After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 134 The Abacus of Information Technology University

The literal meaning of "uncertainty" is very easy to understand. In mathematics, it has concepts such as uncertainty and randomness.

But what is the input method for non-deterministic input?

The cornerstone of modern computers is binary. The inputs of gate circuits are nothing more than two types: 0 and 1. No matter how complex the logic is, even if it is a very large-scale integrated circuit, the foundation behind it is the gate circuit.

Could it be that the gate circuit could have other inputs? Wouldn’t that directly overturn the binary logic?

As he was thinking about this, suddenly a concept popped up in Wei Shujie's mind - fuzzy mathematics.

I still remember that when he was in his sophomore year, there was such a course in the elective class and he chose it. As for now, there seems to be only one concept left in his mind: using mathematical methods to study and deal with fuzzy things is a tool for dealing with uncertainty problems.

At the end of the class, the teacher gave a classic summary of the course: Fuzzy mathematics is a bridge between classical mathematics and the real world full of ambiguity.

At that time, the teacher predicted that fuzzy mathematics would become popular with the development of artificial intelligence in the future.

But the prediction has not been fulfilled until today. Although artificial intelligence has the shadow of fuzzy mathematics to a certain extent, the complexity of the theories related to fuzzy mathematics and the subsequent research is still too high.

Uncertainty problems are much more difficult than certainty problems.

"This question is somewhat consistent with the concept of fuzzy mathematics." Wei Shujie thought for a while and said so.

"What is fuzzy mathematics?" Hao Cheng had never even heard of this concept.

"I also chose this as an elective course for one semester when I was in my sophomore year. I haven't touched on the specific content in many years." Wei Shujie gave a detailed introduction to the content he had just recalled.

"That's not right. If, as you said, fuzzy mathematics is the bridge between classical mathematics and the real world, then its applications should be very wide. The ultimate goal of artificial intelligence is to pursue this!" Hao Cheng asked doubtfully.

"Theory is theory, practice is practice." Wei Shujie shook his head: "This thing is too difficult, so difficult that there is only theory and no way forward."

"Xiaosha, sort out the relevant concepts and current applications." Wei Shujie didn't know much at the moment, so Hao Cheng directly called Xiaosha.

【Fuzzy mathematics is...】

Hao Cheng looked at all the relevant concepts and applications that Xiaosha had sorted out, and combined with what Wei Shujie had just introduced, he quickly linked them together with the two concepts of "micro-consciousness" mapping and super code system.

It can be said that there are certain similarities. Even if fuzzy mathematics is a theory, then the design of micro-consciousness is the application, and mapping and super code system are the operating methods.

Then Hao Chengji quickly understood why this thing is not very popular now - the concept is indeed very advanced, even too advanced - how can it be so easy to assume a bridge between classical mathematics and the real world?
Let alone this, even the theoretical basis of micro-consciousness does not dare to fully say this.

So the relevant theories are just theories, and they are empty theories, and everything else is still far away.

Mathematics corresponds to the world, so the obvious question is, how do you correspond?
If 80 catties is thin and 300 catties is fat, then what is 140 catties? 0.5 fat?
The original intention was to use mathematical methods to deal with the real world full of ambiguity, but the specific methods of handling were particularly immature, and ultimately returned to mathematical calculations and precision.

For example, there is a precise calculation formula and index for the problem of being fat or thin.

"In that case, we will use fuzzy mathematics as a theory and combine it with the logic of current logic gate circuits to design a set of operation methods and application means. The specific direction is roughly..."

Hao Cheng's thinking became clearer and clearer. He had feet under his legs and a direction in his mind. Even if there was no road ahead, as long as he took a step forward, he would be successful.

Looking at the person in front of him who is the same age as him, Wei Shujie also felt infinite emotion in his heart: the things described are beautiful, but how to move forward step by step?
"Oh! I've fallen into a trap this time!" Unlike the previous research in school that was only for writing papers, judging from Hao Cheng's attitude, this time the research will go straight into the no-man's land: "But why am I still a little excited inside?"

……

"You are supervising three graduate students now, right?" Hao Cheng asked after talking about the project and subsequent research.

"Yes, but now there are four." Wei Shujie replied with a smile.

"Count me in?" Hao Cheng knew what the University of Information Science and Technology was planning as soon as he heard it.

"Yes, but you don't have to do anything. When the time comes, I will issue you a diploma and degree certificate, and it will be for a doctorate. I don't have the qualifications to accept doctoral students. Your nominal supervisor will be the vice president."

Wei Shujie explained: "This is what the vice-president meant. He asked me to convey the school's idea to you. But if you don't want to, just refuse directly. It won't affect our cooperation."

After all, Hao Cheng is not an ordinary student. Even if the University of Information Science and Technology wants to issue him a diploma, he may not necessarily want it. Even if he wants it, with his achievements, it is not a problem for him to be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University as an exception. After all, the University of Information Science and Technology is a little bit lacking.

"Haha, how can I refuse something that's free?" Hao Cheng laughed. "Don't mention it. Even if your school asks me to take the exam, I may not be able to pass it."

The university that Hao Cheng graduated from was just an ordinary undergraduate school. When he was admitted, it was still a second-tier university. When he graduated, some majors recruited students in the first batch, but in terms of the quality of the school, it was just average.

The University of Information Science and Technology was once a 985 project and is now a world-class university construction university. It is completely incomparable.

Hao Cheng really wants to take the exam. Not to mention that he may not pass, his thinking and brain are much sharper than before. But he still needs to study hard for a while.

"Then I will accept you as my student!" Wei Shujie joked.

After some communication, Wei Shujie had a certain understanding of Hao Cheng, who was exactly the same age as him. As long as you don't touch his reverse scale or do something annoying, Hao Cheng is very easy-going and very easy to talk to.

"Then Teacher Wei, you have to be careful. I am not the kind of student who will swallow my anger. If you dare to exploit me, I will immediately give up." Hao Cheng was also joking. Appropriate joking can quickly narrow the distance between the two parties.

Hao Cheng asked Xiaosha to evaluate Wei Shujie's past research. The results were only satisfactory, but the ideas were impeccable, and each topic was cutting-edge.

Just as he said, he is in a state of either promotion or dismissal, and he has to hurry to produce results, that's why he is like this.

Hao Cheng chose to believe it and decided to put more pressure on him: "We only have six months to do this research!"

"What?" Wei Shujie was so confused that he couldn't even speak.

But then I thought, what am I afraid of? I immediately replied, "You are the corresponding author of this project anyway, so I will just do whatever you ask me to do."

"Okay then. Here's your task for today: design a practical operation logic as the input to the non-deterministic ALU. You should do whatever I tell you to do, so go ahead and do it!"

"Ah, this..." Wei Shujie suddenly remembered a saying: People can do anything when they are pushed into a corner, except advanced math problems, which I can't do!
……

The two people actually started arguing with each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
