215 When everyone does not play cards according to the routine

From the perspective of confidentiality, the less information you leave on the Internet, the easier it is to hide your identity.

March is undoubtedly extremely successful. Apart from helping March apply for an email and a WeChat account, Ning Wei has never left any information on other social platforms. Especially WeChat only added Ning Wei and Jiang Chenshuang. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find the mysterious Professor March from social software.

After the relationship between the two was sorted out, the next step was to explain the problem that there was no such person in Jiangda. There must be a reasonable explanation, of course, not for Jiangda, but for the editors of the journals opposite.

Because just at 1:00 a.m., March received an inquiry letter from the Journal of the American Mathematical Society in his mailbox. In fact, it was forwarded by Jiang Da's inquiry letter, and then asked if March had made the research unit wrong...

This is something Ning Wei didn't expect before. Just forget it if you can't find someone, why can you still go and ask?

You have to reply to the email, otherwise you will definitely not be able to figure it out with the IQ of those editors. How could you find out that person?

Ning Wei hadn't figured out how to reply to this email yet, and March had already made a statement himself.

"Dear Editor-in-Chief Connorson: Hello, I have received the letter. The unit has not written it incorrectly, but reputation is not the most important thing for me now. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, and to be able to travel across the ocean to drink coffee with you as soon as possible, I chose to use a pseudonym, please forgive me! Jiang Da: March!"

Ning Wei read this sentence and felt that March had indeed grown into a genius. The reason for taking advantage of the topic was very good, and he also gave everyone on the other side enough room for imagination. So he helped March press the send button.

Things were indeed as Ning Wei had imagined. Seeing March’s reply, the editorial room soon replied to Jiang Da a official letter.

"After verified, the paper unit was not wrong, but because the paper author hoped to devote himself to research and did not want his identity to be exposed, in order to respect the author's personal ideas, it is not convenient for us to announce the real identity of the paper author."

Principal Yan, who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, immediately learned the reply from his secretary, and then he was stunned again.

The unit was not wrong, that is, it was indeed the paper published by Professor Jiang University, but the reason behind him could not move him. He wanted to devote himself to research, so there was a professor in the school who used pseudonyms to post papers, just because the school could not find him?

This kind of boss who is invincible actually appears in his own school, and Principal Yan doesn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

Now I couldn't sleep at all, so I simply sent the reply directly to the deans of major colleges of the school. Of course, the focus was on the Mathematics College, and then called Kong Mingde. I thought that the dean of the Mathematics College should not have been asleep at this time, so he wouldn't be able to sleep today.

The facts proved that Principal Yan was not wrong, because he answered the phone as soon as he dialed.

"The magazine responded, I forwarded it to you just now. Have you read it?"

"I just received it and haven't opened it yet. Let's take a look... Well, I am indeed from our Jiangda? But I don't want to expose my identities?"

"Yes. But this seems to be understandable. You have a weird personality in mathematics. The Russian mathematician Perelman, who proved Poincaré's conjecture, won the award and was unwilling to receive the award. Maybe any professor really thinks that this achievement is not worth mentioning..." President Yan said, feeling that he had no words.

"Then... won't check it?" Kong Mingde asked hesitantly.

"It's not a bad thing. The professor is unwilling to stand up and claim honors. It's not good to investigate it hard. It's better to respect the professors' ideas. In this way, after the holiday, you can also say that this matter can be commended anonymously. If no one has come forward, it's fine. If people feel unhappy in this way, they will jump away directly, and it will be more than worth the loss." Principal Yan thought for a while and said.

"Well, that's all. At least it proves that it is indeed a paper published by professors in our school. It's quite good, it's a blessing for the school. Alas, wait, old Confucius, I remember you have also studied artificial intelligence before. You should be calling for catching a thief, right?" Principal Yan suddenly said suspiciously.

The opposite of the phone was obviously stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "I? Lao Yan, you look up to my sentiment. Even if I don't think about myself, I can promote my students by the way, right? If you said this, if I hadn't known that this person was in school in March, I would have wanted to take this honor."

Principal Yan laughed and said, "Haha, I'll just make a joke. Okay, let's deal with this matter first."

"We won't promote it anymore?" Kong Mingde asked tentatively.

"What is this promotion? Don't the outside world say that Jiangda is the most low-key school in China? Then keep the low-key to the end. If you don't promote it, don't respond, just like that!" Principal Yan finally decided.

"No publicity at all?"

"Well! That's it. This professor doesn't even want a personal reputation. What's the point of making a fuss about us? I decided!"

"Oh well!"

After defining a strategy of not promoting it, the senior management was actually relieved. As for everyone's various speculations, they were not able to control it. As Principal Yan said, this is a good thing after all.

However, when everyone fell asleep, many American units, thousands of miles away, began to operate in reverse.

For example, many professors from well-known universities mentioned this paper in March in class. If this is just fermenting in the academic circle, then the bigwigs of technology companies choose to mention this paper in March on various occasions, which successfully made this paper in March popular.

Especially at the Cloud next conference held by Google on October 5, the speech of the chief scientist of Google X Labs at the conference became the strongest help of this paper in March.

"...Everyone knows that Google has been committed to the research of artificial intelligence platforms. Our artificial intelligence platforms have been committed to providing services to everyone. We provide a wide range of artificial intelligence tools, from development tools and services for advanced data scientists to services for automatic learning models."

"And now we have noticed a paper published by Chinese mathematician Professor March in the Journal of the American Mathematical Society. This paper provides theoretical guidance for us to build a brand new machine consciousness in mathematical theory. Our scientists have seen the possibilities of artificial intelligence in the future from this paper. They have even begun laboratory verification."

"We believe that the theoretical basis built on this paper will allow us to build a completely new AI platform that will likely provide more advanced developers with an end-to-end solution that allows them to go from receiving data to training and testing their models to putting them into production. It can even be used to pre-built models!"

"God, I dare say that this paper is the most magical idea in mathematics in ten years, but what makes us feel even more excited is that this paper gives us a new understanding of the field of artificial intelligence! I don't know how to describe my mood after reading this paper, but one thing I'm sure is that this paper will lead the world's artificial intelligence to a new level!"

How to say it, after Alfago emerged from the world's top Go masters, it established at least in the hearts of ordinary people that Google is leading the world in the research direction of artificial intelligence.

Immediately afterwards, Google's voice assistant Assistant performed a clip of Google's voice assistant who called himself to help the owner make an appointment to go to Teacher Tony for a haircut. The receptionist at the barber shop did not hear that the other side was actually artificial intelligence leading the appointment. At that time, it even more amazed the whole world and triggered a big discussion on artificial intelligence around the world.

Now the chief scientist of Google X Laboratory actually praised a mathematical paper written by Professor Huaxia in this field, and the response it caused can be imagined. Especially at the end of this passage, the words of this chief scientist, Astro Taylor, who had met Ning Wei, made countless people covet it.

"I have suggested to the company's senior management that if the March professor is willing to work at Google, I am willing to give him my position and let him directly be responsible for the construction of the new generation of Google's artificial intelligence platform. I believe he deserves this gift."

Such high praise has made this paper in March so successful. Many well-known mathematicians have received interview requests from journalists, inviting them to comment on the mysterious Professor March and her paper.

"Well, Professor March may not know much about it, but in fact she is already very famous in the mathematics community. As far as I know, several mathematical journals plan to issue her the best reviewer this year. You may not be familiar with the concept of paper reviewer. How to say, her basic skills in mathematics are extremely solid and she has extremely advanced attainments in many fields of mathematics. This is a common evaluation of her in the mathematics community."

"As for her paper, I have indeed read it, but because I am not studying this direction, I honestly don't understand the proof process of some lemma. However, I have consulted several friends, and they all have high praise for this paper. Using pure mathematics rather than other technical means to build a machine consciousness system is an extremely complex and extremely difficult project."

"Everyone should know that it is very difficult to have a machine that can only recognize 0 and 1, which is very difficult to have complex human emotions, especially mathematics alone. So it does not mean that with theory, you can immediately create programs or machines with human emotions. This is still a long process, but there is no doubt that the publication of this paper has given scientists who are now specializing in artificial intelligence to guide the theory. Yes, mathematics has always needed to solve specific problems. It can only point out a correct direction, and this is the charm of mathematics."

"Anyway, no matter what, based on this paper alone, I think the name of this March professor will definitely be among the most well-known mathematicians in the world. The only regret is that I heard that this March professor is just a pseudonym. Well, many mathematicians have this or that kind of quirks, the more successful mathematicians are, the more they are, but how to say, I hope to have a drink with her, that must be a wonderful thing."

Of course, there are also different arguments during interviews.

"March Professor! Well, I admit she may be very good, but in fact I don't think it's a good idea to invite her to lead a department. If you ask more people, you will know that many people suspect that there is something wrong with her personality, and it's extremely extreme to look at the problem, and it's difficult to live with people, let alone lead the team."

"Why? Well, you should interview editors of professional math journals, and they have a better say. Let's put it this way, her opinions on the review of peers' research results are always extremely harsh, and they are not even accurate in describing them as harsh, or even vicious. Don't be surprised if you see an attack on personal dignity in her comments."

"Yes, maybe she is a very capable genius scientist, but I don't think I can be friends with her. We can't even sit together to discuss math problems, because that might turn into an argument. I suspect that she does not have the ability to communicate with people normally, which is probably why she chose to use a pseudonym instead of her real name! To be honest, I don't like her! Even if she is talented, I don't want to be a colleague with her!"

Of course, Connorson, the editor-in-chief of the March paper published journal, will naturally not be let go by reporters.

"Actually, everyone is right. Professor March is indeed a very personality professor, and her academic ability is as distinctive as her personality. But you know, I am just an editor-in-chief of journals. My daily task is to pick out the best papers from countless papers and publish them in journals. As for the personality and character of a mathematician, it is not my consideration."

"Of course I would like to say a few words here. Although her opinions are often a bit sharp as a reviewer, the email communication between us is quite pleasant. She is not as unreasonable as some professors describe it. I can only say so much. At least as an editor-in-chief of a math journal, I admire her very much. Thank you, I can only say so much."

...

Really, never underestimate the ability to start when the promotional tool is fully launched.

In just one day, almost all technology enthusiasts around the world knew that there was a female mathematician in China. She published a paper under a pseudonym, which was sought after by professors from famous foreign universities and major foreign technology companies.

Although the evaluations given by different people are still somewhat different, no one questioned Professor March's level.
