it's hard to believe this ranking.

+1.

NE is probably the most skilled university at gaming college rankings among all universities located outside China

Sorry, boomer. CSrankings measures faculty research prowess. Times have changed from the 1970's. Now go outside and yell at the clouds.

I do research in CS. I know the research literature. NE dies not actually publish very much highly cited (== relevant, important) CS research, unlike MIT or CMU or Stanford. NE publish mostly in low-tier workshops and open access (anyone can publish anything) places.

You do realize that CSrankings only includes the most prestigious publication outlets? That's the whole purpose of CSrankings. The ignorance here is astounding.

Is that true? Do they list the publications.

There are only like three top CS conferences, so the easiest way to figure this out is if they published the list of who was invited and their universities (understanding not all can attend, which is why you want to see the invites).

The harsh reality in general is that research from private companies is now far more influential because universities don’t have anything approaching the budget needed to do the leading edge CS research anymore and top professors are going to work in private industry.

Yes, true that. Industry has resources. But your undergrads have to first get a degree. The professors in UMD have a very close connection with industry. If your student can work with one of these professors, they will have a higher chance to get a job or internship in the industry. Better, get a PhD in CS. The industry labs still are hiring senior researchers who know how to do foundational AI and Robotics research.

Rankings like this make UMD feel really superior to Harvard... to which they are not.
