About me
I'm a recent Ph.D. graduate of the Departartment of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. My Ph.D was done under the supervision of Geoffrey Hinton and Richard Zemel. I will be joining Google-DeepMind in September 2016.
My CV can be found here. (Last updated: Feb 2016)
Research Interests
I'm currently interested in the development of learning algorithms and in particular the application of 2nd-order optimization techniques to deep and otherwise hard-to-optimize models. I'm also interested in sampling and inference algorithms, expressive efficiency of deep models, and unsupervised learning.
