Yandex named the laureates of its annual scientific award

Scientists who are engaged in research in the field of computer science will receive one million rubles for the development of their projects. In 2022, six young scientists became laureates:

•Maxim Velikanov — is engaged in the theory of deep learning, studies infinitely wide neural networks and statistical physics;

•Petr Mokrov — studies Wasserstein gradient flows, nonlinear filtering and Bayesian logistic regression;

•Maxim Kodryan — is engaged in deep learning, as well as optimization and generalization neural network models;

•Ruslan Rakhimov — works with neural visualization, CV and deep learning;

•Sergey Samsonov — studies Monte Carlo algorithms with Markov chains, stochastic approximation and other topics;

•Taras Hahulin — works in the field of computer vision.

It's cool that scientific supervisors are singled out also separately. This year, two people received grants — Dmitry Vetrov, Head of the HSE Center for Deep Learning and Bayesian Methods, and Alexey Naumov, Associate Professor at the HSE Faculty of Computer Science, Head of the International Laboratory of Stochastic Algorithms and Analysis Multidimensional Data.
