Lynch: Rebellious search madman
"In a quiet cafe next to the University of Cambridge, a little bald young man is talking about his own algorithm. He looked around the window."
On this picture, the bald young man is later known as the Mikelynch of Bill Gates, the United Kingdom, and the friend sitting opposite him is a well-known musician in the UK, although friends almost I didn't understand what Lin Qi's algorithm was, but he decided to invest £ 3,000 to Lynch, as the first capital of Lynch and his companion. It was used to set up his first company with this 3,000 pound Lynch, and started his entrepreneurial journey.
"He can't understand what I am talking about. I guess he is touched by our enthusiasm." When the musicon was investing in himself, Lynch was still thinking.
Rebellious firefighter
Lynch's father is a firefighter. Lao Linqi gives the son's suggestion not to find a job like him: When everyone runs out of the fire, you have to rush. "At this time, you clearly know that you are approaching the gods, but you still have to do this." Lao Linqi warned his son: This painful taste is anyone who has never experienced people never experience.
The long-lasting Linqi is really like his father's hope, there is no firefighter who has become a "when someone else jogs", because he has admitted to the University of Cambridge, and stayed with school became a Dear lecturer.
Originally, Lindchi's parents hoped that the son worked well in the Cambridge and became a respected scholar. "As a person who is born in a working class, working in such a famous higher education in the world, family will feel very proud." Lin Qi said.
"The UK is a very traditional country, the hierarchical system is left behind, and the working class is difficult to enter the upper society. This, there is a lot of similar places in the UK and China." Lynch fully understands his expectations of his parents.
However, Lin Qi's thoughts have changed in the world famous university, and he hopes to change life through entrepreneurship.
"There is a little rebellion is very important." Lynch told reporters. "This may be the first step in a person who has achieved extraordinary success."
At the time, Lynch, who was 25 years old, was suddenly realized in the English Cambridge University. He suddenly realized that some mysterious areas in mathematics-graphical identification algorithm - the expertise included can be used in business. He sees that many very different people, such as desired to handle digital signals, and software programmers who wish to develop identifier, they are similar to similar algorithms. When he and another two friends who have started the article, after the beginning of the article, he founded a "neuro-dynamics) that specializes in finding problems.
A search madman
Shortly after Lynch's company was established, a British intelligence agency puts forward a problem: it needs a better way to organize, classify and retrieve it. It is particularly difficult to use, many files use the code of the agent. For example, "Pistol" appearing in the file is easy to confuse with the pistol in the real world, who can organize and retrieve this document?
"The answer is: You can use the context." Lynch and his team have studied a technology that draws important concepts from the document. They are not focused on keywords like most retrieval and classification software, but to extract important ideas from the words and frequencies of words in the text.
This software uses the probability theory of the work in accordance with the work of Thomasbayes in the 18th Century, THOMASBAYES, which makes a math identification mark for each concept, and then looks for similar concepts in other files.
Thomas is an armed missionary in the 18th century British, and he tries to prove the presence of God through mathematics. Lynchi is another way to use Beinos's theory to make a concept search in text, alternative keyword search.
Lindch believes that all networked companies can benefit from his retrieval of "disorder" data. The so-called "unordered" data refers to reports, emails, speeches, press releases, web, and so on that are not suitable for entry into the orderless database. In order to seek such opportunities, 1996, Lynch sold his "neurologically vitality company" to Autonomy, and served as CEO. Now, Autonomy has occupied more than 55% of the commercial search market. In this field, Lynch's competitors Google only account for 1%.
This smart search engine invented by Lindchi can study the text to search. After "learning" has accumulated a certain "experience", you can answer users like "What is the cheapest notebook?" Such search needs.
"This is the next generation of search engine technology that is different from keyword search. In the near future, it will completely replace the 'keyword' search engine represented by Google, Baidu." Lynch is full of confidence in the future of smart search engines. Lynch's goal is to hope that your company can become "the temple of disorderly data."
Mysterious, billionaire
The UK is a traditional country. Lindchi said that there are many similar places in the UK and China. Many traditions have accumulated many years. In the UK and even the entire Europe, there are very few a night of daisy Internet companies. Europe is only an orthodox aristocrat, like Nokia, Siemens, Philips, etc.
But Lin Qi counts one. Relying on Autonomy, Lindchi has become a billionaire in the first software industry in the UK. Later, wealth has some shrinkage, but the key is that his company is always profitable.
"Lynch's smart search engine is quite amazing, which is a myth that is created with a computer." A year ago, Chen Yifang saw this search engine and was deeply attracted. Now Chen Yighong is already AUTONOMY's general manager of China's largest partner excellence (Beijing) Co., Ltd. His current job is to sit in the joint office with Autonomy China every day, and come back to the client to demonstrate this intelligent search engine.
Chen Yighong opened the BLINKX.COM smart search engine website in his notebook. When the reporter's face button entered the word "Yao Ming", then click the video search function, and the video about Yao Ming is displayed. On the screen, and the search results are all started from the frame with Yao Ming's two words. And whenever demonstrates this time, Chen Yigo will seem to be a little excited, and it is not from independently asking him to the audience: "Magical ?!"
Lynch said that the entire story of search engines is far from ending. Now it is only a small part of the technology that can be implemented, and his legend has just begun. Society management in your company
As an entrepreneur from the University of Cambridge, Linqi has been full of feelings against Cambridge. He not only opened his company in the Science Park next to Cambridge, but also the company's employees were almost a colorful Cambridge graduates, but also formed a rich Cambridge culture in Autonomy, but Lin Qi has realized: this Culture does not replace the company's management.
Linqi centered on the reporter: "I didn't understand the management when I started to start business. As a scientific and technological personnel transformed into a very difficult thing to manage people, I am doing my own business."
Although this magical company, the current stock market value is only $ 600 million, it is not as good as the market value of China's Internet companies. However, Chen Yigo believes: because this is a British company, if this thing happens in the United States, maybe it is now simply from the market, not Google, but autonomy, because the British is still too conservative.
From the peak of the Internet, it is a thousand battles, many companies have disappeared without trace, but Autonomy is alive and has "profit for four consecutive years." "We have experienced some pain, but we have revised the direction in time, so that you are not like other companies." Lynch said.
Starting from 1998, Autonomy has launched in Brussels Easdaq, London Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, but after aware of management, Lynch only retains the company's stock in London, the rest of the two places Already delisted. "This is for the convenience of management." Lin Qi believes.
Lynch said that the past Europe has never been rebellious generation, from the general life to enterprise investment, filled the conservative atmosphere. So he was very happy to see the new momentum of rewriting the rules of the scientific market game rules recently rewritten.
Autonomy does not do its search engine's terminal, Lin Qi's thought is that Auton-Ome is only available in the core technology of search engines, serving some company services. "This way, we can stand on the shoulders of the giant, there is enough power to fight against strong competitors." Lynch told reporters.
In fact, it is now the world's security department including Italy, Singapore, which is using the core search engine of AutoN-Omy to handle the most confidential security information of these countries. Ability to enter a country's security department, see the strength of this company.
However, as Lin Qi said that he pays attention to money, but the global market, he expects the company's software to be a global industry standard.
