一张11年前的清华大学特等奖学金答辩照片近日引发关注。[1]2014年11月2日，杨植麟在清华的答辩中获得全满分成绩。[1]这位答辩者后来创办了月之暗面公司，推出了Kimi大模型；而他的推荐者唐杰则联合创办了智谱AI，开发了GLM系列模型。[1]
杨植麟在答辩中展示了其在数据挖掘和癌症预测等领域的学术成就。[1]他自述90%的专业课程成绩在95分以上，所有程序设计课程获得满分，成绩位居年级第一。[1]其学术发表成果包括在KDD 2013、WSDM 2014、CIKM 2014等顶级会议上发表论文，以及在DREAM9全球癌症预测大赛中获得第一名。[1]
作为推荐者，唐杰在推荐信中高度评价了杨植麟的研究能力。[1]他指出杨植麟开发的大规模并行化算法效率提升数十倍，已被华为、腾讯等企业采用，且在一年内以第一作者身份发表了三篇论文。[1]唐杰在推荐信中写道："他是我这几年见过的最优秀的学生、最有天赋的学生，我强烈推荐他。"[1]如今这两位师徒分别创办的公司市值合计超过1万亿元。[1]
A photograph from a Tsinghua University special scholarship defense hearing eleven years ago has recently circulated widely online, capturing the moment when Yang Zhilin—who would go on to found Moon Dark Side (Kimi)—achieved a perfect score in his defense [1]. His recommender was Tang Jie, who later co-founded Zhipu AI and led the development of GLM [1].
The defense took place on November 2, 2014 [1]. Yang Zhilin presented his academic achievements in data mining and cancer prediction, reporting that over 90% of his major courses scored 95 or above, all his programming design courses received perfect marks, and he ranked first in his grade [1]. His research papers were published at top-tier conferences including KDD 2013, WSDM 2014, and CIKM 2014 [1], and he won first place in the DREAM9 Global Cancer Prediction Competition [1]. In his recommendation letter, Tang Jie highlighted Yang's accomplishments, noting that Yang's large-scale parallelization algorithms improved efficiency by more than tenfold and were adopted by companies including Huawei and Tencent, and that Yang had published three papers as first author within a single year [1]. Tang Jie wrote: "He is the most outstanding and most talented student I have seen in recent years, and I strongly recommend him" [1].
Today, the two companies founded by this mentor and student pair have achieved a combined peak market valuation exceeding 1 trillion yuan [1].
