I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1171: The Name Looks Familiar

Back in his dorm, Huang Zeji didn't rest immediately. Instead, he casually opened a downloaded paper.

He first skimmed through the abstract before starting to read from the first page.

The paper is very long, dozens of pages long, and contains a large number of mathematical formulas and network structure diagrams.

Huang Zeji read very slowly, stopping to look up information whenever he encountered something he didn't understand.

He has resources that ordinary college students don't have, such as VIP access to the Pudong Public Library, Soso.com, and Youhu, which allows him to easily access all the information he wants.

If it's not available online, that won't be a problem for him. He just needs to tell his father what information he wants, and he'll get it within three days.

When he was halfway through reading the paper, an experimental data point caught his attention: in low-texture regions, the RAFT estimation error was nearly an order of magnitude lower than that of traditional methods.

And that is precisely the problem with his current algorithm.

SIFT feature points are scarce in low-texture regions, leading to decreased registration accuracy. Inverse permutation could solve this problem...

Thinking of this, Huang Zeji couldn't help but get excited. He quickly opened a new window and began to look at the network structure and code implementation of RAFT.

In the dormitory, Gao Yuzhou, Teng Geli, and Song Cheng were also busy studying instead of resting. It has to be said that students who can get into key universities are very self-disciplined.

Around midnight, Tenggerli said to Huang Zeji, "Young Master, it's getting late, you should go to sleep."

Huang Zeji then noticed that Gao Yuzhou and Song Cheng were busy washing up and getting ready for bed.

He glanced at the time and said, "You guys go to sleep first, I'll look at the paper a little longer."

Tengger knew his classmate's temperament, so he stopped trying to persuade him and went to wash up and prepare to rest.

Huang Ze continued reading the paper until 2 a.m., but he was starting to feel the strain, as it had been going on for several days in a row. Otherwise, he definitely could have kept going.

The next day, after getting up, Tenggeri noticed that Huang Zeji's complexion was not good, so he stopped him.

"Young Master, why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll bring you breakfast later."

"Oh, so Lao Teng really wants to be the eldest young master's cousin-in-law. He's really giving the eldest young master special treatment!" Gao Yuzhou joked from the side.

Of course, Tengger would never admit it: "Get lost! I'm just concerned about my classmate; it's purely friendship between classmates."

Huang Zeji shook his head and smiled. Ever since his cousin Huo Xinyuan came to visit, there has been a new topic in the dormitory that they talk about every few days.

In mid-March, the magnolias on the campus of Shanghai University bloomed, attracting many female students to take photos under the flowers.

However, there were quite a few people in front of the notice board.

A poster was placed in the most conspicuous position.

The sign reads: The First Financial Technology and Computer Interdisciplinary Innovation Competition.

Organized by: Hudan School of Economics + Huhai Bank Financial Technology Lab

Co-organizer: Hudan Institute of Technology and Innovation.

The bottom of the poster lists the competition rules, which allow teams of three to five people to form. The winning team will receive a prize of 200,000 yuan and an internship at the Shanghai Bank Financial Technology Lab.

"Two hundred thousand! That's a bank for you, they're really generous."

"Don't be silly, 200,000 is nothing. The internship is the most valuable thing. The financial technology lab is said to be an important department of Shanghai Bank. I heard from some senior students that if you can get a formal offer from the financial lab after graduation, the annual salary will be at least 300,000."

For a time, the crowd standing in front of the bulletin board was filled with discussions, but few people decided to sign up. After all, the competition required a high level of professional ability, and if they rashly formed a team, they would be doomed if the topic was not in their area of ​​expertise.

The atmosphere in the living room of international student apartment 601 was even more lively than in front of the bulletin board.

"Zeng Wentian, have you made up your mind? We're waiting for your reply now."

Zeng Wentian didn't appear in the living room, but his voice came from his room: "There are still two days left, and we still don't know what the specific questions are."

Ou Ya nudged Xu Ziang: "You tell him."

"Zeng Wentian, the questions are out, they're on the school website, take a look."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Wentian, who was in his room, turned on the campus network and quickly saw the competition topic: A Merchant Evaluation System Based on Multi-Source Images.

The following are detailed instructions: Participating teams need to design and simulate a system that integrates multi-source imagery information such as satellite images, street view data, social media comments and pictures to comprehensively assess the operating status, business district value and credit risk of target merchants.

After reading the question, Zeng Wentian went to the living room. When the three of them saw him come out, they all looked at him.

After meeting him, Cui Minzhu said, "Zeng Wentian, your major is financial technology, Ou Ya is financial engineering, I am marketing, and Xu Ziang is data science. Although you are the one with the strongest computer skills among us, I think we should still find someone who is proficient in computer vision."

To be honest, Zeng Wentian knew that this project was actually quite good. Although it was only experimental in nature, given time, and as the development of software and hardware progressed further, it was very likely to be realized.

Moreover, this technology can be used by any bank in the future, including the Nanyang Brothers Bank controlled by my mother.

However, given my limited computer skills, I'm no match for this project, and I really need to find another teammate.

"I just checked, and we can't participate in this competition. Although I know a little about computers, I don't have the skills required for this competition."

This is indeed a problem, and one of the most important aspects of this competition is the computer professionals who solve complex image processing problems.

Of the four, although Cui Minzhu and Ou Ya are first-year graduate students, their computer skills are only average; they are merely proficient in using computers.

Zeng Wentian and Xu Ziang are only freshmen. They can only be said to have some strengths in their respective fields of study, but neither of them is proficient in the professional field of computer science.

This problem has caused them a great deal of distress.

Xu Ziang suddenly remembered something.

He said, "I do know someone."

The other three looked at him: "Who?"

"I heard that there is a student in my year from the School of Computer Science and Technology. Last semester, when I was chatting with a senior from the School of Computer Science and Technology, he told me that there was a very talented freshman in his advisor's project group who was already researching image processing software in high school and was at a very high level."

Ou Ya quickly asked, "Who is it?"

Zeng Wentian guessed who Xu Ziang was talking about, but he didn't show it. He wanted to hear whether Xu Ziang's name matched his own.

"His name is Huang Zeji."

Ou Ya was stunned for a moment; the name sounded so familiar!
