CFAR RESEARCHERS AMONG THE WORLD'S TOP 2% SCIENTISTS IDENTIFIED BY STANFORD UNIVERSITY

In a recent study by Stanford University, six scientists from A*STAR’s Centre for Frontier AI Research (CFAR) were featured among the World's Top 2% Scientists List.
List of CFAR scientists (in no particular order):
Scientist | Subject Field |
Prof Ivor Tsang | Artificial Intelligence & Image Processing |
Prof Ong Yew-Soon | Artificial Intelligence & Image Processing |
Dr Basura Fernando | Artificial Intelligence & Image Processing |
Dr Li Xiaoli | Artificial Intelligence & Image Processing |
Dr Lim Joo Hwee | Artificial Intelligence & Image Processing |
Dr Chen Zhenghua | Electrical & Electronic Engineering |
The study led by scientists from Stanford University has published a list comprising the top 2% of scientists in various scientific fields. The list was created by Professor John P. A. Ioannidis from Stanford University and his research team. It contains a publicly available database of 100,000 top scientists that provides standardised information on citations, h-index, co-authorship-adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions, and a composite indicator.
Updated databases and code are freely available in Mendeley. The original database (version 1) can also be found at https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/btchxktzyw/1, the updated (version 2) can also be found at https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/btchxktzyw/2, and any subsequent updates that might appear in the future will be generally accessible in https://dx.doi.org/10.17632/btchxktzyw.
Our heartiest congratulations to our CFAR members on their excellent achievement!
