About us
Yandex Research is a team of scientists focusing on fundamental problems in machine learning.
What we do
We study computer vision and self-driving cars, natural language processing and speech technologies, search and recommendation systems. Our research helps to improve the technologies in Yandex products. We also publish our findings at leading machine learning conferences and contribute to the community by organizing competitions, workshops and tutorials.
How we support the community
A creative and collaborative scientific environment is essential for productive research in most fields. We strive to develop the Russian academic community through collaboration with students and universities. For instance, we launched a machine learning residency program to provide an opportunity to grow for early-career researchers. Also, in collaboration with scientists from world-leading universities, we organize projects that move machine learning forward.
Research Areas
Tabular data
Tabular data involves two-dimensional tables with objects (rows) and features (columns), which are used in numerous applied tasks such as classification, regression, ranking and many others.9 publications2 posts1 datasetLarge-scale machine learning
Today, training most powerful models often takes significant resources. Our research aims to make large-scale training more efficient and accessible to the entire machine learning community.16 publications2 postsGenerative models
Generative models in computer vision are powerful tool for various applications.16 publications6 postsGraph machine learning
Graphs are a natural way to represent data from various domains such as social networks, molecules, text, code, etc. We develop and analyze algorithms for graph-structured data.15 publications5 posts1 datasetNeural algorithmic reasoning
Algorithmic reasoning focuses on building models that can execute classic algorithms. It allows one to combine the advantages of neural networks with theoretical guarantees of algorithms.2 publications2 postsComputer vision
