I'm a scientist, why can't I have faith?

After the competition started, most teams rushed into the answering area without any regard for the competition rules and the restriction that each player could only enter and exit the answering area twice.

Sun Yi's team was one of them.

Without a second thought, all four of them entered the answering area as soon as the competition started.

Faced with only one computer, Sun Yi, being the least experienced and least knowledgeable, naturally became a ruthless typing machine.

The remaining experienced teammates provided him with real-time guidance from behind.

"In the SFT phase, don't just use cross-entropy; add a layer of KL divergence constraint."

"You're using the native Linear layer? Switch to FusedLinear, pre-quantize the weights with int8, and calibrate the activation values ​​offline."

"Dude, you can get the attention mask wrong? This is kv_len, not seq_len! Seriously, how did you pass the team entrance exam with this level of skill?"

Sun Yi felt a little guilty and broke out in a sweat because the team entrance exam was online, so he used a little bit of technology.

Now, facing both practical and psychological pressures, his fingers are starting to tremble, and his typing speed is dropping exponentially.

The powerful figure behind him couldn't stand it any longer.

"Forget it, I'll do it. Two hours of your coding is less useful than ten minutes of mine."

Although his self-esteem was greatly hurt, Sun Yi was not an unreasonable person. He consciously left the screen and obediently stood behind his teammates.

"It's okay. I'm already in such a sorry state, so Wang Dong isn't much better off. He probably can't even touch a computer."

Sun Yi comforted himself in this way.

Indeed, just as he had expected, Wang Dong hadn't even touched a computer yet, as he and Su Yuran had been researching materials for clinical guidelines.

As time went by, even the veterans who had long been accustomed to the grueling life in the lab began to struggle and were replaced once again.

"How is it possible to complete the algorithm within the allotted time at this rate? It's a pipe dream!"

Suddenly, he noticed Lan Ce walking into the answer area with his laptop. At this moment, Lan Ce had already completed the automated processing link for multimodal data based on clinical priors.

Once connected to the rack-mounted server array in the closed server room of the competition venue and given the queue dataset, you only need to wait for the algorithm to automatically complete the data processing.

During the waiting period, he replaced Wei Linfeng to continue building the time-series fusion network architecture.

"Isn't that Senior Brother Lan Ce? Where did he get this notebook? I'll go ask him."

The big shot who was just suppressing Sun Yi is now scurrying off to another, even bigger, powerful figure.

Sun Yi asked the senior student who was also doing nothing in a low voice.

"Brother Hu, who was the person Li Shen went to find?"

"Oh, that guy is a big shot who published a paper at CVPR as the first author under an undergraduate degree. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll be going to Caltech for further studies next year."

"I don't need to explain the value of this to you, do I?"

Although he was a student at Yuanpei College, Sun Yi had already decided on his career path early on. When he was streamed in his second year, he was going to the School of Information Science and Technology, and entering the Turing Class was his ultimate goal.

He certainly knew the prestige of CVPR, but he never expected to know such a big shot.

Sun Yi gave Lan Ce a look of adoration, like a bootlicker.

Lan Ce felt a chill run down his spine; he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Blue God, where did you get this laptop? Aren't we not allowed to connect external devices?"

Lan Ce looked in the direction of the sound and saw the figure that was giving him a headache.

"Oh, it's Xiao Li. You can pick up your notebook from the event organizers. Is there anything else? If not, I'm busy."

Lan Ce adopted a look that indicated he was not interested in receiving guests.

"Oh, I see. Thank you for reminding me, Blue God. You're busy, Blue God."

Seeing this plague god return to his team, Lan Ce finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that he discriminates against others, it's just that whenever he writes code with Xiao Li, they can never get it working on the first try, and there's always some kind of error.

This phenomenon occurs no matter how simple the algorithm is. It has nothing to do with Xiao Li's skill level; it's purely a problem with the magnetic field around the person.

He may not yet realize that he might not be very suited for this line of work.

Hopefully, our code hasn't been affected by him or tainted by bad luck.

Although it's the answering area, teams can still chat and move around, which is within the scope permitted by the competition rules.

There are no restrictions on the topics of conversation; you can even help other teams with coding guidance if you wish.

Of course, you can't do it yourself, and nobody would do it that way.

The competition format was designed not only to test algorithms, but for the participants, algorithms are just the most basic entry ticket.

By connecting the laptop to the offline computing cluster, Lance skillfully invoked the given queue dataset, and the program started running automatically without any bugs appearing.

Thankfully, I wasn't affected by bad luck.

The rest is to let it process the data on its own, which will take some time. He needs to try to help Wei Linfeng build the model architecture before the data processing is complete, so that the model can be trained as soon as the data is available.

"How's it going? Is the data processing progressing smoothly?"

Lan Ce gave Wei Linfeng an OK sign.

"There will be absolutely no problem if I personally take charge."

"Okay, you should know about the temporal fusion network architecture, right? Look at the code yourself. I'm going out to rest for a bit and help out Wang Dong and the other guy."

Although it was their first time teaming up for a competition, Lan Ce and Wei Linfeng surprisingly showed great chemistry.

After Wei Linfeng left, Lan Ce simply browsed through the code framework left by Wei Linfeng and knew how to proceed from there.

On the other side, Wei Linfeng left the answer area and went straight to the small library without resting.

Even though he had been coding for more than four hours straight, he decided to go and check on Wang Dong and the others first.

To his surprise, the small library was almost empty.

It was completely different from the scene of crowds he had imagined.

"What's going on? Why is nobody here?"

"They probably all plan to do clinical compliance verification at the very end."

Wang Dong peeked his head out from a pile of books.

"But judging from the current situation, this is not an easy task."

"They may not be able to finish it."

In fact, it's not a possibility, it's a certainty.

Even Wang Dong, who possesses [Memory: 0.2], can basically remember everything after only seeing it once.

But for him, the initial research alone would take a long time.

Not to mention others.

"However, we should have no problem finishing before the scheduled time."

"My junior has an amazing memory; he's already read through a lot of materials."

Su Yuran made no attempt to hide her praise for Wang Dong.

"Since that's the case, let me tell you about the code framework that's already completed. Think about how you'd like to explain the design..."

Su Yuran felt that Wei Linfeng was speaking in a heavenly book.

However, Wang Dong listened with great interest. As expected of a senior student, his design ideas for the algorithm architecture were clear.
