Lecturers from Dai Nam University make their mark at the world's leading AI conference.

In the context of artificial intelligence becoming a global technological race, the fact that a lecturer from Dai Nam University has had their work published at the International Conference on Machine Learning 2026 (ICML 2026) – one of the most prestigious AI conferences in the world – is a special mark of research capacity, innovation, and international academic integration.

The research work of Mr. Nguyen Thai Khanh – lecturer in the Faculty of Information Technology – not only brings pride to the lecturer and the faculty as a whole, but also further affirms Dai Nam University's sustainable development strategy in promoting scientific research, improving the quality of training, and gradually integrating with the global higher education system.

ICML - The world's leading "academic arena" for AI.

ICML (International Conference on Machine Learning) is a prestigious scientific forum that brings together leading researchers, experts, and technology organizations from around the world, such as Google, MIT, Stanford, Microsoft Research, Facebook AI Research, and others.

This is considered one of the most influential conferences in the field of Machine Learning and AI, showcasing many pioneering research papers that contribute to shaping the development of artificial intelligence globally.

The research papers selected for publication at ICML undergo a rigorous international peer review process with a very high level of competition. Not only was the paper “MuonSSM: Orthogonalizing State Space Models for Sequence Modeling” by Professor Nguyen Thai Khanh accepted for publication, but it was also selected for presentation in the Spotlight Presentation category – a group of outstanding works with significant academic contributions at the conference.

This category is reserved for a very limited number of projects among thousands of studies from universities, research institutes, and technology corporations worldwide.

This achievement demonstrates the in-depth research capabilities, innovative thinking, and international academic integration capacity of the faculty members of Dai Nam University in the field of high technology.

Scientific research – the foundation for elevating the status of university professors.

In its development strategy, Dai Nam University has always identified scientific research as one of the important pillars of a modern university. The university continuously creates conditions for lecturers to participate in research, connect with international academics, publish valuable works, and promote research with practical applications.

At Dai Nam, scientific research is not only a professional activity but also a journey that helps lecturers continuously renew their knowledge, update advanced technologies, and enhance their professional capabilities in the context of ever-changing science and technology.

Particularly in the fields of Information Technology and AI, participating in international research projects helps faculty members:

• Stay up-to-date with the latest global technology trends.
• Enhance research thinking and the ability to solve practical problems.
• Expand academic connections with the international scientific community.
• Integrating modern knowledge into teaching helps students access advanced technologies right in the classroom.
• Contributing to improving the quality of training and the academic standing of the school.

For university lecturers, scientific research is not only about generating international publications, but also a way for them to enhance their critical thinking, creativity, and ability to lead students in the digital age.

An AI research lecturer today can provide students with up-to-date lessons for tomorrow's world. This is also how universities can bridge the gap between education and the ever-changing world of technology.

Each published research paper is not only a personal achievement of the faculty member but also contributes to spreading the academic spirit, inspiring research and innovation among students.

Affirming the orientation of an applied, innovative, and integrated university.

Professor Nguyen Thai Khanh's achievements further affirm the development direction that Dai Nam University is steadfastly pursuing: building an applied, innovative, and internationally integrated university model.

The university focuses on training high-quality human resources to meet the practical needs of society; while simultaneously promoting scientific research that creates practical value, social impact, and strong connections with the global scientific community.

In the context of AI becoming a strategic trend worldwide, the fact that lecturers from Dai Nam University have had their work recognized at a leading global AI conference is a testament to the quality of the faculty, the dynamic academic environment, and the pioneering spirit of innovation of the university.

Professor Nguyen Thai Khanh's achievements are not only a source of pride for the Faculty of Information Technology and Dai Nam University, but also further demonstrate the journey of building an innovative university environment – where lecturers constantly research, innovate, and integrate with global knowledge.

From its internationally recognized scientific achievements today, Dai Nam University is gradually affirming its position as a dynamic, modern, and academically ambitious applied university.
