Aditya Grover, an assistant professor of computer science at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, has received the Computers and Thought Award from the International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence, which recognizes early career researchers for notable contributions to AI.
Grover has been recognized for “his foundational contributions uniting deep generative models, representation learning and reinforcement learning, and for their applications in advancing scientific reasoning.”
As this year’s recipient, Grover will present his research at the group’s August meeting in Montreal, Canada.
Grover heads the machine intelligence group at UCLA, which develops AI systems that interact and reason with limited supervision. His research focuses on the intersection of generative models and sequential decision making.
He is the co-founder of Inception, a generative AI-innovation company, where he is developing a new generation of parallelizable large language models and solutions optimized for quality, speed and cost. Grover also investigates sustainability in computer science as part of the ML4Climate initiative.
