Yang You, born on April 19, 1991, is an Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore.[1]
Biography[change | change source]
Yang completed his undergraduate studies at the School of Information and Electrical Engineering, China Agricultural University. He earned his master's degree in Computer Science from Tsinghua University in 2015, and his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 2020 under the guidance of James Demmel.[2] He joined the National University of Singapore as an Assistant Professor in Computer Science and founded a company called HPC-AI Tech, focusing on combining high-performance computing (HPC) technologies with artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance AI productivity.[3][4][5]
Academic works[change | change source]
Yang is recognized for his contributions in large scale optimization. In 2018, he introduced the LARS algorithm[6], which achieved a new world record for ImageNet training, reducing the training time for AlexNet on ImageNet to just 24 minutes.[7] The following year, he further improved the algorithm and introduced the LAMB algorithm to address its limitations on attention models such as BERT, significantly reducing the training time for BERT from 3 days to 76 minutes.[8][9]
Honors and awards[change | change source]
Yang You is a Siebel Scholar and received the ACM/IEEE-CS George Michael Memorial HPC Fellowships in 2017. He was awarded the Lotfi A. Zadeh Prize in 2020 for his notable contributions to soft computing and its applications.[10] He was recognized in Forbes' 30 under 30 Asia list in 2021 and received the IEEE-CS TCHPC Early Career Award.[11][12]
