Chapter 175 Do you know what academic popularity means? (33)

have to say.

He Zhanying is indeed a social celebrity.

Not only did she take Xu Qingshan to meet the team from Jiangdong University, she also promised to bring everyone from Jiangdong University to Xu Qingshan's lecture hall tomorrow afternoon to support him.

After thanking He Zhanying, Xu Qingshan left Senior Sister He who was reluctant to leave.

I continued to wander among the guests attending the conference.

In fact, what surprised Xu Qingshan was...

The proportion of female scholars at ICML is higher than that at other traditional academic conferences. Female scholars in the field of computer science are obviously much more numerous than those in the fields of pure mathematics and pure physics.

This somewhat goes against Xu Qingshan's simple understanding.

But this is good news for him.

after all.

Who wouldn’t like a little wolf-dog genius who’s tall, handsome, speaks nicely, has a great figure, and isn’t greasy at all?

Not to mention female scholars, even middle-aged and elderly scholars would be dazzled when they see Xu Qingshan, thinking that this is how they did academic work when they were young.

This is how it should be!
It is all thanks to the image support of many peers.

Xu Qingshan felt that he would be more eye-catching here tonight than the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

Who would have thought.

I actually rely on my looks to make a living at an academic dinner?

After dealing with one enthusiastic scholar after another, Xu Qingshan felt that his special report tomorrow would definitely have a lot of audience.

I don’t know if that small lecture hall can accommodate all of them.

With this project, Xu Qingshan, with the help of a new female professor, found the professor in charge of scheduling academic lecture halls at the University of Montreal, the organizer of ICML. The professor was a Latin American scholar who looked a bit old-fashioned.

"Xu, I think you may need a larger lecture hall. The original small hall may not be able to accommodate your audience."

The female professor who brought Xu Qingshan over spoke to Xu Qingshan eagerly.

"I thought so too. Thank you, Mrs. Triones."

Xu Qingshan gently hugged the still charming female professor.

"I'm glad I could help you."

The Latin American scholar remained silent, as if he saw nothing.

"Hello, I would like to apply to change the academic lecture hall for this afternoon."

Xu Qingshan said politely and sincerely.

"I'm sorry, sir, the schedule has been set and cannot be changed."

The Latino scholar shook his head.

"I saw in the introduction that the small lecture hall we are using may only be able to seat a dozen people. I think there will be dozens of people watching my report, and I don't want to disappoint everyone."

After being rejected, Xu Qingshan was not discouraged and continued to speak sincerely.

"sorry sir."

The Latin American scholar had a blank expression on his face, wore glasses, raised his eyes slightly, did not give a reason, and simply rejected Xu Qingshan.

"I can change to a less busy time, such as just before the show starts in the afternoon, or when it is about to end. I think Hall 3 should have more time in the afternoon, so I can speak more concisely."

Xu Qingshan originally thought that such a simple request would be easily resolved.

After all, this was a suggestion given to him tonight by a great scholar, Professor James Allen, the winner of the best paper award at ICML two years ago, who said that this was a problem that could be easily solved.

But obviously.

This is something that successful people can easily solve, but for a rookie like Xu Qingshan, no one will open up a way for him.

"sorry sir."

There was a slight look of contempt in the Latin American scholar's eyes.

What he despised most were those people who had no real talent and relied solely on their looks and sweet words to get around in the academic circle.

He had just observed Xu Qingshan for a long time and heard about what happened in the afternoon.

He has already defined Xu Qingshan in his mind.

A young scholar who has gone astray and is all show and no substance.

It is obviously just a normal inclusion, or it is because there were problems with the previously included articles, so they were temporarily collected and included as inferior articles.

However, when he came to such an occasion, instead of immersing himself in academics and learning from the bigwigs he met, he was looking for people to chat with everywhere, exchanging business cards and contact information everywhere, and he did not have the attitude of taking academic research seriously at all.

Do you want to get attention by doing this?
Ridiculous.

"Well, if something unexpected happens tomorrow afternoon, I can only apologize to you first."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was clear, Xu Qingshan did not argue any further. He just shook his head and left.

The Latin American scholar looked at Xu Qingshan and then went on to talk to someone else after he left, sneered, and continued to do his own thing.

Accident?

What kind of surprise could there be?
Just a young boy.

The dinner went very smoothly and many people found good partners at the dinner.

This is another good boost to the development of the field of machine learning.

But I guess no one gained more tonight than Xu Qingshan.

Although those big names wanted to recruit Xu Qingshan to their team, there were also many young scholars participating in the ICML conference. These young scholars who followed their mentors are the new force in the future machine learning academic circle.

Compared to the big guys who want to recruit people, they are the ones who are more willing to discuss academic issues with Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan received at least 6 cooperation intentions today.

Don’t think that 6 are few, because these 6 have all been screened, and they are all high-quality projects, and basically they will have visible results.

Xu Qingshan's work in the collaborative project is not as hard as writing it by himself.

The other party has a research team, and can assign some simple and repetitive work to one or two scientific research workers. Then Xu Qingshan and the project leader only need to do the core algorithm part and the correct research direction and research ideas.

What is needed is not time, but height.

If the academic level is high enough, those problems can be solved quickly.

Xu Qingshan returned with a lot of gains, but he did not find Olivia at the dinner, nor did he meet her mentor, Professor Jessica Davis.

After all, there were still too many people at the dinner, which was normal.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Qingshan took a bath and felt even sleepier.

After all, he drank a lot of alcohol, so for him who had hardly drunk alcohol until now, the physical reaction was still quite significant.

I don't feel uncomfortable, I just want to sleep.

It's good to be young, just fall asleep.

By the time I got up the next day, packed up and went to the venue, there were not many empty seats left.

Xu Qingshan walked towards his seat very naturally and generously, and many people greeted him along the way.

He didn't look like he was here to attend an academic conference, but rather to attend a fan meeting. He was the star.

The morning speeches and special reports were actually a bit boring.

But there are still some people who support it.

The important highlights of this conference are the free communication among the elite, and the final future industry outlook, consensus and special reports.

Buffet lunch in the banquet hall at noon.

Xu Qingshan found some food he liked and just sat down when a group of female scholars surrounded him, ranging from young people in their early twenties to older people in their forties and fifties.

Xu Qingshan is not picky and can get along with anyone.

The same is true for restaurants.

The other tables were filled with old men, greasy middle-aged men, and dull young people. Only Xu Qingshan's table was filled with laughter and joy.

Xu Qingshan sighed secretly in his heart.

Am I considered an academic Pan An?
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and thought for a moment. It shouldn’t be considered as such. He should be considered the academic Pan Donkey Deng Xiaoxian.

Some men may feel that they have many women and they are all their wings.

But Xu Qingshan is different.

He felt that these men were too narrow-minded.

If she is not my woman, can’t she be my wings?
If it's not a woman, can't it be wings?
As long as they are a person, or even not a person, as long as they can let me fly, they are all my wings!

Even if she is someone else’s wife, she can still be my wings!

After the toasts.

By the afternoon.

It's time for Xu Qingshan to perform.

Unlike other presenters who were a little nervous and anxious, Xu Qingshan was very calm.

But it was not easy for him, because before starting his speech, he still needed to move around several halls, make eye contact with people on the stage, and say hello to new friends in the audience.

A real master of hosting a show.

But such behavior also proves Xu Qingshan's popularity.

Wherever he went, there were clear voices welcoming him.

Until about four in the afternoon.

Finally, it was time for Xu Qingshan to go on stage in his own small hall to give a report.

At this time, in Hall 1, the academic hall, there was also a scholar preparing to give a report.

He is also from the host University of Montreal, but the content of his research is actually a little outdated. However, this kind of research is more mature and will not go wrong.

And as a host scholar, he received a little bit of preferential treatment.

He was prepared for the academic hall to not be too crowded.

But when he actually went on stage, he almost fell off the stage.

Less than one-third of the seats were occupied.

You know, even a lecture in an academic hall with low popularity will have at least half of the seats in the audience.

Because the quality and level of the thesis topic are there.

But the scene before him dealt him a heavy blow.

The scholar looked at his mentor with a dull expression. He was the Latin American scholar from the University of Montreal.

He was frowning and nodded to the eldest disciple who had already established his own school, indicating that he should continue with his report.

I left Hall 1 to see where everyone had gone.

But once he walked out of the hall and into the corridor of the small hall area, he was stunned.

I saw a group of scholars crowded in the corridor of the small hall. The scholar at the front found something to cushion his sitting on the ground, the scholar in the middle was either half-squatting or sitting, the scholar at the back was standing, and some further away were standing on stools.

He could only see the figure at the end of the corridor from a distance.

That Chinese boy who is all show and no substance.

At this moment, he was standing in front of several blackboards that had been pushed out, holding his academic report in his hand and giving a passionate speech.

The young man's arms were waving, as if he was slapping his old face hard.

Across the crowd.

Xu Qingshan, who had just been pushed out to give a group report, also saw the familiar old man and laughed secretly in his heart.

I informed you in advance.

Do you know what academic popularity means?
Never mind that old Deng.

Xu Qingshan continued to enjoy his own stage.

Xu Qingshan actually just introduced himself briefly in the small hall and wanted to start his academic report.

But before he could finish introducing himself.

A crowd of people poured into the small hall which originally had only fifteen seats.

Xu Qingshan also greeted everyone one by one.

The scholar in the hall who was not very familiar with Xu Qingshan but was quite interested in Xu Qingshan's research topic looked as if he had seen a ghost.

When did a relatively basic statistical relationship learning attract so many scholars?

Also, why are there so many big names?

The winner of the ICML Best Paper Award two years ago, the winner of the AIII Best Paper Award last year, Professor Jessica Davis, and a bunch of big names in the international computer community.

This is not reasonable at all!

Because there were so many people squeezing in at once, there were probably about twenty or thirty people.

The scholars who were originally sitting felt embarrassed to sit still, so they all stood up. There was more space when they stood up.

But there were thirty or forty people in total, and standing in this small hall, it seemed a bit crowded.

"Hey, sir, can you let me in? I'm here to see my little brother Xu's special report."

"Oh? Are you here to see my brother's report as well? Me too, but I can't squeeze in either."

"Oh my god, are you all good friends of our Xu?"

"Your family? Mine. I like him."

"I like him too. You have good taste."

There was a bit of crowd at the entrance of the small hall, so there was no choice but for someone to open the door completely.

But this is far from enough to accommodate the arrival of Xu Qingshan's brothers and sisters and friends.

In the end, it was Bunch's idea.

This guy is really a fan of Xu Qingshan and has been waiting here for a long time.

"Xu, I think we can go to the corridor to talk. We can push the blackboard out, put those boxes and tables together and let you stand on them, so that everyone can see!"

Bald Man Bunch's proposal was recognized by many people.

Among them, the most excited one is the girl He Zhanying.

Olivia was also in the crowd. The girl was dressed very beautifully, but there were too many people and she could not be seen at all.

In fact, many scholars still have a childish mentality and mainly love to play.

This can be seen from the small projects of some famous scholars. They are better at it than ordinary people.

Thanks to the efforts of many friends, Xu Qingshan's report stage was moved from the small hall to the corridor at the entrance of the hall.

Everyone found their own seats and quieted down, just like they were doing club activities in college or celebrating Halloween.

Simple, happy and passionate.

They were not attending Xu Qingshan's academic lecture, they were participating in their own youth.

Xu Qingshan looked at the self-doubting, dejected figure leaving outside the corridor, and didn't care.

He decided not to waste today's stage.

And to be honest, today's scene is really touching.

he thinks.
My inspiration is about to burst out on the spot!!!
