Research is in collaboration with Remi Dingreville, Marcin Abrams, Aram Galstyan, and Greg Ver Steeg
We’ll be presenting our ICLR paper “Improving Mutual Information Estimation using Annealed and Energy-Based Bounds”, Tues @ 10:30am PDT/17:30 GMT Talk: bit.ly/3vcFDW6 Paper: bit.ly/3Kcwi4X w/Sheldon Huang Marzyeh Greg Ver Steeg Roger Grosse Alireza Makhzani
I'm happy to announce that I'm joining Vanderbilt Computer Science this fall as an Assistant Prof, building a Machine Learning and Medical Imaging group (alongside some truly wonderful faculty already there). Please reach out if you want to collab!
**AI can detect new materials** New paper with Marcin Abram, Remi Dingreville, and Greg Ver Steeg just published in NPJ Computational Materials rdcu.be/cV6q4 Slides borrowed from a GREAT talk Remi Dingreville will be presenting at a SIAM DS siammds22.us2.pathable.com/meetings/n9YBP… 🧵1/6
AM is a general approach for learning CNFs or SDEs, w/o backdrop thru dynamics in training -natural for trajectory inference in biology, w/time snapshots given -or generative modeling w/flexible endpoint dists or interpolating processes (learned a ton from Kirill Neklyudov here :)
Congrats to our graduating ISIers! #Classof2023 Hrayr Harutyunyan is earning his #PhD in #ComputerScience, which he obtained under the supervision of his two advisors Aram Galstyan & Greg Ver Steeg. Following graduation, Hrayr will join Google Research in NYC as a #researchscientist!
