Profile
|
Yoshua Bengio is Full Professor of the Department of Computer
Science and Operations Research, head of the Machine Learning
Laboratory (MILA),
CIFAR Program co-director of the CIFAR Neural
Computation and Adaptive Perception program, Canada Research Chair in Statistical Learning
Algorithms, and he also holds the NSERC-Ubisoft industrial chair. His main research
ambition is to understand principles of learning that yield
intelligence. He teaches a graduate course in Machine Learning (IFT6266) and
supervises a large group
of graduate students and post-docs. His research is
widely cited (over 22000 citations found by Google Scholar
in early 2015, with an H-index of 60). Yoshua Bengio is currently action editor for the Journal of Machine Learning Research,
associate editor for the Neural Computation
journal,
editor for Foundations
and Trends in Machine Learning, and has been associate editor for
the Machine
Learning Journal and the IEEE
Transactions on Neural Networks. Yoshua Bengio was Program Chair for NIPS'2008
and General Chair for NIPS'2009
(NIPS is the
flagship
conference in the areas of learning algorithms and neural computation).
Since 1999, he has been co-organizing the Learning
Workshop with Yann Le Cun, with whom he has also created
the
International Conference on Representation Learning (ICLR).
He has also organized or co-organized numerous
other events, such as the
ICML'2012
Representation Learning Workshop, the
NIPS'2011
Deep Learning and Unsupervised Feature Learning Workshop, the
NIPS'2010
Deep Learning and Unsupervised Feature Learning Workshop,
the ICML'2009 Workshop
on Learning Feature Hierarchies
and the
NIPS'2007
Deep Learning Workshop.
