Kaiming He (Chinese: 何恺明; pinyin: Hé Kǎimíng) is a Chinese computer scientist who primarily researches computer vision and deep learning.[2] He is an associate professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is known as one of the creators of residual neural network (ResNet).[1][3]
Early life and education
[edit]He went to Zhixin High School in Guangzhou, China and was one of few students who scored first place in the 2003 Gaokao (China's college entrance exam) in Guangdong province.[4] He then went to Tsinghua University, obtaining a BS degree in 2007. From 2007 to 2011, he pursued a PhD at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in its Multimedia Laboratory.[5] His thesis, Single Image Haze Removal Using Dark Channel Prior, was completed in August 2011 under the supervision of Tang Xiaoou.[6]
Career
[edit]He started working for Microsoft Research Asia in 2011 and left in 2016 to join Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research, where he worked as a research scientist until 2024. In 2024, he became an associate professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.[2]
His 2016 paper Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition is the most cited research paper in 5 years according to Google Scholar's reports in 2020 and 2021.[7][8]
Awards and recognitions
[edit]He won ICCV's best paper award (Marr Prize) in 2017 and CVPR's best paper award in 2009 and 2016.[9]
He was awarded the 2023 Future Science Prize along with 3 collaborators for "fundamental contribution to artificial intelligence by introducing deep residual learning".[10]
