Chapter 282
After Ashley, Tim, Professor Louis, and others exchanged greetings, the seminar was about to officially start.
Ashley and Tim were arranged in the first row, in a spot close to the center.
Tanya, meanwhile, sat in the second row.
As role models of the new generation, Ashley and Tim were both invited on stage to share some methods and experiences in learning and doing research, for the students below to reference.

After the speech segment concluded, and the discussion and exchange session began, the big-shot experts present all proactively went up to talk with Ashley and Tim first.
These experts all had a certain level of renown within the country, and each had their own research direction.
Whether discussing convolutional neural networks, embodied AI implementation, multimodal interaction, or anything else, Ashley could respond with ease, and offered her thoughts and suggestions on issues like modal missingness and computational efficiency that plagued these experts, making the eyes of the experts who sought her advice grow brighter and brighter as they listened, wishing they could keep talking with Ashley forever.
There were quite a few big-shot experts on site, and they all had in-depth research in their respective fields; whether Ashley truly had the capability, they would know the depth just by listening for a while.
So, some scholars who hadn’t had a chance to ask Ashley questions yet said, “Alright, Professor Griffin, you’ve been asking for so long, shouldn’t it be my turn now?”
Exactly! Let each of us chat with them for a bit, what’s with you hogging them all the time?”
“What’s the rush? I’ll just ask one more question, after that…”
“No need to think, I know what you want to ask is nothing more than how to improve issues appearing in large-scale applications. Your question, if we start talking about it, it will definitely be endless. When will you finish talking?”
Tanya was also chatting with someone.
She was standing not far behind Ashley.
Tanya Vivian, who came with her, called out to her, “Mr. Brooks is asking you a question.”
Tanya had been paying attention to Ashley’s situation behind her.
She was almost perfectly clear about what was happening with Ashley.
So much so that she seemed absent-minded about her own side, and thus, when someone spoke to her, she couldn’t react immediately.
Hearing Vivian’s voice, Tanya came back to her senses, smiled, and said, “Sorry, Mr. Brooks, I was quite engrossed listening to Professor Griffin and them discuss, so…”
Tanya also studies Al, so it’s normal for her to be interested in the professional content discussed by other experts and scholars.
Mr. Brooks expressed understanding about this, and smiled, “It’s alright.”
After Tanya came back to her senses, she proactively started conversing with Mr. Brooks.
Only a mother knows her daughter best; Vivian could tell that Tanya’s expression had been a bit off for more than half an hour.
This seemed to be related to the situation with Ashley.
She had also overheard a bit about Ashley’s situation and knew that the experts on site were all vying to talk to Ashley.
They were flattering Ashley so much.
After Mr. Brooks left, Vivian glanced in Ashley’s direction, found an opportunity, and asked Tanya, “What’s wrong?”
Tanya retracted her gaze and said,”Now I understand why Professor Russell and Professor Louis had such high praise for Ashley a few days ago. Ashley, she really seems to have some capability.”
Several of the experts consulting Ashley were people she knew and knew to have a certain background.
Since they all had in-depth research in their respective fields, their own abilities naturally weren’t bad.

However, it was one thing for them to proactively engage with Ashley, but during their discussions, the suggestions Ashley gave them were actually treasured by them as if they were invaluable.
It was clear that Ashley’s ability was not bad.
She also listened quite carefully to the content of Ashley’s conversations with people; her knowledge coverage was indeed very broad, and there was a lot that she… simply couldn’t understand.
No wonder Professor Russell had previously said she was an all-rounder Al talent.
If Ashley had been simply repeating what Tim and William said when chatting with Professor Louis and others about industry technical breakthroughs at Sterling Corp a few days ago.
But what about now?
Now, the content Ashley was discussing with Professor Griffin and others was too broad and deep.
She also studied AI, and she knew that if it were just repeating what others said, Ashley absolutely couldn’t achieve this level.
Vivian was startled, seeing how eager the leading experts in these domestic industries were towards Ashley, Ashley indeed seemed to be capable.
However…
She said lightly, “She’s been by Tim’s side for so long. She often follows Tim to meet William. She has two of the country’s top Al experts imparting their knowledge to her. Isn’t it normal for her to have her current breadth of knowledge and ability? Otherwise, why would she have tried every means to prevent you from getting close to Tim back then?”
What’s more, I think if you were the one close to Tim and William, you would definitely do better than her!
