About the author

Born in Helsinki in 1970, Aapo Hyvärinen is a Finnish computer scientist whose research is closely tied to machine learning, statistics, and signal processing. He has been especially recognized for his work on independent component analysis, a method for finding hidden structure in data.

He earned his Ph.D. in Information Science at Helsinki University of Technology in 1997. Later, he became Professor of Computational Data Analysis and then Professor of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki, and he also held a professorship in machine learning at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University College London from 2016 to 2019.

For audiobook listeners interested in science and technology, Hyvärinen is best known as a clear guide to a challenging topic. His co-authored book Independent Component Analysis became an important introduction to the field and helped bring advanced ideas in neural computation and data analysis to a wider audience.
