Foreign media: An analysis of over 5,000 accepted papers from the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) held last month in Rio de Janeiro reveals that Chinese universities have significantly surpassed their American counterparts in paper submissions.
The analysis shows that among the top 50 contributing institutions globally, mainland China accounts for approximately 44%, with Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Zhejiang University, and Peking University ranking first through fourth worldwide. Notably, Tsinghua University alone had 332 papers accepted. The United States accounts for about 32%, with Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, and MIT leading among American institutions, though each has roughly half the number of papers as Tsinghua.
If Hong Kong (accounting for 7.7%) is included, China’s overall share exceeds half of the total. A tech entrepreneur from Silicon Valley jokingly remarked on social media: "If you include researchers from mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Chinese-American scholars in the U.S., AI research is essentially dominated by Chinese people."
