Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 84 This is not normal!

The entire report was given by three people, including Zhang Shuo, Agostini and Kalvaher.

Everyone subconsciously thought that Agostini would be the main speaker because he was a recognized super genius and would be the core figure of the research.

The core person will definitely explain the most core content, which is also the part most prone to errors.

So, everyone got serious.

Agostini walked onto the stage. He operated the computer to project a textual narrative onto the screen, then said, "Let me explain the algorithm logic."

"The algorithm logic, that is, how the calculation method proves that the hyperon decay signal conversion method cannot find the baryon cp signal."

"More precisely, why can the algorithm's calculation output prove that the baryonic cp signal is hidden under the conventional signal..."

Agostini began his explanation.

What he talked about was algorithmic logic, which did not involve core algorithmic issues and was also connected to Kalvaher's content.

Kalvaher explained the introduction of the algorithm and sorted out the framework. Agostini talked about the algorithm logic to explain why the algorithm is effective.

The scholars in the first few rows were a little confused, not because they didn't understand the content, but because they thought that this part should be spoken by Zhang Shuo.

The algorithm logic is critical, but it generally does not go wrong.

If there are errors in the algorithmic logic, the conference will never accept the paper. What is written in the paper are all algorithmic logic problems, that is, describing how the calculation achieves the goal.

The specific implementation method depends on the calculation and output logic within the program.

When they realized that Agostini was talking about algorithmic logic, many people in the audience stopped listening carefully.

Francisco and Greyward looked at each other from a distance, with some surprise on their faces.

Tan Zhiming was sitting next to Francisco. He whispered, "I've heard the algorithm logic."

"Zhang Shuo said that in our computing center, they were using data to verify..."

"There are generally no problems."

“Normally there won’t be any problem.”

Francisco shook his head and asked in confusion, "Are you familiar with Zhang Shuo? Who will explain the core of the algorithm next, Boorman or Zhang Shuo?"

"I don't know about that." Tan Zhiming shook his head.

Nobel Prize winner Anne Lüller in the first row was discussing the same question with Andreas Hoch next to her.

Andreas Hoch is a famous theoretical physicist who was responsible for reviewing the conference papers. It was he who decided to invite Aksteini's team to give a report at the conference.

Lüllie asked, “Is there any problem with the algorithm logic of this research?”

"Although it is complicated, there is no problem." Andreas Hawke nodded affirmatively, "If there is a problem, it should be in the core algorithm. The paper submitted to the conference only has a simple description."

"That part certainly won't be written clearly."

Anne-Lullier nodded in understanding. It is impossible for an algorithm paper to be fully explained, otherwise the entire program would have to be sent over.

That is definitely a huge volume.

Even for the core algorithm part, I just copied the important codes and put them in the paper, making the main logic clear.

That's enough.

Because it was a report to be given at a conference rather than a paper to be published in an academic journal, and given Agostini's personal fame and influence, there was no need to write in too much detail.

"Agostini talked about algorithmic logic, so he shouldn't be the one with the core algorithm, right?"

Anne-Lurier said this, and she and Andreas looked at the young faces sitting at the podium.

That's really young.

In the entire venue, including other staff members, it is hard to find anyone younger than him.

He is here to explain the core algorithms, so at the very least he is Agostini's equal partner, right?
An equal partner of Boorman-Agostini?
A young man in his early twenties...

Everyone who realized this was very surprised. They originally thought that Zhang Shuo had only made a small contribution, at most publishing a paper as the second author.

Now it seems different from what I imagined!

……

The algorithm logic is indeed very complex.

Agostini spoke for about forty minutes straight. After taking a break to drink some water, he went on stage and spoke for more than twenty minutes before he finally finished the entire speech.

He stood on the stage in high spirits, looked at the people in the meeting room and asked loudly, "Any questions?"

The venue was quiet.

There are generally no problems with algorithm logic, and people who can understand it know that there is no problem.

If I don’t understand, I won’t ask questions casually.

Francesco, who had previously said that he wanted to confront Agostini head-on, shut up because there was nothing to ask about the algorithm logic.

If there is a problem, it has been pointed out long ago.

If he deliberately asked questions, Agostini would answer them seriously, but after answering, he would inevitably add a comment, "Your questions are really low-level."

"If you can't even sort out such simple logic, I really don't know how you have survived all these years."

"Your level of comprehension is problematic. I suggest you see a doctor. This could be a precursor to Alzheimer's..."

Francesco knew Agostini well.

This is what Agostini thought. After he finished his explanation, he was ready to start a battle - answering questions and making some sarcastic remarks about the IQ of the questioners.

This process will make you feel happy!
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, no one stood up, so he could only keep asking, "Does anyone have any questions?"

"Anyone got any questions?"

"If you don't understand, tell me and I can explain it in detail. I can answer any question..."

Andreas couldn't bear it any longer.

He waved his hand at Agostini, as if to shoo away a fly, and said, "Boorman, either you continue talking or get off, don't waste time!"

Agostini pouted in dissatisfaction, but still slowly packed up and prepared to leave the stage. He still hoped that while he was packing up, someone would stand up and give him a surprise.

“Did you see that expression?”

Karlbach pointed at Agostini on the stage and said to Zhang Shuo, "He was disappointed because no one asked questions."

"Boorman likes this segment the most, and he always takes the opportunity to mock the IQ level of the questioner."

Zhang Shuo smiled after hearing this, knowing that Kalvahe wanted him to relax before going on stage.

He stood up without hesitation.

Kalvahe gave him a thumbs up and said, "Come on, Zhang Shuo, you can do it."

Agostini, who was walking off the stage, patted Zhang Shuo on the shoulder and said, "Come on, it all depends on you!"

"Do not worry."

When Zhang Shuo walked to the stage, many people who knew him were worried about him because he was explaining the most core part.

At the same time, he will definitely be targeted.

Many people did plan this, including Francisco, Graywood, Tan Zhiming, their team members, and all the scholars on site who were related to the CP destruction experimental research.

Zhang Shuo, young, talks about core algorithms.

He is the breakthrough point!

If there is a problem with the algorithm itself, it must be a problem with the core algorithm. Many people have even thought about the questions in advance.

Zhang Shuo walked up to the podium.

With a polite smile on his face, he spoke in a relaxed tone, "Does everyone have any questions about what Mr. Kalvacher and Mr. Agostini explained?"

"If you have any questions, speak up now."

Many people were stunned after hearing this.

I have a question. Didn't I ask it just now? Now I am on stage to talk about it. Many people thought about it carefully and understood it immediately.

really!

Zhang Shuo followed up by saying, "If there are no problems, I will not answer questions about algorithm logic and framework in the future."

This is to prevent deliberate trouble-making.

If you ask a question by combining the previous and the following, the question itself will be very complicated, and the answer will also be very complicated.

Zhang Shuo asked several more questions, and only started his explanation after making sure that no one had any questions.

"Our core algorithm, the signal evaluation system, assigns a value to each signal group and determines the probability of a strong or weak signal..."

"Next, let me explain the calculation logic..."

The framework diagram of the signal evaluation system was displayed on the projection screen, and the content explained was the evaluation judgment logic and core calculation methods.

Zhang Shuo sorted out the judgment logic of the framework diagram, and then gave a detailed explanation of each framework module.

During this process, he tried his best to explain clearly and explained every difficult part.

Because the judgment logic is very complicated and the calculation process of the framework module is also very complicated, most people cannot understand it even if it is explained clearly.

This is due to academic reasons and differences in understanding ability.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

The reports are delivered to the specially invited experts and reviewers in the front row. It is enough as long as someone among the reviewers can understand them.

The level of the front-row judges is quite high, and several of them are top theoretical physicists.

They can all be said to be geniuses among geniuses.

The complexity of the judgment logic that Zhang Shuo talked about is only slightly higher than the deviation evaluation system in the "center connection algorithm", and has not yet reached the level that geniuses cannot understand.

When the calculation content of the framework is involved, the algorithm becomes many times more complicated and somewhat obscure.

However, Zhang Shuo's explanation was very detailed. He also paid attention to the expressions of the scholars in the front row. If he encountered something difficult to understand, he would repeat it again.

This is the core content.

Zhang Shuo spoke for 40 minutes straight, paused to let everyone rest for ten minutes, and then continued his lecture.

The second lecture took an hour.

He did not stop but completed it in one breath. After completing this part, he had completed the main core content.

Next comes the final calculation output demonstration.

The calculation output argument is a matter of logical improvement behind the core algorithm, that is, to prove that "without the influence of special factors, the output is a straight line" and "with special influences, the output will show jump fluctuations."

The logic of this part is not complicated, but it is very difficult to prove that the logic is perfect.

When talking about the core content, he has already made a basic introduction, and the subsequent explanation is relatively simple, but it is a long process to prove the perfect logic.

Many scholars who understand the content also know that they can easily find problems with this part of the argument.

It's like a hygiene check.

After cleaning the entire school, how do you ensure that every place is clean?
The questioner can point to a room at random and ask if the room has been cleaned?

Unless you take everyone to see every room and every corner of the school, there will always be someone who can ask questions.

This is the most troublesome part.

The host of the meeting announced a 20-minute break. Zhang Shuo walked down from the podium, and Kalvahe immediately gave up his seat. "Sit down and take a break. The next part will be the most difficult."

"But don't worry, if there are too many questions, we will answer them separately, and they can't keep asking questions."

“If it doesn’t stump us, the conference will accept the paper.”

“Although we cannot completely prove that the algorithm is correct, more and more people will believe in it after the meeting. We can make the code public and let them find problems…”

Zhang Shuo nodded slightly, thinking in his mind.

They all believe that there is nothing wrong with the algorithm, but being questioned and questioned all the time will make them passive. If they want to prove the correctness of the algorithm in a short time, perhaps they can use...

Mathematical means?!
His eyes lit up as he thought about it, and he immediately thought of something - the jumping equation!
The jump equation is a very special set of partial differential equations.

This set of equations is derived based on the Liplos-Pamir equations and is specifically used to calculate the "deviation value" of fixed parameter experiments. In particle collision experiments with a constant electromagnetic energy ratio without external interference, the deviation value is always fixed.

The input to the system of equations is a three-dimensional straight line.

If there is external force interference at a certain position in the experiment, the deviation value will change suddenly.

This is the jump equation.

He immediately opened the system and created a task——

【Task 2】

[Research project name: Establishing jump equations covering algorithm output data (Difficulty assessment: D).]

【Progress: 1.470%.】

(The task can be canceled. Currently, the number of scientific research coins required to cancel the task is 0.)
(The remaining progress requires 9 scientific research coins.)
After establishing the task, Zhang Shuo did not directly use coins to buy progress, because the jump equation was very simple, consisting of a partial differential equation and two equations for adjusting parameters.

He walked aside and asked the staff to help bring a whiteboard. Then he picked up a pen and started doing calculations on the whiteboard.

During the calculation process, the task progress is also constantly increasing——

[Task 0.553, progress +%. ]

[Task 1.213, progress +%. ]

[Task 0.4, progress +...]

Everyone in the meeting room noticed what was happening on the stage. Looking at the content on the whiteboard, they couldn't help but discuss it with confusion, "What is he doing?"

"It seems like he is calculating something?"

"Several parameters were written, all of which were the output of the algorithm. Did he realize that there was something wrong with the algorithm?"

"That should be the case. Otherwise, what calculations are we doing now?"

Kalvah and Agostini were also a little worried. They didn't know what Zhang Shuo was calculating, but he was still doing the calculations when he arrived at the report. Maybe he realized the problem?

Francisco, Graywood, and even Tan Zhiming became excited.

Francisco couldn't help but said excitedly, "If he realizes the problem himself, we won't embarrass him anymore."

“No one’s research can be 100% correct!”

"This is also normal."

"He's so young, and he can find his own mistakes, which is great..."

Tan Zhiming also nodded, "Zhang Shuo is a very outstanding young man. His current experience of failure may be helpful to his future growth."

On the podium.

Zhang Shuo had completed the calculations. He erased all the calculation processes and wrote the final set of equations on the whiteboard.

He turned around and asked the host of the meeting, then walked to the podium and said, "Hello everyone!"

"The next step is to output the logical argument. This part is complicated, so I worked out a system of equations."

"Please see..."

"The top equation describes the result of the calculation, while the two equations below cover all the possibilities of the output."

"If there are no extremely special values, this system of equations will output a three-dimensional straight line..."

The venue was quiet.

Everyone stared at the system of equations on the whiteboard.

Many people were a little confused. They were eager to ask questions about the calculation logic of the algorithm output, but the other party ended up writing a system of equations?

This doesn't go according to common sense!
