Algorithm system

He must be related.A dizzying sensation came like an overwhelming tide!

What was called ’mild dizziness’ wasn’t actually very mild. It was roughly equivalent to the state of staying up all night without sleep.

After 10 seconds, the computing power system gave the calculation results.

Lin Yuan quickly typed on the keyboard; he needed to input the results from the computing power system as parameters into the code.

The computing power system wasn’t unable to directly calculate the accuracy of AI model training; it was just that Lin Yuan couldn’t crack open his own head for others to see the results.

Therefore, Lin Yuan could only use the computing power system to calculate a pre-training parameter.

The so-called pre-training parameter was a relatively approximate answer.

If AI model training was viewed as a process of climbing a mountain, then the computing power system, by providing pre-training parameters, helped Lin Yuan reach a position close to the mountain’s summit.

For mountain climbing in the real world, this was obvious cheating.

But in AI model training, this was a result of Lin Yuan’s extensive accumulation of knowledge in his daily life.

Lin Yuan had already thought of his excuse.

Dean Li wasn’t complaining that he didn’t have much to show for his academic career, so he would say: this pre-training parameter was the result of his usual hard work.

”Professor, I’ve already started training.”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he handed the laptop back.

The twenty minutes given to him did not include the AI model training time.

”Okay, have a seat first.” Professor Zhang took the laptop, then looked at the time again. ”I’ll let you train until the end of this interview.”

The longer the training, the more accurate the results. Professor Zhang was very considerate of Lin Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan said, ”A few minutes should be enough.”

He needed to quickly finish the battle here and then find a place to eat.

Under the mild dizziness debuff, Lin Yuan was already gritting his teeth and holding on. Although he knew Professor Zhang was being kind, if he really had to endure until the end of this interview, Lin Yuan was afraid he would reveal his embarrassment.

”A few minutes? Are you sure?”

”Sure.” Lin Yuan responded confidently, ”I usually have a lot of research on OCR recognition, so I have a set of pre-training parameters. Importing and using them directly won’t take too long.”

Professor Zhang immediately checked the training results on the laptop, then slammed the table with force, ”Good!”

”An error rate of less than one percentage point. Although it uses a standard dataset, it’s enough to be among the best.”

”Wait!” Dean Li pressed down the excited Professor Zhang. ”What kind of parameter is this ’pre-something’ that you said was accumulated from your usual work?”

”Pre-training parameter.” Lin Yuan replied.

”I asked you to perform on the spot; why are you using something from your usual work? Isn’t this cheating!”

Lin Yuan said calmly, ”You asked me to perform on the spot because you questioned that I didn’t have much to show for my usual work. Now that I’ve produced this pre-training parameter, you can ask Professor Zhang to search online; there will absolutely not be a second identical parameter. Doesn’t that sufficiently prove my diligence?”

Lin Yuan didn’t follow the script planned by the other party; instead, he pulled the rug out from under them—you said I didn’t have anything to show for myself, so I’ll show you something.

As for why Lin Yuan didn’t say that this parameter was obtained through training just now. Because Professor Zhang would definitely understand; looking at the performance of this parameter, he would know that it was impossible to obtain it in just twenty minutes with an RTX 2060 graphics card.

So, Lin Yuan chose this explanation.

Professor Zhang immediately echoed, ”Old Li, just answer me. If this parameter was indeed created by him on his own, then can’t you give him an 80?”

Getting an 80 in the interview and then a perfect score in the practical, the combined score would be 90. Then Lin Yuan’s admission would be secure.

”How long will it take you to verify its authenticity?”

Professor Zhang waved his hand, ”Don’t get hung up on that. Let’s assume it’s real for now. If it turns out to be fake later, we just won’t admit him. You go ahead and give the score.” Professor Zhang pointed to a blank space on the scoring sheet, almost grabbing Dean Li’s hand to write it himself.

”You score first. According to school regulations, if a candidate is found to have cheated later, their score can be revoked. That’s not against the rules, is it?”

Dean Li hesitated for a while, then said with difficulty, ”Has this pre-training parameter of yours been open-sourced?”

Lin Yuan almost laughed, ”If it were open-sourced, there would be many variant copies online, and then I wouldn’t be able to prove that I completed it independently.”

”But if it hasn’t been open-sourced, then it certainly won’t have a certain level of recognition. Then this... it’s very difficult to handle.”

The situation entered a dead loop.

No open-source means no recognition, while open-source means no way to prove individual independent completion.

Professor Zhang was already furious. *Slam*~, he angrily slammed the table. ”What exactly do you want? Isn’t looking directly at the results clear enough?”

Dean Li was very troubled, ”This result hasn’t been certified by a relevant institution or endorsed by a competition. It lacks credibility when presented.”

Lin Yuan hadn’t expected such a situation. A master of the martial arts had shown off a skill, but was then asked, ”Do you have a ranking on any of the martial arts hero lists?”

Lin Yuan’s head felt even dizzier.

’I got it from on-the-spot training. If I told the truth, it could shut Dean Li up, but how would I get past Professor Zhang?’

Suddenly!!!

A light bulb went off in Lin Yuan’s head. ’Why do I need to get past Professor Zhang?’

”Dean Li, I’m sorry, I just remembered incorrectly. This pre-training parameter was obtained from training on Professor Liu’s laptop right now.”

Professor Zhang stared at Lin Yuan in disbelief, ”You... how could this be...”

Then he seemed to understand something. ”Hahaha~~~, that’s right. It was obtained on the spot. On-the-spot performance, on-the-spot performance. Old Li, now you have nothing to say, do you?”

Dean Li also understood now. ”You, you two are openly lying.”

”Evidence?” Professor Zhang retorted.

”Little Liu, honestly, is it possible for this parameter to be obtained on the spot using your laptop?”

Professor Liu, as a young man, was caught between his mentor and the Dean, in a difficult position. He stammered, ”Logically speaking, no.

But AI training inherently involves an element of ’blind men touching an elephant’.

Theoretically, although the probability is very small, it’s not impossible.

Uh~, people still win big in the lottery, right~?”

Professor Zhang patted Professor Liu’s shoulder approvingly. ”You’re doing well as a senior fellow apprentice.” This meant he already considered Lin Yuan his disciple.

Dean Li then said, ”The probability is too small; you still can’t prove it.”

”Are you kidding?” Professor Zhang retorted, ”Whoever questions, provides the evidence. If anyone has an objection, let them come and disprove it.

Oh, Old Li, I know you’re afraid of making a wrong move for the sake of your position. Don’t worry about this; it’s impossible to disprove from a technical perspective. Just think, who can prove the process of someone winning the lottery? Random events cannot be disproven.”

Dean Li pondered for a long while before slowly speaking, ”You can make this argument sound plausible.”

Finally, Dean Li finally wrote two numbers on the interview scoring sheet—80.

These two numbers were small, but to Lin Yuan, they were huge. Because this was the beginning of his new destiny.

He had just had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of this move.

This explanation provided Dean Li and the others a way out, so they wouldn’t have to bring up school regulations. And the key to success was Professor Zhang’s support.

Professor Zhang naturally didn’t believe it, but he was certainly willing to choose to believe it.

”Lin Yuan, you look a bit pale. Go back and rest quickly. Just wait for the admission notice.” Professor Zhang thought Lin Yuan was exhausted from the series of events; he naturally didn’t know that Lin Yuan was physically drained.

After thanking the professors, Lin Yuan walked out with somewhat unsteady steps.

His successful admission wasn’t met with intense applause; at this moment, he just wanted to eat something quickly.

”Lin Yuan, wait.” A voice called out to him.

Lin Yuan turned around; it was Professor Liu from earlier.

”Hello, Professor Liu!”

”Hey~, call me Senior Fellow Apprentice. Your master saw that you weren’t looking well and asked me to see you off.”

Senior Fellow Apprentice? Lin Yuan cleverly responded, ”Hello, Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu!”

’I made it!’ Lin Yuan, though tired, couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

Outside the classroom, there were still many candidates, some of whom hadn’t left after their interviews.

”Isn’t that the interview examiner from inside? Why is he letting that person call him Senior Fellow Apprentice?”

”Inside job... it’s too dark. I’m going to take a picture.”

”Damn, Zijin Aviation School is so corrupt.”

”I knew he must have connections.”

...

They naturally didn’t dare to say these words in front of Lin Yuan and Professor Liu, but whispered them after the two had left.

Lin Yuan was completely unaware of this.

How did he, a 24K pure commoner, get mistaken for someone with connections?
