About

Dr. Yu Zheng is the Vice President of JD.COM, leading the JD Intelligent Cities Business Unit and JD Intelligent Cities Research. He also serves as the Chief Data Scientist at JD Technology, passionate about using big data and AI technology to tackle urban challenges. Before Joining JD.COM, he was a senior research manager at Microsoft Research, with research interests across big data analytics, spatio-temporal data mining, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Zheng is also a Chair Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and an Adjunct Professor at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He served as the Editor-in-Chief of ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology from 2015 to 2021, and a member of Editorial Advisory Board of IEEE Spectrum. He is also an Editorial Board Member of IEEE Transactions on Big Data and the Chair-elected of SIGKDD China Chapter. He has served as chair on over 10 prestigious international conferences, e.g. as the program co-chair of ICDE 2014 (Industrial Track), CIKM 2017 (Industrial Track) and IJCAI 2019 (industrial track) as well as the area chair of AAAI 2019/2022.

Zheng publishes referred papers frequently as a leading author at prestigious conferences and journals, such as KDD, IJCAI, AAAI, VLDB, UbiComp, and IEEE TKDE. Those papers have been cited over 50,000 times (Google Scholar H-Index: 100 by Dec. 2023). He received SIGKDD 2022 Test-of-Time Award, the 10-Year Impact Award from ACM SIGSPATIAL four times in 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023 respectively, the Test-of-Time Award from IEEE MDM 2023, and five best paper awards from ICDE’13 and ACM SIGSPATIAL’10, etc. He has been invited to give keynote speeches at international conferences and forums (e.g. AAAI 2019, KDD 2019 Plenary Keynote Panel, IJCAI 2019 Industrial Days, MDM 2021 and SSTD2021) and guest lectures in universities like MIT, CMU, and Cornell. His book, titled “Computing with Spatial Trajectories”, has been used as a text book in universities worldwide and honored as the Top 10 Most Popular Computer Science Book authored by Chinese at Springer. His monograph, entitled "Urban Computing" (MIT Press), is the first text book in this field.

Zheng has received 3 technical transfer awards from Microsoft and 24 granted/filed patents. His technology has been transferred to Microsoft Products like Bing Maps. One of his projects, entitled Urban Air, has been deployed with the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection, predicting air quality for over 300 Chinese cities based on big data. He also leads a China pilot project on urban big data platform, which has been deployed in Guiyang City.

Zheng has been featured multiple times by influential journals. In 2013, he was named one of the Top Innovators under 35 by MIT Technology Review (TR35) and featured by Time Magazine for his research on urban computing. In 2014, he was named one of the Top 40 Business Elites under 40 in China by Fortune Magazine, because of the business impact of urban computing he has been advocating since 2008. In 2016, Zheng was honored as an ACM Distinguished Scientist. In 2017, he was recognized as the one of the Top 10 AI Innovators in China. In 2020, he was elevated to an IEEE Fellow for his contributions to spatio-temporal data mining and urban computing.

Chinese Bio

郑宇博士,IEEE Fellow,京东集团副总裁、京东城市总裁、京东智能城市研究院院长、京东科技首席数据科学家,KDD China主席,享受国务院特殊津贴专家,Elsevier中国高被引学者,具有十八年中美领先科技公司的管理和产品研发经验;在加入京东集团之前,他在微软亚洲研究院工作12年,是城市计算领域负责人;他还是上海交通大学讲座教授(Chair Professor)、南京大学、香港科技大学和香港理工大学等多所知名高校的客座教授。

郑宇博士在国际上开辟了“城市计算”(Urban Computing)领域和学科,提出了城市计算理论体系,是城市计算领域的先驱和奠基人,也是大数据和人工智能领域的领军人物和实践者。自2006年以来,郑博士城市计算和时空数据挖掘领域发表CCF-A类论文百余篇,论文被引用51,000余次,H-Index:101,根据Google Scholar的排名,在这两个领域均位列世界第一。由他主编的《Computing with Spatial Trajectories》一书被多个国家的高校选用为教材,被Springer评为(全球华人撰写的)最受欢迎的十本计算机类图书之一。他的个人专著《Urban Computing》由麻省理工出版社发行,是国际上城市计算领域的第一本教科书。他的五项研究成果历经行业十年的验证,分别获得数据挖掘领域最高奖项SIGKDD2022 Test-of-Time Award、IEEE MDM 2023 Test-of-Time Award,以及于2019、2020、2022和2023年四次获得时空数据领域国际最高奖项SIGSPATIAL 10-Year-Impact Award,是国际时空数据领域获此殊荣的唯一学者。2021年,根据AI2000影响力排名,郑宇博士在数据挖掘领域位列中国第一、全球第八。

郑宇博士曾担任人工智能顶尖国际期刊ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology的主编(Editor-in-Chief),是大陆学者担任美国计算机学会(ACM)顶尖期学术刊主编的第一人。他还担任大数据领域知名国际会议ICDE2014和CIKM2017的工业界主席,以及人工智能领域顶尖国际会议IJCAI2019的工业界主席,促进了该领域学界和工业界的融合。2019年,他作为大陆首位受邀学者在国际人工智能顶尖会议AAAI上发表主旨演讲(Keynote Speech),AAAI是人工智能领域最具影响力的国际会议之一。他也是KDD大陆首位被邀请的圆桌主题演讲者(Plenary Keynote Panel)、IJCAI 2019工业界主题演讲者和MDM2021、SSTD2021的主题演讲者。

他拥有丰富的科研实践和项目落地经验,拥有100多项国际、美国和中国发明专利,多项研究成功被应用在微软的产品中,三次获得微软技术转化奖。他主持开发了GeoLife、T-Drive、Urban Air和CityNoise等城市大数据系统,多次被科技评论等国际权威媒体报道。其中Urban Air首次利用大数据和人工智能技术来监测和预报细粒度空气质量,该服务覆盖了中国的300多个城市,并被中国环境保护部采用。2016年,他主持了城市大数据平台的设计和实施,并成功在中国大数据示范基地贵阳市部署。

他开创了京东智能城市业务板块,负责搭建团队、制定发展战略、打造科技产品、研发核心技术和统筹组织管理,为全国70多个城市提供服务,获得京东集团最高奖项“CEO特别奖”。他提出的城市计算为雄安智能城市建设提供了理论框架,他带领团队研发的城市操作系统成为雄安智能城市的数字底座,获得中国计算机学会科技进步杰出奖,经国家批复,雄安的智能中枢以“雄安城市计算中心”命名。在南通建设了中国第一个市域治理指挥中心,成为国家级标杆,并在后续主导了十余个城市的一网统管项目,他撰写的《城市治理一网统管》一书,成为多地政府的学习材料。他带领团队跟北京市一起推出了中国首个面向政府的协同办公系统“京办”,显著提高了政府的工作效率,在北京的疫情防控和重大活动保障中发挥了至关重要的作用。他为北京国际大数据交易所搭建技术服务体系,开启了中国数据交易的新篇章。

他主持国家级科研项目4项,总金额超1.8亿,担任国家重点研发计划-智慧城市与物联网重大专项首席科学家、总负责人,主导工业界和政府侧亿级经费以上大型项目二十余个。担任IEEE智能城市操作系统标准组主席,负责相关国际标准的制定。担任ACM数据挖掘中国分会(KDD China)主席,有效的连接工业界和学界,国内和国外的数据挖掘领域。担任北京市智慧城市专家委员会委员、全总数字化技术专家委员会委员、中国地理信息产业协会-城市空间信息工作委员会副主任等社会职务。

2013年,郑宇博士因在城市计算领域的贡献被MIT科技评论评为全球杰出青年创新者(MIT TR35),该奖项从计算机、通信、生物、医疗和金融等多个领域中全球范围一共评选出35位35岁以下的顶尖创新者。2013年11月,他作为现代创新者代表登上了美国《时代》周刊。2014年,由于他主导的城市计算具有巨大的商业前景和改变行业格局的潜力,被美国《财富》评选为中国40位40岁以下商界精英。2016年,他因为在城市计算领域的贡献被评为美国计算机学会杰出科学家(ACM Distinguished Scientist)。2020年11月,他因在时空数据挖掘和城市计算领域的杰出贡献,被评为国际电气与电子工程师协会会士(IEEE Fellow)

2017年在乌镇互联网大会上被评为中国AI英雄风云榜十大技术创新人物。2019年他与邬贺铨院士、李德仁院士一起被评为中国智慧城市十大影响力人物。2021年5月,因为他在智能城市领域做出的杰出贡献,被授予首都劳动奖章。2021年11月,郑宇博士主导的智能城市操作系统获得中国计算机学会科技进步杰出奖。2021年,被中国电子商会授予“中国AI金雁奖卓越成就奖”。2022年,被中国测绘学会评为“智慧城市先锋榜领军人物”。2023年被北京市委评为“北京市有突出贡献的科学、技术、管理人才”。
