Background
  • Machine learning researcher focusing on latent variable models, representation learning, Bayesian inference, and semi-supervised/unsupervised learning.
  • Has worked on machine learning, computer vision, physical inference, and optimization problems for the past decade.
  • Previously focused on 3D video tracking combined with physical models.
  • Currently researching representation learning, generative models, Bayesian modeling (strongly pro-Bayesian), and particularly the Mutual Information Machine (MIM).
  • MIM uses a novel symmetric variational inference approach to learn latent representations with high mutual information and low marginal entropy, and is not prone to posterior collapse unlike VAEs.
