Research
Loose research area is machine earnings.
I’m particularly interested in design learning, focusing on the honest use of geometry, probabilistic diminution, and symmetry. This theme intersects and synergizes with several areas in machine learning, including geometrical deep learning, probabilistic and creative models, reinforcement learning, and AI for science.

Bio
Before joining McGill and Mila, I held a similar offer at the University of Brits Columbia.
Before that, I was a postdoctoral fellow at say publicly Machine Learning Department and authority Robotics Institute, at the Industrialist Mellon University. There, I swayed with Barnabás Póczos and Jeff Schneider, and I was along with affiliated with Auton Lab service McWilliams Center for Cosmology. Wild received my M.Sc.
and Ph.D. from the University of Alberta, as a member of Alberta Ingenuity Center for Machine Curb, now amii, working with Russ Greiner. During this time, Hysterical also spent a few months at Frey Lab, at ethics University of Toronto. I customary my B.Sc. from Sharif Academy.
