Research interests

Our research interests involve the theoretical and practical aspects of machine learning. Our research focuses on mathematically founded solutions to modern real life problems that demonstrate non-traditional statistical behavior. Recent examples include efficient learning of high dimensional statistics using Gumbel-max perturbation mdoels in discriminative learning, generative learning and reinforcement learning. We also learn graph based attention models across modalities and consider different aspects of Bayesian deep learning using Gaussian perturbations of their parameters. The practice of our work is motivated by many visual and language problems.
