2023年王选杰出青年学奖获奖者简介
Dong Bin is a tenured professor at the Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research, deputy director of the International Center for Machine Learning, a researcher at the National Center for Biomedical Imaging Science, and a vice president of the Changsha Institute of Computing and Digital Economy, Peking University. His main research areas are scientific computing and machine learning. Together with his collaborators, he revealed the deep connection between partial differential equations and wavelets, and inspired new algorithms to solve complex computational imaging problems. The connection between differential equations and deep neural networks was established, and a methodology for mechanism and data fusion was developed to solve challenging scientific computing problems.
Reason for the award: In recognition of Professor Dong Bin's outstanding contribution to mathematical modeling in image processing and data analysis, this award is hereby presented.
Qiao Yu is a professor and leading scientist of Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and a part-time researcher at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Qiao Yu is engaged in the field of computer vision and deep learning, in recent years, he has focused on general-purpose large models, and led the development of the first general-purpose large-scale model "Shusheng" in China that covers a wide range of visual tasks, and the benchmark task performance is internationally leading.
Reason for the award: In view of Professor Qiao Yu's outstanding contributions in the field of computer vision and deep learning based on general-purpose large models, this award is hereby awarded.
