Chapter 92 Grinding on the Ground
Chapter 92 Grinding on the Ground
Because Xie Fengling, this academic femme fatale, spends all her time in the lab under the guise of collaboration, Lu Ming and his apprentice Lin Xiaowei have no choice but to remain inactive.
Let's work together to complete the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's project, "Distillation and Compression Mathematical Mechanism and Efficient Reasoning of Large-Scale Models for Industrial Lightweighting".
Anyway, this project is a forward-looking study on a new topic, and many of the results will be useful later.
Just as the fall admissions season arrived, Lin Xiaowei's lab finally gained two more doctoral students from the university.
The man's name is Tang Ye. He is a graduate student recommended for admission to the Information and Computing Strong Foundation Program at our university. He is not very tall, but he is quite good-looking. He has won the first prize in the National Mathematical Olympiad and the second prize in the National Undergraduate Modeling Competition.
The woman's name is Ye Huimin. She was my classmate and had also won the national first prize in the high school math Olympiad.
The advantages of having a first degree are really obvious.
Within just a few days of joining the group, he easily overpowered Yang Xuan, a second-year doctoral student, and almost threatened Lu Ming's position.
By October, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's project had finally come to an end.
We submitted it for review before the deadline set by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Objectively speaking, this project is of little use; it can only be used to cobble together a paper for various enterprises and institutions to appreciate as a failed approach.
Everyone just needs to know that this route isn't very effective!
Under current technological conditions and in the traditional approach, lightweight compression of large models inevitably leads to problems such as data distortion, and adjusting algorithms and models can only be a temporary solution.
If the requirements are not high, companies can continue to design more efficient new models based on the results of the paper.
Lin Xiaowei herself directly abandoned this traditional route and wanted to explore a new multi-frequency adaptive route.
For the sake of confidentiality, Lu Ming led a team of undergraduate interns, including Hu Jinyu and Huang Jiaxuan, to conduct experiments in a newly rented research facility.
Let's do a simple, rough verification first.
The main concern is with Zhu Weiping, the director of the Institute of Intelligent Science, and Xie Fengling, an associate professor; these two are definitely in cahoots.
By secretly working on this until the end of the year, it's basically certain that Professor Lin Xiaowei's inference is correct.
It's doable!
Even now, Lu Ming and Lin Xiaowei still haven't revealed their new research topic.
Even an undergraduate like Hu Jinyu could see that the new research topic was a slap in the face to Zhu Weiping, the director of the Institute of Intelligent Science, and it was a slap in the face from both sides.
They also took away the second phase of the Yabin Intelligent Textile Center project that Zhu Weiping wanted.
What a deep grudge they must have!
Will we still be able to attend the same school in the future?
That afternoon.
Lu Ming made an appointment in advance to go to the president's office to find Vice President Dai. Among the five vice presidents of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, this academician in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering is specifically responsible for the integration of industry and research and innovation cooperation.
After receiving the new research proposal submitted by Lu Ming, Vice Principal Dai only glanced at the preface before hurriedly putting on his reading glasses to examine it closely.
In recent years, lightweight large models have become a hot topic of industry-academia collaboration in China, and major 985 universities are working on them.
Many topics overlap; you do it once, and then I'll do it again in a different way.
Lin Xiaowei's submitted topic is different.
Brand new.
The idea is also excellent.
After carefully reading the report, which was over 10,000 words long, Vice Principal Dai slowly took off his reading glasses, feeling both excited and a little embarrassed.
This is going to utterly humiliate Zhu Weiping, the director of the Institute of Intelligent Science and Technology at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, who is a leader in the field of AI industry-academia collaboration.
That's going too far!
"Xiao Lu, based on your intuition, is it possible for Professor Lin to collaborate with Zhu Weiping on this project?"
Vice Principal Dai could only think of this one way to avoid making Zhu Weiping lose too much face.
"How could that be? If this project can indeed achieve the expected results, and the subsequent industrialization research and progress are also very smooth, wouldn't it be unreasonable for Professor Lin to be elected as an academician?"
Lu Ming could understand his leader's feelings, but such a thing was absolutely impossible.
If Jiangsu University of Science and Technology is determined to retain Zhu Weiping's position and spare no expense to make him the leader of the school's AI industry-research and development, then Lin Xiaowei will leave now and will not stay a day longer.
He will definitely follow Lin Xiaowei to another school to pursue his doctorate.
Jiangnan University, Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, or even the two 985 universities in the neighboring province, would all be fine with him. After all, he won the gold medal in the Qiu Cheng competition, and any university would be willing to admit him directly for doctoral studies.
pity.
In this year's National Undergraduate Modeling Contest, he only won the second prize and failed to complete the main task (eight).
Most of my energy has been focused on this new project.
Vice Principal Dai was in a difficult position and sighed, "Lu Ming, it's not so simple to become an academician these days. There are too many high-level competitors, and it requires effort from all sides."
The university will definitely support Professor Lin Xiaowei's research project, but to ensure its success, we hope she will carefully consider collaborating with Professor Zhu Weiping as much as possible.
"Impossible. My advisor only sent me here because he suspected the school would make such an arrangement. If the school doesn't value her, she will immediately switch schools."
Lu Ming spread his hands.
He couldn't help her with this. Lin Xiaowei was really arrogant, otherwise she wouldn't have been ostracized to Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
This female professor is truly confident and has a strong personality; she doesn't ask for favors and doesn't want others to ask her for favors.
Everyone does their own thing and competes based on their own abilities!
Furthermore, given Zhu Weiping's greed, even if the school wanted to appease him by nominally involving him in the project, he would still try every means to seize control of the project and ultimately monopolize the academic achievements in order to be elected as an academician.
"Wow, what a coincidence that you guys made!"
Vice Principal Dai didn't know what to say. If he had known it would turn out like this, he shouldn't have handed over the Yabin Intelligent Textile Center project to Zhu Weiping in the first place.
This is so embarrassing!
Zhu Weiping happens to be a key figure in the AI industrialization and research that the school has been supporting in recent years. He is already one of the top experts in this field in China and is a member of the review committees of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Education.
The talents selected for the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program" are already considered to be half academicians.
After weighing the options repeatedly in his mind, Vice Principal Dai had no choice but to compromise and said with determination, "I will give Zhu Weiping a personal guarantee. He will participate in part of the research and complete the project as soon as possible, but he will only be listed as a third author. This is the bottom line of the school, and we cannot back down any further."
Logically speaking, we should fully support Lin Xiaowei and let her compete fairly with Zhu Weiping.
but!
Lin Xiaowei may leave Jiangsu University of Science and Technology at any time, perhaps to teach abroad or at Tsinghua or Peking University, but Zhu Weiping will not leave easily. He was entirely cultivated by Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, and his interpersonal relationships are all within the university.
The university is also very realistic; it's impossible for them to completely ignore a tenured professor who genuinely wants to stay, just for the sake of a specially appointed professor who might leave at any time.
Lu Ming immediately stood up and sighed, "Since that's the case, then I can only go to Jiang University with my advisor. I was hoping to bring in over a billion yuan worth of research projects for the university, but it seems Jiang University will benefit from them!"
"Hey, Xiao Lu, don't be in such a hurry. I was just saying it offhand!" Vice Principal Dai immediately changed his bottom line.
Lu Daqi truly lives up to his reputation as a muscular heartthrob and academic superstar with tens of millions of followers. His ability to secure projects is unmatched at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology!
Vice Principal Dai knew all too well.
The hard carbon anode project for nano-batteries, which he personally led, received more than 30 million yuan in cooperation funding from ASRock last year. He also shared a very novel R&D idea from within ASRock, which is indeed easier to achieve industrial mass production of ultra-high purity.
As far as he knew, the major shareholder of this Huaqing company was Han Huilan, along with several other female chairpersons, who secretly invested over 10 billion yuan in an attempt to dominate the entire nano-battery industry chain.
They are all Lu Daqi's top female supporters, die-hard and enthusiastic fans!
