As a potential technology trend of the era, artificial intelligence (AI - Artificial Intelligence) is a field pursued by many young people. Recently, Nguyen Ngoc Phuong Trang - a Vietnamese female graduate student in the field of AI, successfully conquered three leading schools in the world including Stanford University, University of Washington, and National University of Singapore.
To achieve this success, Trang said she learned a lot from experts in the FPT Software AI Residency program and professors at the world's leading Artificial Intelligence Research Institute Mila (Mila - Quebec AI Institute). .
Before pursuing her doctorate, Phuong Trang was the author of two excellent studies published and presented at the Conference on artificial neural network information processing systems (NeurIPS - Neural Information Processing Systems). , one of the world's leading conferences on AI. These are two projects of which Trang is the main author, directly coordinating to implement research with a team of leading professors at Mila.
Among them, the project "Generalization of cross-influence mechanisms" (Reusable Slotwise Mechanisms) was published at the NeurIPS 2023 conference. The second project with the theme "Towards scalability in detecting influencers to Gene Regulation with GFlowNet” (Causal Discovery in Gene Regulatory Networks with GFlowNet: Towards Scalability in Large Systems) was presented at the GenBio workshop of NeurIPS 2023.
Reaching this important milestone, Phuong Trang affirmed that it is impossible not to mention the push FPT Software AI Residency - Training program to develop young talents in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
During the 2-year training period, the young girl was not only guided by leading scientists from FPT Software and major universities but also inspired to implement creative ideas.

“Personally, I feel very lucky to be able to nurture my passion for AI while participating in FPT Software AI Residency. Specifically, the time working with the program's partner, Mila Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, has helped me draw strong inspiration from the cultural diversity, teaching methods, and research directions that The world is following," Phuong Trang said.
Not the most prominent factor when she first joined the AI Residency, the young girl persevered and made constant efforts to pursue her scientific research goals. Sharing sessions, in-depth working time with experts as well as a professional research environment have helped Phuong Trang gradually put her name on the map of young AI talent in Vietnam and around the world.
“Regarding the decision to study for a doctorate, I prepared my application in early 2023 in a rather rushed time. At that time, I had just expanded my research direction and had not yet officially published articles at leading conferences in the industry. But thanks to the support and support of the teachers at Mila and the program, I completed my application with 2 articles and received letters of recommendation from the teachers at Mila who are the world's leading AI experts", Phuong The page shares more.
Besides the systematic training platform, Trang affirms that her time with AI Residency is also an opportunity to expand relationships: "One of the advantages of AI Residency students is being able to connect with talented experts and friends in many fields of study. I received enthusiastic support from my teachers and companions during the process of preparing documents for the doctoral degree. I consider this a blessing and appreciate this special connection."
Launched in 2021, FPT Software's AI Residency is a program to train young generations for Vietnam's artificial intelligence industry through research and development of in-depth projects in an international working environment. The program offers the opportunity to work with leading experts in AI, currently directly researching at many prestigious organizations in the world such as Mila Research Institute, National University of Singapore, University of Texas...
