Arno SolinView profile
Associate Professor
Dr. Arno Solin is a tenured Associate Professor in Machine Learning at Aalto University's Department of Computer Science and an Academy of Finland Research Fellow . He leads the Aalto machine learning research group and serves as Director of the Finnish Doctoral Program Network in AI (AI-DOC) . His work bridges probabilistic modeling with practical applications in sensor fusion and real-time inference. ELLIS Scholar (European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems) Adjunct Professor at Tampere University Member of Young Academy Finland (2021–2025) Research Interests focus on data-efficient machine learning with probabilistic methods for real-time inference and sensor fusion. Key areas include Gaussian processes, diffusion models, stochastic differential equations, and uncertainty quantification in deep learning. His group develops methods that combine structural constraints with adaptive learning for deployment on resource-limited hardware. Publication Trends show consistent output in top venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AISTATS) with emphasis on diffusion models , 3D scene reconstruction , and real-time probabilistic modeling . Recent works explore physics-informed learning, heterophily-aware graph models, and compressed representations for world models in reinforcement learning. Scientific Recognition : Awarded AI Researcher of the Year 2024 by AI Finland Teacher of the Year 2023 at Aalto CS ISIF Jean-Pierre Le Cadre Best Paper Award (2018) MLSP Schizophrenia Classification Challenge Winner (2014) NeurIPS/ICML Reviewer Awards Research Leadership includes coordinating Finland's AI Center of Excellence program and directing the Finnish Doctoral Program Network in AI (AI-DOC). He supervises 15+ doctoral/postdoctoral researchers and has spun off Spectacular AI , a company commercializing sensor fusion technology.
