Professors John Savage and Michael Littman share the news that BrownCS alumnus David Blei '97 has won an ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computer Sciences for his development of powerful modeling techniques to speed information retrieval from large data collections.
Michael says, "I'm really excited for David. I got to work with him a little bit when he was a super-promising undergrad here in the 90s and he's been setting the field on fire since then. Between him and Rob Schapire, Princeton's AI group is all Brown alums!"
