Study of taste

Author: Liu Peng

I am a Microsoft Research Asia voice group Liu Peng, working here has more than three years.

This three-year study on this matter, slowly from my work into my hobbies. The success of which, quite worthy of careful taste. Research Institute for nearly 10 years birthday, so I have put together one of the only scales claw, note here to share with you.

For knowledge, and art from the

In fact, I had a better known by the nickname "beiming by marine."

The name comes from the tour ":" beiming fish, its name is an old, old, I wonder if it is thousands of miles. Of birds, its name is PAM ... "in my twenty years old, Tsinghua University journal editor-in-Chief Prof. Zheng Fu Yu sent me a folding fans, one side is his neat as normal write the rituals of initiation rites, scholars • the other side is" beiming by marine "five big characters. I am a devoted fans, the folding fans encouraged me in later years did something a little significance: will be able to collect information on the Opera collate, digitized and put online for free download. This thing is out of spontaneity, and no fame asks. In January of this year, courtesy of netizens recommend, the Oriental Outlook magazine on I do this thing for the interview, which is also reflected in the mainstream media for civil cultural force of cognition and attention, and I am glad.

With my traditional cultural tastes, now at Microsoft Research's research work is my hobby.

However, prior to joining Microsoft research, I just think this is a life's work, not on here in the future what brilliant imagination. In all fairness, my own personal technology the insolent forward development has a different idea: in many cases, technical progress just makes the Earth Burns faster. The technology in my mind, should be the development of development, but should be left to future generations more resources should be more focused on people's spirits, that is, the Analects of Confucius "child road, XI, Jan, sat," the waiter gongxihua paragraph has the ideal XI. While many technical fields of study are often lost in the stick micro, too much to shape down various abberation, Zhiyuan dinosaur slime.

However, at the Institute for three years of work let me on techniques that work itself, there are some new understanding.

This would first like to thank my teacher in charge of the voice group song ge ping teacher. For an in-depth understanding of Chinese culture and BellLabs more than 20 years of research experience, the song became a teacher in Chinese of the elegant scholar, he guides us these research areas of elementary school students on track and motivated to tell us that as a responsible and ambitions of researchers, research should be as a life-long pursuit, not just to get ahead in a short period of time; should the own contribution to the field partner's deep understanding of the problem, not just a show off skills and tried desperately to find innovation point; it should be combined with the expertise to build the community wide concern; and not only concern articles, patents, and business models. These make my voice in the work of the group, has gradually found the significance of the study, feel the joy of research, no longer believe that enterprises and research institutions are eager for quick success. Slowly I found that many colleagues who have similar mental Outlook: I once spent mine in Pittsburgh hear xiaowen feeling the steel city of vicissitudes of life and change; once at the Vancouver airport and Wang excitedly on proven technology to help our country what; once in Seattle's Microsoft technology section on Joseph is proud to provide United States colleagues demonstrate his automatic pair system. Here, the researchers are vivid, the slightest pedantic and boring. While such a research fellow at the Institute, consisting of or more alive, she is not a slave to academic or product, and is standing at the Community frontier of thinkers and practitioners.

Recall the Tsinghua school song, which has a "device recognition, and art from".

I believe that I had most of the new era of Tsinghua alumni, on this plant is actually two words. At Microsoft Research Asia work experience and sung by precept and example of the teacher, let me take a taste of the true meaning of the first to grasp the overall everything: direction and pattern, and then find details and techniques. Over the past three years, my experience is that I first learned of that knowledge is located, also let me for this job.

Marina to straighten out, through to relaxation

Institute ushered her 10-year birthday, I have been here for three years.

Three years, I grew up with her and gradually became interested in the study. 15 years, I have had two hobbies: poems, she taught me two words: straighten out; after the Opera, she taught me two more words: relaxation. Now, I put on it as my hobby, so also straighten out and relax in. The so-called straighten out, never give up perfect spirit: remember when I graduate students in the cultural Bureau and Shanghai young Yu sent in Peking opera actor good-looking between Pei-Yu Wang, contributed to a period of three days in the National Palace of culture of performance. Start the organizer's official cavity full performance topics, so I think spirit is not enough, I secretly wondering the taste, the last of the topic as a "bamboo 3," a rather irrelevant, somewhat self-consciously strength, taste of the beauty of straighten out. In myResearch career, in addition to a solid strive content, I also hope to own every task in the form of perfect, because I am convinced that the patchwork approach may work in some particular issue covet, but eventually everyone's understanding deeper then be eliminated. And the so-called relaxation, it is necessary to maintain a normal heart: this as I organize Opera information, would have no motivation to let others know I am, but an episode that things have changed: I was doing a laboratory projects, Hogan: mp3, a test program to make my computer all the mp3 files will play on the "beiming by marine (bmchs@263.net)" label, this became known. Similarly, in the research, I also asked her to have a normal heart, the first to do a good job, whether it was acclaimed at once, or to report a "people do not know but not pique" attitude. Although the Institute has the so-called 6P [People (personnel), Program (project), Paper (paper), Prototype (technology prototypes), Product Impact (product weight)] guidelines, but I think that, as a qualified researchers, these few P should be my goal. I should do is in my research efforts in the field of law, resolve issues found, and the other is a by-product.

Face the difficulty of research efforts to encourage bold explorations and valuable fails, Microsoft Research Asia is the most appealing to me.

The Research Institute on our assessment of each researcher, actually implementing the spirit of straighten out and relaxation. Here, my manager will not be mere few figures to evaluate my work. He will carefully and I Exchange, listen to my goals and dreams, and to give impartial advice. Not only a successful project will be in the affirmative, the result is not ideal but process intensive research work will be appreciated. It can be said that the results of the calm and the requirements of the process is a rigorous Research Institute in the past decade, the key to continued success. In today's industry, research institutions, here are a few inherited BellLabs fascinating one academic traditional laboratory. As my colleague John strong teacher expectations, the twenty-first century "Labs" Bill will and twentieth century BellLabs made the same success.

Institute of relaxation atmosphere, straighten out, let me be able to breathe, rigorous thinking, also let me on their original tastes have a lot of new knowledge.

I engaged in research on the voice, where knowledge and ideas and a lot of Opera's essence inextricably linked, because from the gestures of perspective, the Chinese Opera core aesthetic is neither in the melody, nor in the book, but in between songs. Opera and music for hundreds of years of evolution, but actually contains a how can the Chinese pronunciation is more beautiful, the most complete exploration and practice. And by the voice of learning research, I came to know how the Chinese inflection in songs with guidance role, see plate Chamber and the fundamental difference between the tune name, but also to more intelligently tasting and mastering some down to the heart of the musical highlights of the film. In the last year, I invited my Opera teacher came to the Institute, to speak with a vivid Opera universal class.

Conclusion

Saints: "a gentleman does not.

"My experience of Microsoft Research Asia is so requires and cultivate. Here not only need one aspect of the expertise, but also hope that all of the researcher has a solid architecture and broad possibilities, we know that the ultimate aim is for researchers to expand human vision, for the benefit of people's lives. In this sense, we have neither need to stick to your own professional, there is also no need to utilitarian goals distort his enthusiasm. Notes, of the spirit, ask us anytime in the discovery and creation, both seen and heard in their dedication to our cause. In the advent of Microsoft for 10 years birthday, I would like to say to her: "met for three years, is kind of knowledge. ”
