I am a Professor of Computer Science of Tsinghua University. I am a Fellow of the ACM, a Fellow of AAAI, and a Fellow of the IEEE. My research interests include artificial general intelligence (AGI), data mining, social networks, machine learning and knowledge graph. Our research received the SIGKDD Test-of-Time Award (Ten-year Best Paper). I also received the SIGKDD Service Award.


Recent Research: I put all my efforts into artificial general intelligence with a mission toward teaching machines to think like humans. Similar to Open AI's GPT serials, we, together with a big research team, have developed GLM-130B, ChatGLM, CogView&CogVideo, CodeGeex. Proudly, our pretrained base model has been downloaded by more than 1,000 organizations from 70+ countries, and our open ChatGLM-6b has been downloaded by nearly 10,000,000 times all over the world.

For More: I also invented AMiner.org, which has attracted over 30,000,000 users from 220 countries/regions. I served as GC of WWW'23, PC of WWW'22, and EiC of IEEE T. on Big Data and AI Open J. I also received the 2nd National Award for Science&Technology, and NSFC for Distinguished Young Scholar.

Hiring: I am looking for highly-motivated and fully-devoted students to closely work with me on the exciting area of artificial general intelligence. I also have open Postdoctoral Positions to investigate underlying theory and algorithms in artificial general intelligence.

RESEARCH   Go Top
I am recently working on artificial general intelligence, graph neural networks, social network mining, and academic knowledge graph.

Large Pre-trained Models   [ChatGLM: 从千亿模型到ChatGPT (in Chinese)]  [Keynote@AIED'22/NetSci'22: Pre-Training the World (in English)]
GLM-130B (ICLR'23) is an open bilingual (English & Chinese) bidirectional dense model with 130 billion parameters, pre-trained using the General Language Model (GLM) algorithm (ACL'22). GLM-130B has been trained on over 1 trillion text tokens and exhibits quite a few unique features.
    Based on GLM-130B, we have developed ChatGLM by applying techniques such as supervised fine-tune and RLHF. The open-sourced version ChatGLM-6B tops the trending of Huggingface for more than three weeks.

Models and codes: [GLM-130B] [ChatGLM-6B] [GLM] [CogView] [CogVideo] [CodeGeex]
Representation Learning on Networks   [GNN&Self-supervised Learning] [人工智能下一个十年]
The goal is to automatically encode network structure into low-dimensional space (embeddings), using techniques such as neural networks.
    We theoretically prove that recent models such as DeepWalk, LINE, PTE, and node2vec can be unified into the matrix factorization framework with closed forms. we present a new method NetMF, which significantly outperforms DeepWalk and LINE for conventional network mining tasks (Qiu et al., WSDM'18). Based on the learned representations, we further propose a multi-head attention network for predicting user behavior (Qiu et al., KDD'18) and NetSMF for large scale networks (Qiu et al., WWW'19). Further, we incorporate user feedback into the prediction and propose a bandit learning model (Qi et al., NeurIPS'18).

Social Network Mining  [IC2S2'19 Tutorial]  [KDD'18 Tutorial]   [Book]  [Survey]
Online social networks already become a bridge to connect our physical daily life with the virtual information space, producing huge volume of networked data. We aim to understand the mechanism underlying the dynamics of social interaction between users and information diffusion in the network.
   We propose a new method Topical Affinity Propagation (TAP) to model the topic-level social influence (Tang et al., KDD'09), conformity influence analysis (Tang et al., KDD'13), structural influence (Zhang et al., AAAI'17), inferring social tie (Tang et al., WSDM'12, Tang et al., TOIS'16), and user demographics (Dong et al., KDD'14). At the macro-level, we focus on mining top-k structural hole spanners, who control the information diffusion across different communities (Lou and Tang, WWW'13) and following link diffusion (Zhang et al., TKDE'15).

Datasets and codes: [Topic-Influence [Structural hole] [Datasets for SNA]
Academic Knowledge Graph   [Tutorial]  [System]   [Career Trajectory]
We focus on building large-scale knowledge graph, particularly for scholarly data. In this research, we work on various topics including Expert Finding ( Qian et al., IJCAI'18; Tang et al., Machine Learning J'18 ) Career Trajectory Mining ( Wu et al., IJCAI'18 ) Social Recommendation (Tang et al., KDD'12), Information/knowledge Integration (Zhong et al., SIGMOD'09, Wang et al., WWW'12, Wang et al., IJCAI'13), Name Disambiguation (Tang et al., TKDE'12, Zhang et al., KDD'18 ) Summarization (Yang et al., SIGIR'11), Content Alignment (Hou et al., IJCAI'13; Hou et al., TOIS'17 ), Similarity Search (Zhang et al., TOIS'17).
   Based on these research, we have developed a system AMiner (ArnetMiner) (Tang et al., KDD'08 (SIGKDD Test-of-Time Award); Tang et al., TKDD'10), for academic search and mining. The system has over 136 million researchers and 200 million papers. Since 2006, the system has attracted over 10 million independent IP accesses from more than 220 countries/regions.
