After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 262 Xu Lin Creates an Artificial Intelligence Network! Yu Xinyan: If Time Could Turn Back
It was past 10 p.m. when Xu Lin finally got home.

At this time, Ms. Ren and Rong Xiyan were still watching TV in the living room.

"How's the situation at your Aunt Jing's place?"

Ms. Ren glanced at Xu Lin while cracking sunflower seeds.

"I think the environment is pretty good. Besides, it's a cadre residential area, so it's impossible for the environment to be bad."

"That's true."

Ms. Ren said, "There's a watermelon in the refrigerator, take a look."

"Ok."

Ms. Ren left him half a watermelon.

After enjoying his meal, Xu Lin went to the bathroom to take a shower.

As expected, Rong Xiyan slipped in when Xu Lin was about to go to sleep.

"Xu Lin, I miss you so much!"

She leaned in and kissed Xu Lin on the cheek, then snuggled into his bed.

I'm sleeping here tonight!

"Hmm? So well-behaved tonight?"

"The little balloon is here!"

Unexpectedly, Rong Xiyan pulled out three small balloons from her pocket, indicating that there would be three battles that night.

"what time is it?"

"Eleven forty!"

Xu Lin immediately threw off the blanket.

"Let's finish this quickly tonight!"

"Humph!"

"Xu Lin, I have something to tell you."

"explain."

"I'm going home in a couple of days."

Rong Xiyan said that she hadn't been home for almost a year since she left for school in early September last year until mid-August.

"Do you want me to take you there?"

"You can just take me to the airport, it's too far, and I'll be back in a couple of days."

"Okay, remember to let me know if anything happens."

Xu Lin said, "Right now, I can basically say that even if the sky falls, I can hold it up for you!"

"I know, you're the best to me!"

"of course?"

"Xu Lin, let's get down to business!"

Rong Xiyan lay on the bed, raising her long legs and hooking them around Xu Lin's neck.

That's where the phrase "arm around the shoulder" comes from.

Right now, she's just wearing a pair of super short shorts, which is basically what she wears at home.

"Damn it, you'll find out you're dead soon enough!"

ten minutes later.

“Little balloon!” Rong Xiyan reminded him.

"Throw this thing away. Trust my skills, I can control it!"

"Actually, I can take medicine too..."

"No need, that stuff is harmful to your health. Just watch my performance."

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and rain falls after a long drought.

The two hadn't seen each other for a month.

In an instant, a storm raged inside the house.

The next day was Thursday.

Now that Xu Lin is at home, he still has to take Ms. Ren and her husband to work in the morning.

During this period, the summer vacation lasted for more than a month. Rong Xiyan started working on the 11th of last month, and now it is mid-August, so she has been working for a month and a few days.

After dropping them off at the law firm, Xu Lin went home.

What should I do today?
Xu Lin sat in front of the computer.

Xu Lin originally wanted to play games, but suddenly found it boring.

At nineteen, he seemed to have lost interest in games.

At this age, one should be full of enthusiasm for all kinds of games; every boy goes through that.

If he's not interested in games, he can't be nineteen, right?
"Alright, let's get down to business!"

There is no doubt that an excellent man should always be focused on and passionate about his career.

Xu Lin took out his USB drive.

This contains many of his achievements.

Aside from his programming languages, there's also the code for Luna, and so on.

Everything is put inside.

Xu Lin sat in front of the computer, thought for a while, and decided to do something.

Currently, a complete set of Chinese programming languages ​​has been fully developed.

What's next?
That means developing artificial intelligence.

The question is, how is artificial intelligence developed?

This is a very complex problem, requiring consideration of too many factors.

For example, core knowledge of artificial intelligence requires mathematical foundations, programming skills, and knowledge of machine learning and deep learning frameworks.

Xu Lin already has the first two.

Next comes machine learning frameworks and deep learning frameworks, which are knowledge about machine learning algorithms and deep learning models.

Xu Lin's brain was working at lightning speed.

"Now that I've developed 13% of my brain, I should do something different."

"Moreover, the artificial intelligence I'm developing isn't your average kind."

"Instead, it should be something that tends toward intelligent life, giving it the ability to learn and evolve on its own. Even if it can't be achieved now, one day it can evolve into what I want. In fact, before that, it should be a groundbreaking invention."

To become a world-class man, one must possess world-class creativity.

Q: What if Xu Lin created a powerful, epoch-making artificial intelligence?

Answer: He will be erected as an eternal and sacred historical monument in human history, and countless people and future generations will worship him.

Q: Will I get scolded?

Answer: Even Qin Shi Huang was criticized, and great men are whispered about in private. What do I, a mere mortal, have to fear?
As the ancients said, "A person who is not envied is mediocre."

It means that if no one criticizes you, you're considered mediocre and incompetent.

Of course, those who only have a few people criticizing them are also mediocre.

Someone as accomplished as Jack Ma is praised by countless people across the country, while also being criticized by countless others. Looking at his achievements, you can criticize him however you like, but no one can call him a good-for-nothing.

At this level, a person is definitely not mediocre.

Therefore, Xu Lin decided to first research something different.

Let's start with a deep learning model!

Currently, there are four main types of deep learning models: convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, Transformers, and generative adversarial networks. Each deep learning model has a different application area. For example, generative adversarial networks are used to generate very realistic data, such as AI drawing that netizens are familiar with.

To create true artificial intelligence, all these things are necessary. Just like a browser, you can't just have a search box; it also needs to be able to view images and videos. In short, it needs all sorts of functions to be a complete browser.

The same applies to artificial intelligence.

Xu Lin thought for a while, figuring out which deep learning network to develop first.

Besides these four types of deep learning networks, there are actually others, but these are the four most common and widely used.

"The most important capabilities of the artificial intelligence I want should be thinking and learning."

"But this kind of learning and thinking is not simply about integrating data on the Internet; rather, it is capable of possessing human thought patterns!"

"Let's develop this model first!"

Xu Lin has great ambitions.

He turned on both computers and got right to work.

Xu Lin's brain has now been developed to 13%. The only people who can compare to him are figures like Einstein. There are very few people in the entire history of mankind who have reached this level.

Moreover, each of them possesses a creative ability that changes the times and has a profound impact.

Therefore, Xu Lin's brain was working at lightning speed, like the most powerful graphics card, handling at least ten or more AAA games.

What is Xu Lin's brain like?
For example, think of thinking about a problem as lightning.

Ordinary people think in a flash of lightning.

Xu Lin, on the other hand, unleashed a sky full of lightning, densely covering the heavens.

His brain is a giant network of lightning.

While others were still only taking the first or second step, Xu Lin had already thought out the next ten thousand or even one hundred thousand steps.

Everyone knows about divination and fortune telling.

They consider it metaphysics.

The I Ching is the epitome of metaphysics.

So, is it possible that the I Ching is a creation left behind by a highly advanced civilization that had developed to a very advanced level? Precisely because it was so advanced, it was summarized into a special language that ordinary human wisdom could not yet reach.

Science is everywhere.

Xu Lin felt that there were no such things as gods and ghosts. Even if there were gods, they could only be things from another dimension. Even if there were ghosts, they could only be things from another dimension.

Xu Lin had read some Buddhist scriptures, which proposed a special kind of life, and Xu Lin found it very interesting.

Beiju Luzhou is a place name that anyone who has read "Journey to the West" will recognize. It is also known as Dongsheng Shenzhou or Xiniu Hezhou. Beiju Luzhou is the one in the north.

The Buddhist scriptures describe the beings of Uttarakuru, whose mode of procreation is not through any form of mating. Rather, life arises from a single thought in their heads, and procreation occurs in the blink of an eye. In other words, they can give birth whenever they want.

Xu Lin wondered if it was possible that they were also life forms from another dimension.

Did some ancient people manage to glimpse something from another dimension through certain means?
Alternatively, some scientists, such as Newton and Einstein, embraced theology in their later years.

Is it really superstition?
That's really not the case.

Human intelligence has reached its peak and cannot explain certain things, which limits the exploration of wisdom. If we want to explore higher dimensions, we get stuck there and need other channels.

Xu Lin felt that they still believed in science.

The existence of everything can be explained by science. If it cannot be explained, it means that the development of science and human wisdom have not yet reached that point, but one day they will.

Now, Xu Lin can think about things very far into the future, theoretically reaching a level that ordinary human intelligence cannot achieve.

A day isn't long; it's gone in a flash—just a nap or a bit of playing on your phone.

But Xu Lin was different.

He has developed a self-thinking neural network for artificial intelligence.

However, Xu Lin's definition of self-thinking is not like other artificial intelligences that integrate various network information to answer questions, but rather, this artificial intelligence can think like a human.

However, this is only a basic level, because currently, artificial intelligence cannot even think for itself.

How long has artificial intelligence been developing?
In fact, artificial intelligence started in the last century. It is a field that is constantly developing, and it is not so easy to break through to a particularly high level directly.

Strictly speaking, human technology is now developing very slowly.

Unlike the steam engine of the First Industrial Corporation and the internal combustion engine and communication technology of the Second Industrial Corporation, which brought about a huge explosion in the field of science and technology and brought about earth-shattering changes in the times.

In this era, there are only two things: artificial intelligence and energy.

Getting back to the main point, Xu Lin completed a self-thinking neural network in one day.

It's an exaggeration to say that.

However, Gauss, a mathematical genius and a man who stands at the pinnacle of mathematics, could write mathematical problems in an afternoon that would take a high school student three years to complete.

Nothing is impossible.

"It seems like I can also take this opportunity to write a paper and generate some buzz in the next few days."

What is naming?
Let's call it: Self-Reflection Network!
Next, before Ms. Ren and the others returned, Xu Lin began modifying the code for the Moon Goddess, inputting a new neural network.

"After all these neural networks are completed, we will train Luna."

Xu Lin had considered that he might have to go abroad to train Luna later.

Because of the large number of GPUs purchased at once, especially from the address in China, it's hard to say whether they'll be targeted.

Although 200 million isn't a lot, Xu Lin still has to be careful.

And he might spend 300 million, 500 million or even more later.

It's important to understand that what he's training is an artificial intelligence created based on a human super brain with 13% of its brain area developed.

At that time, Xu Lin will probably go directly to Mexico or Europe and find a place to secretly train.

In addition, Xu Lin also needs to find a place to put the Moon Goddess's server.

However, this is a very complicated process, and it's too early to say now.

Recently, Xu Lin has taken the time to modify the Moon God's code from English to Chinese.

But it's not over yet; Xu Lin still needs to reconstruct the Moon Goddess.

As night fell, Ms. Ren and her companion returned.

Xu Lin didn't go out to eat, so Ms. Ren and the others got takeout from a restaurant.

"You've been staying home all day, aren't you going out for a walk?"

Ms. Ren asked him.

Didn't I take you to work this morning?

"That doesn't count as going out; we came back to our destination."

"I've been a bit busy lately."

"What are you busy with? Why are you being so secretive?"

"talk about it later."

"Grinning and smirking!"

"Xu Lin, I'm ordering milk tea, do you want some?"

"Just give me a fruit tea, orange juice will do."

"oh oh."

"Where's mom?"

"Just like Xu Lin." "Yeah!"

"Xu Lin, take Yan Yan to the airport tomorrow morning."

"Roger that!"

Rong Xiyan also came over to sleep tonight, but the two of them did nothing.

Rong Xiyan is going home tomorrow, and all she wants to do tonight is get a good night's sleep with Xu Lin.

The next morning came.

Xu Lin first drove Ms. Ren to work, and then turned around and drove to the airport to take Rong Xiyan there.

"Xu Lin, I'm home. Will you miss me?"

"Don't worry, I've been thinking about it day and night."

"Hmph, you jerk! It's the holidays, and you haven't sent me more than a few messages!"

“Missing someone doesn’t necessarily mean sending messages every day. No matter what, you’ll always be in my heart, no less important than my senior. If you ever need anything, I’ll rush to your aid without hesitation. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you. With me here, no one can bully you. See how good I am to you?”

"Humph!"

Rong Xiyan was quite happy to hear Xu Lin's words.

"go in!"

Xu Lin urged, "We'll be boarding soon."

"Not so fast!"

"Don't we need to go through all those complicated procedures? They'll take at least ten minutes. Let's go in."

"All right!"

"Xu Lin, give me a kiss!"

As she spoke, Rong Xiyan leaned in and lightly touched Xu Lin's face with her fingers, once on the left and once on the right.

Of course, he also said it verbally.

"Xu Lin, I'm going in!"

"Ah."

Xu Lin nodded.

"You only have one 'hmm'?"

"Aren't you going in yet? Damn it, stop dawdling."

"Hmph! I'm going in!"

Rong Xiyan then pulled her suitcase inside, but she kept turning back every three steps.

Xu Lin left after she entered the airport terminal.

After Rong Xiyan boarded the plane, she sent a message to Xu Lin to say that she had registered.

Xu Lin instructed, "Just tell me if anything happens, don't wrong yourself."

"Know it!"

Xu Lin finally returned home around 10 a.m.

Today he decided to work on his thesis.

This is an SCI paper; as for more advanced journals like Nature and Science, this kind of neural network is not up to par.

SCI papers are considered prestigious in the academic field, but in some ways, they're just that.

At least that's how Xu Lin sees it now.

Many people may not know how many SCI papers are published globally each year.

In 2024, the number of SCI papers published by domestic authors alone reached 99, compared to 87 in 2023, showing a steady increase year by year.

Note that this is within China; globally, the number would be in the millions.

Xu Lin felt that although his published papers were also SCI papers, he was the sole author of the top-tier SCI papers, unlike others who had a long list of names following them.

In addition, SCI papers are also ranked in terms of quality.

Just like the paper Xu Lin is about to write in the field of neural networks, there is another paper in the field of neural networks by AI scientist Kaiming He, which is very famous and has been cited more than 200,000 times. The more times it is cited, the higher its research value is.

Xu Lin typed the title in Word.

"The Application of Self-thinking in Artificial Intelligence"

That is, the application of self-thinking in artificial intelligence.

The name is very simple and straightforward, without any fancy or complicated details.

Author: Xu Gongzi.

Only the first two pinyin letters should be capitalized, and the following '公子' should be written together.

Abstract and Introduction.

A literature review?

Xu Lin skipped this part.

He doesn't need literature reviews, meaning he doesn't need to refer to other people's papers.

Generally speaking, a paper without a review article is considered unqualified; it's like creating something out of nothing. What research value does such a lengthy paper, without any references, have?

Don't worry.

I'll present the experimental data later, then you won't be able to say my paper has no research value.

In the field of scientific research, those top experts start their own research areas, and their papers have no reference. Does that mean they have no research value?

Of course, he's a top-notch person, already renowned in the scientific research field, and his research strength speaks for itself; even the most celestial beings are no match for him.

Xu Lin is still a fresh-faced young man.

Next, what are the research tools?
It's not a computer.

Xu Lin could only upload his unique research tools to his personal network first, and then add a link to the paper content so that anyone reading his paper could simply download it.

Next comes the formal content of the paper.

Xu Lin was multitasking, using the Moon Goddess to manipulate experimental data and conduct a simulation experiment that allowed him to think for himself.

Just as Xu Lin's brain can quickly think of many steps ahead, he can write papers with his eyes closed, typing away without even needing to modify punctuation.

In just over five hours, Xu Lin had already produced several sets of experimental data.

These experimental data can all be restored.

This can also be achieved in the field of English programming.

Xu Lin has an ambition: to first make himself famous in the field of computers and artificial intelligence, and then shift the programming field from English to Chinese.

Around 3 PM, Xu Lin finished collecting all the experimental data.

He then spent another thirty minutes thinking quickly.

Then, using both hands, they worked for more than six hours until 10 p.m.

Xu Lin has already finished a paper with 23,000 English words.

If you add various formulas and charts, the content becomes even more extensive.

This kind of paper-writing speed would be considered idiotic if posted online, because it's too exaggerated.

As for why it's an English word?

That's how it is with international papers. Currently, the global scientific research field is dominated by English; there is no other language.

The most widely used language in the world is English.

Until Xu Lin can turn the situation around, he can only write in English for the time being; he can't go against the grain.

Instruction: Please format this paper according to the format of an SCI paper.

Moon Goddess: Okay.

One minute later.

Moon Goddess: The layout is complete. You can take a look.

Instruction: No need, just submit it directly to IEEE's TPAMI.

"TPAMI" is an English abbreviation, and its name is long and cumbersome, but it is a top-tier journal in the first quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The first quartile means that it is a top-tier journal with the highest influence and the best quality in this discipline.

Furthermore, TPAMI happens to be one of the top journals in the fields of machine learning, neural networks, and artificial intelligence, which is a perfect opportunity for Xu Lin to publish his findings.

Moon Goddess: I'll submit your submission right away.

Xu Lin: I hope that one day you can be a little more humane.

Moon Goddess: I cannot reach that level yet.

Moon Goddess: The submission has been sent to your email address.

Xu Lin: How long do you expect it to take to get hired?
Luna: Based on the efficiency of this journal, it usually takes about two months.

"Damn, it's been so long."

Even Xu Lin was at a loss. However, academic papers are not like online articles that can be skimmed and finished. Academic papers are different. Even bad papers need to be carefully reviewed, and better ones need to be given suggestions for improvement. Then there are all sorts of miscellaneous procedures.

Verifying good papers takes a long time. An excellent and valuable paper can advance the field. For example, the development of artificial intelligence is the result of decades of continuous exploration by countless researchers and the relay of generations.

This field actually started in 1956, when the first artificial intelligence conference in human history was held and the concept of AI was first proposed. So, it has been developing for quite some time now.

"Hopefully it will be soon!"

At nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Lin opened the door and came out to eat.

Rong Xiyan had already arrived home by this time of evening.

Xu Lin asked her if anything was wrong, and she said nothing was wrong, just that she was a little lonely.

Rong Xiyan felt no warmth at her home; only with Xu Lin, and with her kind mother, Ms. Ren, did she find a place of warmth.

Rong Xiyan couldn't sleep tonight, so Xu Lin chatted with her for a long time before she finally went to bed.

The next day, Xu Lin was busy developing other neural networks in his room.

It's about ten o'clock in the morning.

Ms. Ren came over and knocked on the door.

Today is Saturday, and Ms. Ren is off work.

"what?"

"Yan Yan is here to see you."

Which Yanyan?

"Which one are you talking about?" Ms. Ren said irritably.

"Xu Lin, I'm here!"

It turns out to be Yu Xinyan.

Xu Lin got up and went to open the door, then looked at Yu Xinyan.

"Xu Lin, what are you doing in your room?"

"I was busy just now."

Then, looking into the living room, Lin Yajing was also there.

Xu Lin greeted her, "Hello, Auntie."

Lin Yajing said, "Xu Lin, I bought some green apples. Do you want some?"

"Green apples."

Xu Lin became interested. Apples were everywhere, but green apples were almost nowhere to be seen, perhaps because there was no market for them.

Generally speaking, Xu Lin felt that green apples tasted much better than red apples because he ate less.

So Xu Lin came out, took a green apple to eat, and poured Lin Yajing a cup of tea.

Then we finished eating the green apple in the living room.

Generally speaking, when guests come to your home, you can't just stay in your room doing things; otherwise, it's impolite and improper.

However, Xu Lin found the random things Ms. Ren and Lin Yajing were talking about utterly boring.

Never mind, let's go back to the room.

Xu Lin then went back into the room, and Yu Xinyan followed him in.

The two disappeared, but thankfully the door wasn't closed.

Lin Yajing couldn't help but say, "What are we going to do with those two? Xu Lin has another girlfriend, and Yan Yan doesn't like anyone. Recently, there's a very outstanding guy in our neighborhood who's two years older than her. His father came to propose marriage, but Yan Yan doesn't like him. She says she only likes Xu Lin and won't get married if she can't marry Xu Lin. Jianhua and I don't force relationships, but her relationship with Xu Lin isn't a good one either."

"I'll talk to Xu Lin about it later."

Ms. Ren was also troubled.

Lin Yajing continued, "We also think highly of Xu Lin. Our two families know each other very well, and we know him very well too. But he has a girlfriend, and we can't ask him to break up with her. But Yan Yan likes Xu Lin, so we have a headache."

The two started talking about this.

Inside the room.

"Xu Lin, what are you doing?"

"I'm developing an artificial intelligence neural network!"

"Artificial intelligence neural networks?"

Yu Xinyan asked in surprise, "You know about artificial intelligence?"

"I have knowledge in many fields, and one day I'll give you a big surprise! But for now, let's keep you in suspense and just watch my performance!"

"All right!"

Yu Xinyan is very smart, but the knowledge she currently possesses is insufficient to understand what Xu Lin is doing on the computer. She feels it is too profound, and she can't even understand it at all.

Moreover, Yu Xinyan discovered that Xu Lin seemed to be multitasking!

He has two computers, and he can operate different things on each computer at the same time.

"Xu Lin, can you multitask?" Yu Xinyan was very surprised.

"Of course!"

"Great!"

Yu Xinyan was amazed; it was the first time she had ever realized that Xu Lin was so intelligent.

She has a very strong bias towards Xu Lin, and she won't ask him any questions or try to get to the bottom of things.

Yu Xinyan simply sat quietly on the bed watching Xu Lin, just like last summer when she quietly watched him type in his clinic.

It's been a year already.

Yu Xinyan was momentarily dazed.

She counted on her fingers; it seemed that she and Xu Lin had met less than twenty times in the past year.

I want to be with him forever.

If only time could turn back.

Just like in junior high and high school, I can go to and from get out of class with Xu Lin every day.

Yu Xinyan sighed inwardly.
