Paul Viola is a computer vision researcher, and Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft. He is a former MIT professor, and a former vice president of science for Amazon Prime Air.[1][2] He is best known for his seminal work in facial recognition and machine learning. He is the co-inventor of the Viola–Jones object detection framework along with Michael Jones.[3][4] He won the Marr Prize in 2003 and the Helmholtz Prize from the International Conference on Computer Vision in 2013.[5] He is the holder of at least 57 patents in the areas of advanced machine learning, web search, data mining, and image processing.[6] He is the author of more than 50 academic research papers with over 56,000 citations.
