from Moscow, Russia
Two papers were accepted to the Thirty-sixth Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2022):
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!
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.
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.
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!
Three young researchers of our team became the Ilya Segalovich Scholarship winners. The scholarship established by the Faculty of Computer Science (HSE University) in 2015 rewards academic and scientific achievements. Congrats to our winners, Artyom Gadetsky, Denis Rakitin and Sergey Troshin!
Dmitry Vetrov was awarded the prestigious Research Excellence Award Russia 2021 in the nomination ‘Contribution to the development of a globally relevant research topic’ for his work on Convolutional Neural Networks.
The Research Excellence Award Russia is presented by Elsevier, the world's largest publisher of scientific and technical literature and provider of information solutions in the field of science and education.
Dmitry Vetrov dedicated the award to his students, past and current.
Two papers were accepted to the 2021 Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL 2021):
The paper "Controlling Overestimation Bias with Truncated Mixture of Continuous Distributional Quantile Critics" by Arseny Kuznetsov, Pavel Shvechikov, Alexander Grishin, and Dmitry Vetrov earned a bronze award on Samsung Best Paper Award 2020. It is the central academic competition at Samsung which stimulates engineers and researchers to publish world-class level papers. Our members' paper was the only one from Russia that made it to the final stage along with 107 other papers (among 2180 initial submissions) from all over the world.
The paper On Power Laws in Deep Ensembles by Ekaterina Lobacheva, Nadezhda Chirkova, Maxim Kodryan and Dmitry Vetrov has been aceepted to NeurIPS 2020 for a spotlight presentation.
