Russian mathematician Yurii Nesterov was recently awarded the Gauss Prize for outstanding mathematical contributions and his “groundbreaking work” on optimization. The award cited his work on gradient descent methods—and particularly the “efficiency gains [they] provide to AI technologies.”Russian mathematician Yurii Nesterov was recently awarded the Gauss Prize for outstanding mathematical contributions and his “groundbreaking work” on optimization.
