Ruslan Salakhutdinov ( Russian: Руслан Салахутдинов; born c. 1980) is a Canadian researcher of Tatar origin working in the field of artificial intelligence.
He specializes in deep learning, probabilistic graphical models, and large-scale optimization. [1]
Salakhutdinov's doctoral advisor was Geoffrey Hinton. [2] Salakhutdinov was considering quitting the field of artificial intelligence when he met Hinton in 2004, but changed his mind after Hinton asked him to take part in a project focused on a new way to train artificial neural networks, which he dubbed "deep belief networks." This research made a large impact on the field of deep learning. [3]
He received his PhD in 2009. [4]
He is well known for having developed Bayesian Program Learning. [2]
Salakhutdinov is a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. [5]
Since 2009, he has published at least 42 papers on machine learning. [6]
Salakhutdinov joined Apple as its director of AI research in 2016 but left in 2020 to return to Carnegie Mellon University. [1] [7] [8]
In June 2023, Salakhutdinov joined Felix Smart which is a company that uses AI to take care for plants and animals as Board Director. [9]
