Nino Shervashidze received one of the most prestigious awards in Machine Learning, the NIPS Outstanding Student Paper Award 2009.
Tübingen, Germany, January 25, 2010. Nino Shervashidze (23), Ph.D. student at the Max Planck Campus in Tübingen, received one of the most prestigious awards in Machine Learning, the NIPS Outstanding Student Paper Award 2009.
NIPS, the annual conference on Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems, is one of the premier conferences in Machine Learning, receiving around 1000 paper submissions each year. Every year, the program committee of NIPS selects one or two among these papers to receive the Outstanding Student Paper Award. The goal of this award is to promote excellence in student research, and to acknowledge some of the most outstanding work published at NIPS. The selection is based on the quality, originality, and clarity of the submission and its expected future impact. In recognition, Nino Shervashidze received a honorarium of 1000 US Dollars at the main conference in Vancouver, Canada.
Nino Shervashidze, aged 23, is a Ph.D. student in Karsten Borgwardt's research group for 'Machine Learning and Computational Biology', which is affiliated both with the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics and the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen. The Georgian scientist is among the youngest recipients of the award in the history of NIPS. In her paper, she presents a novel algorithm for efficiently comparing large networks. For instance, her work allows comparing the structure of molecules to then predict whether this molecule may serve as a drug. A „Honorable Mention“ Award was given to Bharath Sriperumbudur, a Ph.D. student fom the University of California, in cooperation with Bernhard schölkopf, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics.
