Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 264: Liu Gong’s Appreciation

"Dr. Zhao, Liu Gong is a PhD graduate from MIT. I really went to great lengths to get him to stay with the company."

Wang Yaoqing said proudly. Although education isn’t everything, a PhD from MIT, one of the world’s renowned universities, is of significant value. Being able to hire a computer science PhD from MIT demonstrates his high aspirations for the company.

"My apologies for not realizing earlier."

Hearing this from Wang Yaoqing, Zhao Heng imdiately looked at the balding engineer in front of him with newfound respect. This was truly soone who kept their talents hidden.

Having an MIT computer science PhD as the chief programming developnt engineer also showed that Wang Yaoqing had more foresight than Zhao Heng initially thought.

Speaking of software developnt in the country, the ecosystem has never been particularly good. Many software developnt companies primarily focus on developing purely English software for overseas markets. This is mainly because dostic software cracking teams are too formidable.

However, for highly specialized software like dical software, hospitals generally do not use pirated versions. After all, this software is used for patients and is a matter of life and death. Using pirated software ans lacking many core data and functions.

This is why Wang Yaoqing values the collaboration with Zhao Heng so much.

"I’m wondering, Dr. Zhao, what kind of frawork do you use for data collection?"

Liu Gong asked a very professional question. He wanted to assess Zhao Heng’s programming skills to determine the level of collaboration and communication required in future software developnt work with Zhao Heng.

After all, as the boss Wang Yaoqing ntioned before, Zhao Heng is just a doctor and not a professional in programming and software developnt.

"Liu Gong, I use CNN for feature extraction."

Zhao Heng replied. Although his level in software developnt and programming isn’t as high as his dical expertise, by assimilating the skills and experiences of almost all the hospital’s dical equipnt engineers, his software developnt and programming skills are no less than ordinary software engineers.

Not to ntion, working at a big corporation as a regular programr doesn’t seem to be a problem for Zhao Heng.

"CNN feature extraction utilizes convolutional kernels, which are suitable for fully connected neural networks but not quite for types such as logistics. If it’s for image data extraction, radiomics imaging feature extraction could be used."

Liu Gong pondered for a mont and said.

Upon hearing this from Zhao Heng, Liu Gong’s eyes lit up. From just this, he knew Zhao Heng was knowledgeable.

And based on what Wang Yaoqing previously ntioned, Dr. Zhao is also an outstanding doctor in his primary profession. It’s no wonder the boss, Wang Yaoqing, was willing to offer significant terms to collaborate with Zhao Heng.

"Actually, if it’s for clinical use, I think incorporating artificial neural networks, that is, programming a BP artificial neural network, would allow for so level of intelligent judgnt."

After a pause, Liu Gong offered a very professional opinion.

"Yes, actually I had that in mind, but programming artificial neural networks is incredibly challenging. With my current technical skills, it’s still very difficult to write an artificial neural network."

Hearing Liu Gong’s very professional opinion, Zhao Heng also realized that Liu Gong’s level was indeed impressive. Incorporating artificial neural networks in the software being developed could allow for partial disease diagnosis, significantly expanding the software’s functionality and application scope.

"Dr. Zhao is a professional doctor, and to have reached this level of programming proficiency, spanning across disciplines and self-learning to this extent, is truly remarkable."

Liu Gong didn’t hold back on complinting Zhao Heng.

dicine and computer programming are among the most difficult disciplines in the natural sciences to grasp, with mastery even more challenging.

The fact that Zhao Heng could cross the boundaries between dicine and computer programming and achieve in both fields at a young age was astonishing to Liu Gong, an MIT graduate.

Even at MIT, geniuses who could bridge both dicine and programming and achieve success in both were rare.

Seeing the pleasant exchange between Zhao Heng and Liu Gong, a smile appeared at the corner of Wang Yaoqing’s mouth. Both of them would be the driving force behind software developnt in the future, and both could be considered geniuses. The fact that they could get along so well dispelled Wang Yaoqing’s slightest worries.

"Actually, I have an even better idea, but with the current technical level, it’s very difficult to realize."

Zhao Heng thought for a mont and said, in terms of developing an anesthesia assistant, the difficulty in software developnt isn’t too high. The challenge lies in having soone proficient in both dicine and software developnt to establish various drug and disease data models, then create a database to analyze patient data in real-ti, draw results, and provide alerts and assistance to anesthesiologists for clinical anesthesia.

"Oh? Dr. Zhao has an even better idea?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Gong couldn’t help but express his interest.

Even Wang Yaoqing displayed a very interested expression. Although the developnt of the anesthesia assistant software would take at least half a year to see initial results, there was no harm in listening to Zhao Heng’s ideas.

After all, the ideas of geniuses are often unorthodox, and even if they can’t be realized now, listening to them could still be beneficial.

"Actually, I believe that artificial intelligence, or AI, can have very broad applications in the dical field."

Zhao Heng said.

"AI applications in the dical field? Dr. Zhao, could you elaborate?"

Liu Gong showed keen interest just listening to this.

Since it’s about developing dical software, the boss, Wang Yaoqing, had briefed him on dical software applications, prompting him to learn more about it.

"Firstly, artificial intelligence can be applied in protein structure analysis. Just this year, DeepMind released a new version of the AlphaFold software. Based on AI technology, AlphaFold can efficiently predict specified structures, which will have a significant impact on the future of dicine."

"Secondly, AI can accelerate the research and developnt of vaccines and drugs. For viruses with sudden mutations that require rapid vaccine research, AI can analyze the effects of drugs on viruses during the vaccine developnt process, thus speeding up the assessnt of vaccine efficacy and expediting vaccine developnt."

Zhao Heng spoke eloquently, clearly indicating that he had been paying attention to and understanding these fields.

Liu Gong and Wang Yaoqing were both engrossed in listening.
