Another Huazhong University of Science and Technology student gets an annual salary of 2.01 million yuan from Huawei !

For three consecutive years, six graduates from Huazhong University of Science and Technology have been selected for Huawei's "Genius Youth" program.

The two students selected this year are: Liao Minghui and Wu Minyan .

They are from the School of Telecommunications and the School of Computer Science of Huazhong University of Science and Technology respectively.

Liao Minghui is a recent doctoral graduate and has received the highest annual salary of 2.01 million yuan for "genius young people";

Wu Minyan is a college graduate and has an annual salary of over one million yuan.

Prior to this, four people from Huake, including Zuo Pengfei, Zhong Zhao, Zhang Ji and Yao Ting, had been hired by Huawei with high salaries through the "Genius Youth" program.

This made netizens sigh:

Huake - Huawei's talent pool.

According to official statistics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, more than 10,000 graduates have worked for Huawei, and the number of Huazhong University graduates currently in employment is around 5,700.

Both PhD and undergraduate students are selected

The person who received the highest salary in Huawei's "Genius Youth" program is Liao Minghui .

According to the official report of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, in 2012 Liao Minghui was admitted to the Communication Engineering Department of the School of Telecommunications of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and in 2016 he studied for a master's and doctoral degree under the tutelage of Professor Bai Xiang.

The main research direction of his laboratory is text detection and recognition in computer vision.

Liu Zhe, a junior in the same laboratory as Liao Minghui, did not find it surprising that he received the offer from Huawei's "Genius Youth".

"My senior brother has a very clear direction, and he insists on doing it thoroughly."

We can get a sense of this from one of his short stories.

During the summer vacation after graduating from undergraduate school, Liao Minghui was busy working on his first academic paper.

According to the plan, this paper will use the text detection algorithm in the paper of a senior in the laboratory. However, Liao Minghui found that this algorithm has too many hyperparameters, and the effect after changing the data set is not very ideal.

When the parameter adjustment effect was still not good, Liao Minghui wondered if a simpler and lighter algorithm could be designed?

So, under the guidance of his mentor and senior students, he proposed a text detector with a single deep neural network: TextBoxes.

Moreover, this research was published at the top artificial intelligence conference AAAI 2017 and has been cited 522 times on Google Scholar.

It is understood that the text detection algorithm published by Liao Minghui has been adopted by companies such as Tencent WeChat and Baidu, and included in the main branch of OpenCV.

During his doctoral studies, Liao Minghui was on a roll, publishing 10 first-author papers.

These include 2 top journals (both ESI highly cited papers) , 7 top conferences and 1 Zone II journal.

The number of Google Scholar citations exceeds 1,900, the total number of open source code stars on GitHub exceeds 3,000, and 5 invention patents have been applied for.

In 2019-2020, Liao Minghui went to Johns Hopkins University for joint training. At the same time, he is also a reviewer for many top journals and conferences, including TPAMI, IJCV, TIP, TNNLS, ICCV, ECCV, CVPR, AAAI, IJCAI, etc.

In addition, he has won the CCF-CV Academic Newcomer Award, two national scholarships, the Top 100 Chinese AI Rising Stars, the Internet + College Students Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition National Gold Medal, the CSC-IBM China Outstanding Student Scholarship and other honors or awards.

Another person who received Huawei's "Genius Youth" program is Wu Minyan, an undergraduate student majoring in computer science at Huazhong University of Science and Technology .

In Wu Minyan's introduction of herself, we can see that "working party" and "enthusiastic stamp collector" are the labels she gives herself.

Indeed, Wu Minyan is a true internship expert. According to a workplace social platform, Wu Minyan has interned at well-known companies such as Google, Ant Financial, and Microsoft China.

According to the teachers of the college, her comprehensive abilities are very strong, which added a lot of points to her in her job search.

5 people have received an annual salary of 2.01 million

In June 2019, Ren Zhengfei launched Huawei's "Genius Youth" program.

According to incomplete statistics from the Times Weekly, as of now, Huawei has recruited 17 "genius teenagers", five of whom have received the highest annual salary of 2.01 million yuan.

Previously, four Huazhong University of Science and Technology students, Zuo Pengfei, Zhong Zhao, Zhang Ji and Yao Ting, had been selected for the program.

Zuo Pengfei, Zhang Ji and Zhong Zhao all received the highest annual salary (1.82-2.01 million RMB/year) .

Ren Zhengfei previously stated:

These talented young people are like "loaches", invigorating our organization and activating our team.

When interviewed by reporters in February this year, he even said: Huawei welcomes scientists to join and can afford to support geniuses.

It is understood that Huawei's "Genius Youth" program has three salary levels: 896,000-1,008,000 yuan, 1,405,000-1,565,000 yuan, and 1.82 million-2.01 million yuan.

From the recruitment information on Huawei's official website, we can see that Huawei adheres to the standard of "selecting talents regardless of their background" for "genius teenagers":

There is no restriction on academic qualifications or schools , and we widely recruit talents in mathematics, computer science, physics, materials, chips, intelligent manufacturing, chemistry and other fields.

It is understood that Zuo Pengfei and Li Yi, who were selected as Huawei's "genius teenagers" in 2019, are currently engaged in cloud storage research and operating system formal verification work at Huawei.

Liao Minghui, who was selected this year, has now gone to Shenzhen and joined Huawei.

Despite the concern and congratulations from the outside world, the low-key him always feels that he has not done enough. In the future, he will engage in related work on the research and implementation of computer vision and OCR technology.
