Chapter 89 Algorithms Won't Deceive You

My girlfriend's relatives actually came to visit.

This made Nick/Kadaloisio even more depressed.

Depressed, Nick Daloisio began to think:
How did Nanfeng APP achieve such a high efficiency of news summary?

After thinking about it, Nick Daloisio felt that the problem must be in the algorithm.

However, algorithms are what Nick Daloisio is not good at.

Nick D'Aloisio has made a small fortune in programming though.

But he never really delved into the algorithm.

In front of the vast ocean of algorithms.

He wasn't even a beach kid picking up shells.

In fact, I made that news summary software earlier.

When it comes to the core algorithm, Nick Daloisio doesn't quite understand it either.

Nick D'Aloisio has nothing to be ashamed of.

After all, he is just a software engineer.

If a software engineer can independently perform algorithm work.

What do you need a dedicated algorithm engineer for?
However, Nick looked at the Nanfeng APP in the AppStore and did not note who was responsible for the algorithm.

Could it be that the algorithm part of Nanfeng APP is done by the developer alone?
This surprised Nick D'Aloisio somewhat.

It was unbelievable, at least beyond Nick's comprehension.

Single NLP algorithm?

Is this the real strong? ! !

Nick suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

In addition to the sense of powerlessness, Nick Daloisio also felt more and more shallow!
But after all, I am not reconciled!

Being defeated is not depressing, the most depressing thing is losing for no reason.

In order to answer the doubts in my heart.

Nick D'Aloisio still sent a distress email to his partner and Eserio's algorithm cooperation team immediately after the situation he encountered.

It is said to be a distress email, but in fact Nick Daloisio mainly expresses his accusation.

Is the summary algorithm that the Yiseryu team said is the world's leading?
What's the matter now that the efficiency is easily crushed several times?
I deeply feel the unreliability of the Yiseryu team.

Nick D'Aloisio once again puts his troubles through briefing

Seek help from many universities in the United States, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University, by email.

Despite sending a distress email, Nick D'Aloisio was still at a loss.

It's not the kind of daze that has no opponents like "drawing the sword and looking around at a daze".

It's the dazed feeling that the illusory ideal is suddenly dragged by the ruthless reality and crashes to the ground.

Look at the name of the developer of Nanfeng APP 808080.

Nick D'Aloisio doesn't know why.

I searched through Google but only found that the color corresponding to #808080 is gray.

And gray was exactly his mood at the moment—grey, dull and gloomy.

Such a depressing name.

Nick D'Aloisio felt more and more that the developer of Nanfeng APP was just trying to mess with his mentality.

But there's nothing Nick D'Aloisio can do about it.

Friends may betray you, love may leave you.

But the algorithm won't, the algorithm won't just won't.

If the algorithm works, it works, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

The world of algorithms is extremely cold, and the only rule in this world is survival of the fittest.

The capable go up, the weak go down.

Unfortunately, the algorithm Nick used before was the one who was eliminated.

……

Nick's task at Yahoo is to be responsible for the improvement of the Yahoo News Digest software.

It's good now, the work has not achieved anything

There is also a more efficient software for news summarization on the market.

what is this?
Nick felt that his job at Yahoo was going to be wiped out.

Although a large company like Yahoo does not lack idlers.

But a strong ego made Nick not want to stay for a second longer.

Having said that, if not in Yahoo.

Where will he go from now on?
Nick Daloisio suddenly remembered the project invitation sent to him by Professor Jules of Princeton University not long ago.

This project invitation involving recurrent neural networks was originally abandoned by him.

Now Nick D'Aloisio is suddenly rummaging again.

Compared to jumping left and right between work and school.

Perhaps returning to his studies with all his heart is what he should do.

Besides, working as a laborer at Yahoo is not as interesting as hunting in college... Interesting.

Ah no, Nick D'Aloisio mostly feels compared to annoying work.

Learning is the best way to fill the emptiness in your heart.

And how can he say that he is also a person with 3000 million US dollars now, so there is no need to come out to work at all.

Speaking of $3000 million, Nick D'Aloisio suddenly felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, he got the news summary software a long time ago.

Otherwise, let alone 3000 million US dollars, even [-] US dollars is probably not there.
