Lightning Talks with 2022 Amazon Fellows
February 23, 2023
In 2021 Amazon and UCLA collaborated to establish the Science Hub for Humanity and Artificial Intelligence. In December 2022, the Science Hub advisory group selected their second group of Amazon Fellows, 13 among 44 nominations, for 2022, all Ph.D. students from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering.
Capturing our imaginations during a round of lightning talks, they presented their research, which spans machine learning, natural language processing, robotics, and beyond. Each fellow wrapped up their presentation with a brief Q&A session.
