Does 80 technical papers in 2.5 years seem kind of off to anyone else? That's more than a paper every 2 weeks. Is there really time for meaningful research if you're publishing that often? Is he advising a lot of students? If that's the case, is he providing the attention generally needed for each one? Is his field just super different than mine?

This is a fair question. But also, we're talking about one of the most influential minds in deep learning. If anything he's selling himself short. He's definitely not first author on most of them, but I would give all my limbs to work in his lab.

I'm not questioning his contributions to the field. Just being on that many papers. It just seemed like such a crazy amount of publishing.

Though deep learning has been on fire the last couple years. And the list posted included a lot of preprints and workshops, which I hadn't really considered.

He sounds like a hack.
