Carlos Ernesto Guestrin is a computer scientist and a professor at Stanford University. He is best known for his contributions to scalable machine learning algorithms.[1]

Biography

Guestrin received a Mechatronics Engineer degree from the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo,[2] and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University, advised by Daphne Koller.[3] Guestrin went on to work as professor at Carnegie Mellon University (2004 to 2012), the University of Washington (2012-2021), and Stanford University (Since 2021).[4] He was a co-founder of Turi (formerly GraphLab), a machine learning startup that was acquired by Apple Inc. in 2016.[5] After selling the startup, Guestrin worked at Apple as the Senior Director of Machine Learning and AI.[6]

Guestrin was involved in the creation of various popular machine learning libraries and methods, including the XGBoost library,[7] the LIME technique for explainable machine learning,[8] and the GraphLab project for scalable machine learning.[9]

Honors and Awards

Guestin has received multiple honors and awards, including:

  • Receiving an ONR Young Investigator Award, 2008[10]
  • Receiving and IJCAI Computers and Thought Award (2009)[11]
  • Being awarded a Presidential Early Carreer Award (2010)[12]
  • Being elected as a Member of the National Academy of Engineering (2024)[13]
  • Receiving awards at prestigious CS confereces, including KDD 2007[14], KDD 2010[15], ACL 2020[16], and AISTATS 2010[17]
