Qiao Yu could see that Professor Tao Xuanzhi was very active in the mathematics world; last year, he even tead up with over sixty mathematicians to co up with questions and launched a mathematics benchmark called FrontierMath to test AI’s mathematical abilities.
Simply put, FrontierMath is an original question bank, containing hundreds of challenging math problems covering major branches of modern mathematics, such as Number Theory, Real Analysis, Algebraic Geotry, and Category Theory.
Then the most advanced AI attempts to solve these problems in the question bank...
Seeing this, Qiao Yu suddenly realized that Yu Wei suddenly wanting to work on AI indeed showed so foresight.
Peter Schultz is involved in AI mathematics research with Microsoft, transforming mathematical theorems into things AI can understand, while this Professor Tao Xuanzhi is working on AI mathematics test benchmark question banks.
After roughly understanding the backgrounds of these bigwigs, Qiao Yu casually logged onto arXiv and downloaded the paper "New Progress in Large Value Estimates of Dirichlet Polynomials" which Professor Zhang had recomnded onto his computer.
The latest paper from a Fields dalist is definitely worth a look, especially since it’s about pri numbers, a field these Fields dalists are paying attention to.
To be honest, Qiao Yu is quite afraid that soone might solve the Twin Pri Conjecture and the Riemann Conjecture before him.
The forr is one thing, but the latter is related to a $1.5 million prize.
At least for Qiao Yu now, he’s definitely interested in that $1.5 million. Converted to RMB, it’s tens of millions, not only given by Aricans but also tax-free.
After all, mathematicians would do anything to get the Fields dal prize, which is only about 15,000 CAD, less than 60,000 RMB.
Not to ntion the Nobel Prize with its 11 million Swedish Krona prize, or the $1 million Turing Award, it’s not even on par with the Wolf Prize.
The Wolf Prize has at least $100,000!
This is probably the biggest dissatisfaction Qiao Yu has with the Fields dal.
However, after downloading the paper, Qiao Yu thought for a mont, didn’t read the paper, but directly captured a screenshot of Zhang Yuantang’s email, opened the WeChat group, sent it, and tagged everyone.
"Comrades fighting for the sa goal, please take so ti to read this email, Fields dal mathematicians want to cooperate with us, but I don’t intend to collaborate with them.
Because I believe more in our ability to complete this project independently! So let’s all work hard together! If we can achieve this result, even Fields dal big shots will be envious!
Comrades, please reply if you receive this!"
As the initiator of this project, Qiao Yu felt that it was necessary to occasionally pump everyone up. This way, he could urge everyone to complete their tasks quickly.
Although in the group, one was a professor who had given him many suggestions, even discovering him, one was his senior, and another was his mom.
Qiao Yu always believed that as long as he wasn’t embarrassed, it was others who would be embarrassed.
It seed to be true.
Because although the ssage was sent out, tagging everyone, half a day went by without any replies.
...
In the office, Xue Song was assigning tasks to his PhD students. Because he just arrived at Yanbei University, he hadn’t been allocated recruiting slots this year, but the PhD students from Yujiang University had all followed him.
Feeling his phone vibrate twice, Xue Song casually picked it up and glanced at it, instantly not knowing what to say.
Throughout his academic career, Xue Song had served as a project leader and had also worked with others on projects.
So this kind of motivational style from Qiao Yu felt both familiar and foreign to him.
Typically, when collaborating with professors, people wouldn’t do this. It was more common for ntors to occasionally encourage everyone in this way.
Especially the phrase "comrades fighting for the sa goal," which made Xue Song find it hard to comnt.
But on the other hand, the fact that even Tao Xuanzhi is interested in this project indeed made Xue Song feel quite excited.
But what could he reply? Just replying "received" seed to lose face, so he simply pretended he hadn’t seen it and put down his phone.
He redirected his focus back to his student.
"Junfei, work on this project diligently. To get a diploma from Yanbei University, the requirents will be stricter. Qiao Yu’s project is a great breakthrough point. Complete the validation work quickly and submit it to ."
"Okay, boss."
...
Huaqing, Qiuzhai.
Qiao Xi glanced at the ssage Qiao Yu sent and thought for a mont before asking her ntor next to her.
"Teacher Yuan, is Professor Tao Xuanzhi well-known?"
"Hmm? Why did you suddenly bring him up?"
Qiao Xi handed her phone to the ntor beside her.
Elder Yuan glanced at it and laughed: "Haha, Xuanzhi does have a good eye."
Then explained to Qiao Xi: "Xuanzhi is one of the erging leaders in mathematics. But you don’t need to worry about that, let that guy work things out, your task is to focus on building a solid foundation."
"Okay, teacher."
So Qiao Xi also casually tossed her phone aside.
This kid... using the term comrades again, probably wants soone to help him relax a bit.
...
While in a eting, Chen Zhuoyang felt his phone vibrate, sneaked a look at it, and quickly browsed the email screenshot from Qiao Yu. He felt a lot of emotions.
After reading the words Qiao Yu posted, he was indeed planning to reply with a "received."
After all, compared to Xue Song and Qiao Xi, he truly didn’t feel that replying with a "received" was inappropriate.
But just as he was about to tap on his phone’s keyboard, he heard soone call his na.
"Chen Zhuoyang, why don’t you start by talking about it..."
Unlucky...
