Question about professors in the Department of engineering and Department of Statistics #7606

Closed JinJinSang closed 1 month ago

Dear Emery,

I come from Oxford. I have just found that most of the professors in Oxford whose research focus on robotics, computer vision, and machine learning are not included in the csranking. I found the reason that computer science department in Oxford only includes these faculty focusing on theoretical computer science. And the robotics computer vision, and NLP are seen as applied science and therefore the related faculties are in the Engineering science. Similarly, the machine learning faculties are in the statistics and math department. These faculties also publish on top conferences and journals that are included in csranking. For example, professor Philip Torr, Andrew Zisserman, Andrea Vedaldi, João Henriques, Paul Newman, and etc. There are many famous and powerful professors not included.

I am wondering how to add these faculties into the csranking list. Based on the 'pull request rule: Faculty not in a CS department or similar who can advise PhD students in CS can be included regardless of their home department.' I found problem is that the PhD students of these faculties are also not in the computer science department although they are doing research either on robotics, computer vision, or machine learning.

CSrankings is for PhD students looking to get a PhD in Computer Science (or the local equivalent). Faculty in other departments who cannot advise PhD students for a PhD in Computer Science are ineligible for inclusion, no matter how "famous and powerful."
