Professor Zhihua Zhou is a young scholar who has grown up under the financial support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), and is mainly engaged in the research of machine learning, data mining, and pattern recognition in artificial intelligence. During his PhD program, Prof. Zhou participated in the NSF project "Research on Hybrid Machine Learning Models and Their Applications" (Grant No. 69875006). Prior to receiving the National Outstanding Young Scientist Award, Prof. Zhou was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under the "Research on Multi-Sample Learning and its Applications" (Grant No. 60105004), which was evaluated as "excellent" at the end of the project in 2005. After he was selected by the National Outstanding Young Scientist Foundation, he insisted on exploring in the front line of scientific research and in the frontier of the discipline without any arrogance.
A fundamental problem in machine learning is how to improve the generalization ability of the learning system. Prof. Zhou Zhihua has led the research group to carry out a series of work around this issue. In integrated learning, they proposed an integrated learning method with both generalization ability and comprehensibility, an integrated learning method for stable base learners, and an integrated clustering method, etc. In semi-supervised learning, they proposed a new type of semi-supervised classification method, and took the lead in conducting research on semi-supervised regression and active semi-supervised correlation feedback methods in the international arena; in the area of cost-sensitive and category-imbalanced learning, they also proposed a new type of semi-supervised classification method, which can be used to improve the generalization ability of machine learning systems. In the cost-sensitive and category-imbalanced learning, they also proposed a variety of new learning methods; they also applied machine learning techniques to face recognition and computer-aided medical diagnosis, and made good progress.
The research group led by Prof. Zhou Zhihua has published more than 40 papers over the past two years, including 19 papers in international journals (including 6 papers in IEEE Trans), and papers in authoritative international conferences, such as IJCAI; they applied for 3 national invention patents; some of the work on integrated learning, together with previous work, has been awarded the 2005 National Science and Technology Prize by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China. In 2005, the Ministry of Education nominated the first prize of National Science and Technology Award in Natural Science (ranked first), and part of the work in face recognition application research, together with some previous work, won the second prize of Jiangsu Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award in 2005 (ranked first). It is worth mentioning that, because the research work has entered the international frontier, although the publication time is still very short, the papers published in this project have been cited more than 40 times by international peers, of which nearly 20 times by SCI, and the cited authors are from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands and other more than 10 countries, including the Max Planck Institute in Germany, the Department of Computer Science at the Humboldt University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Washington and some other computer science departments, and the Department of computer science, and so on.
Since the work in recent years has had a certain impact in the international arena (according to incomplete statistics, the papers published by Prof. Zhou Zhihua in the past five years have been cited more than 240 times by international peers, of which more than 130 times by SCI, and the paper published in 2002 in Artificial Intelligence has been listed as one of the " top 1%" papers cited by ISI since 2000), Prof. Zhou is one of the top 1 percent of all cited papers published by ISI. In 2002, his paper in Artificial Intelligence was listed by ISI as one of the most cited "top 1%" papers since 2000, and some of his work was praised by international famous scholars), Prof. Zhou Zhihua began to become one of the outstanding young scientists in China's computer science community who have become prominent in the international academic arena. He was invited to serve as an Associate Editor of Knowledge and Information Systems, an important journal of Springer, the first Associate Editor from mainland China; an Editorial Board member of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, an important journal of Elsevier, the first Editorial Board member from mainland China; and a member of the Editorial Committee of the Journal of Computer Science, the first Editorial Board member of the Journal of Computer Science. He is also an editorial board member of the international journal He is also the first editorial board member of the international journal International Journal of Data Warehousing and Mining from mainland China, and serves on the editorial boards of Journal of Computer Science & Technology and Journal of Software, as well as the editorial boards of ACM He has also served on the editorial boards of Journal of Computer Science & Technology and Software Journal, as well as the guest editorial boards of ACM, Multimedia Systems, and The Computer Journal, a major international journal published by Oxford University Press. He has also been invited as a reviewer for the authoritative international journal Artificial Intelligence and 11 IEEE Transactions, and a member of the program committee or advisory board of more than 40 international conferences. He is the first scholar in mainland China to serve as a member of the program committees of the authoritative international conferences ICML, ECML, and ICDM, and the first scholar to serve as a member of the program committee of the authoritative international conference ICDM. He is the first scholar in mainland China to serve as a member of the program committee of ICML, ECML, and ICDM, and the first scholar to serve as the vice-chairman of the program committee of the prestigious international conference ICDM. In addition, he has been invited to serve as a reviewer for the Hong Kong Research Grants Council, the National Science Foundation of the Netherlands, and other overseas science funding organizations. A number of internationally renowned scholars have come forward to carry out collaborative research with Prof. Zhou Zhihua, some of them even paying their own expenses.
In the area of talent cultivation, one master's degree student supervised by Prof. Zhou Zhihua won the Jiangsu Excellent Master's Thesis Award, two doctoral students won the Microsoft Scholar Award, and a number of graduate students were awarded the Outstanding Student Thesis Award or the Outstanding Thesis Award at the national academic conferences as the first author.
Professor Zhou Zhihua's case illustrates that the evaluation of the Outstanding Young Scientist Fund has produced good results by boldly supporting young scholars with potential without prioritizing seniority. It is precisely because the evaluation of the fund only focuses on achievements, innovations and potentials that Prof. Zhou Zhihua was awarded the grant at the age of 29. The strong support from the EYFS has greatly facilitated his further growth.
