Yann LeCun
New York University, 2004–2026
Also affiliated with Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (2004–2026) · Meta (2008–2023) · Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (2022–2023) · Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2024–2024)
Total scholarly outputs indexed in OpenAlex — journal articles, conference papers, preprints, book chapters, datasets, and more. Not filtered by venue type.
480
Works
Sum of citations to all of this author's works, counted from other OpenAlex-indexed works. Google Scholar typically reports 1.5–3× higher because it indexes theses, books, and gray literature that OpenAlex doesn't.
249.2k
Citations
Largest number h such that the author has h papers each cited at least h times. Rewards consistent impact over a single viral hit. Computed on OpenAlex citation counts, so will be lower than Scholar's h-index.
118
h-index
Number of papers with at least 10 citations each. A coarse 'how many of their papers actually got noticed?' signal.
281
i10-index
Average citations per work published in the last two years. A recency-weighted impact signal — high values mean their newest output is landing, not just their classics.
12.7
2yr mean cite
Conference papers in the last 365 days (trailing window). Counts: (1) works tagged as conference, (2) venue names matching known conferences (NeurIPS, CVPR, ICCV, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, IJCAI, CoRL, SIGGRAPH, USENIX, OSDI, SOSP, CHI, UIST, VLDB, etc.), and (3) arXiv CS preprints — because OpenAlex usually indexes the arXiv version 6–12 months before the conference version, so for CS researchers arXiv preprints are the best leading indicator of conference-bound output.
10
Conf / yr
All works published in the last 365 days — journals, conferences, preprints, book chapters, etc. Trailing window means it's stable across the calendar year, not biased low in January.

Last 10 years · sample of up to 200 works
Co-authorship doesn't imply mentorship. Frequent ties often signal lab members, collaborators, or grant partners — check the year range to tell them apart.

median over last 5 years
40 distinct first-authors across 94 last-author papers in the last 10 years.

Heuristic: count distinct first-authors of works where Yann LeCun is last author. Breaks for fields without PI-last-author convention (math, theory CS).
