IEEE Computer Society Celebrates 2025 Technical Community on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TCPAMI) Awardees
Recipients honored at the IEEE CS/Computer Vision Foundation Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) in June
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 07 July 2025 – Today, the IEEE Computer Society (CS) celebrates the recipients of its Technical Community on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TCPAMI) awards. Presented at the IEEE CS/Computer Vision Foundation Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) in Nashville in June, 2025 awards include the Longuet-Higgins Prize, PAMI Young Researcher Award, and PAMI Thomas Huang Memorial Prize.
“The TCPAMI Awards honor important contributions to computer vision, highlighting technical work with lasting impact, the innovative thinking of emerging leaders, and the importance of mentorship and service,” said Walter Scheirer, chair of IEEE CS TCPAMI, and Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Notre Dame. “We are thrilled to recognize this year’s recipients who exemplify excellence in these areas.”
IEEE CS TCPAMI selected the following as this year’s award honorees.
Longuet-Higgins Prize
The Longuet-Higgins Prize honors a seminal work that achieves a “test of time” status. It annually looks back a decade to honor, in retrospect, the CVPR papers that have made a significant impact on computer vision research. The CVPR 2015 papers receiving the award in 2025 include:
- Going Deeper with Convolutions, Christian Szegedy, Wei Liu, Yangqing Jia, Pierre Sermanet, Scott Reed, Dragomir Anguelov, Dumitru Erhan, Vincent Vanhoucke, Andrew Rabinovich
- Fully Convolutional Networks for Semantic Segmentation, Jonathan Long, Evan Shelhamer, Trevor Darrell
Young Researcher Award
The PAMI Young Researcher Award recognizes a researcher, within seven years of completing their Ph.D., for outstanding early career research contributions. This year’s honorees are:
- Hao Su, Associate Professor of Computer Science, University of California, San Diego
- Saining Xie, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University
- Ishan Misra (honorable mention), Director, Research Scientist, Meta
Thomas Huang Memorial Prize
The PAMI Thomas Huang Memorial Prize honors researchers who are recognized as examples in research, teaching/mentoring, and service to the computer vision community. The award is given in memory of the late Prof. Thomas S. Huang, a pioneering scholar who left deep impressions in multiple fields including computer vision and image processing, and a role model who contributed to the growth and well-being of several generations of researchers in the community. This year’s awardee is:
- Kristen Grauman, Professor of Computer Science, the University of Texas at Austin
The 2026 TCPAMI Awards will be presented at CVPR 2026, taking place 6-12 June, in Denver, Colo. For more information on TCPAMI and the nomination process, visit https://tc.computer.org/tcpami/.
