Taco Cohen
Cohen completed doctoral work with Max Welling on group-equivariant networks and later developed spherical and gauge-equivariant models. These methods build known transformations into neural-model structure. He co-founded Scyfer, a deep-active-learning company acquired by Qualcomm in 2017. This connects academic learning methods with industrial applications. Qualcomm created its generative-models and data-compression team in 2019. The work applies generative learning to image, video and speech compression.
