Academic Achievements
  • Developed 'Box Embeddings', a region-based representation learning model that compactly represents joint probability distributions with valid set-theoretic and probabilistic semantics.
  • Published 10 papers improving and extending box embeddings, achieving state-of-the-art results in collaborative filtering, textual entailment, and multi-label classification.
  • Formalized the probabilistic semantics of box embeddings (UAI 2021), proving valid probability distributions even with softness, outperforming baselines.
  • Proved box embeddings can represent any directed graph and introduced a trainable softness variant (NeurIPS 2021), making them optimal for directed graph representation in any dimension.
  • Currently developing a measure-theoretic framework for set representation learning to establish rigorous theoretical foundations.
