Hi! I’m Zixin Yu from Shanghai World Foreign Language Academy (you can also call me Rowling). You can visit my multiverse in the and explore different galaxies to find:
- Tracing Back to the Origins Series 🧠
- A Library of Mathematical Blossoms 🌸
- A Swarm Robotics Solution for Sustainable Weed Management 🍃
- Polysophia Podcast 🌃
- And so forth!
About me
Essentially, I’m a person who loves to nurture my “divergent” curiosities through creation. It might be difficult to sum up this divergence in just a few words, but I think I can give a rough idea of myself through a few tags:
- I transform the abstract into the approachable. I’m interested in so many things. When diving into them, sometimes they seem way beyond my understanding. But I always have the courage to tackle them—whether it means reading academic papers, consulting online experts, asking questions on forums,
or simply putting myself through a bit of self-inflicted suffering. Eventually, I make sense of it all. So, when I see people struggling with knowledge that I went through, I naturally want to help by turning the abstract into something accessible. - I seek the origins of intelligence. AI, AI, AI. This might be one of the most frequently heard words since the emergence of GPT. My life has also been impacted by AI, but rather than the application side, I’m more interested in the theory behind intelligence. Richard Feynman once said that the best way to understand something is to recreate it, and that’s exactly the approach that I took. I have been exploring ways to recreate intelligence through neural models and attempting to understand them through mathematical tools.
- I enjoy philosophical reflections on big questions. Of course, I know what atoms, neural networks, and set theory are. But what intrigues me more is this: how are they even possible? The philosophical way of a priori analysis has always deeply fascinated me. Pondering the “big questions” not only satisfies my curiosity but also informs me of the beauty of thought. “Listen: there’s a hell
of a good universe next door; let’s go!” - I love this world. Why do we pursue knowledge. I think that beyond satisfying curiosity, there exists a deeply rooted goodwill toward the world. It is this goodwill that gives us the courage to explore the unknown, to step boldly out of our comfort zones, and to do something meaningful—not just for ourselves but for those around us, and even for the entire universe.
