Chapter 180: Can't be? You actually don't understand?_3
...
When Qiao Ze entered the prepared lecture hall, Classroom A304 quickly fell silent.
Originally, there was supposed to be a host to speak a few words first, to introduce the main speaker, but after communicating with Qiao Ze, they decided against it.
On one hand, Qiao Ze felt there wasn't much to introduce about himself.
On the other hand, for Huaqing, there didn't seem to be much to introduce either.
One had to consider the feelings of the more than twenty professors sitting below.
This is the frightening aspect of being young and inexperienced.
Imagine, the host stands on stage and says, "Welcome to today's main speaker, Qiao Ze, a sophomore from the basic class of the School of Mathematics and Statistics at Xilin University of Technology"... It gives people a very special feeling.
Better not to introduce at all.
So they simply complied with Qiao Ze's wish and let him walk quietly onto the stage alone.
Yao Yuanzhi and Zhang Hongcai immediately took their seats in the positions that had been reserved for them early on.
...
Qiao Ze walked to the center of the podium, his gaze sweeping over the audience.
Before he could speak, when his eyes landed on Su Mucheng, the girl had already excitedly raised her hand and started clapping. As the monotonous clapping sounded, many in the classroom quickly followed suit, and the next moment, sporadic applause began, spreading throughout the entire classroom.
It gradually subsided half a minute later.
Because on stage, Qiao Ze had already started the prepared PowerPoint presentation, and behind him, next to the blackboard, the screen displayed today's seminar topic: "Exploration of Artificial Intelligence's Underlying Mathematical Structure and Group Theory's Framework in Decoupling Causal Relationships".
"I am Qiao Ze, and I believe you have all read my paper published in the 'Duke Mathematical Journal', and have understood the mathematical ideas of the Group Theory framework, so I had Dou Dou prepare this PPT. The main content is to delve into the mathematical analysis of decoupling characteristics from the perspective of Group Theory," said Qiao Ze.
With his first words, many students in the back of the room fell into a daze.
Clearly, this was a very special seminar since Qiao Ze truly let these prodigies experience what it feels like when a teacher assumes they understand.
As Su Mucheng had previously told Qiao Ze, those young people chosen by Huaqing and Yanbei were likely the most intelligent of their generation.
At the very least, during their middle and high school stages, these individuals had certainly been the apple of their teachers' eyes.
When the teacher thought they understood something, these kids definitely understood, and some of them might even understand more and grasp concepts more deeply than their teachers.
These prodigies never understood what it felt like when their teachers thought they got it, but in reality, they didn't.
Today, these kids finally experienced it.
What made it more depressing was that the main speaker on the stage was about the same age as many of them, or perhaps even one or two years younger.
Moreover, this was not the first time they had attended such seminars organized by the school.
In fact, both Huaqing and Yanbei hosted numerous similar seminars every month, often inviting renowned national and international professors and experts to share the world's cutting-edge scientific research with their students and faculty.
Obviously, Qiao Ze's style was likely different from other professors. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
Perhaps due to his youth?
In fact, when the second image appeared, this feeling became even stronger.
There were no words, only a line of complex mathematical formulas.
"minφ∑P∈p2∑k=1{L(φ,θ=1,k,p) + γ1‖▽θ=1L(φ,θ)‖^2}..."
"This is a key formula for decoupling from a causal perspective, and I believe if you see this formula, you will understand the rationale behind this theory. The first part can be mathematically interpreted as a fixed grouping, while the latter represents the semantic extraction process. Now look at this formula..."
"P*=arg p max∑(2,k=1){L(φ,θ)}..."
Professors and classmates beneath the stage stared blankly at Qiao Ze's explanation, as formulas swiftly switched on the projector, and Qiao Ze's unremarkable voice continued to ring in everyone's ears...
"You can see this step is crucial because it involves visualizing the entire feature dimension, and as proven, IP-IRM yields semantically different dimensions..."
The classroom was silent except for Qiao Ze's voice echoing inside.
Su Mucheng looked up at Qiao Ze with admiration, thoroughly engrossed. Even though she didn't understand, the formulas were incomprehensible, and the explanations went over her head. This wasn't just about not dropping a pen anymore; these abstract mathematical concepts were of a completely different dimension from what she had studied.
But she just loved watching Qiao Ze command the podium with such charisma... It was so cool.
Yu Chenggong, beside her, was zoning out. //
Although his eyes were focused on Qiao Ze's lecture, his mind had long since drifted away. Whether the lecture was good or not, Yu Chenggong didn't know. He was just there to show support. After all, what business does a director of an admissions office have understanding these things?
Perhaps the only one from Xilin University of Technology who felt something was amiss was Li Jiangao.
He felt that Qiao Ze might still misunderstand the nature of today's seminar.
Or maybe Qiao Ze had set his expectations too high for the main audience of today's talk.
This really fell on him.
He had shown concern for the content of Qiao Ze's presentations before, but when Qiao Ze assured him, having studied others' lectures and knowing what to discuss, Li Jiangao was relieved and did not inquire further.
