Chapter 1889 Predicting the Unpredictable
The large conference room next door is often used. Satellite lines can be used to conduct direct video conferences with the capital, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Europe and the United States. Other places in the country can participate in telephone conferences via telephone lines. This way of working is actually very convenient once you get used to it.

"Eh?" Seeing the two hardworking figures in the conference room, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but look outside the glass curtain wall. The sun, which was rarely seen in late autumn in Shudu, made him wonder if it was rising from the west today. "Damn, why are you two here so early?!"

"Hey, Boss, why are you back?!" The two people debugging the equipment were Hu Tianyu and Hu Lidong. They were shocked to see Zhou Zhi: "You didn't tell me that on the phone the day before yesterday?!"

Zhou Zhi looked at the time on the big screen in the conference room: "It's only half past eight now. You guys always complain about every meeting before nine o'clock. It's a bad influence on the entire group. What's going on today?!"

"Actually, this matter has nothing to do with our group," Hu Tianyu said, "Of course it is not completely unrelated, but it is mainly related to the school's affairs."

In addition to being "senior officials" of Clover, Hu Tianyu and Hu Lidong are actually teachers at Shu University, responsible for some teaching and scientific research tasks.

Hu Lidong added, "There is a laboratory preparatory meeting today. Boss, you don't know yet, right? Our school is going to have a computer expert. If you can get him, we at Clover will not have to worry about food and drink for the next 10 to 20 years."

"It's not that exaggerated." Hu Tianyu said, and then handed the video conference remote control to Mai Xiaomiao beside Zhou Zhi: "The school is going to set up a cellular neural network laboratory. This is the first time that our school has established a cutting-edge discipline laboratory in the information industry. It means that we have caught up with the world in at least some aspects."

"Although it is a school laboratory, it is still closely related to our group, because both our operating system and database are in line with the idea of ​​discrete and distributed system establishment. After inspecting many schools and enterprises, the country decided to set up the laboratory in our Shu University. Only our research and development here can provide the necessary technical preparation for the laboratory."

"Today, Mr. Mai will bring this big boss here. I heard he is a genius from Berkeley and a student of Cai Shaotang..." Hu Lidong muttered excitedly, and then found Mai Xiaomiao holding the remote control in a daze: "Hurry up and debug it. Can't you see that we are reporting to the boss? If there is an important meeting like this the next day, come to work early and be prepared for the meeting."

"Xueshan's soldiers should be managed by Xueshan." Hu Tianyu poked Hu Lidong, "They are still wearing visitor badges. Don't scare the probationary students."

After saying that, he put on a friendly smile and said, "Welcome to our group for internship, and you are more welcome to work in our group after graduation. Although our group is very young, it is precisely because of this that it is particularly suitable for young people..."

Feng Xueshan was also naughty. She took the remote control from Mai Xiaomiao with a smile and said, "Let me do it today. She just got here and is not familiar with the situation yet."

Feng Xueshan took Mai Xiaomiao, who didn't know what was going on, aside. Hu Tianyu and Hu Lidong continued to report to Zhou Zhi: "Shu University wants to borrow some of our scientific research results, which mainly include three aspects. One is the construction of distributed computing power, which requires a computing power network based on our COS platform; the second is the graph database, which is also a database that conforms to the distributed data structure and can be used to deploy related applications; the third is the application scenario. Now our electronic library has scanned in a considerable amount of information, including text, graphics, and even some sound and image data. Regardless of the complexity of the data itself or the complexity of the relationship between the data, they are all suitable as the service objects of the neural network system." "Maybe you think too simply." Zhou Zhi shook his head: "Non-linear logic refers to the logical phenomenon that a node element has multiple direct predecessors and direct successors. Therefore, distributed data alone is not enough to form the node elements of cellular neural networks."

"This node element actually refers to a type of label for the data, and the multiple direct predecessors and direct successors refer to the results of the algorithm and the relationship between the results. It does not refer to the relationship between the data, but to the relationship between a large number of complex analysis algorithms based on the data and the results of the algorithms."

"Take an apple for example." Zhou Zhi picked up an apple from the fruit plate brought by Feng Xueshan. "It has various labels on it, such as the place of origin, planting method, local climate, sunshine hours, etc. These factors are one of the many labels of the apple data in the graph database."

"These labels will determine the ingredients of the apple, such as sugar, water, aromatic substances, etc., which will jointly determine the taste. Therefore, we can use the relationship between labels, algorithms, and results to draw conclusions about which apples are tastier."

"Similarly, we can also use cost labels such as labor, management, and transportation to find out the relationship between the price and sales area of ​​the same apple, and through a series of algorithms, we can conclude which apples are more expensive in Shudu."

"These two results are considered node elements, and the previous labels are their direct predecessors. The choice of which apples people in Shudu prefer to buy is the direct successor of these two node elements."

"Of course, there can't be only one direct driver. For example, the proportion of various apples in the Shudu market, the difference between the prices of various apples in Shudu and other places, and even the profits they bring to fruit merchants, and the fluctuations of the entire Shudu apple market are all direct or indirect drivers of these two stages."

"When these node elements become large and complex to a certain extent, the data logic, which should be linear, begins to show a certain degree of nonlinear characteristics. The final result may be that unless there is a huge and clear feature, such as a large-scale poor apple harvest, the precise trend of the apple market in Shuzhong next year becomes unpredictable."

"Of course, this unpredictability is only applicable to current statistical tools," Zhou Zhi said. "The cellular neural network laboratory that is about to be established is designed to solve this problem."

"In previous work, our digital library has achieved a lot of success. We have obtained a lot of 'node elements', such as the 'biographies' of famous officials sorted out from a large number of classics, which can be regarded as one category."

"If we want to further study the relationships between these ministers, as well as the support, promotion, opposition, conflict, marriage, family, and ultimately the trends formed in the government, the impact on the course of history, etc., this is a further study of this kind."
