4. Dr. Alexander Novikov

   16 Dec 2021

   On December 16 our alumnus Alexander Novikov got his PhD on “Tensor methods for machine learning”. The thesis is focused on using low-rank tensor decomposition algorithms to develop faster methods for training models, methods for compressing and accelerating models, and creating less resource-intensive machine learning models from scratch. Dissertation was supervised by Ivan Oseledets and Dmitry Vetrov. Congrats to Dr. Alexander!

5. AI Super Grant

   07 Oct 2021

   HSE University, where most of our group is based, got a major grant from the Russian Government to support research in the field of AI in 2021-2024. Funding – the total amount is over 1 billion rubles – will be received from the budget of the Russian Federation, and our partners: SberBank, Yandex, MTS AI. The purpose of the project is to develop new AI technologies allowed to expand the scope of its application and overcome existing limitations for solving applied tasks, and to optimize AI-models. Dmitry Vetrov will provide scientific guidance for the project.

6. Sergey Troshin to receive a scholarship

   17 Jul 2021

   Sergey Troshin, a graduate student at BayesGroup, was awarded a personal scholarship for contribution to Computer Science. The scholarship has been recently established by the Faculty of Computer Science of HSE University for their students.

7. Dr. Daniil Polykovskiy

   25 May 2021

   On May 20 Daniil Polykovskiy defended his thesis on "Generative Models for Drug Discovery". The PhD Dissertation was prepared at HSE and supervised by Dmitry Vetrov. We congratulate Daniil — our new Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science!
