About the Center
The center conducts research at the intersection of two actively developing areas of data analysis: deep learning and Bayesian methods of machine learning methods. Deep learning is a section that involves building very complex models (neural networks) to solve problems such as classifying images or music, transferring an art style from picture to photograph, predicting the next words in a text. Within the framework of the Bayesian approach, probabilistic models based on the apparatus of probability theory and mathematical statistics are considered for solving such problems.
The center was created on the basis of the Dmitry Vetrov's Bayesian Methods Research Group.
HSE Lecturers Awarded Yandex ML Prize 2025
The Yandex ML Prize is awarded to lecturers and heads of educational programmes who contribute to the development of artificial intelligence in Russia. This year, 10 laureates were selected from 300 applicants, including three members of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science (FCS). A special Hall of Fame award was also presented for contributions to the establishment of machine learning as an academic field. One of the recipients was Dmitry Vetrov, Research Professor at the HSE FCS.
Technological Breakthrough: Research by AI and Digital Science Institute Recognised at AI Journey 2025
Researchers from the AI and Digital Science Institute (part of the HSE Faculty of Computer Science) presented cutting-edge AI studies, noted for their scientific novelty and practical relevance, at the AI Journey 2025 International Conference. A research project by Maxim Rakhuba, Head of the Laboratory for Matrix and Tensor Methods in Machine Learning, received the AI Leaders 2025 award. Aibek Alanov, Head of the Centre of Deep Learning and Bayesian Methods, was among the finalists.
