Aravindan Raghuveer

Aravindan Raghuveer is a computer scientist whose AI work spans video systems, multilingual language technology and machine learning. He earned a B.E. in computer science from the University of Madras in 2001 and an M.S. in computer engineering from Minnesota in 2003, where he pursued a Ph.D. in computer science. His papers covered peer-to-peer video streaming, mobile purchase recommendations, controllable Hindi-English text, and learning from aggregate labels to sentence-level feedback for language models. Before Google Research, he worked as a Research Scientist at Facebook and a Principal Research Engineer at Yahoo Labs. As of October 2026, he is a Principal Engineer at Google DeepMind, Adjunct Faculty at Wadhwani School of Data Science and AI, and Associate Research Fellow at RBCDSAI.

Timeline

  1. 2001

    A computer science degree

    He earns a B.E. in computer science from the University of Madras in 2001.

  2. 2003

    Graduate study at Minnesota

    In 2003, he earns an M.S. in computer engineering from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, where he pursues a Ph.D. in computer science.

  3. 2010

    StatStream for video streaming

    In 2010, he coauthors StatStream, a peer-to-peer streaming framework that quantifies video quality and stability and uses graph-construction algorithms to provide statistical guarantees.

  4. 2018

    Mobile purchase recommendations

    In 2018, he coauthors the SIGIR paper Modeling Mobile User Actions for Purchase Recommendation using Deep Memory Networks. Before Google Research, he works as a Research Scientist at Facebook and a Principal Research Engineer at Yahoo Labs.

  5. 2022

    CoCoa for code-switching

    He coauthors CoCoa, an encoder-decoder model that converts monolingual Hindi text to Hindi-English code-switched text with fine-grained control over code-switching and formality. The paper reports a 10% reduction in perplexity on a language-modeling task.

  6. 2024

    Generalization in multiple instance regression

    In 2024, he coauthors work proving generalization error bounds for multiple instance regression when bags are drawn independently at random. The study also analyzes regression hardness and reports tests on overlapping bags using synthetic and real-world data.

  7. 2025

    FRACTAL for sentence-level scoring

    In 2025, he coauthors FRACTAL, a model suite that converts response-level labels into sentence-level scores for language-model optimization using multiple-instance learning and learning from label proportions.

  8. As of October 2026

    Principal Engineer at Google DeepMind

    He is a Principal Engineer at Google DeepMind, Adjunct Faculty at the Wadhwani School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and an Associate Research Fellow at RBCDSAI.

From the biography.

  1. 16% of AI career moves in the 2020s went from a university to a companyIncludes Aravindan Raghuveer. We estimate that 16% of AI career moves in the 2020s went from a university to a company; 29% of moves starting at a university went to a company, and 76% ended the university role.
  2. Google had the most people shaping AI every year from 2014 to 2025Includes Google. Our estimates of which organizations employed the most people shaping AI each year from 1955 to 2025, tracing the shift from university labs to companies.
  3. Google has the highest combined h-index among AI organizationsIncludes Google. We estimate that Google holds the highest combined h-index at 8,016, while universities account for 73% of the deduplicated total across AI organizations.
  4. 20% of people at companies who shape AI also hold a university role, led by Google and Stanford UniversityIncludes Google. We estimate that 539 of the 6,766 people with a known current organization (8%) hold both a university role and a company role, including 20% of people at companies and 13% of people at universities.
