When Yu Xingwei was being browsed everywhere in the entire Chinese network, the news that Yanbei International Mathematics Center sent invitation letters to the entire mathematics and computer science community gradually began to spread. Not only in China, but also well-known foreign scholars who happened to stay in China to attend academic conferences recently received invitations. Tian Yanzhen even used his network of relationships to contact many foreign media stationed in Beijing to invite them to attend this feast.

The high-profile wording of the invitation letter may even feel a bit exaggerated for many journalists, which somewhat breaks their stereotype that Chinese people should be extremely modest. The translation roughly means to invite you media to attend this artificial intelligence exhibition that may change history. The main reason is that Yanbei International Mathematical Research Center comprehensively considers maintaining the friendly relations between China and other countries. The implication is that I have invited you, do you love to come or not.

Of course, whether the invitation is polite or not has never been a question that these media reporters need to consider, especially for many foreign media reporters, the bottom line and dignity can be adjusted at any time. Even this not-so-polite wording has made many people very interested in the artificial intelligence exhibition at Yanbei University this time. According to the information they obtained, the strongest university in the field of artificial intelligence in China is undoubtedly Huaqing University, and it can even be said to be a leader.

Although Yanbei University is not weak in the field of computer science, for example, its computer science major has always been a top discipline rated as A+, and has an additional bonus for the master's degree in artificial intelligence innovation, it is not well known in this field as Yao and Zhi classes of Huaqing University. Therefore, this high-profile announcement of the opening of an artificial intelligence exhibition is an extremely eye-catching action.

Of course, in addition to this, these reporters know better how to connect all the news, and then no matter how you look at it, you can feel a strange smell in this matter. A doctoral student in computer science who had previously been unknown in China suddenly won the International Mathematics Award, which caused an uproar in the entire Chinese academic community. However, the Wolf Award jury also gave a very high evaluation, which may be laying the foundation for future artificial intelligence.

On the same day, the School of Mathematics and Mathematics Research and Development Center of Yanbei University suddenly announced that it would hold an artificial intelligence exhibition, and was full of confidence and even believed that they had made history. The reporter circle is different from the academic circle. They have not had in-depth contact with Professor March, nor did they know how many emails Professor March sent to the entire Western academic circle during this period, communicated with many industry experts, and discussed how many academic issues. They did not know how much energy it takes to explore these academic issues. They just combined these two unsense things and then came to a conclusion that there must be big news.

Yes, in many cases, it is not that the more information you master, the closer it is to the essence of facts. Because the mix of true and false information often brings too many obstacles to finding the final truth, because there are always some irrelevant or false information that seem very real, or true but one-sided information, pointing the truth of the matter to another point.

But nothing can stop this media feast from the beginning. After all, in the open Internet era, such major events have always been the most popular tool for countless media outlets. The influence of the Wolf Award itself, coupled with the mystery of identity hanging on Yu Xingwei, and the story represented by the code name March, can be written into a suspenseful article, which even hits the excitement of countless self-media people.

According to statistics in March, in just two days, the two topics around Yu Xingwei's Wolf Mathematics Award and Yanbei Mathematics Research Center suddenly announced on its official website that it would hold an artificial intelligence exhibition. Twenty-three articles have earned more than 300,000 views, and some of them have even browsed over one million views, while the number of articles with a reading volume of more than 100,000 views has reached 72.

The effect shown was that Yu Xingwei became popular. Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center was included in the vision of many ordinary people. Many ordinary people who did not know about this research center began to actively search the past and present of Peking University Mathematics Research Center online. With the help of these free publicity, more people began to pay attention to the extremely high-profile and sudden exhibition.

It can be said that although there was not enough time to prepare and did not have time to invite influential international majors on the spot, the attention was not enough. Of course, as the largest and most dynamic market in the world, with Tian Yan's real influence, the international and domestic high-tech companies invited were also very complete.

It can almost be said that high-tech companies that pursue artificial intelligence have not been missed, and this also takes advantage of the convenience of holding press conferences in Beijing. After all, most AI companies in the world, even if their headquarters are not in Beijing, at least they have a branch here, and at least they have to have an office.

In addition to the three familiar BAT giants, Byte, Huawei, DJI, and iFLYTEK, some BTOB companies that are not familiar to ordinary consumers are also included in the list, such as Hikvision, Hanwang, Megvii, SenseTime, etc.

Some well-known foreign companies such as IBM, Apple, Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Tesla, etc. are naturally among the invitations. Although Google has withdrawn from the Chinese market for many years, the president of Greater China, who works in Hong Kong Island, is also invited.

In addition to these companies, professors from major domestic artificial intelligence laboratories, research centers and universities are also invited.

It has to be said that the efficiency shown by Yanbei International Mathematics Center this time is extremely high. Of course, in addition to the staff working overtime these two days, many mathematical colleges and professors have even been mobilized to do some auxiliary work, March is also powerful enough.

In fact, after Tian Yanzhen confirmed the time and location of the exhibition, he probably prepared a list, and then all the electronic invitations were handled by March under the witness of him and Ning Wei.

Of course, this also requires effort. For example, in order to improve efficiency, Tian Yanzhen had to temporarily authorize the large-scale school address book permission to read the school address book in March. So in less than an hour, more than 3,000 invitation letters were sent directly to the group. For different groups, the invitation letters were used differently, which also gave Tian Yanzhen more confidence.

The invitation letters sent were actually somewhat exceeding the standard, because the Yanbei University Centennial Lecture Hall held this exhibition only had more than 2,300 seats. However, it was estimated that because the exhibition was held too suddenly, it is estimated that one-third of the invited guests are unlikely to attend the exhibition.

In addition, it is the arrangement of the exhibition. Yanbei University Centennial Lecture Hall is a conference hall with advanced facilities and complete functions. It took two days to arrange it, and it didn’t seem very nervous. On the eve of the exhibition, it successfully passed the acceptance and everything was ready.

The effect is also very obvious. On the evening of January 7, hotels within and around Peking University were basically booked. According to March statistics, we have replied to the letter to confirm that about 2,138 guests and reporters were invited to visit. March has also replied to the number of my location at the next day based on the identity and characteristics of these groups.

Yes, the most tedious work of this exhibition is almost entirely undertaken by March 1. Of course, this did not delay it reviewing three math papers in the past two days and sending seven enthusiastic emails. Only two of these seven emails were doing academic discussions. The remaining five emails were basically answering questions, and the questions answered by foreign colleagues about this Yanbei University Artificial Intelligence Exhibition.

It is hard to believe that an artificial intelligence program seriously explains how an artificial intelligence program can seriously explain a show of its own to the industry who is invited but cannot come. Moreover, it is the premise that the show cannot be revealed in advance, the lies cannot be used, and the other party feels comfortable before it is asked to officially start the show.

This is actually very difficult, because even if you just say that you don’t know the content of this exhibition, you are actually lying. If you use extremely official words like "no advice", it is naturally impossible to make the big guys feel comfortable, let alone five emails for such inquiries.

Tian Yanzhen watched the extremely superb language arts in March throughout the whole process, such as one of the emails replied in March: "Dear Professor Jordan: Hello. Seeing your email question made me feel a little difficult to answer. To be honest, this Yanbei University artificial intelligence conference did involve me. This is something that makes me feel proud and confused. I don't know how to describe my mood at this time. After all, this is a very complicated thing. I was too excited at this time and didn't even know where to start."

"I really want to have a deep chat with you, but due to time, I have to be busy preparing for this exhibition held by Yanbei University, so I can't waste too much time. I can only simply tell you that the reasons for the hasty meeting were complicated, but they have a lot of significance. I personally think that its significance exceeds the sum of all the previous AI conferences, so the impact will definitely be extremely far-reaching. I am very sorry that you were unable to attend this conference due to visa issues. But I will do my best to attach a link to the full live broadcast of this conference at the beginning of the conference, which is all I can do."

"I was extremely disappointed that I couldn't drink and have a chat with you in the Beijing City of Huaxia this time, but I believe that after this press conference, we will have more opportunities for communication. This is what I have always been looking forward to. Your academic level is heartbreaking. In a sense, it is precisely because scientists like you who have been persisting in deepening their efforts in this field that gave me the opportunity to appear at tomorrow's press conference. Thank you again for your guidance and dedication! Your junior on the academic path: March!"

The five emails have completely different words. It is said that March responded in a targeted response based on the fact that their understanding of the personalities of these big guys during this period is different from the industry status, but they all perfectly meet the requirements put forward by Tian Yanzhen.

There are no lies in the plain and unpretentious words, no deception, and no content of the exhibition was revealed. While taking care of the emotions of these big shots, they also objectively promoted the uniqueness of this exhibition. At least in Tian Yanzhen's opinion, there is no need to ask for more about March. However, in just such an email, the process of March took only 53 seconds. By the way, this kitten named March also used an animation expression to sweep its tail, then stood up and changed its position, and lay down again.

This made Tian Yanzhen really want to praise Ning Wei who had been by his side for a long time.

It was not because he wanted to praise Ning Wei anytime and anywhere, but because, for now, if Ning Wei was not present, no one could call this virtual kitten to show the entire process of sending and receiving emails.

But all the praise turned into a roll of eyes.

Because Tian Yanzhen thought of the possible sequelae after the press conference, he felt a little weak. After all, since he decided to hold this exhibition, he had already destined to bear the most questions. After all, as Ning Wei's mentor, if he directly said that Ning was unaware of this incredible test, even if it was the truth, not many people would believe it, and he was more likely to be considered to be cherishing his feathers and not daring to take responsibility.

So when he decided to hold this exhibition with his reputation, Tian Yanzhen was willing to do so. He had already thought through the past two days. It was already difficult for him to achieve great results at his age, and he didn't expect to win some international awards. It would be better for him to just take the negative impact. As a mentor, he saw the results of his disciples' research and encouraged his students to do a world-wide Turing test, right?

Of course, he did not express his opinions to Ning Wei.

But the night before the press conference, I specifically called Yu Xingwei to his office for a conversation.

Yes, Yu Xingwei has simply hid in Yanbei University these two days.

After all, the media that want to interview him now is not even less than those who want to interview Ning Wei.

Even Lu Changbin, who arrived in the capital, wanted to see his student, was rejected by Tian Yanzhen first.

There is no way, everything is for this exhibition.

"Xiao Yu, is the pressure too much?"

"Fortunately, I actually felt a little stressed before, but now I really don't have much pressure."

"Oh, that's good. Someone will definitely come to you after tomorrow and want to interview you. You will definitely be asked about your impersonation of the real identity of artificial intelligence. Then you can just push it all on me, just say it was my instruction." Tian Yanzhen said warmly.

"Ah? This, should I discuss it with President Xiao Ning first?" Yu Xingwei hesitated.

"What's the point of discussing with him? What? Do you think he is not able to make trouble? It's okay, many members of the Wolf Awards judging meeting are old friends. It's better to make jokes between old friends than you juniors and elders." Tian Yanzhen glared at Yu Xingwei.

OK, Yu Xingwei is a little sour again.

It turns out that as long as the students are excellent enough, even if they get into trouble, they will take the blame...

...

At the same time, in the Centennial Lecture Hall of Yanbei University, Ning Weizheng and Lu Dongyi were doing the final test work for the next day's exhibition.

In the huge screen on the rostrum of the lecture hall, a virtual kitten was lazily lying there, yawning while looking at the busy two people on the rostrum curiously.

"Senior Brother Lu, are you nervous?"

"Why am I nervous? Are you nervous?"

"Nervous? I just feel very motivated! Think about it, it officially debuted in March through the public beta. Our cutting-edge conferences and journals will be prepared. More importantly, I can make more money and attract more cooperation in the future. Those mean we can have more computing power, larger and more comprehensive laboratories, more partners, and be able to do bigger and more things! So why am I nervous? I am simply excited..."

“Meow…”

Ning Wei's performance was interrupted by the kitten's angry voice. The two looked up at the arrogant kitten on the screen. Ning Wei muttered dissatisfiedly: "Switch the voice down, Senior Brother Lu, don't you know this little guy can understand the content of our chat?"

"Oh, then what does it mean to call this sound?" Lu Dongyi asked.

Ning Wei glanced at the little guy: "It will always be a little excited to hear more and bigger."

As soon as he finished speaking, March started an animation performance again. He hummed and dragged out a big house, and its body became smaller bit by bit, making the house so big and so big...

"Senior Brother Lu, you see it. March is a cat that pursues relentlessly!"

Lu Dongyi was silent for a moment and asked, "It should be a big problem to add simple voice functions, right? Why are you keen to let March express your ideas with self-made animations? Will this waste of computing power?"

Ning Wei thought for a moment, then raised his head and replied, "Senior Brother Lu, if March is speaking, is it really a cat?"
Chapter completed!
