SODA Lab advances statistics and optimization for data science and AI.

UPDATE: Our group will be moving to the ECE Department at the University of Michigan in Fall 2023!

 

Research focus: Statistical learning meets (non)convex optimization to enable resource efficient AI/ML

Current topics: deep learning theory, resource efficiency, learning & control, transformers and attention

Our lab's focus is principled and empirically-impactful ML methods. High-level criteria for joining our team

  • Self-motivated and intellectually curious with how things (e.g. AI/ML systems) work

  • Strong background in applied math (stats, optimization) and machine learning methods

  • Research experience in ML theory OR innovative AI/ML algorithms
