The introduction

I had been doing research in natural language processing in school, and I thought I would have an opportunity to do that after graduation, but it didn’t. Since graduation, I have been working for nearly two years, and I have been working as an algorithm in a state-owned enterprise. Because for my department, for the moment, the business is mainly survey and wisdom city business, such as water, fire protection, wisdom, subway, wisdom construction site, etc., need I hand in these business opportunities are numbered, so I was thinking about his positioning in the unit, and the application of natural language processing.

disconnect

Now I worked as a algorithm that is in charge of to be a part of the search engine, I can clearly feel although want to research and development have long-term plans and development, but it was a bit disjointed, and the company’s business for the company’s business distribution on my personal, is some very shallow technology, to support my further study, Company leaders also want to transfer projects quickly and collect money quickly, as long as the function is acceptable, not to improve performance. Shortly after the end of this task is going to do next, there is no time to think deeply about the work, this kind of personal technology is limited by the company’s business is a very painful thing, often have a sense of crisis, and the forefront of the industry also has a disconnect, so I can only try my best to study the direction of the content, the result only yourself to learn something less than the business, Which brings us back to the original painful disconnection problem.

And many other developers in the company, about after found, in fact, many of their projects are also DEMO level, including the giant huawei, their project also has a paper cannot fall to the actual, abound, their own learning and make it yourself is not the same thing is the norm, the end result is for individuals will continue to be a salted fish, Unless I make up my mind to resign and have the ability to work in the core department of a big factory, I can only become the former.

Thinking about technology

For the future of natural language processing, I have always believed that there is a vast world, because the main knowledge of human beings is obtained by text. But the current development really want to be in silence, after a variety of big kill the brush list, now difficult to appear in the weight of the technology, the reality of the landing of the project is also a few, the performance is a little artificial intellectual retarded feeling, far less popular than CV, perhaps in the real introduction of knowledge map after a breakthrough.

In addition, found that after my real work for deep learning this black box model, there are a lot of people are skeptical, especially in the eyes of the leadership of the state-owned enterprises, they only believe “seeing is believing”, ambiguous model that they can, so you need to spend energy to explain the necessity with the model.

Technical details aside, many companies in fact do not have their own data, do natural language processing is sometimes a very dependent on the quality of the data task, so the quality of data and technology to do STH over and over again, otherwise is a clever housewife can not cook a meal without rice.

At the end

One thing is for sure, now also is very young, still want to know more about the industry forefront, learn more knowledge, regardless of how the working condition in the unit, cannot be swayed by the company’s business, as far as possible to the business as an opportunity to dig down, although probably dig down with less than the business, in 2021, immediately after a half, Here are some goals for yourself:

  • Continue to learn and keep track of natural language processing technologies, write more articles and summaries, and take the data of your gold mining website to the next level
  • Dig as deep as possible for the technology involved in the business. If the strength allows, explain to the person in charge that adding a certain amount of technology can sell more money, which is not harmful to both sides
  • The overtime work in the first half of the year has caused some physical damage, including problems in eyes, neck and waist. The body is the capital of the revolution. I guarantee to play table tennis four times a week for half an hour each time
  • The most important thing is to hope that the annual bonus will increase at least two months of salary
