Recently, "27-year-old Tsinghua Ph.D. serves as doctoral supervisor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University" has been on the hot search on Weibo, attracting the attention of many netizens. Who is he? Why can I be a PhD supervisor at such a young age?
This young doctoral supervisor is named Zhang Linfeng. He was born in Weifang, Shandong in 1997. He received his doctorate from the Institute of Cross-Information at Tsinghua University in June this year. He is now an assistant professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Artificial Intelligence at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Zhang Linfeng’s research direction is efficient artificial intelligence (efficient ai), including large models, image and video generation models, compression and acceleration of artificial intelligence data sets, etc.
He has published more than 20 papers as the main author in international high-level academic conferences and journals, which have been cited more than 2,000 times. He has served as a reviewer for many academic conferences such as neurips, iclr, icml, cvpr, iccv, etc., and has won several awards. Honorary commendations include Beijing’s Outstanding Graduates, Tsinghua University’s Outstanding Doctoral Thesis, Microsoft Scholar Scholarship (12 in Asia), Tsinghua University Jiang Nanxiang Scholarship, etc.
Tsinghua University Interdisciplinary Information Research Institute said that Zhang Linfeng’s research has promoted the development of basic research in the field of artificial intelligence to a certain extent. For example, in 2019, he proposed a self-distillation algorithm that proved for the first time that a teacher model is not necessary in knowledge distillation, promoting the development of the field of teacher-free knowledge distillation.
Professor kuk-jin yoon of of the Korean Academy of Science and Technology said, "Compared with sequential algorithms, self-distillation algorithms have significant advantages, with better generalization and higher efficiency." Associate Professor Han Song from MIT has a special section in his course to introduce the self-distillation algorithm.
Zhang Linfeng’s research results also have rich practical application value. He has successfully extended knowledge distillation and model compression to two-dimensional detection, three-dimensional detection, multi-view image detection, instance segmentation, image generation, video super-resolution and other application tasks. , and has been deployed and applied in actual business, so that artificial intelligence can truly serve people's lives.
When he graduated, Zhang Linfeng gave up the million-dollar salary offered by many companies and chose to teach at the School of Artificial Intelligence of Shanghai Jiao Tong University to carry out scientific research and education.
In an interview with reporters, Zhang Linfeng said: "I think doing scientific research is a very fun thing, and it is very important to have a good teacher to guide me. When I was at Tsinghua, my supervisor once guided me very well. In my scientific journey, I also want to create an interesting and meaningful scientific research environment for more students.”
Mentioning the attention he received on the Internet, Zhang Linfeng said: "Artificial intelligence is a young subject, and young people are the main force in artificial intelligence research. In fact, there are many people like him in universities. Young teachers, I don't want to bring 'age anxiety' to everyone, and I would also like to thank Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the college for their innovative system in the introduction and cultivation of outstanding young talents, so that young people can also have this "
"As a person doing scientific research, I feel a little uneasy because of being noticed by everyone. In the future, I hope that more people will know me because of my scientific research achievements." My research hopes to explore a more efficient development method on the road to the development of large artificial intelligence models."
