Arti cial intelligence global leaders which tracks and ranks scholars based on citation counts from leading publications. The system tracked and analyzed research results for , scholars worldwide over a decade from , covering , papers and including top conferences and journals. The School of Engineering (SENG) has seen nine faculty members and several alumni included among the world’s leading researchers in arti cial intelligence (AI) in the AI Most Influential Scholar Annual List, released by Tsinghua University. The AI recognizes top-cited AI research scholars globally over the years from - and covers sub- elds. Researchers in the top of each sub- eld are named “most influential scholar” while those from - are accorded an “honorable mention”. Two SENG academics feature in the world’s top in two separate sub- elds. Prof. YANG Qiang, Chair Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, was ranked No. in the Association for the Advancement of Arti cial Intelligence Conference/International Joint Conference on Arti cial Intelligence (AAAI/IJCAI) section and No. in information retrieval and recommendation. Prof. QU Huamin, Computer Science and Engineering, ranked No. in visualization. Faculty awardees are listed^ in the table. At least four PhD alumni from the Departments of Computer Science & Engineering and Electronic & Computer Engineering were also included in the sub- elds of internet of things and AAAI/IJCAI. The results were announced by Tsinghua-Chinese Academy of Engineering’s Joint Research Center for Knowledge and Intelligence and Tsinghua’s Institute for Arti cial Intelligence. The list is automatically determined by computer algorithms through Tsinghua’s AMiner data system, 05 IN FOCUS keyboard for students with special educational needs in Hong Kong. SIGHT forms one of ve wide-ranging units under the School of Engineering that promote students’ all-round development through activities beyond the regular curriculum and cover areas from internship to global and community engagement.
