一、Yulin Cai

Dear Dean Takao Someya,

It is my great pleasure and honor to recommend Yulin Cai for his doctoral application for the School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo. I came to know Yulin since I serve as Yulin’s instructor of his master’s course at Tsinghua University. When hearing that he is pursuing an oversea PhD position, I would like to highly recommend him for his excellent learning ability, impressive intellect of interdisciplinary research and outstanding innovation spirit.

Yulin attended my course Artificial Neural Network in the 2020 fall semester. This course comprised a series of neural network algorithms developed for pattern recognition as well as their mathematical principles, while in this course I also designed several challenging assignments for students to train their abilities of algorithm implementation. As a result, Yulin resolved all these problems with superior quality, and many of his assignments also enjoyed the highest performance among my class. In the last lecture of this course, Yulin presented a PID algorithm for network training which was inspired from the automatic control theory. By introducing differential terms into the iteration process of network training, this proposed algorithm is able to enjoy a faster convergence rate compared with conventional training algorithms (including SGD and Adam) on many frequently-used machine learning datasets without loss of model performance. From his behaviors in my class, I think Yulin demonstrated his extraordinary capability to study with enthusiasm and creativity.

Currently, Yulin is working on Vision Radar technologies served for autonomous driving. In this project, Yulin uses freeform optics design strategies to establish the frontend point cloud acquisition system, and implements an improved U-Transformer as the backend processing algorithm. Such a novel combination of optical technology and machine learning has outperformed state-of-the-art results in reconstruction accuracy. This remarkable work has been submitted to TPAMI, which is a well-known international journal of artificial intelligence and I am quite optimistic for the review result.

I strongly believe that Yulin will become a preeminent researcher in his field of interest according to the exceptional academic potential he has shown during his master’s study. Therefore, I will give Yulin my highest recommendation. Please feel free to contact me at zhuoqing@tsinghua.edu.cn if you have any further questions regarding Yulin’s personal characteristics and academic capability.

Sincerely,

Associate Professor
Department of Automation, Tsinghua University
