About Me
I am a Ph.D student working with Max Welling. I'm interested in various probabilistic machine learning problems including the Big Data problem, probabilistic graphical models, deep learning, and their applications to computer vision, natural language processing, and data mining. Among these, I'm now focusing on scalable Bayesian inference for big data.
