Chapter 172 Now, here, apologize to me (33) Please vote for me~
I was eighteen years old, and I stood like a slave.
Xu Qingshan looked at the fully decorated venue. Many elderly scholars were already chatting in small groups in the venue.
According to the arrangements of the organizing committee.
July 14th is a day for scholars from all walks of life to report and settle in.
In the evening, after all invited scholars have arrived, a welcome dinner will be held in the venue.
For example, Xu Qingshan arrived in Ottawa at noon and in Montreal in the afternoon. After leaving his luggage at the hotel and chatting with people, he could attend the welcome dinner in the evening.
Wait until July 15th, which is the first day of official start.
In the morning, there will be a welcome speech from the organizing committee and the organizer. Professor Bengio from the University of Montreal, one of the hosts, will take the stage to give a special report. He will elaborate on the ideas and process of his proposed curriculum learning (Curriculum Learning), and then accept other machines. Ask questions from experts in the field of study.
After the special report in the morning, there will be a free communication session in the group rooms.
Ordinary paper authors like Xu Qingshan can give special reports in the small hall. Scholars who are interested in his paper topics can freely enter and exit his lecture hall to appreciate it and ask questions.
In this free communication session, everyone can freely express their views and different opinions on which topic.
Often the result of a collision in such a gathering of heroes will be more perfect than ordinary people imagine.
July 16th is also a day of free communication.
If there is a scholar who performed very well in the small hall the day before, for example, the number of listeners and the number of feedback reaches a certain level, or there are enough scholars who give strong feedback to the organizer about which scholar's results are interesting.
Then the scholar may be invited to give a special report in the academic hall, which is the hall where full-scale special reports are given.
On July 17, we will gather again in the academic hall.
It's just not easy to bring all the big names in the field of machine learning from around the world into one hall. Naturally, they want to talk about their prospects and ideas for the future of machine learning.
If the discussion is good enough, there may even be a master on the spot who can point out an excellent direction and inspire sparks of inspiration among countless scholars.
It's like giving a general outline.
It is very likely that the mainstream research in the field of machine learning next year will be in this direction.
At the end, someone made a concluding speech and announced the closure of the meeting. A farewell dinner was held in the evening. After everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, they went back to the hotel to take a nap.
When you get up on the 18th, those who should continue to work will continue to work, those who should go home will go home, and those who are willing to stay in Montreal for exchanges will be carried back by professors from the University of Montreal to give lectures in eight sedans.
The specific process is like this.
Don't ask Xu Qingshan why he knows so clearly.
In addition to the invitation letter sent by the meeting party, when entering the venue, there was a plastic sheet wall on the front introducing the process rules of this meeting.
Xu Qingshan doesn't look like a scholar in the traditional sense.
He actually wanted to come here carrying his own mountaineering bag, but before leaving, he was pulled by Chen Dayue to buy a relatively low-key suitcase and a youthful-looking briefcase.
But the problem is
He is wearing short sleeves and shorts, and he doesn’t look like a scholar!
Xu Qingshan observed at the venue that if he had an ICML print on his clothes, it would be no different from how Olivia and the other volunteers dressed.
Xu Qingshan walked into the banquet hall calmly.
It's not as grand as expected, but it's still a five-star hotel and looks like a low-key luxury.
Machine learning can also be considered an emerging field.
The big guys also know each other.
When Xu Qingshan walked into the banquet hall, no waiter stopped him and asked him to wear formal attire, because the banquet had not officially started yet, and only the peripheral areas were open now.
The scholars just stood together shaking hands, greeting, and chatting with each other. Only Xu Qingshan wandered aimlessly.
At most, you will get a second look when you pass by others.
After all, there are still relatively few Asian faces in such top international academic forums, especially such young Asians.
It's just that I can only take a look at it.
Xu Qingshan was labeled as a volunteer at the University of Toronto, a volunteer at the University of Montreal, etc.
Mainly it's still too tender.
The news about the 18-year-old scholar who participated in the conference is still known to only a few people.
More people’s attention is on the big names who are present this year.
Chen Dayue hopes that Xu Qingshan can adapt to the international environment and broaden his horizons here. However, in fact, if he does not take the initiative to seek out people to get to know, basically no one will greet him.
Even
"Waiter."
Xu Qingshan was stopped when he passed by several scholars who looked to be in their forties and were having a heated discussion.
Xu Qingshan looked at the bald scholar in front of him in confusion.
"Can I have a soda? With ice."
After the bald scholar finished speaking, he continued to get involved in the topic that the five scholars were discussing. Looking at his excited expression, it was very intense.
Good guy.
Does this make me a volunteer waiter?
Xu Qingshan shrugged. Xu Qingshan went to the service desk to get two glasses of iced soda water, and walked over while drinking.
The bald man's eyes twitched when he saw Xu Qingshan's behavior, but he still took another glass of soda and drank two sips before continuing.
"I think the in-depth expansion of the Markov logic network research in the structure learning that was added to the supplement is comparable to the structure-preserving embedding."
Xu Qingshan heard his own paper and the name of another article that was considered a candidate for the best paper in this conference. He couldn't help but stop and listen to what these Westerners were saying. "There is nothing wrong with your point of view, Bunch, but I think the logical network you mentioned is a bit too simple in terms of the statistical relationship learning algorithm based on Bayesian networks. That should be a specially divided section for discussion. , but it was mentioned briefly in the paper.”
"Bunch, there is nothing wrong with what Alec said. Moreover, you have to know that ICML ends receiving manuscripts at the beginning of January. The article with structural retention and embedding was finalized in November last year, although it has not been released until now. Full text, but it is difficult to tell whether the author of the logical network referenced the content of the structure-preserving embedding."
"Hey, Bol, this is a very severe academic accusation. As rigorous scholars who pursue peace and romance, we should not make such remarks."
"Sorry."
"I just"
Xu Qingshan stood aside and drank soda water. While listening to these scholars discussing their articles, a strange feeling came over him.
"I would like to ask, which article is structure-preserving embedding?"
Xu Qingshan politely raised his hand that was not holding the cup, leaned half into the small discussion group, and asked curiously.
"You didn't read the edit issued by the organizing committee? Who are you?"
The bald man was about to hand the finished cup to Xu Qingshan, but Xu Qingshan raised his hand and he could only retract it.
On the other side, the tall curly-haired scholar named Boer, who was about to ask Xu Qingshan a question, turned his head, but was startled by Xu Qingshan.
"Hey, young man, it's not polite to eavesdrop and interrupt an academic discussion."
Alec frowned and said.
Everyone in this small circle looked at Xu Qingshan somewhat unkindly.
"Of course, if you are a student preparing to study machine learning, we will be happy to explain the homework for you."
Bol smiled.
It's just that this smile is somewhat contemptuous.
After all, Chinese students in Europe and the United States are mainly synonymous with good children and good students who love to do homework.
"Boll, don't do this."
The bald man said awkwardly.
Although Xu Qingshan had nothing to do with him, he was still a volunteer he had just troubled, and he did not want a young man to be treated like this.
Xu Qingshan still had a polite smile on his face.
But anyone who knows him well knows that when Xu Qingshan smiles and squints his eyes, that's when he becomes a little angry.
At the age of eighteen, I stood like a gangster.
Is this what it feels like?
No.
Xu Qingshan said.
"Mr. Bohr, if your prejudice is as good as your hair, then I think you should be more cautious when expressing opinions on other people's papers behind their backs, otherwise I will ask the organizing committee for you to apologize to me. "
Xu Qingshan opened his narrowed eyes and looked at Curly Bol coldly.
"I mean, I apologize for your hasty accusations that have no basis."
Xu Qingshan is not as tall as the scholar Boll. He is at least 1.9 meters, and with the fluffy curly hair, he looks like he should be 1.94 meters.
But Xu Qingshan has a strong figure, and his aura is different when he raises his head and chest.
Especially when he stared at Bol with a fierce look.
This made the atmosphere a little anxious and tense.
"Sir, I think Bol didn't mean it, and what he said"
"That's what I said."
Xu Qingshan interrupted the bald man who wanted to continue talking.
"Apologise."
Xu Qingshan's emphasis again brought others' thinking back on track.
"May?"
Someone asked in disbelief.
It seems to be confirming Xu Qingshan's identity.
"Gee, no one told me that there are such young authors in the ICML conference proceedings."
Alec muttered.
The bald man Bunch, who had just spoken out to defend Xu Qingshan and wanted to mediate, after clearing his mind, also looked at the handsome Chinese boy in front of him with incredible eyes.
But Xu Qingshan would not let Boer go just because of this.
"Gentlemen, I appreciate your appreciation and discussion of my article."
"but."
Xu Qingshan took a step forward and looked at Boer, who was slightly shrinking his neck.
"Now, here, apologize."
