Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 52 This means a lot to me, thank you!

In the restaurant.

Agostini stared at Zhang Shuo motionlessly.

He looked decadent, but his eyes were bright.

The reason why he came to find Zhang Shuo was because he had been thinking about it for three consecutive days and found that even if he went back and thought about it slowly, it would be difficult to find a solution, and the person most likely to think of a solution was Zhang Shuo.

"You know the logical relationship best. Can you provide a solution?"

Agostini asked directly.

Zhang Shuo leaned back in his seat with his arms folded across his chest, squinting his eyes as he looked at Agostini, thinking constantly in his mind.

The research progress was as high as '99%'. With the help of the system's correction of the 'research direction', he thought about it alone for a long time and it was indeed completed.

Most of the research was done by Agostini, and he only received two research coins for submitting the task, which is better than nothing.

Of course, the important thing is that he has a solution.

Bias assessment is a very complex logical system.

The signal assessment system that Agostini developed with the help of deviation assessment is also very complex.

Every signal data that enters the system will go through a series of algorithm judgments and ultimately derive a probability value and several characteristic values.

The probability value refers to the probability that the signal is a "strong signal". The probability values ​​of most signal data are above 99.9%. The probability values ​​of some signal data will be lower, but will also be above 50%.

When the probability value is above 99.9%, the signal data will be judged as a 'strong signal' and will be eliminated.

Other signals are retained and complex calculations are performed based on probability values ​​and characteristic values, and then the results can be output.

The output result will show a curve with fluctuations. Because the fluctuations are very small, it is similar to a straight line overall.

If you want the output results to show drastic fluctuations, signal data with a continuity probability value below 0.1% must appear.

This is the discovery of the weak force signal, or in other words, the discovery of the CP signal of baryons.

The probability value of 0% is where the bug in the algorithm lies.

If a signal data can completely pass the judgment of the signal evaluation system, the output probability value will be '0%', and the output result will also show a very large fluctuation.

The bug in the algorithm is clear, but it is not easy to solve.

If the signal evaluation algorithm is set to output a probability value other than 0%, the weak-force signal will be classified as an ordinary signal, and naturally it will never be possible to find a weak-force signal.

Otherwise, it is a bug.

This is a vicious circle. If you think about it carefully, you will find that fixing the bug requires overturning the entire signal evaluation system.

"There is no way to solve this problem."

"It's a vicious circle!"

"Even Boorman couldn't figure it out. Zhang Shuo's algorithm is excellent, but..."

Many people in the restaurant gathered around, asked around and discussed in low voices.

Zhang Shuo thought about it, with a slight smile on his face.

As the people around him looked on, he said, "Mr. Agostini, I do have an idea for a solution to your algorithm..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings became completely quiet.

They were just discussing in low voices, and they all felt that it was impossible for Zhang Shuo to have a solution.

Now hearing Zhang Shuo say that he had a solution, I suddenly became curious.

Can it really be solved?

impossible!
That was a problem that Agostini had been thinking about for three days and couldn't come up with a solution.

Who is Agostini?
He is recognized as one of the world's top data experts and one of the very few people who are truly classified as "super geniuses".

Zhang Shuo?

A young man who has developed a novel algorithm is also very good, but still far behind Agostini.

Zhang Shuo stood up and walked to Agostini. "Mr. Agostini, your algorithm is already perfect. It just has a problem with the judgment."

"My solution is——"

"Reset to zero!"

He paced back and forth, thinking and speaking slowly, "There is no problem with the algorithm logic of your signal evaluation system. The problem lies in the probability setting."

"You could add a step after the probability setting to set the output value of all strong signals to '1', and all signals with probability values ​​below 99.9% to '0'."

"This makes subsequent calculations easier, and the output will definitely be a straight line."

As he spoke, he took out a coin from his pocket, showed it to everyone, then flicked it into the air with his thumb, and it fell into the palm of his hand while spinning.

"This is a simple probability problem."

“When you toss a coin enough times, the probability of heads and tails appearing will be infinitely close to 50%.”

"But this algorithm doesn't look for the front side or the back side, it looks for..."

He paused and placed the coin upright on the table. "A very special upright coin!"

“Only by finding that 50% continuity can we make the output straight line fluctuate!”

Everyone stared at the coin on the table. Some people followed their thoughts and pondered the logical relationship.

Some people didn't quite understand, so they just stared at Agostini to see his reaction.

Agostini also fell into deep thought. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. He took a deep breath and said to Zhang Shuo seriously, "I dare say that you are the best algorithm genius I have ever seen!"

"Reset to zero..."

“I believe it can perfectly solve my problem.”

“This means a lot to me, thank you!”

After he said this, he seemed a little at a loss, looking around, as if he didn't know how to express his feelings.

He stood there for a long time, and suddenly bowed deeply to Zhang Shuo, with his upper body almost level with the ground.

After bowing, Agostini said seriously, "All I can think of is to thank you using the etiquette of your country."

"Thank you!"

After saying this, Agostini left quickly without looking back.

Zhang Shuo stared at his back with a puzzled look on his face, and asked Gao Xiaohong and Du Juan, "Bow, is this our etiquette?"

"It seems to be from Japan? There are some in North Korea and in our country, but I'm not sure..."

"He might be wrong!"

"grass!"

……

Everyone was shocked.

One was the surprise that Zhang Shuo actually solved the problem that Agostini couldn't think of.

Agostini was such a genius, so genius that other people could tolerate his weird personality. How could other people solve the problem that Agostini couldn't figure out in three days?
Or a young Chinese man?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it!
The way they looked at Zhang Shuo was different.

Also, Agostini actually called someone else an "algorithm genius" and bowed to him...

bow……

bow! !
Loporto Castello was stunned for a long time, and then he exclaimed with a sigh, "Bulman actually bows to others!"

“This is definitely world-class news!”

Others felt the same way, "Yeah, that's Boorman..."

"What a pity, I forgot to take a photo just now. I should have recorded this moment."

"that's too regretful!"

After a little regret, Roporto Castello walked up to Zhang Shuo and said seriously, "I now understand why you refused. Neither the ETH Zurich nor the high salary are attractive to you."

“But, on the algorithm idea you mentioned, maybe we can collaborate in other ways.”

"I think so too!"

James Bob came over and said, "Mr. Zhang Shuo, you can consider cooperating with Fermilab. My team is focusing on researching new algorithms, and your algorithm concept is our direction!"

Castello said disdainfully, “Can Fermilab still come up with funding? If you don’t finish your project, you may be laid off.”

James Bob immediately retorted unhappily, "At least I am the data director of Fermilab. What about you? You are only in name only."

"Many things are beyond your control, including Boorman. Does he listen to you? You can't fulfill your promise at all!"

Castello hurriedly explained, “Ms. Gianotti supports me!”

"That ridiculous woman?"

James Bob laughed. "After taking office, she focused most of her energy on publicity, taking reporters to visit the experimental base."

"She wants fame. Does she really care about algorithm research?"

"..."

"..."

The two of them quarreled without caring about their image. The quarrel became more and more intense, and no one could persuade them to stop.

Cao Mengbo silently walked around the two of them and came to Zhang Shuo. "After we go back, we can continue to cooperate, just like the last project."

Zhang Shuo shook his head. "Or, we can discuss a new way of cooperation."

"Ok?"

Cao Mengbo was a little confused.

Zhang Shuo sighed, "The new algorithm is too complicated."

One sentence reveals a lot.

Cao Mengbo looked at Zhang Shuo with shock on his face. They had been discussing whether there would be any follow-up to the algorithm idea that Zhang Shuo mentioned.

Now it's confirmed.

This algorithm is already in Zhang Shuo's mind!
Be sure to cooperate with him!
