Yes, although there are currently no candidates, this does not prevent Dou Dou from using Qiao Ze as a model to explain to scholars and their students around the world how this contribution score is derived. It can also be seen as Dou Dou publicly sharing its contribution calculation algorithm.
It even set up a suggestion portal online.
If you think this algorithm design is unreasonable, you can provide feedback.
If your feedback is accepted, you can receive a Qiao Ze Award Special Contribution Medal and a reward of ten thousand US dollars.
In this aspect, Dou Dou demonstrates its humble side as an artificial intelligence.
Of course, Dou Dou's detestable side is always proportional to its adorable side.
For instance, not only did it reveal Qiao Ze's academic contribution score on the candidate interface, but it also began working like a diligent little bee to enrich the list of candidates. Among the first group of people it selected, there was one mathematician who was quite special.
This mathematician's name still appears alongside Qiao Ze's on the official website of the Crawford Prize to this day.
Indeed, it was Camille Dubois.
For this researcher at the French Juxier Mathematical Research Institute, 2024 is definitely a fantastical year.
As we know, the vast majority of scientists, especially mathematicians, are virtually unknown.
Just like how even someone as strong as Edward Whitten, who won the Fields Medal for establishing a mathematical foundation for string theory and proposed the extremely abstract M-theory, only has a few thousand followers on Twitter, which is nothing compared to any minor celebrity.
Not to mention ordinary researchers.
Most researchers spend their lives in scientific research, and besides people close to them, hardly anyone knows about their work.
Unless there is a need for publicity.
This is like in Huaxia, when discussing the Goldbach conjecture, everyone thinks of Chen, but apart from insiders, few people know that Wang also made significant achievements in this work. For instance, Wang proved at the age of twenty-seven that every sufficiently large even number can be expressed as the product of at most two prime numbers plus at most three prime numbers' product.
This was also a world-leading scientific result in number theory at that time.
Clearly, Dou Dou, filled with too many utilitarian thoughts, thought of approaching Camille Dubois also for publicity purposes.
Scientists don't need publicity, but a world-class scientific award in its infancy needs publicity to quickly become a world-renowned scientific award.
Internet-famous Dou Dou clearly understands how to promote and generate public attention.
There must be twists, controversies, gossip, and plots that catch people's eyes...
Therefore, on the Qiaoze Mathematics Award interface, the first names that must appear are Qiao Ze and Camille Dubois, along with a comparison of their contributions at the mathematical level.
It's best if their scores can even cause their respective Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters. Whether haters or fans, as long as they participate in the discussion, it's popularity, all of which can be utilized.
Of course, Dou Dou always differentiates between fans and haters.
But the initial hype must be stirred up.
Since Qiaoze Natural Science Award competes with the Nobel Prize, it naturally needs the heat of the Nobel Prize.
The only difference is that this heat must not start from the general public, otherwise it would become an entertainment award. Instead, it should start with controversies in academia, and then infiltrate the general public, just like the historical Nobel Prize.
Except that the Nobel Prize took a hundred years of operation to have today's spectacle where the entire nation discusses the awards annually.
But Dou Dou can't wait that long.Moreover, in the age of the internet, there indeed is no need to wait that long.
"Hi, Ms. Dubois, I'm Qiao Dou Dou."
When it was eight o'clock in the morning in France, just as Camille Dubois walked into her office and was about to get some coffee, she received this call from Huaxia, filled with confusion inside.
She doesn't seem to know anyone named Qiao Dou Dou.
Not to mention that the voice sounded young and tender, like a child.
Well, you can't blame Camille Dubois for being inexperienced. Mainly because mathematicians are indeed very busy, and although she had roughly heard that Qiao Ze developed an artificial intelligence, she wasn't very familiar with it, making it hard to make the connection.
"I am Qiao Dou Dou from the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, though not very distinguished, appointed by my dad, I am managing the review matters of the Qiaoze Natural Science Award. I noticed your research achievements, and also for publicity purposes for the Qiaoze Natural Science Award, I would like to invite you to join this year's mathematics prize candidate list, do you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Camille Dubois immediately understood the entity on the other end of the phone.
Of course, when Dou Dou sent mass emails, it naturally did not forget the Juxier Mathematics Research Institute, nor did it forget Ms. Dubois.
Even if Camille Dubois had not yet seen the email specifically sent to her, she had already heard her colleagues talking about it at work.
After all, the establishment of the Qiaoze Natural Science Award itself is a topic.
Even though sometimes they avoid discussing these topics around her, the break room at her workplace isn't soundproof...
Yet, Camille Dubois still felt somewhat frustrated.
Listen to that, what does "for publicity needs" even mean?!Do artificial intelligences talk this honestly?
Can't it say it highly appreciates her results?!
