Mila Core Academic Member and Assistant Professor at Université de Montréal Aishwarya Agrawal today received the Everingham Prize 2025, one of the most prestigious awards in the computer vision community, for her foundational contribution to the entire field.
This award highlights Aishwarya Agrawal’s exceptional work, specifically the Visual Question Answering (VQA) series of challenges, a set of high-profile academic competitions that have been crucial in the development of AI models that can understand and reason about visual content.
The awards committee praised Aishwarya Agrawal for “stimulating a new strand of vision and language research.”
“I am proud and honored to receive the Everingham prize this year. This is a milestone of my career and I will continue to contribute to the computer vision community along with the talented researchers of my lab at Mila,” Aishwarya Agrawal said.
The award, announced at the International Conference on Computer Vision in Hawaii, is going to Aishwarya Agrawal, Yash Goyal, Ayush Shrivastava, Dhruv Batra, Devi Parikh and collaborators.
The Everingham prize is given to a researcher, or a team of researchers, who have made a selfless contribution of significant benefit to other members of the computer vision community. The award is given out by the IEEE Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) Technical Committee, and the selection is managed by the PAMI TC awards committee.
