My Recent Projects
Knowledge Distillation
Model compression and beyond.
Open Source Software
I develop and open-source (mostly ML) frameworks that boost my research and I hope would be useful for the research community too.
Information Retrieval / Question Answering
Natural language processing for efficient IR and QA systems.
Supervised Compression for Split Computing
Weak mobile device, limited communication capacity, strong edge server. How can we achieve efficient inference?
Symbolic Regression for Scientific Discovery
Can we (re)discover hidden laws from observed data?
Peer Review Systems
What are the problems in the current scientific peer review systems? How can we imporve the systems?
