Los Angeles, CA, USACollaboration with Me. I am open to external opportunities for invited talks, research collaborations, and employment (only on the part-time/advising/visiting basis). Let us have a chat by email. I frequently visit major cities, e.g., Seattle, NYC, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, and Bay Area to meet people, give talks, and host social events.
Research Interests: My work is organized around three complementary areas that represent different levels of ML:
