Raia Hadsell
Google DeepMindVP of Research
Hadsell develops ways for AI to learn new skills without losing old ones. She co-authored Progressive Neural Networks and elastic weight consolidation, two approaches to reducing this forgetting.[1][2] Her earlier work taught models to recognize similarity between images[3], while her robotics research explores how machines learn to navigate and act.
