Tong Yang received his PHD degree in Computer Science from Tsinghua University in 2013. Now he is an associate professor in the School of Computer Science, Peking University. His research interests focus on data structures and intersection with networking, big data and machine learning, such as sketches, IP lookups, Bloom filters. He published 18 papers in SIGCOMM, SIGKDD, SIGMOD, and NSDI. One paper published as the first author in SIGCOMM18 was cited by 327 times, which has the most citations among all 40 papers in SIGCOMM18. He also served as the chair of international conferences and the editor of journals for many times. Many of his researches have been deployed in Huawei, ZTE, ByteDance, and Redis databases.
Representative Achievement:
Innovative probabilistic data structures in the fields of networking, databases, machine learning, large models, and data mining, which trade controllable and small errors for significant reductions in time and space complexity. Published over 70 first-author/corresponding-author papers in CCF A-class conferences, including 24 papers in SIGCOMM, SIGKDD, and SIGMOD. Authored the first SIGCOMM, NSDI, and ToN papers from Peking University. Led four National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) projects (regional joint, general, and youth) and was responsible for three key projects/sub-projects under the National Key R&D Program, as well as multiple projects with Huawei, Toutiao, and ZTE. Research results have been reported twice on the NSFC website and once reposted by the Ministry of Education Science and Technology Development Center. Research has been implemented at Huawei five times, Toutiao once, and Redis database once. Supervised Ph.D. students who have won the Presidential Scholarship six times, and undergraduates who have won the top ten undergraduate thesis awards in the college five times and the Beijing Excellent Undergraduate Thesis Award three times.
