2) 至于Wikipedia, 你可以再看一遍, 通篇是对你导师的很negative调子, 请看:
"To date, he has failed to demonstrate that this approach could work."
"but, up to now, has failed to evolve anything that could be considered as a brain, or even a serious robot control system."
...
再看这一段,
"The original aim of de Garis' work was to establish the field of "brain building" (a term of his invention) and to "create a trillion dollar industry within 20 years". Throughout the 90s his papers claimed that by 2001 the ATR "Robokoneko" (translation: kitten robot) project would develop a billion-neuron "cellular automata machine brain" (CAM-brain), with "computational power equivalent to 10,000 pentiums" that could simulate the brain of a real cat. de Garis received a US$1.4 million grant to develop this. The first "CAM-brain" was delivered to ATR in 1999; No intelligent system was ever created with it. After receiving a further US$1 million grant at Starlab de Garis failed to deliver a working "brain" before Starlab's bankruptcy. At USU de Garis announced he was establishing a "brain builder" group to create a second generation "CAM-brain". No papers, or even a members list, were ever published by the group."
3) He had been given chances in USA to prove his hypothesis and himself, but he failed. He is a typical loser in the academic community.
至于你,做了他的学生,我只能说类似于上了贼船. Frankly speaking, if you wanna pursue an academic life in a country other than China in your future, you'd better not to mention your supervisor's name. 也许你现在听不进去,若干年后,you will realise that it is a sincere advice.
That is enough for today and for this Hugo de Garis.
