ScholarGPS—the gold standard for quantifying global scholarly impact—has ranked Dr. Rajeev Sharma, VideoMining’s Founder and CEO, among the top 0.5% of scholars worldwide (out of 30M+ researchers). This recognition, driven by over 100 publications, 3,370+ citations, and an h-index of 36, validates his pioneering work in AI and computer vision—the very foundation of VideoMining’s patented technology that decodes shopper behavior through groundbreaking in-store market research.
AI Research Built on Award-Winning Behavioral Science:
Dr. Sharma’s Top 0.5% ranking in Computer Science—with specialties like Facial Expression Analysis (#2 globally) and Sensor Data (#2)—is the bedrock of VideoMining’s in-store research tracking and shopper research capabilities. These breakthroughs enable retailers and CPGs to decode the “why” behind purchases with unmatched precision - rooted in verifiable fact derived from real-life shopper behavior within real retail chains across the U.S.
From Lab to Legacy: A History of Innovation
ScholarGPS recognizes Dr. Sharma’s lifetime contributions to the field of AI and computer science, but among his greatest impact lies in transforming academic theory into a market research machine backed by over 50 patents and serving the majority of the top CPG and retail chain brands in the world. Collectively, this spirit of innovation has redefined retail intelligence and brought the science of shopper behavior to life for over 800 in-store market research projects.
Dr. Sharma’s pioneering work in AI, Computer Vision, Robotics, and Advanced Human-Computer Interfaces laid the groundwork for modern computer vision, enabling computers to comprehend and assess human behavior through data modeling. Since then, Dr. Sharma’s innovations have pioneered applications for decoding behavioral science in retail settings, bringing in-store behavior analytics to life like never before. Today, our perfected machine learning models are engineered to thrive in the real-life chaos of a store environment - from crowded aisles and fleeting glances, to split-second decisions and impulse purchases - bringing granularity and precision to the real-world of retail research and shopper research.
The Future of Shopper Behavior Science
This recognition isn’t just about past achievements—it’s about future-proofing brick-and-mortar retail through shopper behavioral science. ScholarGPS’s ranking criteria mirror our own:
