In 2022, 17 articles by the researchers of HSE Faculty of Computer Science were accepted at the NeurIPS (Conference and Workshop on Neural Information Processing Systems), one of the world’s most prestigious events in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. The 36th conference will be held in a hybrid format from November 28th to December 9th in New Orleans (USA).

35th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2021) is one of the world's largest conferences on machine learning and neural networks. It takes place on December 6-14, 2021.

Upon successfully defending his dissertation before HSE Dissertation Council in Computer Science, Pavel Dvurechensky became the first Doctor of Computer Science in Russia. This was possible thanks to the fact that, starting in 2018, HSE University received the right to award its own academic degrees.

In August, Control, Information, and Optimisation school was held by Sirius education centre. At the school Daniil Tyapkin, fourth-year student of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science bachelor’s programme has found an optimum algorithm of finding Wasserstein barycentre, which he was solving throughout 2020. Here Daniil talks about the history of the problem and its practical applications.
