I think China is huge in Computer Vision. And in terms of good Chinese papers ... there are really a lot of them in this Area, some of them are hugely influenti

  Example? (Of very influential Chinese papers in computer vision)

    https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.03385 https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.03385 Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition Citation 4000+. Milestone of image recognition. https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.01852 https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.01852 Delving Deep into Rectifiers: Surpassing Human-Level Performance on ImageNet Classification. Also known as PreLU, citation 1600+. The initialization scheme is widely adapted by a lot of following works. Those are the most influential ones, all come from Kaiming He. He is now in FAIR, and keeps very good publication record, with works like MASK-RCNN, but that doesn't really count as purely Chinese contribution, so we skipped here. Some recent memory: 1. https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.06211 https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.06211 2. https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.01507 https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.01507 3. https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.01083 https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.01083 4. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1608.06993 https://arxiv.org/pdf/1608.06993 5. https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.01088 https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.01088 Those are all good papers.

      We asked about papers from universities in mainland China. You posted 7 papers. One of them had a second author from Shanghai Jiao Tong, and another had a second author from Tsinghua. The rest were from industry, MSR, and western universities. So, we had someone from another field go searching for examples of good research from mainland Chinese universities, and come up empty-handed. I think this counts as further evidence for mainland Chinese universities being paper farms. :) And, what do you know? Kaiming He did his Ph. D. in Hong Kong, not mainland China.

        You might not take a close look, the one from Tsinghua is not second author, it is noted as an equal contributor. And there may be two western universities in total, taking into account of all authors. I like how your logics goes, that it is up to you to assign the credit as how much goes to who, everything doesn't fit your narrative doesn't count. As to your trivia, I don't think it matters, since his best research is done in MSRA, with coauthors that are mainland Chinese, not in that Hong Kong University. Majority of authors of the papers are from China, the research is done by Chinese, mainly in mainland China, I believe they are Chinese enough, the point I want to make is obvious. Otherwise, I feel majority of the US CV papers would be disqualified because they are likely not done by locals here. Last but not least, I was answering to the question as regards to good Chinese papers, not specifically from Chinese universities, not directly towards your question after all.

          Sean worked at Microsoft China; I don't think he's worried about Chinese output. There was never any question that lots of people from mainland China do great research (otherwise my department is in trouble). The question is about universities in mainland China. This is kinda the equivalent of me saying that the City University of New York isn't very good, and then you trying to name smart people from New York to disprove it. I understand you may be upset that I didn't like your answer, but I ask that you assume good faith and not accuse me (us?) of believing something we didn't say.

            I think it is then easy to settle. I wasn't answering your question, my answer is never about Chinese university anyway. If u feel being accused of and it is not what u mean, I am sorry. However, your post comes with a fighting spirit, and a trollish account, that seems to designatedly trigger people, if you expect good faith, I would suggest u to improve on the use of language
