Professor Xing named 2022 ACM Fellow

We are excited that MBZUAI President and University Professor Eric Xing is among the 57 ACM fellows elevated this year, for his “contributions to algorithms, architectures, and applications in machine learning.” The MBZUAI community heartily congratulate Professor Xing for this prestigious recognition.

Xing’s research focuses on the development of machine learning and statistical methodology, and large-scale computational systems and architectures, for solving problems involving automated learning, reasoning, and decision-making in high-dimensional, multimodal, and dynamic possible worlds in artificial, biological, and social systems. His numerous contributions include foundational work in distance metric learning, statistical network modeling, distributed systems and algorithms for machine learning, and controlled text generation, with lasting impact in AI research and practice.
