"The beauty of Mathematics", chapter 7th Jarinik and Modern language processing

In today's materialistic Chinese society, the academic world is impetuous, the young are anxious, and the few young people with lofty ambitions are actually very lonely.

1 Early life

View:

First of all, primary and secondary school students do not really need to spend so much time reading, and their social experience, the ability to live and the ambition set up at that time will help their life.

Second, the high school stage spends a long time than the companion to read the course, after the university uses very short time to be able to read, because in the university stage, the person's understanding is stronger.

Thirdly, learning is the process that lasts for a lifetime.

The contents of the book can be learned early, but also can be learned late, but missed the stage of growth is unable to fill it back.

One wants to be world-class in his own field, and there must be a lot of first-rate people around him.

2 from Watergate to Monica Lewinsky

The time of the Watergate Incident (1972) was precisely the time when statistical speech recognition and natural language processing began.

Two obstacles: a lack of computing power and a large number of computer-readable text corpora that can be used for statistics.

The natural language processing method based on statistics, which was established by IBM in the 70 's, has the inevitability of history.

First, only IBM has enough computing power and data.

Second, Jarinik has done more than 10 years of theoretical research in this field and is working at IBM.

Thirdly, in the 70 's, when little Watson developed IBM's business to the apex, IBM invested very much in basic research.

The miracle of 31 old people

Jarinik went to Johns Hopkins University in 1993 to establish the world-renowned CLSP laboratory.
