On November 1, the reporter learned that Stanford University in the United States released the 2022 “World’s Top 2% Scientists 2022” on October 10. A total of 8 scientists from Tencent were included in the “Lifetime Scientific Influence Ranking”, and 30 scientists and experts were shortlisted in the “Annual Scientific Influence Ranking”. Among them, Tencent Chief Scientist Dr. Zhang Zhengyou is ranked 1002 in the world and Top 10 in China.
It is understood that the “Lifetime Scientific Impact List” focuses more on the impact of the entire academic career so far, and the “Annual Scientific Impact” focuses more on the academic achievements of the current year (2022).
The list was released by the team of Professor John PA Ioannidis of Stanford University and Elsevier, an international authoritative academic publisher. Comprehensive parameters such as the number of academic outputs and the level of academic output), the adjusted hm index of co-authors, the number of citations of individual or first authors and other comprehensive parameters, reflecting the output and academic influence of scientists, collected from 22 subject areas 2% of scientists worldwide in 176 sub-disciplines.
Eight Tencent scientists and experts, Zhang Zhengyou, Liu Wei, Yu Dong, Yao Jianhua, Zheng Yefeng, Wang Jue, Guo Diansheng, and Tang Duyu, were selected into the “Lifetime Science Influence Ranking” (a total of 195,605) and the “Annual Science Influence Ranking”. (200,409 in total), covering cutting-edge technology fields such as artificial intelligence and image processing, information and communication technology, and medical imaging. This shows that Tencent has a high international influence in basic research, and the technological leadership of scientists and experts has been recognized by international authorities.
It is worth noting that Dr. Zhang Zhengyou, Chief Scientist of Tencent, is ranked 36th, 30th and 30th in the world in the sub-fields of information and communication technology, artificial intelligence and image processing, network and communication, and China ranks in the top. three.
In recent years, Tencent has continued to increase its investment in basic research. In the first half of 2022, R&D investment reached 30.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26%.

From the perspective of academic achievements, Tencent has accumulated more than 285 papers in top academic conferences or journals such as ICML, CVPR, NeurIPS, ACL, etc., and won the championship in many competitions such as DSTC 8, demonstrating its industry-leading research capabilities and technical strength . In September this year, Tencent’s latest research achievement in the field of artificial intelligence and life science interdisciplinary applications “Single-cell transcriptome cell type annotation algorithm based on large-scale pre-trained language model”) was published in the top international academic journal “Nature” sub-issue “Nature Machine Intelligence”, which ranks first in the field of computer science and artificial intelligence.
As one of the first technology companies to engage in basic scientific research, Tencent continues to encourage scientific exploration and deploy cutting-edge technologies. The “Scientific Exploration Award” established in 2018 motivates young scientific and technological workers in the fields of basic science and cutting-edge technology. At the same time, Tencent’s rich business scenarios provide the best “training ground” for cutting-edge research results. On this basis, Tencent has fully polished its own technical capabilities, and opened up to various industries such as finance, government affairs, medical care, transportation, and education through Tencent Cloud in the form of products and services, giving full play to the application value of basic research and helping the digital transformation of the real economy. .
