Manik Varma is an Indian computer scientist and a senior principal researcher at
Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley before joining Microsoft Research
.
He currently conducts research in the broad fields on
Bing and Amazon.[4][1] Manik Varma along with his colleagues at MSR India also proposed another paradigm in machine learning called Edge Machine Learning[5] to enable machine learning predictions on tiny IoT
devices with as little as 2 KB of RAM assisting in low-energy, low-latency and privacy preserving applications of AI. In the past, he worked on statistical approaches to texture classification, object detection, multiple kernel learning and ranking.
He has been awarded the prestigious Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards for his contributions to Engineering Sciences in 2019.[6][7] His research works won the WSDM Best Paper award[8] and BuildSys Best Paper Runner-Up award[9] in 2019. He is also an Elected Fellow of Indian National Academy of Engineering[10] and held the Visiting Miller Professorship at University of California, Berkeley.[11][1] His professional services include being an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence.[12]
