In 2020, the world’s top 1000 computer scientists, 22 in the mainland, the largest number of USTC

Recently, the 6th edition of Guide2Research's annual ranking of top computer scientists was released!

This list has a history of 5 years.

This ranking reviewed various academic indicators of more than 6000 scientists around the world, and selected the top 1000 top scientists. The ranking is based on the Google Scholar H-index index collected before May 16, and also combines DBLP and citation value (h index needs to be >=40). The Chinese University Rankings have conducted preliminary statistics on the world’s top TOP1000 computer scientists undergraduates in 2020. China University of Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, and Peking University alumni rank in the top three, with 15, 10, and 7 outstanding alumni winning This honor. Among the top ten colleges and universities, the C9 alliance colleges and universities occupy 7!

Among the top 20 people, there are many AI experts, Hinton and Bengio. Among them, there are over 140 Chinese scholars, 45 Chinese scientists, and 22 mainland scientists. Compared to 18 years, the total number has doubled!

American scholars still dominate, with a total of 616 scientists, accounting for 61.6% of the total. Other leading countries are the UK 55, Germany 38, Canada 37 and Switzerland 34. Asian scientists have grown significantly, with 55 scientists on the list in 2020, compared to 37 in 2018.

MIT is the research institution with the most top computer scientists. A total of 44 scientists were selected. This year is the first time they surpassed Stanford University to top the list.

A total of 144 Chinese scholars were selected, of which the top 10 are:

1, the highest Chinese in h-index is still Professor Jiawei Han (Han Jiawei) of the University of Illinois, with an h-index of 174 (in 2019, 164, 158 in 2018).

He won the McDowell Award in 2009, which is the highest technology award issued by IEEE. In the field of data mining, Professor Han Jiawei believes that in order to turn the existing unstructured big data into useful knowledge, the first thing to do is to structure the data. Because of his outstanding contributions, he is called the "leader of data mining". His "Data mining: concepts and techniques" published in 2011 has been cited 47,546 times.

2. The second highest ranked Chinese scholar is Philip S. Yu (Yu Shilun), with an h-index of 161 (155 in 2019 and 140 in 2018).
