Chapter 162 I did it, hahaha I did it!
Lu Yao was still a little surprised when he heard that someone dared to come and cause trouble for their project.

The funds for their project were directly allocated from above, and Lu Xiaoyi was sent over to serve as a supervisor.

As the "supervisor", Lu Xiaoyi not only has to supervise all aspects of the project, but is also responsible for the progress of the entire project.

Therefore, in the early stages of the AI ​​data center construction, Lu Xiaoyi was the busiest because she had to coordinate issues from all aspects.

Once the hardware construction of the AI ​​data center is completed and corresponding results are achieved, Lu Xiaoyi will probably be able to graduate from here and enter a department with more advanced functions.

Of course, the successor here will definitely have a close relationship with Lu Xiaoyi.

This will become a highlight that cannot be ignored in Lu Xiaoyi's future career; but at the same time, if things here are not handled well and become a mess, Lu Xiaoyi's career prospects will also be affected.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoyi is the one in their current team who cares most about this matter and is under the greatest pressure.

Seeing Lu Xiaoyi coming back so irritably, Lu Yao put down the plan and asked, "Is it solved? Do you want us to do anything?"

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "These are all small matters. I solved them on my way back."

Lu Yao took the initiative to get up and make a cup of tea for Lu Xiaoyi, and said with a smile: "Sister Lu, can you tell me what's going on? I'm really curious."

He poured tea and chatted in a gentle tone, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. After Lu Xiaoyi was led by Lu Yao to chat for a few words, her anger had been reduced a lot, so she also sat on the sofa in the hall and said speechlessly: "It was the local earthworkers who came here to cause trouble, and they blocked our earthwork trucks and wouldn't let us leave."

Lu Yao was surprised and said, "That shouldn't be the case. The big brothers of Gao Tufang are the most capable of handling things. Whenever there is a project, they will definitely arrange it comfortably for everyone."

Earthwork projects, which have a very strong regional nature, are usually handed over to local people. They have complex connections in the local area and it is no exaggeration to say that they have connections everywhere.

Although these big brothers are rumored to be very fierce, they are also the most capable of handling things. Especially now that it is 2014, many local big brothers have become honest, and there is no reason for them to do something like causing a traffic jam.

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "The situation you are talking about is when the earthwork project has been contracted to a local earthwork boss. Now all parts of the country are actively developing the real estate industry, and Xiaoxi's family is also doing these things. It just so happens that there is a project site nearby, so the earthwork here was contracted to Xiaoxi's family."

"Originally, I have informed them about this matter, and they have agreed to it."

Lu Xiaoyi finally talked about what made her angry: "But there is more than one company doing earthwork here. Some of them have conflicts with each other and deliberately kept the news secret so that those companies could work together to block our construction vehicles."

Lu Yao understood.

This is using our Sister Lu as a gun.

Lu Yao stood up for Lu Xiaoyi with an indignant look on his face: "These people are so mean, who do they think our sister Lu is! They must be severely punished!"

When Lu Yao said these words, his expression was exaggerated, even deliberate, but Lu Xiaoyi was also a woman, and she had worked with Lu Yao for a long time. Although she sometimes disagreed with Lu Yao's way of doing things, they were still friends.

Seeing that Lu Yao was so determined to stand up for him, Lu Xiaoyi felt much more relieved.

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Then I definitely won't stand this. I went straight to them and gave them a good scolding. I also recorded a few of them's offenses."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "If I were you, I would definitely scrape off a layer of skin from them. How about I help you?"

Lu Xiaoyi's face suddenly became serious: "Don't worry about it. The most important thing is to ensure the completion of the project, promote the construction of the AI ​​data center and produce results as soon as possible."

In Lu Yao’s business plan, they want to lay the most solid foundation for the AI ​​data center in the first year.

In the second year, I started to build my own large AI model and accumulate experience.

In the third year, we will strive to make breakthroughs and achieve certain results.

Three years is exactly the period of her term as the head of the Supervisory Board. Once she produces results, she will be promoted smoothly.

For someone like her, future is the most important thing, and everything else comes second.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I'm afraid they won't learn their lesson."

Lu Xiaoyi glared at Lu Yao, and said with a stern face, "Alright, alright, I know you feel bad for your sister Lu."

During the time that he worked with Lu Yao, Lu Xiaoyi's businesslike personality was gradually worn down by Lu Yao, and the relationship between the two became much more intimate and warm.

Lu Xiaoyi looked at Wang Shan's empty seat and said, "Brother Wang recently went back to the research institute for a meeting. When he occasionally chatted with me, he told me that there is a big controversy within the group about the direction of AI development."

“And there’s no particularly clear direction for each.”

Lu Xiaoyi worriedly asked, "Can we really build our own AI model next year?"

Lu Yao is very sure about this, because by next year Google will have developed an AI model based on the "self-attention mechanism" and published a paper in 2017 titled "Attention is All You Need", in which the concept was first proposed.

In natural language processing tests, the "self-attention mechanism" quickly became a new industry benchmark and became the underlying architecture of AI models such as ChatGPT.

Lu Yao himself didn’t know much about AI, but as AI became increasingly popular, various popular science articles about AI flooded the market, and Lu Yao passively absorbed a lot of knowledge related to this field.

To professional experts, this knowledge can only be considered as popular science, but in 2014, the information that Lu Yao possessed could influence the future.

So Lu Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely work."

No matter how bad they are, they can still build models with the help of papers published by Google in 2017. Even if they only started building models in 2017, it is enough to be ahead of most of their domestic peers and become the leader in the AI ​​industry.

But Lu Yao didn't plan to wait that long.

When Wang Shan comes back from the laboratory, perhaps he can talk to Wang Shan indirectly.

What geniuses often need is just a spark of inspiration. When this spark of inspiration ignites their ocean of knowledge, a system that provides that inspiration will naturally emerge.

And Lu Yao now holds the "flame of inspiration" from the future in his hand.

I just don’t know whether Wang Shan’s knowledge reserves are sufficient and whether he can be ignited by Lu Yao’s spark of inspiration.

After helping Lu Xiaoyi relieve his depression, Lu Yao continued to work on his own plan.

The construction of the AI ​​data center has now begun, and the construction of the hardware will take about a year. During this period, Lu Yao can first establish the projects to be undertaken. After all the projects are gradually put on the market, he can accumulate training data for future AI models.

This is the most important thing for AI models. AI with data but no training is empty and useless.

……

Two days later, Wang Shan returned from the capital.

Several days of high-intensity meetings and running back and forth made Wang Shan very tired, but even though he was very tired, after returning, Wang Shan still sat in front of his computer like Tiebutt, staring blankly.

He came back around five in the afternoon and sat in front of the computer without moving until around ten in the evening.

He was like a stuck machine.

In the evening, Lu Yao came to Wang Shan's computer desk with two cups of nutritional supplements for calming the nerves and nourishing the brain, and asked with a smile: "Wang, do you want to drink something?"

Wang Shan replied stiffly like a robot: "I don't drink coffee."

Lu Yao put the cup next to Wang Shan's table and said, "It's not coffee, it's a nutritious product for calming the nerves and nourishing the brain." Wang Shan smiled and said, "Thank you."

Lu Yao leaned against Wang Shan's desk and said, "I see you've been standing here stiffly since you came back this afternoon. Do you have any particularly difficult questions? Tell me and we can talk about it."

Wang Shan smiled and said, "It's all professional matters."

This is a clear rejection.

Although Lu Yao's plan described the steps of building AI in great detail, and even explained clearly how to feed and train AI, after this period of contact, Wang Shan also realized that Lu Yao was a complete layman in computer engineering.

So he didn't plan to chat more with Lu Yao.

Lu Yao did not give up: "Then treat it as a popular science lesson for me. Feynman said that the best way to learn is to explain what you know to people who don't know. If the other person can understand, it means that you have truly digested and absorbed the knowledge."

Wang Shan nodded. The Feynman learning method really makes sense.

After a little thought, Wang Shan agreed with Lu Yao's opinion and planned to give Lu Yao some basic knowledge about AI, which would also help him sort out his thoughts.

So Wang Shan thought about it and pulled out a piece of paper and said, "This time when I returned to Beijing, there was a big disagreement in the group about which neural network to specialize in. Do you know what the mainstream neural network models are now?"

Lu Yao shook his head.

Then Wang Shan began to give Lu Yao scientific knowledge.

The more mainstream neural networks at present include "deep neural network", "convolutional neural network", "generative adversarial network", "recurrent neural network" and so on.

Among them, convolutional neural networks have performed very well in image recognition, target detection and other fields.

Recurrent neural networks are very advantageous when processing "sequence data". Recurrent neural networks have cyclic connections, which allow information to be transmitted and remembered in the network. Each time step receives an input and a hidden state, and then calculates the output of the current time step and the new hidden state based on the current input and the hidden state of the previous time step.

Wang Shan said after the lecture: "The industry is optimistic about recurrent neural networks. They are very good at parsing and memorizing natural languages."

"But if we take this as our main focus, I always feel like something is not right."

Lu Yao looked at the schematic diagram of the recurrent neural input-output model drawn by Wang Shan on paper and found that this process was actually very similar to the transformer.

The difference lies only in the design of the middle layer.

So Lu Yao racked his brains to express his understanding of transformers: "I think this is not right. Recurrent neural networks have a rote feeling. Can we design an algorithm to capture the inherent algorithm in the input data?"

"If we are dealing with natural language, then we must have a focus when we speak. If we can find the focus through the algorithm model and then give data feedback, wouldn't it be better?"

Wang Shan didn't take Lu Yao's suggestion seriously at first, but his clever brain started working subconsciously.

Find the key points through algorithms?
It doesn't seem to work either.

Finding the key points can essentially be considered as finding the mathematical expectation of a discrete probability distribution. Through algorithms, it is easy to find the key points in simple natural language.

"hiss"

Wang Shan suddenly lowered his head and hugged it. Countless equations and ideas began to surge in his mind. The inspiration that burst out at that moment seemed to burst his brain.

Lu Yao didn't dare to speak at this time. He quietly retreated and asked people inside and outside the villa not to disturb Wang Shan.

With the development of artificial intelligence, a lot of things have actually been accumulated, just like the scientific theories a century ago.

What Wang Shan lacks may be just this little spark of inspiration, and this little spark of inspiration is even more important than 99% of hard work.

Lu Yao didn't sleep much tonight and stayed with Wang Shan in the lobby on the first floor.

That night, Wang Shan first held his head and thought hard. Then, he suddenly started typing frantically on the computer with burning eyes. Then, he started scratching his ears and cheeks while typing.

This situation continued until dawn.

When it was daybreak, Lu Xiaoyi, Gan Xiaoxi and Lin Yongzhen, who had just woken up, all came to the first floor with puzzled looks on their faces. They looked at Wang Shan, whose hair and face were greasy, and also looked at Lu Yao, who was accompanying them, with the same puzzled look.

Just as Gan Xiaoxi was about to say something, Lu Xiaoyi grabbed her arm and shook his head at her.

Lu Xiaoyi understood Wang Shan very well in this state and knew that he was thinking about something very important. He just didn't know why he suddenly entered such a thinking state, nor did he know why Lu Yao had to accompany him.

She came to Lu Yao and whispered, "What's the situation now?"

Lu Yao shook his head: "He became like this after I talked to him last night. I can't stand it anymore. You stay here and watch. This period of time is very important."

Lu Xiaoyi nodded: "I understand."

Then she simply arranged for Gan Xiaoxi and Lin Yongzhen to go out and play, and told them not to come back until they received the message. Then she asked the people in charge of security outside the villa to notify the hotel and ask them to try not to stay near their villa.

Lu Xiaoyi himself was watching in the lobby on the first floor instead of Lu Yao.

Because he stayed up all night, Lu Yao fell asleep as soon as he got home, and his sleep was a little dizzy.

When he woke up, he found that it was already dark outside the window. After a simple wash, he felt very hungry, so he tiptoed downstairs. When he reached the lobby on the first floor, he found Wang Shan still glued to the computer.

Wang Shan's eyes are now red and bloodshot, and his attention is focused as never before.

Lu Xiaoyi looked at Lu Yao who was coming down from a place far away from Wang Shan and said worriedly: "How many hours has it been since he last rested? Should we let him stop for a while?"

Lu Yao chuckled and said, "I don't dare anyway."

Lu Xiaoyi: “.”

She said it as if she dared.

Until now, Wang Shan has been hunched over the computer as if he had been possessed by a soul. She has to serve him personally even when he eats and drinks. He jogs all the way to the toilet and doesn't even zip up his pants when he comes back.

This shows that his thinking is unprecedentedly focused. If his train of thought is interrupted, it is hard to imagine how great the damage would be.

But if you keep going like this, you will become useless.

Lu Xiaoyi had even quietly called medical staff to be on standby at the hotel.

Lu Yao saw something on the table, and he took it and stuffed it into his mouth without caring that it was completely cold: "Wait and see."

When midnight came again, Wang Shan suddenly pushed the table, collapsed on the chair and muttered to himself: "It's done."

"Haha."

"I did it, hahahaha! I did it!!"
