American computer science and statistician Michael I. Jordan won the "Intelligent Science or Mathematics Award " for his "fundamental contribution to the theoretical basis of machine learning and its application"; German biochemist Dirk G?rlich won the "Life Science or Medicine Prize" for his "key discovery of the mechanism of transporting protein between the cytoplasm and the nucleus and its selectivity." The prize of each individual award is RMB 10 million. The two winners will come to Shanghai to attend the award ceremony in early November this year.
Michael I. Jordan was born in 1956 and is currently a professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science and the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Berkeley. His main research directions are artificial intelligence , biological systems and computing biology , control, intelligent systems and robots, signal processing, machine learning, etc. John Hennessy, chairman of the selection committee of the "Intelligent Science or Mathematics Award" of the
Top Science and Technology Association Award and winner of the 2017 Turing Award , said that Michael Jordan is a pioneer in the field of machine learning . He has worked in the field of machine learning for nearly 30 years and is one of the pioneers of using machine learning for specific topic models such as text analysis and image analysis. In the past 10 years, the application of machine learning in many fields has been explosively developed, such as autonomous vehicles, X-ray analysis, protein folding prediction, etc., which are inseparable from the theoretical framework shaped by Professor Jordan's research institute.
Dilke Gerlich was born in 1966 and is currently a member and director of the Max Planck Institute of Multidisciplinary Science in Germany. His main research directions are intracellular transportation, nuclear pore complex, input of protein and exotransfer protein, internal disorder protein and phase isolation, and recombinant antibodies.
Chairman of the Selection Committee of the "Life Science or Medicine Prize" of the Top Association for Science and Technology Award and the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2013 Randy Schekman (Randy Schekman), introduced that chromosomes are the gene map of the cell nucleus, and are responsible for all information about the proteins that catalyze life activities. To create these protein molecules , cell nucleus must communicate with each other inside and outside. Previously, the academic community has recognized that there is selectivity for protein transport between plasma membrane and the cell nucleus, but its selection mechanism and passage mechanism are not yet clear. Professor Gerlich was the first to discover the input protein responsible for identifying the nuclear protein signal and producing interactions. After the independent research was launched, he continued to obtain a number of basic discoveries, thus completely changing the research in this field.
Top Science and Technology Association Award is a science award initiated by World Top Scientists Association , hosted by Shanghai World Top Scientists Development Foundation, selected by global scientists and benchmarked against the world's highest academic level. The award selection adopts a nomination system, and the selection agency is divided into an evaluation committee and a selection committee, both of which are outstanding scientists from relevant disciplines in the international scientific community. As the exclusive donor of the TD Science and Technology Association Award, Sequoia China will continue to support the development of the award.
