Chapter 71 Translating Dreams

Four of Hearts (Wei Hongsi): "@Tonghuashun - Has your 'Neural Dictionary' been updated recently?"

Tonghuashun (Jiang Haiyang): "Basically, no. We can't find suitable material to expand on right now. What are you guys planning to do? Peep into someone's brain?"

Tractor (Feng Weixu): "What else can we do? We can't exactly spy on gorillas, can we?"

Tonghuashun: "You know what, I'm actually planning to work in this direction and create a cross-species information decoding model."

Tractor: "You really dare to think that way! But it's a good direction. It can discard the influence of complicated language and return to the interpretation of basic emotions and physiological needs."

Tonghuashun: "That's right! Help me get an invasive electrode array for gorillas, and we'll use multimodal methods to interpret neural signals."

Tractor: "I have no problem with that, but where did you get the gorilla from?"

Tonghuashun: "Can I apply for this? Also, I need a basic stimulus library for gorillas. @Fangkuaiqi - are you interested in filling a technological gap?"

Tonghuashun: "By the way, @Tractor-, why are you still here? Didn't someone come to challenge you to an offline duel?"

Tractor: "Someone has short legs and can't run that fast."

Square Seven (Dai Mengqi): "You just wait! @Tractor (1000-ton sledgehammer smashing emoji)"

Seven of Diamonds: "@Flush - You can only talk if you can actually get a gorilla."

Wei Hongsi was speechless.

His senior classmates always had some amazing ideas. But it was precisely because they often had sudden inspirations that they would do things that seemed useless, but could play a crucial role in certain special circumstances.

For example, Dai Mengqi's "Basic Semantic Stimulus Library" has gradually expanded to 16 contexts used by more than 8 million people on Earth.

Jiang Haiyang's "Neurological Dictionary" also came about in this way.

It is not a decoding library for brain neural signals, because theoretically, such a universal decoding library does not exist.

Due to differences in genetics, experiences, and thinking habits, each person's brain will encode the same concepts in subtle but crucial ways. For example, the activation patterns of the word "key" in different people's brains will only be partially similar, and will never be exactly the same.

Therefore, if a general model is trained based on data from a large number of people and then used to decode a particular individual, the accuracy will be very low. Especially for highly complex information, it will essentially be an ineffective interpretation.

The "neural dictionary" is actually an algorithmic model, essentially an intelligent neural coding mapper that can efficiently establish neural signal anchor data. In simpler terms, it finds the most stable and clearest correspondences between concepts and signals in the brain.

With these anchor points, they can be used as a reference frame to gradually decode other more ambiguous signals and complete a neural translation package specific to the subject.

The algorithm model that Wei Hongsi used to verify Scheme B was written under their influence, and it took into account many special cases.

However, they went off-topic!

Four of Hearts: "@Flush - The subjects have cross-cultural upbringing backgrounds, but the specifics are unclear. The conceptual representations may correspond to two or more competing or stratified neural patterns."

Tonghuashun: "Oh, let me think."

Tonghuashun: "Then we should first perform 'meta-analysis' on the signal to identify the co-activation pattern with the language processing area in order to determine the subject's current thought language."

Four of Hearts: "Should we also add the activity levels of brain regions in the limbic system associated with cultural identity?"

Tonghuashun: "That makes sense!"

Four of Hearts: "@Tractor - Did you guys talk about synchronization issues today?"

Tractor: "Yes, I've explained the specific environmental requirements. The computing and data will definitely rely on the university's supercomputing center. They prefer a dual-site collaborative model, where they will set up the subject monitoring station, and we will be responsible for establishing the decoding working group."

Wei Hongsi estimated the same outcome. Mu Jie's situation was rather special; the police wouldn't move him unless absolutely necessary. With current technology, setting up a dedicated ultra-high-speed fiber optic link wouldn't be a problem.

Tonghuashun: "Who are they?"

Tractor: "I'll tell you if you join, otherwise don't ask."

Tonghuashun: "Isn't that obvious?!"

Queen of Hearts (Zhao Hongquan): "What wicked thing are you plotting?"

Tractor: "Damn it! We're doing something great that benefits the country and its people! Instead of working hard for the boss, you have time to gossip about us?"

Queen of Hearts: "It's afternoon relaxation time now, understand? The boss told me to ask you what naughty things you're doing!"

Four of Hearts: "Help the police solve the case."

Queen of Hearts: "Oh, then do a good job."

Queen of Hearts: "The boss said he'd treat you to a big meal if you did a good job."

Seemingly to prove he wasn't lying, he then sent a voice message to the group, which was Professor Zhou's voice: "I've prepared gifts for each of you. I'll treat you to a big meal when we get back."

So everyone else started sending "Thank you, boss" emojis in the comments.

Wei Hongsi suddenly remembered that one of the companies on the list that Ji Cheng had given him today was in the country where Professor Zhou and his group were currently located.

If that company encountered an incident similar to the one at the amusement park, there would likely be some negative public opinion surrounding it, and such things shouldn't be too difficult to find out locally.

So he sent Zhao Hongquan a private message, asking him to help him find out about the situation.

Zhao Hongquan responded with a string of question marks, then asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in car parts?"

Wei Hongsi replied, "There are some special reasons, but it's not certain yet. If it's convenient for you, just get a general idea, treat it as gossip."

Zhao Hongquan: "Okay, then I'll just ask casually."

While Wei Hongsi and Zhao Hongquan were having a private chat, Dai Mengqi had already completed her offline punishment of Feng Weixu. She sent a message in the group chat, which was a photo of her fist resting on Feng Weixu's head.

Seven of Diamonds: "@Tonghuashun, do you want to collaborate with me on that 'meta-analysis'?"

Tonghuashun: "Absolutely."

Seven of Diamonds: "Then come out and treat me to a late-night snack."

Tonghuashun: "..."

Tonghuashun: "Big sister, your thinking is really unique. You guys are the ones who asked me to do the work, right?"

Seven of Diamonds: "It wasn't me, it was Little Crazy."

Tonghuashun: "Then go ask him to invite you! Aren't you two together?"

Tractor: "It wasn't me, it was Xiao Si."

Four of Hearts: "It wasn't me, it was the police. @Tractor-Did you sign the agreement?"

Tractor: "Okay, it's on me. @Everyone - it's my treat, late-night snack."

Then, apart from Dai Mengqi replying with "me", everyone else went offline.
