Background
Research interests include compression and acceleration of deep neural networks (using quantization, pruning, and knowledge distillation), contrastive representation learning, multimodal generative models, and graph signal processing. Broadly interested in the mathematical foundations of machine learning and deep learning, particularly in understanding their expressivity, learnability, and generalizability.
