Chapter 233 Lao Mei is so happy, OJ rankings (4k)
"Here is the list of the top 50 students in our ACM Club OJ rankings from freshman to junior year in our Academy of Information Science and Technology. The basic information is here. You can take your pick."
Mei Hong smiled warmly, holding a stack of information files and looking at Xu Qingshan.
"I want to bring my girlfriend with me."
Xu Qingshan first gave Mei Hong a vaccination in advance.
"I know, I know, Lao Chen said, isn't there still a quota?"
Mei Hong continued to smile.
Can he, Lao Mei, be unhappy?
Xu Qingshan!
What an easy-to-use little thing. You can insert it wherever you need it, fully automatically, so you don’t have to worry.
Look at the people in several courtyards already having their bowls filled with food.
It is said that the "Annual Review of Mathematics" has responded to the offer. Except for the school leaders mentioning it during the freshmen ceremony, there has been no news recently. It is not that the idiots in the Mathematical School have lowered their profile, but that they are holding back a big deal.
They Academy of Information Science and Technology are also greedy!
Especially Lao Mei, who personally went to Longjiang to rob people.
Although Xu Qingshan also participated in ICML and published his paper at the conference, even though it was in the field of machine learning, it was still regarded as a mathematical achievement.
The main reason was that Chen Dayue was too much of a thief at that time and went through the results reporting procedures in advance.
By the time Mei Hong knew that Xu Qingshan had gone to Canada, all the procedures were completed.
This year, the high-end academic indicators of each college, Mathematics College, relying on Xu Qingshan, have achieved at least one-fifth, then the "Annual Review of Mathematics" and ICML can cover many articles!
Fortunately, if Xu Qingshan is willing to participate in ICPC, their Academy of Information Science and Technology will also be able to enjoy the soup.
Even if ICPC wins a gold medal, it is completely incomparable with an article in the "Annals of Mathematics".
But if he could break the long-standing achievement bottleneck at Peking University, then he would be honored as the dean.
As for whether Xu Qingshan has that ability?
This is completely out of Mei Hong's consideration.
"Oh? What's going on with this poplar tree?"
Xu Qingshan pointed to a boy who was at the top of the list, but whose name was circled with a question mark.
He felt that this person looked familiar, and after thinking about it, he found that he had seen him in the science and technology newspaper in his previous life. He was a well-known KOL in the technology and gaming circles. He joined the "Huawei Genius Youth Program" right after graduating from graduate school, working on AI algorithms and AI chip related research work.
He is also good at circuit design, structural design, software and algorithm development, hand-operated cyber robots, etc., and is good at both theory and practice.
If we say this person's biggest shortcoming, it should be that he is relatively introverted and autistic, and does not like to communicate with others. When he concentrates on research and work, he will be so focused that he forgets everything.
Perhaps it is this kind of personality that helps him take a step closer to the top.
"He."
Mei Hong smiled awkwardly but politely.
"He is not easy to communicate with. When he was forming a mathematical modeling team before, he broke down with his teammates before they even started training. Listening to the feedback from the students, he is very insistent on his own opinions. Although he has strong execution ability, if there is a disagreement, He can't listen to other people's opinions at all unless..."
"Unless what?"
Xu Qingshan thought.
"Unless the other party can convince him."
Xu Qingshan couldn't help but move his fingers.
Hey, what a cliche plot.
Do all arrogant geniuses develop this way? However, it seems that there are only a few people like Yang Shu in Beijing University, Huaqing University, and more people are able to participate in discussions and studies.
"Maybe if it were you."
Mei Hong glanced at Xu Qingshan and continued.
"After all, he is not as good as you in terms of academic strength, and he is not as good as you in the field of AI-related and machine learning that he is currently doing in the laboratory."
Mei Hong started to think and compare seriously.
"If he has any advantage, it should be that his procedural skills are much better than yours."
"In that case, you two are a good match."
Mei Hong's eyes lit up.
"I was debating whether to keep him for you to choose from or not. His OJ ranked eighth. This is because he didn't finish all the questions."
Xu Qingshan asked curiously.
"Teacher Mei, what's going on with this OJ ranking?"
Mei Hong suddenly realized.
"I have forgotten that no one introduced you to these basic things in Yuanpei."
"OJ refers to OnlineJudge. We are an online evaluation system for online programming competitions. It is mainly used for repeated submission and testing of program codes. Normally, every school will have its own OJ platform for students, and new ones will be updated from time to time. question bank, and then let students practice on their own.”
"In terms of rankings, the more students who have registered and logged in to OJ solved more problems, the higher they will be ranked. If the number of solved problems is the same, the person who took the least time will be ranked first."
"This kind of rules is actually not much different from the ICPC you will participate in later. It's just that the rules of ICPC will be richer and more diverse."
Mei Hong said it simply, and Xu Qingshan understood.
Isn't this just like the kind of battle arena when playing games?
"Then this Yang Shu is the person who ranks first in solving problems?"
Xu Qingshan pointed to the numbers on the information.
"It's like this. The main reason is that he seems to be looking for a state to prepare for the first place. In the recent question bank competition, the first place is a doctoral student from our School of Information Science and Technology, named Chen Fangping, Lao Gao's protégé."
“Are PhDs and undergraduates both compared together?”
Xu Qingshan was stunned for a moment.
Aside from himself, he did not expect that Beijing University would allow undergraduates and graduate students to compete equally in these competitions.
"Look down on our undergraduate students?"
Mei Hong smiled and patted Xu Qingshan on the shoulder.
"Although Aoyama, you are indeed a bit awesome, but don't underestimate other undergraduates."
Although he said this, Mei Hong's tone was still very friendly and he did not mean to reprimand Xu Qingshan.
"After all, they are all top scorers in college entrance examinations and gold medals in competitions from each province. Plus, we old guys are not vegetarians. Isn't it strange that there are some talented students?"
"The reason why Xu Chenyang and his friends were called the golden generation back then and were welcomed by so many top universities with both hands and feet when they went abroad was because their academic quality and research talent were so strong at the undergraduate level."
"I did not mean that."
Xu Qingshan explained with a smile.
"I just think the pressure at Beijing University might be greater than I thought."
"Maybe, but it's easy for you."
Mei Hong shrugged, unable to comment.
"Just him."
Xu Qingshan thought about it and finalized it.
"I'll go talk to him in a few days."
"How many days will it take? Registration will close soon."
Mei Hong took a notice from the side, which was posted by the Academy of Information Science and Technology.
"The competition will be held on September 20th. Today is the 18th. Registration is due at 12 noon tomorrow."
Mei Hong said with a frown.
"If you really want to talk to him, I have no objection. I have prepared candidates for you to replace him, but you have to be mentally prepared. The people who can temporarily replace you have limited strength. I would recommend you to join OJ Let’s talk to the other two undergraduates in the top ten.”
"It's okay, Teacher Mei, I'll try."
Xu Qingshan smiled and shook his head.
"It's him."
"Okay, this is his contact information. Normally, if there is nothing else to do, except for class, he is in the AI algorithm laboratory of our Academy of Information Science and Technology."
"Thank you, Teacher Mei."
"Then I'll take you there now." Mei Hong simply cleared the table and prepared to take Xu Qingshan over to find Yang Shu.
Xu Qingshan did not refuse.
The two of them left the office and passed two buildings before arriving at the computer room of the AI algorithm laboratory. Mei Hong remembered it clearly.
"Poplar? Poplar?"
Entering the algorithm laboratory, at this time in the evening, normally everyone else would have gone back.
Computer-related laboratories are different from chemistry and biology experiments. In fact, more people use their own computers to complete some work in their dormitories or other places, and really stay in the laboratory all day. Not many.
The lights in the laboratory were on at this time, but no one could be seen.
Xu Qingshan frowned, isn't he here?
"Yang Shu! Come out, I want to see you if I need anything."
Mei Hong shouted at the top of his lungs.
As he shouted, he turned off the lights in the laboratory and started to look at where the lights were on in the laboratory.
It wasn't until he confirmed that there was a faint light coming out of an inconspicuous corner that Mei Hong turned on the light again.
This surprised Xu Qingshan. Why did he feel that Dean Mei was so skillful in doing this?
When the light is turned on again.
Xu Qingshan saw a boy slowly crawling to his feet from the corner.
He had been hiding behind the desk just now, wearing headphones, so no wonder he couldn't see anyone.
"Oh, it's like this again, let's go, let's go."
Mei Hong shook his head helplessly and looked at the boy who was a little helpless and stood there not knowing what he was doing.
"Yang Shu, what are you doing again?"
"."
Yang Shu pointed to the circuit board on the ground.
"Didn't you tell me not to solder circuit boards in the laboratory? Have you forgotten the laboratory safety rules again? Do you want to be banned from the laboratory access card again?"
"without"
Yang Shu waved his hands anxiously and explained.
"Look, it's not welded."
Xu Qingshan watched from the side.
Is this the real sociophobic and autistic patient?
"Come, let me introduce you to Xu Qingshan."
Mei Hong nodded, and then motioned Xu Qingshan to come over and introduce him to Yang Shu.
Yang Shu looked at Xu Qingshan and said nothing.
"Hello, Senior Yang Shu, nice to meet you."
But Xu Qingshan's stretched out hand received no response, and Mei Hong rolled his eyes angrily.
Yang Shu is a sophomore and Xu Qingshan is a freshman. There is nothing wrong with calling the seniors.
"I'm not a senior."
But Yang Shu shook his head.
"Is something wrong? Nothing, I have to be busy."
Although the dean was standing next to him, Yang Shu still said with a straight face.
"you"
Mei Hong was about to speak, but was blocked by Xu Qingshan.
"That's it. I'm going to participate in the ACM International Programming Competition, and I'd like you to be my teammate, okay?"
After getting in touch with Xu Qingshan, he felt that Yang Shu was actually the legendary academic master with no emotional intelligence but a high IQ.
In fact, the EQ and IQ of most top academics complement each other. Generally speaking, those with high IQ will not have low EQ.
If he shows no emotional intelligence in front of you, it is most likely because in his cognitive judgment, you are not qualified for him to treat you with emotional intelligence. He only needs to pursue his own satisfaction.
"don't want."
Yang Shu didn't hesitate and shook his head.
"Don't you dare? OK, then I'll go find Li Xiudao. He's ranked third and should be better than you."
Xu Qingshan said with a smile, his tone a bit mocking.
This made Mei Hong blink at the side. Didn't he say he wanted him? Why did he turn around and ask for Li Xiudao? This is not a big problem, but Li Xiudao has been busy with a project recently. To persuade him to participate, he needs to make some arrangements as the dean.
Yang Shu, who originally planned to turn around and sit back down, turned around again, stared at Xu Qingshan, and spoke word by word.
"He's not as strong as me."
"But he ranks third and you rank eighth."
Xu Qingshan said lightly.
"That's because I haven't done it yet."
Yang Shu said dryly.
"How can you prove what you haven't done? I haven't done OJ's questions yet. I said that if I did it, I would be in the top ten all at once. Do you believe it?"
"If you don't believe me, I don't know you."
Yang Shu shook his head and continued.
"If I did it, I would be first. I just don't bother to do it."
If someone else said this, they might be trying to save face.
But when Yang Shu said it, Xu Qingshan actually believed it. This guy didn't seem to care much about face issues, but he cared about objective existence.
"Then let's make a bet. If my OJ ranking is higher than yours before noon tomorrow, you will join my team."
Xu Qingshan said.
Yang Shu was silent for a moment and nodded.
"good."
Yang Shu currently ranks eighth on the OJ platform, with a total answering time of 7 hours.
Even if Xu Qingshan tried his best, it would be difficult for him to answer so many questions in 7 hours at once.
To know.
The human brain is not a computer. It cannot operate at high intensity for many hours, and it must be as error-free as possible and answer successfully in one go.
Because it is on the OJ platform.
If the answer is not passed, there will be a time penalty.
Just like the 7 hours of Yangshu's total answering time, it refers to the sum of the time to pass all questions, and the penalty time for each failed submission is also added. The failed submission of the Beijing University OJ will accumulate an additional 10 hours. minute penalty.
In other words, assuming that Xu Qingshan submitted 40 failed answers to the first question, he would have basically sent it.
Because on some OJ platforms, the penalty time for failing is only calculated once, but the penalty time for Beijing University's question bank this time is calculated on a per-time basis.
This makes the challenge mentioned by Xu Qingshan even more difficult.
Even for Yang Shu himself, the 7 hours of answering took a whole week to complete.
If Xu Qingshan really succeeds, then Yang Shu feels that he has no reason to refuse.
"Okay, it's settled then, Teacher Mei, let's go and come over tomorrow to get him to register."
Xu Qingshan smiled.
Only when the two of them left the laboratory did Mei Hong react.
"Qingshan, you haven't tried the questions on the OJ platform yet, have you? Is this what we agreed on?"
There is one more update. I will start closing the chapter tomorrow night. I will start to stabilize my schedule in the past few days and fix the stable update time.
