A squirrel's dream trip

Author: Sun days full of Aeronautics and Astronautics

Seven years ago, I met with Microsoft Research Asia magazine.

I imagine that the Bill · Gates appreciated dream factory, decided one day to go in there. On the I at the junior high school, it was a distant dream. But the Scriptures say, seven-step health Lotus. So after seven years, I walked out of the subway station, YuanWang Sigma building on the line "Microsoft". It is no longer the magazine illustration, it seven years there silently waiting for me. I tell myself seven years ago: Hey, your wishes fulfilled!

August 3, jiaoyangsihuo.

I just went to the top of the time, the hottest computer lab in the world, like stealing the fire of Prometheus, want to steal a little fire and combustion for learning and scientific research. MSRA has many natural language computing research results, and these studies are based on statistical learning methods. I is a relatively strong neural activist, statistical methods are not supported. In this way with a different point of view, I have got the song MSRA Ge ping teacher, Lin Yu Zhang Cheng, a teacher and teacher's Guide. Three teachers hospitable help let me feel the eclectic mix of science. And Mr. Zhang, Lin, exactly corresponds to a famous saying of upper and lower lines: Wikipedia, intercourse; recorded shenjin, not just to you. While the song is a teacher of practical examples, showed me the power of statistical methods.

View differences in theory are not uncommon, it is important that we are faced with divergent attitudes.

I dedicate the beginners like me, to share my inspiration in Microsoft Research Asia. Wikipedia has a large,

With these words summarize the best teacher Zhang Zheng.

A into his Office, Mr. Zhang first asked about my current research interest. Patience after listening to my relationship to the natural language for neural models, he also made a number of more specific questions. Although Zhang not of natural language processing, but he must listen to them, I strongly Connectionist AI and single. He said that, of course, for neural method can learn, but it is not necessary because the support to the exclusion of other models. Each model has its reference value. Then we also talked about his research MarvinMinsky itself to Wikipedia: the father of a neural network, Connectionist leader, Minsky made late in the academic career intelligence is not the product of a single mechanism, but rather the interaction of different policy sections, and all architectures. He believes that diversity is essential. The reason is simple, but I didn't do it. Because of the very few base is not strong, my point of view of one-sided, I on neural model of fanatic, I'm afraid I have to be crazy SydneyLamb. Lin Chin Woo teachers in the message told me that the extreme can make you in-depth, but the mind is broad, and can make you sound and inclusion. Yes, this is the scientific workers should have the mind. Have their own beliefs, at various points of acceptance, understanding. So, will there be a new breakthrough.

The sea accepts hundred River, intercourse, is called also.

Is recorded in the shenjin desire you have just

No wish to you just for being an road, in scientific research, seems to be inappropriate.

But with Lin Yu teacher talk, I feel a scientist "desire" 19: 30 (sat.) Lin said that financial trends, some say, some say, finally, that it was a success. For you, you want your own success, but for financial trends, you succeeded or his success and non-harmful. I realized: statistical and nerves are two different models, which support which, for me it is a problem, but for the entire scientific terms, this is not a problem. All of their exploration, which is to win or lose, is for scientific progress. As regards the success belongs to who, the personnel is drifting, but random. I admire the forest in the teacher's perspective. Share this idea needs melding the life, the need for broad minded. As a scientist, who do not want your is the winner. And Lin station throughout the scientific position up defining "successful", the realm, the mountains have been so at a glance. Not relate to the school, bar road inclusive, researchers simply battling, only vanity and desire only% burden. At school, my teacher Liu Shao-Hon also often borrow the words of the Buddhist scriptures teach me not to "false ego", don't be flowers and grass cover world big Chin. From such a height overlooking I deal with different models of attitude, tough, but weak.

Addicts always just for himself.

Recorded shenjin no desire and just.

Open the first class perspective

In a volume and no desire for inspiration, I experienced an intense introspection.

On neural model of superstition, not only did not make my research acceleration, hindered its front line of the road. In the multivariate MSRA open environment, I finally realized his self-contentment narrow. In the song ge ping teacher's Office, he used his research results as I went to open the first class view. This is what I have seen the best of TTS (text-to-speech synthesis), let me personally aware of their disdain for the "out of the natural mechanism of things", but it's so powerful. It was a figure like "M & M chocolate" little head, fluency, and reading the text could read more rhythmic patterns, read and even the yin and Yang. It can mouth different dialects, in line with the lips movements, give it a midi music, it can even treatedto, Bel Canto of the vibrato. If this technology can work with text and answer technology, through animation and voice for input and output, you can achieve the Loebner's Turing test mostHigh standard. Song teacher added that if the neural model results into statisticallearning model, it can reduce the demand for training data, you can further improve learning performance. When I suddenly realized, MSRA every teacher to convey to me was the same idea: diverse sources.

MSRA day, heavy harvest.

But to the world's highest density IQ, I only see it. Out of the building, I look back, it still stood there in silence. But no longer out of reach. I would like to someday, I will come here again, and then in his luggage have been no longer empty, but is full of knowledge and power.
