Chapter 851: Chapter 450: Did Expert Bai Mo Mess Up? (2)

"In a few more years, we’ll have that kind of strength too!

"Everyone, stay alert!

"The glue issue is behind us!

"Let’s go to the computer vision lab and see real professional engineers!"

As they reached the stairway corner, they came across a team heading up the stairs.

Leading the group was none other than Old Chen, Chen Wenquan, instructing the seven or eight doctoral students behind him.

"It wasn’t easy to secure this visit opportunity.

"Your dean and Professor Zhang both accommodated us.

"Pay attention to discipline, while listening and observing more, got it?"

The doctoral students nodded repeatedly, all extremely well-behaved!

They had all signed up for the Immortal Exam and applied to Bai Mo Pharmaceutical Factory!

At this moment, they were straining their ears and sharpening their eyes, ready to listen and watch intently.

Perhaps what they hear or see today could help in the Immortal Exam interview?

Chen Wenquan saw Wan Bocheng and others, smiled, and invited them to join in going to Professor Fang’s lab.

Upon opening the door, they saw Professor Fang and his dozen students watching a large screen as if involved in a live broadcast.

Professor Fang turned to exchange pleasantries with Old Chen, then smiled to introduce to the students.

"First of all, on behalf of Expert Bai Mo and the pharmaceutical factory, I welcome you all to visit.

"Expert Bai Mo will be coming soon.

"Everyone, don’t be too reserved, find a seat and get ready to watch the live broadcast together.

"Today, you’re visiting the latest computer vision project, [Immortal Crime Detection].

"The human eye can recognize immortal crimes, it’s not difficult.

"For instance, if you see a sparrow bigger than an ox eating people, that’s definitely an immortal crime.

"Or if you see someone swinging a bronze sword to kill, with sword light and sword qi, that’s certainly an immortal crime.

"Or if you see someone drawing a talisman on the bank wall, and then it explodes, that’s definitely an immortal crime.

"And today, the project we’re showcasing is how to make computers understand and identify immortal crimes!"

As Professor Fang spoke, the students and doctoral candidates listened attentively.

Especially the doctoral candidates, who widened their eyes, looking earnest and pretending to be as eager to learn as possible... because Professor Fang might be one of their interviewers for the Immortal Exam.

"But the complexity of our project doesn’t end there."

Then Professor Fang moved aside to pick up a drone from a nearby table.

"Have you seen the camera on this drone? It’s its eye.

"Drones can fly high and low, observing from different perspectives.

"This adds difficulty to our pattern recognition.

"It’s a dimensional increase, a difficulty!

"Moreover, our drones, grouped in threes, require us to manage three flying drones, processing video and images from various perspectives..."

As Professor Fang explained, the doctoral candidates all frowned, showing difficulties in their expressions, as if feeling the challenge of the project!

Wan Bocheng and others listened seriously as well... but since they weren’t taking part in the Immortal Exam, they only needed to listen without having to act.

Professor Fang gestured, explaining the problem’s complexity.

Regarding the specific solution, he skimmed over it with a few sentences without detailed elaboration.

"... In short, this program involves complex normalization, object recognition, logical inference, and also considers trajectory, gait, attire, etc., using lots of neural network and machine learning knowledge... It’s a very awesome plan!

"It’s not suitable to go into details now.

"If any of you stand out in the Immortal Exam and join my lab, you’ll get to see the detailed articles, hahaha!"

The doctoral students collectively displayed an extremely yearning expression, nodding solemnly.

Wan Bocheng pointed at the live broadcast on the big screen.

"Professor Fang, what’s that?"

Professor Fang walked over to the big screen and smiled proudly.

"This [Immortal Crime Detection] project isn’t just being done by us.

"Across Jiuzhou, several universities and labs have proposed solutions, totaling dozens, perhaps?

"Today, the Immortal Committee has organized a simulation exercise, letting everyone bring out their plans to show off their skills, to see who’s a mule and who’s a horse, hahaha."

Wan Bocheng and others joined in the laughter.

"Professor Fang, do you have confidence?"

Professor Fang patted his chest.

"Absolutely!

"Watch and see!

"After all, this plan is architected by Expert Bai Mo.

"In this field, no one can compare with Expert Bai Mo.

"They are far behind."

Yang Zhan also grinned.

"Professor Fang, so is our plan a mule or a horse?"

Professor Fang looked at Yang Zhan with a smile.

"Of course, it is..."

A doctoral candidate interrupted!

"A thoroughbred!"

A second doctoral candidate chimed in!

"A qilin!"

Professor Fang followed the sounds to look over, seeing these quick-witted doctoral candidates, he took a sharp breath.

"Not bad, impressive skills!"

The flattery skills, quite impressive!

After a bit of chatting, everyone scattered to bring chairs over, looking up at the big screen.

The scene displayed a secluded alley on the outskirts of West State City, with various cameras, stagemaking, and emergency medical personnel bustling about.

Several Immortal Technique Committee members had already changed into costumes, preparing to portray criminals and perform immortal crimes.

Beside them, over a hundred drones, grouped in threes, each with different colored tags, waited for the competition.

Commanding on site was Zheng Yu, holding a microphone, facing the camera, addressing the live audience.

"Testing, testing?

"Is everyone watching?

"First, thank you all for your proposals!

"We’re ready on our end, enough with the wordiness, let’s start the competition!

"Go ahead!"

At his command, someone operated, and over a hundred drones arranged on the ground buzzed into the air, quickly filling the sky, starting to patrol over the alley!

Professor Fang turned to explain the testing process to the students.

"This is a simulated patrol within this district.

"Soon, the immortal crime performance will begin."

Just as he finished speaking, the big screen showed two fleeting shadows darting out of the alley, chased one by the other, with the one in front bleeding as they fled!

Professor Fang explained.

"Normally, when a drone identifies the speed of these two individuals, it immediately recognizes them as Immortal Technique Masters.

"It will promptly follow to track and observe them!"

Sure enough, onscreen, over a hundred drones instantly swarmed, attracted by these two fleeing individuals, automatically latching on to start filming!

The big screen quickly displayed the reaction speeds of the different drones in recognition.

"1. Shangjing University Computer Vision Lab, 0.080 seconds"

"2. Nantian University of Technology Computer Science Department, 0.088 seconds"

"3. West State Immortal Committee Jiang Wood Team, 0.091 seconds"

"4. Chunshan University of Technology, 0.092 seconds"

...

Professor Fang’s smile gradually froze.

The laboratory also fell silent.

Wan Bocheng and others noticed something amiss... how did Expert Bai Mo’s solution not rank first?

It wasn’t second, nor third...

Even scanning further down, the top twenty didn’t list Expert Bai Mo’s plan.

The atmosphere turned awkward.

The doctoral students glanced at each other, unsure what to say.

At this moment.

Creak...

The lab door opened.

Bai Mo, wearing a light short down jacket, with his apprentice Sugar Beans on his shoulder, walked in smiling.

"Has it started already?

"How is our solution performing?

"The solution considers many elements, which might slightly slow response speed.

"But ranking in the top three shouldn’t be a problem!"

He looked up at the screen.

"Hmm?"

Did he see wrong?

The fox apprentice Sugar Beans on Bai Mo’s shoulder, although unable to read, sensed from the expressions in the lab that something might be wrong?

"Grr?"
