!"

"It can't end, it can't end, tell me more, tell me more..."

"You always have to answer questions, right?"

"You must have some ideas about the direction of digitizing experimental data, right? Tell me, even if it's just a rough idea..."

Many people gathered over.

Gao Xiaohong and Xue Hongtao left their seats together and did the same thing, holding their mobile phones high up and shooting inside.

The difference is that Gao Xiaohong is shorter and more shy, and she just quietly holds her phone and takes pictures.

Xue Hongtao is different.

He stood directly on an empty seat, holding his phone high up to take pictures inside, and shouted in Chinese, "Look! You must see! How popular Chinese doctoral students are."

His face even flushed with excitement, as if he was really proud of the Chinese doctoral students. In fact, what he was thinking was...

This time, it will definitely be a hit!
Bao Hexing did not push forward. He stood and watched for a while, then turned and walked towards Cao Dongming. "Director Cao, did you listen to the whole thing?"

Cao Dongming shook his head. "I had to give a report, so I came last."

Bao Hexing said, "The algorithm idea Zhang Shuo talked about is very advanced and very novel. Whether there will be any follow-up, only he knows."

"Liu Ye and Liao Zhenyu are right." "We need to develop algorithms to analyze large-scale experimental deviations, and we must cooperate with Zhang Shuo."

Cao Dongming nodded in agreement. He didn't even need to understand everything. Just looking at the enthusiasm of his peers towards Zhang Shuo, he could get a general idea.

He pondered for a moment and said seriously, "We have to think about it!"

……

End of report.

While many people were still discussing the content, Zhang Shuo only talked about the concept of an algorithm, but the direction of the algorithm was very clear and was recognized by top data experts.

Most people gave the report a high rating.

The leaders of the high-energy physics data team felt a little depressed. They were about to do this research, and the other party gave a clear direction, but only gave a general idea and stopped at the critical moment.

This is uncomfortable!
Zhang Shuoke didn't care what they thought, he just explained the general content of the algorithm.

LBNT digital analysis is very complex.

There is nothing wrong with the understanding of those data experts. The most important thing is the method of converting experimental data into numbers.

This method involves deviation assessment and digital conversion. It is a complex and rigorous system that cannot be explained clearly in a short time.

The purpose of his report is to hope that various high-energy physics institutions will not go astray and waste time on the logical analysis of deviation assessment.

Even if they gather a large number of people and complete a multi-parameter deviation assessment and analysis system, it is highly likely that they will not be able to perform the calculations.

Unless assisted by a quantum computer with computing speeds billions of times higher, large-scale quantum computers will still remain in the laboratory stage.

Faced with the enthusiastic scholars, Zhang Shuo patiently answered a few questions, then left the conference center and returned to the hotel to rest.

He turned on his phone and found that he had received several messages.

Luo Yongjun: "Is the report finished? It should be finished by now."

Sun Xingli: "How was it? Were you nervous when you were giving the report? It doesn't matter if you don't perform well. You are a doctoral student and others will understand."

Liu Zhengying: "Are you used to being abroad? When will you come back? I saw on the news that it's not safe over there. You must be careful and don't wander around."

Zhang Shuo smiled at his mother's message and immediately replied, "Don't worry, I just finished my report and am in the hotel now."

"The meeting lasts five days, and I will return home the day after tomorrow."

He had just sent the message and when he returned to the main page, he found that there was new message.

It was sent by Sun Xingli.

"Fuck, this guy is awesome! He speaks without a script, improvises freely, and gives a lecture at CHEP!"

Luo Yongjun also quickly sent a message, "The school has posted a news report about you. There is a complete video. Was it filmed by Gao Xiaohong?"

"You're really good at doing it without a script..."

Finally, he added, "I will also write without a manuscript if I have the opportunity to give a report in the future!"

At the same time, it was already six o'clock in the evening in China, and the official website of Soochow University released an announcement:

"Zhang Shuo, a doctoral student at the School of Mathematical Sciences of our university, was invited to give a 45-minute report at the International Conference on Computational High Energy Physics (CHEP).

The CHEP conference represents the highest academic level of high-energy physics computing in the world. This conference was held in Brussels, Belgium, and attracted...

Zhang Shuo, a doctoral student from the School of Mathematical Sciences of our university, was invited to attend the conference and delivered a 45-minute special report on algorithms. He explained a brand-new algorithm concept, which was well received by the conference reviewers and top international data experts..."

There is also a video link below the announcement. Click it to clearly see the full report video.

Suzhou University not only released the information on its official website, but also on its official Weibo account, with the commentary saying, “This is the first time that a doctoral student in China has been invited to give a presentation at a CHEP conference.

The algorithm concept described in the report has received unanimous praise from experts in the field of high-energy physics. "

Soochow University posted two Weibo posts in a row. One was a video of the complete report, and the other was a shot of many people surrounding Zhang Shuo to ask questions after the report, which also proved that the report was well received and sought after by experts.

After Soochow University posted the message on Weibo, several universities followed suit and later even some official media followed suit.

The content in the scientific research and academic fields is difficult to attract the attention of ordinary people, and the reports are all in English and cannot be understood at all.

Many people lose interest after just one look.

Some people just glance at it for a few seconds, then click "like" or leave a comment, "I've read it."

“This doctoral student is great!”

"What are you talking about?"

"Sorry, I only have primary school education, so I don't understand at all."

The comments in the comment section of other universities and media outlets who reposted the article were similar.

It is normal for news in the academic field to be coldly received.

It is indeed amazing in the academic circle that a doctoral student gives a report at an international conference, but most people don’t know CHEP at all, nor do they know what it stands for.

As for whether the report is exciting...

I don't understand it anyway, so what else can I say?

According to normal development, the discussion triggered by the news would have ended here. Even if there were a few more reposts at most, it would not have caused any waves in public opinion.

The turning point happened here.

In the early morning, a clearer video appeared on the Internet.

The same venue, the same angle, the video is clearer, with subtitles and even a funny report commentary.

That's like a joke version of the reporting video!
This video became an instant hit!
